DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE Responsible Official The Responsible Official is the Forest Supervisor of the Flathead National Forest, 650 Wolfpack Way, Kalispell, Montana 59901. The Forest Supervisor will make a decision regarding this proposal considering the comments and responses, environmental consequences discussed in the final EIS, and applicable laws, regulations, and policies. The decision and rationale for the decision will be documented in a Record of Decision. Comment Requested The comment period on the draft environmental impact statement will be 45 days from the date the Environmental Protection Agency publishes the notice of availability in the Federal Register. The Forest Service believes, at this early stage, it is important to give reviewers notice of several court rulings related to public participation in the environmental review process. First, reviewers of draft environmental impact statements must structure their participation in the environmental review of the proposal so that it is meaningful and alerts an agency to the reviewer’s position and contentions. Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Corp. v. NRDC, 435 U.S. 519, 553 (1978). Also, environmental objections that could be raised at the draft environmental impact statement stage but that are not raised until after completion of the final environmental impact statement may be waived or dismissed by the courts. City of Angoon v. Hodel, 803 F.2d 1016, 1022 (9th Cir. 1986) and Wisconsin Heritages, Inc. v. Harris, 490 F. Supp. 1334, 1338 (E.D. Wis. 1980). Because of these court rulings, it is very important that those interested in this proposed action participate by the close of the 45 day comment period so that substantive comments and objections are made available to the Forest Service at a time when it can meaningfully consider them and respond to them in the final environmental impact statement. To assist the Forest Service in identifying and considering issues and concerns on the proposed action, comments on the draft environmental impact statement should be as specific as possible. It is also helpful if comments refer to specific pages or chapters of the draft statement. Comments may also address the adequacy of the draft environmental impact statement or the merits of the atlernatives formulated and discussed in the statement. Reviewers may wish to refer to the Council on Environmental Quality Regulations for implementing the procedural provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act at 40 CFR 1503.3 in addressing these points.

The scope of the project is limited to decisions concerning activities within the Sheppard Creek Post-Fire Project Area that meet the Purpose and Need, as well as desired conditions. An environmental impact statement will provide the Responsible Official with the information needed to decide which actions, if any, to approve. This EIS will tier to the Flathead National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan and EIS of January 1986, and its subsequent amendments, which provide overall guidance for land management activities on the Flathead National Forest. Scoping Process Public questions and comments regarding this proposal are an integral part of this environmental analysis process. Comments will be used to identify issues and develop alternatives to the proposed action. To assist the Forest Service in identifying and considering issues and concerns on the proposed action, comments should be as specific as possible. Input provided by interested and/or affected individuals, organizations, and government agencies will be used to identify resource issues that will be analyzed in the draft EIS. The Forest Service will identify significant issues raised during the scoping process, and use them to formulate alternatives, prescribe project design features, and/or analyze environmental effects.

its Final Determination, the Department calculated individual rates for 
two mandatory respondents, Fuyao Glass Industry Group Co., Ltd. 
(``Fuyao'') and

[[Page 70295]]

Xinyi Automotive Glass (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. (``Xinyi''). The Department 
then assigned a separate rate to the companies that demonstrated an 
absence of government control over their export activities, and this 
rate was based on the weighted average of the rates assigned to Fuyao 
and Xinyi. See Section 735(c)(5) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(``the Act''). Shenzhen Benxun Automotive Glass Co., Ltd. (``Benxun''), 
and Changchun Pilkington Safety Glass, Co., Ltd, Guilin Pilkington 
Safety Glass Co., Ltd., and Wuhan Yaohua Pilkington Safety Glass Co., 
Ltd. (collectively ``Pilkington'') were among the companies that 
received separate rates during the investigation.
    In separate actions, plaintiffs, Fuyao, Xinyi, Pilkington, and 
Benxun\1\ contested several aspects of the Final Determination, 
including the Department's decision to disregard certain market economy 
inputs.\2\ On August 2, 2002, the Court consolidated these actions into 
Court No. 02-00282. On February 15, 2006, while the cases were 
consolidated, the Court remanded the Department's decision regarding 
certain market economy inputs to the Department. See Fuyao Glass 
Industry Group Co., Ltd. v. United States, Consol. Court No. 02-00282, 
2006 Ct. Int'l Trade Lexis 21, Slip Op. 2006-21 (CIT February 15, 
2006). As a result of its remand determination, the Department 
calculated zero margins for both Fuyao and Xinyi.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ On July 20, 2004, the Department determined that Shenzhen 
CSG Autoglass Co., Ltd. (CSG) is the 
successor-in-interest to Benxun. The amended final results of this 
segment of the proceeding will apply to entries made by CSG on or 
subsequent to July 20, 2004.

    In Fuyao Glass Industry Group Co. v. United States, Consol. Court 
No. 02-00282, (Orders of November 2, 2006, and December 19, 2006), the 
Court then granted the Department's request for a voluntary remand and 
instructed the Department to devise a reasonable methodology to 
calculate an antidumping margin for Pilkington and Benxun, taking into 
consideration the zero margins assigned to Fuyao and Xinyi. On January 
8, 2007, the Court severed Fuyao's and Xinyi's actions, Court Nos. 02-
00282 and 02-00321, from the consolidated action, and designated 
Pilkington's action, Court No. 02-00312, as the lead case, under which 
Court Nos. 02-00319 and 02-00320 were consolidated.
    On April 16, 2007, the Department filed its remand results with the 
Court. In its fourth remand results, the Department devised a 
reasonable methodology to calculate an antidumping margin for 
Pilkington and Benxun, taking into consideration the zero margins 
assigned to Fuyao and Xinyi. Specifically, on remand, the Department 
identified the control numbers (``CONNUM'') shared by Pilkington, 
Benxun, Fuyao and Xinyi, as reported in their questionnaire responses, 
and imputed Fuyao's and Xinyi's CONNUM-specific margins to the matching 
CONNUMs of Pilkington and Benxun. The Department then weight-averaged 
those CONNUM-specific margins, which resulted in the de minimis 
antidumping margin of 1.47 percent for Pilkington and Benxun.
    On May 10, 2007, and June 28, 2007, respectively, the Court issued 
final judgments in Court Nos. 02-00282 and 02-00321, wherein it 
affirmed the Department's third remand results with respect to Fuyao's 
and Xinyi's actions. On August 3, 2007, the Court issued a final 
judgement, wherein it affirmed the Department's fourth remand results 
with respect to Pilkington and Benxun.
    On November 7, 2007, the Department notified the public that the 
CIT's final judgment was not in harmony with the Department's Final 
Determination. See Certain Automotive Replacement Glass Windshields 
from the People's Republic of China: Notice of Decision of the Court of 
International Trade Not in Harmony, 72 FR 62812 (November 7, 2007). No 
party appealed the CIT's decision. As there is now a final and 
conclusive court decision in this case, we are amending our Final 
Determination.

Amended Final Determination

    As the litigation in this case has concluded, the Department is 
amending the Final Determination. The revised dumping margin in the 
amended final determination is as follows:
