Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 18 / Thursday, January 29, 2009 / Notices
This EIS
and plan describes four alternatives for
the management of deer at the
Lakeshore. Action is needed at this time
to ensure that the local deer population
does not become a dominant force that
negatively influences ecosystem
components within the Lakeshore, such
as sensitive vegetation or other wildlife.
Impacts to these Lakeshore resources
would compromise the Lakeshore’s
purpose to preserve the exceptional
biodiversity found within its
boundaries. The Lakeshore staff
currently implements resource
management actions to protect other
resources but no specific deer
management plan exists.
Under Alternative A (no action),
current deer management actions
(including limited fencing, limited use
of repellents, and inventorying and
monitoring efforts) would continue; no
new deer management actions would be
taken. Alternative B would include all
actions described under alternative A,
but would also incorporate non-lethal
actions to possibly reduce deer numbers
in the Lakeshore. The additional actions
would include the construction of
additional small- and new large-scale
exclosures, more extensive use of
repellents in areas where fenced
exclosures would not be appropriate or
feasible, and phasing in reproductive
control of does when there is a federally
approved fertility control agent for
application to free-ranging populations
that provides multi-year (more than four
years) efficacy for does. Alternative C
would include all actions described
under alternative A, but would also
incorporate a direct reduction of the
deer herd size through sharpshooting
and capture/euthanasia, where
appropriate. Alternative D would also
include all the actions described under
alternative A, but would incorporate a
combination of specific lethal and nonlethal actions from alternatives B and C.
These actions would include the
reduction of the deer herd through
sharpshooting, in combination with
capture/euthanasia and phasing in
reproductive control of does (as
described in alternative B) for longerterm maintenance of lower herd
numbers when there is a federally
approved fertility control agent for
application to free-ranging populations
that provides multi-year (more than four
years) efficacy for does.
The potential environmental
consequences of the alternatives are
addressed for vegetation, soils and water
quality, white-tailed deer, other wildlife
and wildlife habitat, sensitive and rare
species, archeological resources,
cultural landscapes, visitor use and

In the Matter of Polyvinyl Alcohol From
China, Japan, and Korea; Notice of
Commission Determination To
Conduct a Portion of the Hearing in

Commission.
ACTION: Closure of a portion of a
Commission hearing.
SUMMARY: Upon its own initiative, the
Commission has determined to conduct

January 27, 2009, in camera. See
Commission rules 207.24(d), 207.66(b),
201.13(m) and 201.36(b)(4) (19 CFR
207.24(d), 207.66(b), 201.13(m) and
201.36(b)(4)). The remainder of the
hearing will be open to the public. The
Commission has determined that the

Counsel, United States International
Trade Commission, 202–708–2969.
Hearing-impaired individuals are
advised that information on this matter
may be obtained by contacting the
Commission’s TDD terminal on 202–
205–3105.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In these
reviews, there are only three domestic
PVA producers, of which only two sell
in the commercial market. There is only
one producer of subject merchandise in
Korea. Only one of several foreign
producers in China and only one of four
producers of subject merchandise in
Japan submitted questionnaire
responses in these reviews. In addition,
there are only a limited number of
importers of polyvinyl alcohol into the
United States. Because much of the data
in these reviews is confidential, the
Commission believes that a closed
session is justified by the need to
discuss data that involve business
proprietary information (BPI)
concerning imports, individual foreign
industries, the domestic industry, and
prices. In making this decision, the
Commission nevertheless reaffirms its
belief that whenever possible its
business should be conducted in public.
The hearing will include the usual
public presentations by parties
supporting continuation of the
antidumping duty orders and those in
support of revocation of these orders,
with questions from the Commission. In
addition, the hearing will include a ten
minute in camera session for a
confidential presentation by parties
supporting revocation of the
antidumping duty orders. This session
will be followed by questions from the
Commission relating to the BPI and a
ten-minute in camera rebuttal
presentation by parties supporting
continuation of the orders, if needed.
Following the in camera session, the
Commission will reopen the hearing to
the public for the public rebuttal/closing
statements. During the in camera
session, the room will be cleared of all
persons except those who have been
granted access to BPI under a
Commission administrative protective
order (APO) and are included on the
Commission’s APO service list in these
reviews. See 19 CFR 201.35(b). The time
for the parties’ presentations and
rebuttals in the in camera session will
be taken from their respective overall
time allotments for the hearing. All
persons planning to attend the in
camera portions of the hearing should
be prepared to present proper
identification.
