Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a preliminary
reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR
351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of
antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this
review period. Failure to comply with
this requirement could result in the
Secretary’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of double antidumping duties.
This new shipper review is issued
and published in accordance with
sections 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) and 777(i)(1) of
the Act, as well as 19 CFR 351.214(i).

Intent To Prepare a Second
Supplemental Environmental Impact
Statement to the Final EIS on Herbert
Hoover Dike Major Rehabilitation and
Evaluation Report, Reaches 2 and 3

Counties, FL

AGENCY: Department of the Army, U.S.

ACTION: Notice of intent.
SUMMARY: Herbert Hoover Dike is the
levee and water control system that
provides flood protection to
communities surrounding Lake
Okeechobee. The purpose of this project
is to evaluate rehabilitation solutions for
Reaches 2 and 3 of the dike so that the
authorized level of flood protection can
be provided to reduce the risk of a
catastrophic failure or breach of the
embankment. Reaches 2 and 3 of the
HHD extend for approximately 27 miles
between an area west of Belle Glade,
Palm Beach County to east of Moore
Haven, Glades County, FL. On July 8
2005, the Jacksonville District, U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) issued
a Final Supplemental Environmental
Impact Statement (FSEIS) for the Major
Rehabilitation actions proposed for
Herbert Hoover Dike (HHD), Reach 1.
On September 23, 2005, a Record of
Decision was signed adopting the
preferred alternative as the Selected
Plan for Reach 1.
VerDate Nov<24>2008

Jkt 217001
The preferred plan described in the
draft SEIS for the MRR Reaches 2 and
3 was based on the Reach 1 preferred
plan. However, as designs were
optimized during development of the
plans and specifications for Reach 1, it
became apparent that a cutoff wall in
combination with a seepage berm would
not work for all of Herbert Hoover Dike.
The alternative for Reaches 2 and 3 will
be a combination of a cutoff wall with
a seepage berm and a relief feature such
as a Relief Trench, Soil Replacement
Wedge, Relief Wells, Drainage Feature,
or Sand Columns. The specific features
selected and dimension of the features
will be site specific, dependent on the
local geology and site conditions along
Reaches 2 and 3. This study is a
cooperative effort between the Corps
and the South Florida Water
Management District (SFWMD).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms.
Angela Dunn at (904) 232–2108 or

Angela.E.Dunn@usace.army.mil.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
a. The proposed action will be the
selected plan described in the July 2005
Supplemental Environmental Impact
Statement (SEIS) with the additional
actions of: Extending construction along
Reaches 2 and 3 of the levee and
implementing the landside
rehabilitation features as needed based
on geology and adjacent land factors.
The proposed action will not affect the
Regulation Schedule for Lake
Okeechobee. Land may have to be
acquired outside of the existing right-ofway (ROW) and this SEIS will account
for any impacts that result due to
acquisition of additional real estate.
b. The preferred plan design will be
optimized according to the local geology
and site conditions along Reaches 2 and
3. The features that may be part of the
preferred plan include: Cutoff Wall,
Seepage Berm, Relief Trench, Soil
Replacement Wedge, Relief Wells, Sand
Column and Drainage Feature.
c. A scoping letter will be used to
invite comments on alternatives and
issues from Federal, State, and local
agencies, affected Indian tribes, and
other interested private organizations
and individuals. A Scoping Letter
describing the proposed project and
soliciting comments was sent to
government agencies, non-governmental
agencies, Indian Tribes and the
interested public on August 10, 2006. A
scoping meeting is not anticipated.

e. A Major Rehabilitation Evaluation
Report (MRR) was approved by
Congress in the Water Resources
Development Act (WRDA) 2000 that
addressed the need to repair the aging
dike.
f. Draft SEIS Preparation: The 2nd
DSEIS is expected to be available for
public review in the first quarter of CY
2010.
