prompt competitive interest in unleased
Federal coal in this area. The alternate
tract configurations for each of the LBAs
that BLM is evaluating are described
and analyzed as separate alternatives in
the DEIS. Under these alternatives,
competitive sales would be held and
leases issued for Federal coal lands
included in tracts modified by the BLM.
The DEIS also analyzes the alternative
of rejecting the application(s) to lease
Federal coal as the No Action
Alternative. The Proposed Actions and
alternatives for each of the LBAs being
considered in the DEIS are in
conformance with the Approved
Resource Management Plan for Public
Lands Administered by the Bureau of
Land Management Buffalo Field Office
(2001).
Requests to be included on the
mailing list for this project and to
request copies of the DEIS or
notification of the comment period or
hearing date, or both, may be sent in
writing, by facsimile, or electronically to
the addresses previously stated at the
beginning of this notice. The BLM asks
that those submitting comments on the
DEIS make them as specific as possible
with reference to page numbers and
chapters of the document. Comments
that contain only opinions or
preferences will not receive a formal
response; however, they will be
considered as part of the BLM decisionmaking process.
Please note that comments and
information submitted including names,
street addresses, and e-mail addresses of
respondents will be available for public
review and disclosure at the above

Notice of Availability of the Final
Environmental Impact Statement for
the Revision of the Resource
Management Plans of the Western
Oregon Bureau of Land Management
Districts of Salem, Eugene, Roseburg,
Coos Bay, and Medford, and the
Klamath Falls Resource Area of the
Lakeview District
Bureau of Land Management,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice of Availability.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: In accordance with the
National Environmental Policy Act of
1969 and the Federal Land Policy and
Management Act of 1976, the Bureau of
Land Management (BLM) has prepared
six Resource Management Plans with a
single associated Final Environmental
Impact Statement (RMP/FEIS) for the
Salem, Eugene, Roseburg, Coos Bay, and
Medford Districts and the Klamath Falls
Resource Area of the Lakeview District
in western Oregon.
DATES: The Assistant Secretary of the
Interior for Land and Minerals
Management is the responsible official
for the RMP. Accordingly, there will be
no administrative review ‘‘protest’’ on
the RMP/FEIS under 43 CFR 1610.5–2.
The Record of Decision (ROD) will not
be signed until at least 30 days after the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
publishes this notice of availability of
the Final EIS in the Federal Register.
ADDRESSES: Copies of the RMP/FEIS
have been sent to affected federal, state,
and local government agencies, and to
tribal governments. Interested persons
may review the RMP/FEIS on the
Internet at https://www.blm.gov/or/
plans/wopr/index.php. Copies of the
RMP/FEIS are available for public
inspection at Salem, Eugene, Roseburg,
Coos Bay, and Medford District offices
and the Grants Pass, Klamath Falls and
Tillamook Resource Area offices.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION, CONTACT:
Jerry Hubbard, Western Oregon Plan
Revisions Public Outreach Coordinator;
at (503) 808–6115.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BLM
has analyzed revision of six Resource
Management Plans with this single
Environmental Impact Statement. These
plans are the Salem, Eugene, Roseburg,
Medford, and Coos Bay District RMPs
and the Klamath Falls Resource Area
RMP. The RMP/FEIS for the Western
Oregon Bureau of Land Management
Districts has identified and analyzed
PO 00000
Frm 00129
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

four action alternatives, including the
RMP, for managing approximately
2,550,000 acres of federal land, most of
which are revested Oregon and
California Railroad Grant and Coos Bay
Wagon Road Grant lands, within the
western Oregon planning area.
The major resource management plan
issues include:
• Providing a sustainable supply of
wood and other forest products, as
mandated by the Oregon & California
Lands Act of 1937, while also meeting
other applicable laws.
• Providing for conservation of
species listed under the Endangered
Species Act.
• Contributing to meeting the goals of
the Clean Water Act and the Safe
Drinking Water Act.
• Reducing the risk of wildfire and
integrating fire back into the ecosystem.
Comments received on the Draft
Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS)
were important in shaping the Resource
Management Plans. The RMP is based
on Alternative 2 from the DEIS, but
includes portions of the other
alternatives in the DEIS.
Some of the key changes include:
• Wider riparian management areas,
as described in Alternative 1 of the
DEIS.
• Late successional management
areas were reconfigured to match the
Final Northern Spotted Owl Recovery
Plan.
• Deferring harvest for 15 years in
‘‘older and more structurally complex
multi-layered conifer stands,’’ as
described in Final Northern Spotted
Owl Recovery Plan in the timber
management area.
• Using uneven-aged management, as
described in Alternative 3 of the DEIS,
in the southern portion of the Medford
District and the Klamath Falls Resource
Area to decrease fire hazard and
increase fire resiliency.

