pwalker on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES
Final Environmental Impact Statement/
General Management Plan; San Juan
Island National Historical Park, San
Juan County, WA; Notice of Approval
of Record of Decision
SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 102(2)(C)
of the National Environmental Policy
Act of 1969 (Pub. L. 91–190, as
amended) and the regulations
promulgated by the Council on
Environmental Quality (40 CFR Part
1505.2), the Department of the Interior,
National Park Service has prepared and
approved a Record of Decision for the
Final Environmental Impact Statement
for the updated General Management
Plan (GMP), San Juan Island National
Historical Park. The current GMP was
completed in 1979; many conditions on
San Juan Island and within the park
have changed, particularly in the last
15–20 years. The requisite no-action
‘‘wait period’’ was initiated October 31,
2008, with the Environmental
Protection Agency’s Federal Register
notification of the filing of the Final EIS.
Decision: As soon as practical San
Juan Island National Historical Park will
begin to implement park operations,
resource management, interpretive
programs, and land acquisitions (willing
seller) presented and analyzed as the
Preferred Alternative in the Final EIS
(and which includes no substantive
changes from the course of action as
presented in the Draft EIS). The full
range of foreseeable environmental
consequences was assessed, and
appropriate mitigation measures are
included in the approved plan; this
course of action was deemed to be the
‘‘environmentally preferred’’ alternative.
The Final EIS identified and analyzed
two additional alternatives, and
corresponding mitigation strategies,
which were responsive to concerns and
issues the public voiced during the
extensive scoping process and Draft EIS
review, and to NPS conservation
planning requirements.
Alternative C is the selected plan.
Identified as the agency-preferred
alternative in the EIS, this updated GMP
broadens the scope of resource
management and interpretation
programs to emphasize the connections
and interrelationships between the
park’s cultural and natural resources.
Historic buildings and structures will
continue to be preserved, with some
additional buildings open to the public
for interpretation. New facilities, trails
and programs will provide
opportunities for visitors to understand

how the park’s natural surroundings
influenced the settlement and historic
events on San Juan Island and help
define the cultural landscapes preserved
within the park. The new plan also
proposes boundary adjustments at both
English Camp and American Camp,
which includes acquisition of land from
the Washington State Department of
Natural Resources (DNR), Bureau of
Land Management (BLM), and one
private parcel under a willing-seller
condition only.

review the Record of Decision may

Abstract: Pursuant to the Boulder
Canyon Project Act (Pub. L. 70–642, 45
Stat. 1057), all diversions of mainstream
Colorado River water must be in
accordance with a Colorado River water
entitlement. The Consolidated Decree of
the United States Supreme Court in
Arizona v. California, 547 U.S. 150
(2006) requires the Secretary of the
Interior to account for all diversions of
mainstream Colorado River water along
the lower Colorado River, including
water drawn from the mainstream by
underground pumping. To meet the
water entitlement and accounting
obligations, an inventory of wells and
river pumps is required along the lower
Colorado River, and the gathering of
specific information concerning these
wells and river pumps.
Description of respondents: The
respondents will include well and riverpump owners and operators along the
lower Colorado River in Arizona,
California, and Nevada. Each well and
river pump owner or operator must be
identified, as well as the location of
their diversion and type of water use
determined.
Frequency: These data are collected
only once for each well or river-pump
owner or operator as long as changes in
water use, or other changes that would
impact contractual or administrative
requirements, are not made. A
respondent may request that the data for
their well or river pump be updated
after the initial inventory.
Estimated completion time: An
average of 20 minutes is required to
interview individual well and riverpump owners or operators. Reclamation
will use the information collected
during these interviews to complete the
information collection form.
Annual responses: 1,500.
Annual burden hours: 500 hours.
Comments:
Reclamation invites your comments
on:
(a) Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of our functions, including
whether the information will have
practical use;
(b) The accuracy of our burden
estimate for the proposed collection of
information;
(c) Ways to enhance the quality,

Small Diameter Graphite Electrodes
From China
Determination
On the basis of the record 1 developed
in the subject investigation, the United
States International Trade Commission
(Commission) determines, pursuant to
section 735(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930
(19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)) (the Act), that an
industry in the United States is
materially injured by reason of imports
from China of small diameter graphite
electrodes, provided for in subheading
8545.11.00 of the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States, that have
been found by the Department of
Commerce (Commerce) to be sold in the
United States at less than fair value
(LTFV).2
Background
The Commission instituted this
investigation effective January 17, 2008,
following receipt of a petition filed with

Carbon LLC, Charlotte, NC, and
Superior Graphite Co., Chicago, IL. The
