Plan, Appendix 8.
Copies of the environmental
documents and 2004 ROD are available

Preliminary Issues and Alternatives
Issues raised during the comment
period on the DEIS centered around
three main topics: (1) grizzly bear and
best available science, specifically the
science that was used in the
environmental analysis and by the IGBC
including the biological defensibility of
the 55 percent Core, 33 percent OMRD
and 26 percent TMRD standards; (2)
reductions in motorized public access;
and (3) impacts to employment and
income.

Early Notice of Environmental Review
The Forest Supervisors are giving
notice that the Idaho Panhandle,
Kootenai, and Lolo National Forests are
supplementing an existing
environmental analysis for this
proposed action so that interested or
affected people can participate in the
analysis and contribute to the final
decision. The Forest Service is seeking
comments from individuals,
organizations, tribal governments, and
Federal, State, and local agencies that
are interested or may be affected by the
proposed action. The draft SETS is
intended to provide additional
evaluation of current information on
grizzly bears, and provide that
information to the public. The public is
invited to help identify issues and
concerns related to the preferred
alternative and the supplemental
analysis documented in the draft SEIS.
Estimated Dates for Filing
The draft SEIS is expected to be filed
with the EPA and to be available for
public review in July 2008. The
comment period on the draft SEIS will
be 45 days from the date the EPA
publishes the Notice of Availability in
the Federal Register. The draft SEIS will
be distributed to all parties that received
the 2002 FEIS and Record of Decision as
well as to those who expressed interest.
The final SEIS is scheduled to be
completed by April 2009. In the final
SEIS, the Forest Service is required to
respond to comments received during
the comment period that pertain to the
environmental consequences discussed
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 214001
in the draft SEIS and applicable laws,
regulations, and policies considered in
making a decision regarding the
proposal.
The Reviewer’s Obligation To Comment
The Forest Service believes it is
important to give reviewers notice at
this early stage 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 [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 90day comment period so that 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 preferred alternative
and the supplemental analysis,
comments on the draft SEIS should be
as specific as possible. It is also helpful
if comments refer to specific pages or
sections of the draft SEIS. 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.

Closed Meeting: The members of the

meet in closed session to review and discuss
a number of issues relating to U.S.
Government-funded nonmilitary
international broadcasting. They will address
internal procedural, budgetary, and
personnel issues, as well as sensitive foreign
policy issues relating to potential options in
the U.S. international broadcasting field. This
meeting is closed because if open it likely
would either disclose matters that would be
properly classified to be kept secret in the
interest of foreign policy under the
appropriate executive order (5 U.S.C.
552b(c)(1)) or would disclose information the
premature disclosure of which would be
likely to significantly frustrate
implementation of a proposed agency action.
(5 U.S.C. 552b.(c)(9)(B)) In addition, part of
the discussion will relate solely to the
internal personnel and organizational issues
of the BBG or the International Broadcasting

Foreign–Trade Zone 26 Atlanta, GA,
Application for Temporary/Interim
Manufacturing Authority, Kia Motors
Manufacturing Georgia, Inc. (Motor
Vehicles), West Point, GA
An application has been submitted to
the Executive Secretary of the Foreign–
Trade Zones Board (the Board) by the
Georgia Foreign–Trade Zone, Inc.,
grantee of FTZ 26, requesting
temporary/interim manufacturing (T/
IM) authority within FTZ 26 at the Kia

(KMMG) facility in West Point, Georgia.
VerDate Aug<31>2005

The application was filed on May 7,
2008.
The KMMG facility (about 2,500
employees) is located at 700 Kia
Parkway in West Point (Troup County),
Georgia (Site 1 T1). Under T/IM
procedures, KMMG would produce up
to 350,000 light–duty passenger vehicles
(sedans, sport utility vehicles, minivans)
(HTSUS 8703.23, 8703.24) annually for
the U.S. market and export. Foreign
components that would be used in
production (representing about 25% of
total material inputs) include: oils
(HTSUS 2710.11), paints (3208.10,
3209.90), plastic tubes/pipes/hoses
(3917.31, 3917.40), plastic sheets/strips/
plates (3919.90, 3921.90), rubber tubes/
hoses (4009.11, 4009.31), rubber belts
(4010.31, 4010.33), tires (4011.20),
gaskets/washers/o–rings (4016.93,
4016.99), carpet sets (5703.20), safety
glass (7007.11, 7007.21), mirrors
(7009.10), tube fittings (7307.22,
7307.99), fasteners (7318.14), locks/keys
(8301.20, 8301.40), engines (8407.34),
engine parts (8409.91), pumps
(8413.30), valves (8481.80), and
bumpers (8708.10) (duty rates: free 8.6%).
FTZ procedures could exempt KMMG
from customs duty payments on foreign
components used in export production
(estimated to be 10% of plant
shipments). On its domestic sales,
KMMG would be able to choose the
duty rate that applies to finished
passenger vehicles (2.5%) for the foreign
inputs noted above that have higher
rates. Customs duties also could
possibly be deferred or reduced on
foreign status production equipment.
Public comment is invited from
interested parties. Submissions (original
and 3 copies) shall be addressed to the
Board’s Executive Secretary at the
following address: Office of the
Executive Secretary, Room 2111, U.S.