Background: The Commission
instituted this investigation under
section 332(g) of the Tariff Act of 1930
(19 U.S.C. 1332(g)) following receipt on
May 15, 1992 of a request from the
USTR. The request asked that the
Commission conduct an investigation
assessing the quantitative economic
effects of significant U.S. import
restraints on the U.S. economy and
prepare periodic update reports after the
initial report. The Commission
published a notice of institution of the
investigation in the Federal Register of
June 17, 1992 (57 FR 27063). The first
report was delivered to the USTR in
November 1993, the first update in
December 1995, the second update in
May 1999, the third update in June
2002, the fourth update in June 2004,
and the fifth update in February 2007.
As requested by the USTR in a letter
received on August 22, 2008, the
Commission in this sixth update will
include a summary of the major steps
and results of U.S. trade liberalizing
efforts since 1934 and the effects of
liberalization as reported in the
economic literature. The USTR asked
that the summary be accessible to
readers who may not be professional
economists. As in previous reports in
this series, the sixth update will
continue to assess the economic effects
of significant import restraints on U.S.
consumers and firms, the income and
employment of U.S. workers, and the
net economic welfare of the United
States. This assessment will use the
Commission’s computable general
equilibrium model. However, as per
earlier instructions from the USTR, the
Commission will not assess import
restraints resulting from antidumping or
countervailing duty investigations,
section 337 and 406 investigations, or
section 301 actions.
Public Hearing: A public hearing in
connection with this investigation will
be held beginning at 9:30 a.m. on
January 8, 2009, at the United States
International Trade Commission, 500 E
Street SW., Washington DC. Requests to
appear at the hearing should be filed
with the Secretary no later than 5:15
p.m., December 2, 2008, in accordance
with the requirements in the ‘‘Written
Submissions’’ section below. In the
event that, as of the close of business on
December 2, 2008, no witnesses are
scheduled to appear at the hearing, the
hearing will be canceled. Any person
interested in attending the hearing as an
observer or non-participant may call the
Secretary to the Commission (202–205–
2000) after December 2, 2008 to
determine whether the hearing will be
held.

Written Submissions: In lieu of or in
addition to participating in the hearing,
interested parties are invited to submit
written statements or briefs concerning
this investigation. All written
submissions, including requests to
appear at the hearing, statements, and
briefs, should be addressed to the
Secretary. Any pre-hearing statements
or briefs should be filed not later than
5:15 p.m., December 11, 2008; and posthearing statements and briefs and all
other written submissions should be
filed not later than 5:15 p.m., February
6, 2009. All written submissions must
conform with the provisions of section
201.8 of the Commission’s Rules of
Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 201.8).
Section 201.8 of the rules requires that
a signed original (or a copy designated
as an original) and fourteen (14) copies
of each document be filed. In the event
that confidential treatment of the
document is requested, at least four (4)
additional copies must be filed, in
which the confidential information
must be deleted (see the following
paragraph for further information
regarding confidential business
information). The Commission’s rules
do not authorize filing submissions with
the Secretary by facsimile or electronic
means, except to the extent permitted by
section 201.8 of the rules (see Handbook
for Electronic Filing Procedures, https://
www.usitc.gov/secretary/
fed_reg_notices/rules/documents/
handbook_on_electronic_filing.pdf ;
persons with questions regarding
electronic filing should contact the
Secretary at 202–205–2000. Any
submissions that contain confidential
business information must also conform
with the requirements of section 201.6
of the Commission’s Rules of Practice
and Procedure (19 CFR 201.6). Section
201.6 of the rules requires that the cover
of the document and the individual
pages be clearly marked as to whether
they are the ‘‘confidential’’ or ‘‘nonconfidential’’ version, and that the
confidential business information be
clearly identified by means of brackets.
All written submissions, except for
confidential business information, will
be made available in the Office of the
Secretary to the Commission for
inspection by interested parties.
The USTR stated that her office
intends to make the Commission’s
report in this investigation available to
the public in its entirety and asked that
the Commission not include any
confidential business or national
security information in this report.
Consequently, the report that the
Commission sends to the USTR will not
contain any such information. Any

