Our information shows some of the more notable gaps between the existing and desired future conditions by management area. Of primary importance is the need for change in: (1) Loss of natural regimes (2) wildlife habitat (3) stream improvement (4) species age structure (5) species composition and (6) stocking densities. The dominant habitat in the Lakewood Southeast Project area is upland conifer forests mixed with other forest communities.

Proposed Action Projected project implementation would be spring of 2012. Lakewood Southeast Project is located on National Forest System lands, administered by the Lakewood-Laona Ranger District, east of Mountain, WI. The legal description of the project is Township 31–32 North, Range 17 East. The Forest Service proposes to reintroduce natural regimes in the Northern dry forests and Pine Barrens (mainly fire), improve wildlife habitat (manage openings, improve habitat for Regional Forester Sensitive Species) and stream corridors (adding long lived species), and use timber harvest (selection, clearcut, shelterwood, and thinning) to move toward desired conditions in the forest plan.

The ASF is an option for grantees for the PO 00000 Frm 00008 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 establishment or reorganization of general-purpose zones and can permit significantly greater flexibility in the designation of new ‘‘usage-driven’’ FTZ sites for operators/users located within a grantee’s ‘‘service area’’ in the context of the Board’s standard 2,000-acre activation limit for a general-purpose zone project. The application was submitted pursuant to the Foreign-Trade Zones Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81– 81u), and the regulations of the Board (15 CFR part 400). It was formally filed on March 31, 2011. FTZ 205 was approved by the Board on October 28, 1994 (Board Order 714, 59 FR 55420, 11/07/1994) and expanded on April 28, 1998 (Board Order 978, 63 FR 25819, 05/11/1998). The current zone project includes the following sites: Site 1 (771 acres)—Port Hueneme commercial terminal complex (including the adjacent commercial area within the U.S. Naval Construction Battalion Center designated for FTZ use), 333 Ponoma Street; Port Hueneme; Site 2 (79 acres)—three parcels within the South Oxnard Industrial Park, 5650 Arcturus Avenue and 5601 Edison Road, Oxnard; Site 3 (22 acres)—908 East 3rd Street, Oxnard; and, Site 4 (10 acres)—5851 Arcturus Avenue, Oxnard. The grantee’s proposed service area under the ASF would be Ventura County, California, as described in the application. If approved, the grantee would be able to serve sites throughout the service area based on companies’ needs for FTZ designation. The proposed service area is within and adjacent to the Port Hueneme Customs and Border Protection port of entry. The applicant is requesting authority to reorganize its existing zone project to include all of the existing sites as ‘‘magnet’’ sites. No usage-driven sites are being requested at this time. Because the ASF only pertains to establishing or reorganizing a general-purpose zone, the application would have no impact on FTZ 205’s authorized subzone. In accordance with the Board’s regulations, Christopher Kemp of the FTZ Staff is designated examiner to evaluate and analyze the facts and information presented in the application and case record and to report findings and recommendations to the Board. Public comment is invited from interested parties. Submissions (original and 3 copies) shall be addressed to the Board’s Executive Secretary at the address below. The closing period for their receipt is June 6, 2011. Rebuttal comments in response to material submitted during the foregoing period may be submitted during the subsequent 15-day period to June 21, 2011. E:\FR\FM\07APN1.SGM 07APN1

Purpose and Need for Action

    The current conditions of many forest stands in the project area 
vary from desired conditions in the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest 
2004 Land and Resource Management Plan (forest plan). Our information 
shows some of the more notable gaps between the existing and desired 
future conditions by management area. Of primary importance is the need 
for change in: (1) Loss of natural regimes (2) wildlife habitat (3) 
stream improvement (4) species age structure (5) species composition 
and (6) stocking densities. The dominant habitat in the Lakewood 
Southeast Project area is upland conifer forests mixed with other 
forest communities.
    Preliminary analysis of the project area indicates that there are 
certain conditions that warrant action to accomplish the direction and 
desired conditions identified in the forest plan.

Proposed Action

    Projected project implementation would be spring of 2012. Lakewood 
Southeast Project is located on National Forest System lands, 
administered by the Lakewood-Laona Ranger District, east of Mountain, 
WI. The legal description of the project is Township 31-32 North, Range 
17 East. The Forest Service proposes to reintroduce natural regimes in 
the Northern dry forests and Pine Barrens (mainly fire), improve 
wildlife habitat (manage openings, improve habitat for Regional 
Forester Sensitive Species) and stream corridors (adding long lived 
species), and use timber harvest (selection, clearcut, shelterwood, and 
thinning) to move toward desired conditions in the forest plan.

Responsible Official

    The responsible official for this project is Lakewood-Laona 
District Ranger, Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest.

or not to implement the proposed action, no action, another action 
alternative, or parts of alternatives that respond to the project's 
purpose and need. This decision would be documented in a record of
