(1) The amount and diversity of
vegetation in some locations are less
than the current capability of soils.
(2) Sediment delivery to drainages
supporting fisheries, and retention of
precipitation on uplands, as evidenced
by headcutting/gullies and sign of active
erosion.
(3) Wildlife values within some aspen
stands are minimized by a lack of
diverse aspen age classes; in some
locations the diversity of herbaceous
and shrub species in the understory is
also diminished.
Scoping Process
The first formal opportunity to
respond to the proposed action listed
above is during the public scoping
process (40 CFR 1501.7) which begins
with the issuance of this Notice of
Intent. Scoping letters will be sent to the
forest mailing list of known interested
parties and news releases will be made
encouraging public to provide
comments and input into the project.
The scoping process will assist the
forest in identifying specific issues to be
addressed related to the purpose and
need and the scope of the decision. Mail
comments to the addresses given above.
Ongoing information related to the
proposed action and related analysis
will be posted on the Bridger-Teton
National Forest Web site https://
www.fs.fed.us/r4/btnf.
Early Notice of Importance of Public
Participation in Subsequent
Environmental Review: A draft
environmental impact statement (DEIS)
will be prepared for comment. The
comment period on the DEIS will be for
a period of 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 a
DEIS must structure their participation
in the environmental review of the
proposal so that it is meaningful and
alerts an agency to the reviewers’
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 DEIS 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 (ED. Wis. 1980). Because of
these court rulings, it is very important
that those interested in this proposed
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 217001
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 DEIS 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 DEIS or the merits of
the alternatives 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. Comments received,
including the names and addresses of
those who comment, will be considered
part of the public record on this
proposal and will be available for public
inspection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Postponement of Preliminary
Determinations
On July 14, 2008, the Department of
Commerce (the Department) initiated
the antidumping duty investigation on
Certain Tow Behind Lawn Groomers
and Certain Parts Thereof from the
People’s Republic of China. See Certain
Tow Behind Lawn Groomers and
Certain Parts Thereof From the People’s
Republic of China: Initiation of
Antidumping Duty Investigation, 73 FR
42315 (July 21, 2008). The notice of
initiation stated that the Department
would issue the preliminary
determination for this investigation no
later than 140 days after the date of
issuance of the initiation, in accordance
with section 773(b)(1)(A) of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).
On November 5, 2008 the petitioner,
Agri–Fab Inc., made a timely request
pursuant to 19 CFR 351.205(b)(2) and (e)
for a 50–day postponement of the
preliminary determination. The
petitioner requested postponement of
the preliminary determination due to
the complexity of the investigation.
For the reasons identified by the
petitioner and because there are no
compelling reasons to deny the request,
the Department is postponing the
deadline for the preliminary
determination under section
773(c)(1)(A) of the Act by 50 days.
Because the extended deadline, January
20, 2009, falls on a federal holiday, the
deadline for the preliminary
determination will be the next business
day, Wednesday, January 21, 2009. See
19 CFR 351.303(b). The deadline for the
final determination will continue to be
75 days after the date of the preliminary
determination, unless extended.
This notice is issued and published
pursuant to section 733(c)(2) of the Act
and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
October 10, 2007, notice was published
in the Federal Register (72 FR 57523)
that an amendment of Permit No. 532–
1882–02, issued July 17, 2006, had been
requested by the above-named
individual. The requested amendment
has been granted under the authority of
the Marine Mammal Protection Act of
1972, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1361 et
seq.), the regulations governing the
taking and importing of marine
mammals (50 CFR part 216), the
Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.),
the regulations governing the taking,
importing, and exporting of endangered
and threatened species (50 CFR parts
222–226).
The purpose of the amendment is to
obtain distribution and movement data
of southern resident killer whales
during the spring, fall, and winter
months via satellite tagging. The permit
amendment authorizes the tagging of up
to 6 individual adult or sub-adult male
southern resident killer whales per year,
three of which may be re-tagged per
year, throughout the inland waters of
Washington and the coastal waters of
Washington, Oregon, and California. No
more than 12 individuals are authorized
to be tagged for the duration of the
permit. The permit will expire on April
14, 2011.
In compliance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42
U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), an environmental
assessment was prepared analyzing the
effects of the permitted activities. After
a Finding of No Significant Impact, the
determination was made that it was not
necessary to prepare an environmental
impact statement.