Corporation, et al., Civil No. 4:02–cv–
146 (USDC W.D. Ky.) for the Green
River Landfill Superfund Site, located
in Maceo, Daviess County, Kentucky
(the ‘‘Site’’). This Court originally
approved a Consent Decree in this
matter on September 27, 2002. Since the
time the original Consent Decree was
approved by the Court, the ‘‘Settling
Defendants’’ as defined therein, and the
United States Environmental Protection
Agency (‘‘EPA’’) have been unable to
implement the institutional controls
required at the Site by Section IX of the
Consent Decree. Under the proposed
Amended Consent Decree, one ‘‘Settling
Defendant,’’ Browning-Ferris Industries
of Kentucky, Inc. (‘‘BFIKY’’) has or will
acquire the property needed to institute
the necessary institutional controls and,
after entry of the Amended Consent
Decree, will transfer such property to de
maximus inc., defined in the proposed
Amended Consent Decree as the
‘‘Owner Settling Defendant.’’ In
addition, BFIKY will donate another
parcel to Daviess County, which desires
to keep it as open space. These property
transfers will permit the remaining
defendants to institute the required
institutional controls and the open
space will be an important buffer
around the Site.
Under the proposed Amended
Consent Decree, in exchange for the
property transfers referenced above,
BFIKY will have no further obligations
under the Amended Consent Decree and
will receive from the United States a
covenant not to sue or to take
administrative action pursuant to
Sections 106 or 107 of Comprehensive
Environmental Response,

Act (‘‘RCRA’’), 42 U.S.C. 6973, for the
United States’ past and future costs at
the Site. The remaining Settling
Defendants will receive from the United
States a covenant not to sue or to take
administrative action pursuant to
Sections 106 and 107 of CERCLA, 42

the Commission in this sixth update will include a summary of the major
steps and results of U.S. trade liberalizing efforts since 1934 and the
effects of liberalization as reported in the economic literature. The
USTR asked that the summary be accessible to readers who may not be

sixth update will continue to assess the economic effects of
significant import restraints on U.S. consumers and firms, the income
and employment of U.S. workers, and the net economic welfare of the

Public Hearing: A public hearing in connection with this
investigation will be held beginning at 9:30 a.m. on January 8, 2009,
at the United States International Trade Commission, 500 E Street SW.,
Washington DC. Requests to appear at the hearing should be filed with

201.8). Section 201.8 of the rules requires that a signed original (or
a copy designated as an original) and fourteen (14) copies of each
document be filed. In the event that confidential treatment of the
document is requested, at least four (4) additional copies must be
filed, in which the confidential information must be deleted (see the
following paragraph for further information regarding confidential
business information). The Commission's rules do not authorize filing
submissions with the Secretary by facsimile or electronic means, except
to the extent permitted by section 201.8 of the rules (see Handbook for
Electronic Filing Procedures, https://www.usitc.gov/secretary/fed_reg_
notices/rules/documents/handbook_on_electronic_filing.pdf ; persons
with questions regarding electronic filing should contact the Secretary
at 202-205-2000. Any submissions that contain confidential business
information must also conform with the requirements of section 201.6 of
the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 201.6).
Section 201.6 of the rules requires that the cover of the document and
the individual pages be clearly marked as to whether they are the
``confidential'' or ``non-confidential'' version, and that the
confidential business information be clearly identified by means of
brackets. All written submissions, except for confidential business
information, will be made available in the Office of the Secretary to
the Commission for inspection by interested parties.
The USTR stated that her office intends to make the Commission's
report in this investigation available to the public in its entirety
and asked that the Commission not include any confidential business or
national security information in this report. Consequently, the report
that the Commission sends to the USTR will not contain any such
information. Any

confidential business information received by the Commission in this
investigation and used in preparing its report will not be published in
a manner that would reveal the operations of the firm supplying the
information.
By order of the Commission.
Issued: October 10, 2008.
Marilyn R. Abbott,
Secretary to the Commission.
