Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 94 / Wednesday, May 14, 2008 / Notices
consist of raising the top of dam 3.5 feet,
extending the back toe of the
embankment to maintain a 3:1 slope,
installation of an additional principal
spillway (24″ hooded inlet type),
installation of a foundation drain system
along the back toe of the embankment,
lowering the crest elevation of the
auxiliary spillway 0.4 feet, installing a
splitter dike in the auxiliary spillway
and realigning the entrance section of
the auxiliary spillway. An impact basin
that will serve both principal spillway
outlets will be added to replace the
existing plunge pool. All disturbed areas
will be planted to adapted native and/
or introduced species. The proposed
work will not have a significant affect
on any prime farmland, endangered or
threatened species, wetlands, or cultural
resources.
Federal assistance will be provided
under authority of the Small Watershed
Rehabilitation Amendments of 2000
(Section 313, Pub. L. 106–472). Total
project cost is estimated to be
$2,383,400, of which $1,693,800 will be
paid from the Small Watershed
Rehabilitation funds and $689,600 from
local funds.
The notice of a Finding of No
Significant Impact (FONSI) has been
forwarded to the Environmental
Protection Agency and to various
Federal, State, and local agencies and
interested parties. A limited number of
copies of the FONSI are available to fill
single copy requests at the above
address. Basic data developed during
the environmental assessment are on
file and may be reviewed by contacting
Donald W. Gohmert, State
Conservationist.
No administrative action on
implementation of the proposal will be
taken until 30 days after the date of this
publication in the Federal Register.
Dated: April 28, 2008.

State Conservationist.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On December 20, 2002, the
Department signed an agreement under
section 734(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended (the Act), with Russian steel
producers/exporters, including J.S.C.
Severstal (Severstal), which suspended
the antidumping duty investigation on
certain cut–to-length carbon steel plate
(CTL plate) from Russia. See Suspension
of Antidumping Duty Investigation:
Certain Cut–to-Length Carbon Steel
Plate from the Russian Federation, 68
FR 3859 (January 27, 2003).
On January 31, 2007, Nucor submitted
a request for an administrative review
pursuant to Antidumping or
Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity
to Request Administrative Review, 72
FR 99 (January 3, 2007). On February
28, 2007, the Department initiated a
review of the Agreement. See Initiation

respectively, to Severstal. Severstal
submitted its responses on April 20,
2007, and October 26, 2007,
respectively.
On October 1, 2007, the Department
postponed the preliminary results of
this review until January 31, 2008. See

flat–rolled products rolled on four faces
or in a closed box pass, of a width
exceeding 150 mm but not exceeding
1250 mm and of a thickness of not less
than 4 mm, not in coils and without
patterns in relief), of rectangular shape,
neither clad, plated nor coated with
metal, whether or not painted,
varnished, or coated with plastics or

merchandise in this petition are flat–
rolled products of nonrectangular crosssection where such cross-section is
achieved subsequent to the rolling

is currently classified in the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTS) under item
