WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 231 / Thursday, December 2, 2010 / Notices
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Minnkota’s proposed Project is to
construct a 230 kilovolt (kV)
transmission line between the Wilton
Substation near Bemidji, Minnesota and
the Boswell Substation near Grand
Rapids, Minnesota, which will cross
portions of Beltrami, Hubbard, Itasca,
and Cass counties. The Project involves
modifying the Wilton and Boswell
substations, constructing a new 115 kV
breaker station at Nary Junction,
Minnesota, and depending on the route
alternative selected, upgrading the
existing or constructing a new
substation in the Cass Lake, Minnesota
area. The purpose of the Project is for
the Applicants to meet projected future
electric demand and to maintain electric
transmission reliability standards in
accordance with the requirements of the
North American Electric Reliability
Corporation (NERC). The Project as
proposed provides increased voltage
support not only to the Bemidji to
Grand Rapids area, including the Leech
Lake Reservation, but is also required to
improve the regional transmission
reliability throughout the Red River
Valley and north central Minnesota.
Refer to Final EIS, pp. 2–3, and the
Alternative Evaluation Study, Section
1.2, for additional detail.
In accordance with NEPA, the CEQ
regulations for implementing the
procedural provisions of NEPA, and
applicable agency NEPA implementing
regulations, RUS, CNF, USACE, and
LLBO DRM cooperated in the
development of a Final EIS to assess the
potential environmental impacts
associated with the proposed Project.
The decision being documented in
RUS’s ROD is that the Agency agrees to
consider, subject to loan approval,
funding the proposed Project (Route
Alternative 4). Because of the distinct
federal actions being proposed, RUS,
USACE and CNF decided to issue
separate RODs. LLBO DRM’s decision
will be through a Tribal Resolution.
On July 18, 2008, RUS published in
the Federal Register at 73 FR 41312 a
Notice of Intent to prepare an EIS for the
proposed Project. On March 3, 2010,
RUS published its Notice of Availability
(NOA) of the Draft EIS for the proposed
Project in the Federal Register at 75 FR
9573. The U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency acknowledged
receipt of the Draft EIS on March 5,
2010, from RUS. The 45-day comment
period ended on April 19, 2010. All
comments on the Draft EIS have been
entered into the administrative record,
responses are included in the Final EIS,
and the Final EIS was modified as
appropriate. RUS published its NOA of
the Final EIS for the proposed Project in
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:28 Dec 01, 2010
Jkt 223001
the Federal Register on September 15,
2010 at 75 FR 56051. The U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency
acknowledged receipt of the Final EIS
on September 17, 2010, from RUS. The
30-day waiting period ended on October
18, 2010. One comment was received
and is addressed in RUS’s ROD.
After considering various ways to
meet these future needs, Minnkota
identified construction of the proposed
Project (Route Alternative 4) as its best
course of action.
The Final EIS considered 11
alternatives to meet the Project need,
including five alternative route
locations. These alternatives were
evaluated in terms of cost-effectiveness,
technical feasibility, and environmental
factors (e.g., soils, topography and
geology, water resources, air quality,
biological resources, the acoustic
environment, recreation, cultural and
historic resources, visual resources,
transportation, farmland, land use,
human health and safety, the
socioeconomic environment,
environmental justice, and cumulative
effects).
The Final EIS analyzes in detail the
No Action Alternative and Route
Alternatives 1, 2, 3, and 4. See ROD
Section IV.b. ‘‘Alternatives Not Selected
and RUS’ Rational’’ for the rationale for
eliminating the alternatives. The
resources or environmental factors that
could be affected by the proposed
Project were evaluated in detail in the
Final EIS. These issues are summarized
in EIS Table ES–2: ‘‘Comparative
Impacts of Route Alternatives.’’
Based on an evaluation of the
information and impact analyses
presented in the EIS, including the
evaluation of all alternatives, and in
consideration of the Agency’s NEPA
implementing regulations,
Environmental Policies and Procedures,
as amended (7 CFR Part 1794), RUS
finds that the evaluation of reasonable
alternatives is consistent with NEPA.
The Agency has selected the Route
Alternative 4 as its preferred alternative.
Because the proposed Project may
involve action in floodplains or
wetlands, this Notice also serves as a
final notice of action in floodplains and
wetlands (in accordance with Executive
Orders 11988 and 11990). This Notice
concludes RUS’s compliance with
NEPA and the Agency’s ‘‘Environmental
Policies and Procedures.’’
