and Extension of Provisional Measures
Pursuant to section 735(a)(2) of the
Act, on August 15, 2008, as amended on
August 22, 2008, Winner requested that
in the event of an affirmative
preliminary determination in this
investigation, the Department postpone
its final determination by 60 days. At
the same time, Winner agreed that the
Department may extend the application
of the provisional measures prescribed
under 19 CFR 351.210(e)(2) from a 4–
month period to a 6–month period. In
accordance with section 733(d) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.210(b), we are
granting the request and are postponing
the final determination until no later
than 135 days after the publication of
this notice in the Federal Register
because: (1) our preliminary
determination is affirmative, (2) the
requesting exporters account for a
significant proportion of exports of the
subject merchandise, and (3) no
compelling reasons for denial exist.
Suspension of liquidation will be
extended accordingly.
This determination is issued and
published in accordance with sections
733(f) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

Notice of Intent To Prepare a
Supplemental Environmental Impact
Statement (SEIS) for the Disposal and

a Public Scoping Meeting
Department of the Navy, DoD.
Notice.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: Pursuant to Section
(102)(2)(c)of the National Environmental
Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, and the
regulations implemented by the Council
on Environmental Quality (40 CFR Parts
1500–1508), the Department of the Navy
(Navy) announces its intent to prepare
a Supplemental Environmental Impact
Statement (SEIS) to evaluate the
potential environmental consequences
of the proposed disposal and reuse of
the surplus portion of Hunters Point
Shipyard, San Francisco, California.
DATES AND ADDRESSES: A public scoping
meeting will be held on Tuesday,
September 23, 2008, from 6 p.m. to 8
p.m. at the Southeast Community
Facility, Alex L. Pitcher Community
Room, 1800 Oakdale Avenue, San
Francisco, California 94124. The
purpose of the meeting will be to
receive oral and written comments on
environmental concerns that should be
addressed in the SEIS.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.
Patrick McCay, telephone: 619–532–
0906; E-Mail: patrick.mccay@navy.mil
or write to: Director, BRAC PMO West,
ATTN: Mr. Patrick McCay, 1455 Frazee
Road, Suite 900, San Diego, CA 92108.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
proposal being evaluated in the SEIS is
PO 00000
Frm 00016
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

the disposal and reuse of Hunters Point
Shipyard, which encompasses
approximately 860 acres (417 acres of
dry land and 443 acres of submerged
land) on a peninsula along San
Francisco’s southeastern waterfront
between the City’s Financial District
and San Francisco International Airport.
In 2004, Parcel A, approximately 76
acres, was transferred to the City of San
Francisco and is not considered as part
of the proposed federal action. The new
proposed federal action is a change in
reuse from, and represents an
amendment to, the original proposed
Hunters Point Redevelopment Plan, as
addressed by the Navy in the ‘‘Final EIS
for the Disposal and Reuse of Hunters
Point Shipyard’’ (March 2000).
The Navy is the action proponent for
the new proposal, which is also a
component of the Bayview Waterfront
Project being addressed in an
Environmental Impact Report by the
Redevelopment Agency of the City and
County of San Francisco and the
Planning Department of the City and
County of San Francisco. The purpose
of and need for the proposed action is
to dispose of surplus federal property at
Hunters Point Shipyard which was
closed in accordance with the Defense
Base Closure and Realignment for
subsequent reuse.
For the SEIS, two alternatives will be
considered as part of the disposal and
reuse action: Stadium Plan Alternative
and Non-Stadium Plan Alternative. The
Stadium Plan Alternative includes a
mixed-use community comprising 2,500
new residential units, 125,000 square
feet of retail space, 2,000,000 square feet
of research and development (R&D)
space, 250 acres of parks and
recreational open space, and civic and
community uses. A major component
would be a new, 69,000-seat National
Football League stadium for the San
Francisco 49ers.
The Non-Stadium Plan Alternative
would not include the stadium for the
San Francisco 49ers, but instead would
provide 5,000,000 square feet of R&D
space, in addition to the other
components noted under the Stadium
Plan Alternative for residential, retail,
R&D, parks and recreation, and civic
and community use space. Both action
alternatives would be consistent with
specifications of the Bayview Jobs, Parks
and Housing Initiative (Proposition G),
which was approved by San Francisco
voters in June of 2008.
The SEIS will also consider a No
Action Alternative.
Environmental issues areas to be
addressed in the SEIS include:
Transportation, traffic and circulation,
air quality, noise, cultural resources,