Dated: November 23, 2010.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
The Department of Commerce will
submit to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for clearance the
following proposal for collection of
information under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
chapter 35).
Agency: U.S. Census Bureau.
Title: Annual Capital Expenditures
Survey.
Form Number(s): ACE–1(S), ACE–
1(M), ACE–1(L), ACE–2.
OMB Control Number: 0607–0782.
Type of Request: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Burden Hours: 153,300.
Number of Respondents: 77,250.
Average Hours Per Response: 1.98
hours.
Needs and Uses: A major concern of
economic policymakers is the adequacy
of investment in plant and equipment.
Data on the amount of business
expenditures for new plant and
equipment and measures of the stock of
existing facilities are critical to
evaluating productivity growth, the
ability of U.S. business to compete with
foreign business, changes in industrial
capacity, and overall economic
performance. The ACES survey is the
sole source of detailed comprehensive
statistics on investment in buildings and
other structures, machinery, and
equipment by private nonfarm
businesses in the United States.
This request is for a continuation of
a currently approved collection and will
cover the 2010 through 2012 ACES
(conducted in fiscal years 2011 through
2013). Changes from the previous ACES
authorization are the elimination of
detailed capital expenditures by type of
structure and type of equipment. These
data, collected every five years, were
collected in the 2008 ACES and will not
be collected again until the 2013 ACES.
The ACES is an integral part of the
Federal Government’s effort to improve
the quality and usefulness of National
economic statistics. Federal agencies,
including the Census Bureau, use these
data to improve and supplement
ongoing statistical programs:
The Census Bureau uses the data to
improve the quality of monthly
economic indicators of investment. The
Bureau’s Value of New Construction Put
in Place survey currently uses the ACES
data to benchmark its industrial
buildings data. The Bureau of Economic
Analysis (BEA) uses the data in refining
and evaluating annual estimates of
investment in structures and equipment

in the national income and product
accounts, compiling annual inputoutput tables, and computing gross
domestic product by industry. The
Federal Reserve Board uses the data to
improve estimates of investment
indicators for monetary policy. The
Bureau of Labor Statistics uses the data
to improve estimates of capital stocks
for productivity analysis.
In addition, industry analysts use the
data for market analysis, economic
forecasting, product development, and
business planning.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit, Not-for-profit Institutions.
Frequency: Annually.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
Legal Authority: The Title 13 U.S.C.,
Sections 182, 224, and 225.

Background
The antidumping duty order on
diamond sawblades from the People’s
Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’) was
published in the Federal Register on
November 4, 2009. See Diamond
Sawblades and Parts Thereof From the
People’s Republic of China and the
Republic of Korea: Antidumping Duty
Orders, 74 FR 57145 (November 4, 2009)
(‘‘Antidumping Duty Order’’). On April
30, 2010, pursuant to section
751(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended (‘‘Act’’), the Department of
Commerce (‘‘Department’’) received a
new shipper review request from
Pujiang Talent Diamond Tools Co., Ltd.
(‘‘PTDT’’). PTDT’s request was properly
made on April 30, 2010, as May is the
semi-annual anniversary of the
Antidumping Duty Order. On June 28,
2010, the Department issued a notice of
initiation of a new shipper review of
diamond sawblades and parts thereof
from the PRC covering the period of
January 24, 2009, through April 31,
2010. See Diamond Sawblades and
Parts Thereof from the People’s
Republic of China: Initiation of
Antidumping Duty New Shipper Review,
75 FR 36632 (June 28, 2010). The
preliminary results are currently due no
later than December 14, 2010.
Statutory Time Limits
Section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act
provides that the Department will issue
the preliminary results of a new shipper
review of an antidumping duty order
within 180 days after the day on which
the review was initiated. See also 19
CFR 351.214(i)(1). The Act further
provides that the Department may
extend that 180-day period to 300 days
if it determines that the case is
extraordinarily complicated. See also 19
CFR 351.214(i)(2).
International Trade Administration
Extension of Time Limit of Preliminary
Results
[A–570–900]
The Department determines that this
new shipper review involves
extraordinarily complicated
methodological issues such as the
examination of importer information
and the evaluation of the bona fide
nature of PTDT’s sales. In addition, the
Department needs additional time to
evaluate the affiliations amongst PTDT
and other entities. Therefore, in
accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv)
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(i)(2), the
Department is extending the time limit
for these preliminary results by 120
days, until no later than April 13, 2011.
The final results continue to be due 90
days after the publication of the
preliminary results.
