Notice of intent to prepare an
environmental impact statement.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Six Rivers National
Forest proposes to make limited changes
to the National Forest Transportation
System (NFTS) on the Gasquet Ranger
District in order to: provide motorized
access to dispersed recreation
opportunities; provide a diversity of
motorized recreation opportunities; to
provide for administrative needs, and;
to reduce ecological and cultural
resource risk and maintenance costs. In
addition, inventoried unauthorized
routes (UAR) that pose a risk to
ecological resources will be restored to
reduce risk to resources.
This project responds to the Travel
Management Rule, Subpart B (36 CFR
212.52), which requires the public be
allowed to participate in the revision of
designations, and 36 CFR 212.54, which
requires the Forest to coordinate with
other government organizations in the
revision of designation of the NFTS.
Changes to the NFTS resulting from this
project will be reflected in an updated
Motor Vehicle Use Map.
DATES: Comments must be received on
or before June 4, 2012. The draft
environmental impact statement is
expected in October 2012 and the final
environmental impact statement is
expected in March 2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Purpose and Need for Action
The purpose of the project is to make
limited changes to the NFTS that
enhance motorized recreation
opportunities, dispersed recreation
opportunities, and administrative
access, while minimizing ecological and
cultural resource risk. In addition, this
project restores terrestrial and aquatic
habitats impacted by unauthorized
routes.
Proposed Action
The Six Rivers National Forest
proposes to make limited changes to the
National Forest Transportation System
(NFTS) in order to: provide motorized
access to dispersed recreation
opportunities (camping, hunting,
fishing, hiking, horseback riding, etc.);
provide a diversity of motorized
recreation opportunities; to provide for
administrative needs, and; to reduce
ecological and cultural resource risk and
maintenance costs. In addition,
inventoried unauthorized routes (UAR)
that pose a risk to ecological resources
will be restored to reduce risk to
resources.
The Six Rivers National Forest (SRNF)
proposes the following actions: 1)The
addition of 28 unauthorized routes as
roads, totaling 16 miles, to the current
National Forest Transportation System
(NFTS); 2) The addition of 45
unauthorized routes as motorized trails
to the NFTS, totaling 44 miles; 3) The
seasonal gate closure on 2 roads and 5
motorized trails, totaling 13 miles; 4)
The mixed-use of 1 road (17N49),
totaling 4 miles; 5) The
decommissioning of 118 NFTS roads,
totaling 57 miles, and; 6) The restoration
of 173 UARs totaling 80 miles.
The project encompasses the Smith
River NRA and Gasquet Ranger District,
PO 00000

exclusive of lands within
congressionally designated Wilderness
Areas, and is referred to collectively as
the Smith River NRA. This decision will
result in an update to the Motor Vehicle
Use Map.
State, County, and Smith River NRA
OML 3, 4, and 5 roads are all main
access roads on the NRA that
accommodate passenger cars, and are
not being considered in this analysis,
with the exception of 17N49 which is an
OML 3 road that is being proposed for
mixed-use. Also not considered in this
analysis are roads that were closed
under previous NEPA decisions. No
new construction would occur under
this proposal, meaning lands previously
undisturbed will not be considered for
additions to the NFTS as roads or
motorized trails.
Responsible Official
The Forest Supervisor of the Six
Rivers National Forest is the
Responsible Official.
Nature of Decision To Be Made
The Responsible Official will decide
whether to adopt and implement the
proposed action, an alternative to the
proposed action, or take no action.
Preliminary Issues
There are five areas of concern that
have been identified through a previous
public scoping effort. The public has
expressed concern in how the project
will affect motorized recreation,
dispersed recreation, and economic
values associated with travel
management. Designation of
unauthorized routes in Inventoried
Roadless Areas (IRA) has also been
identified as an issue of public interest
on this project. There is public concern
over how the project will affect the
spread of Port Orford-cedar root disease.
There is public concern over the
potential health risks regarding the
designation of new roads and motorized
trails that overlay lands that may
contain Naturally Occuring Asbestos.
There is public concern regarding the
projects potential effects on Federally
listed endangered plant species and
Forest Service Sensitive plant species.
Permits or Licenses Required
Prior to implementation of the
decision, the Forest will require a
waiver from the North Coast Regional
Water Quality Control Board. The
E:\FR\FM\20APN1.SGM
20APN1
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 77 / Friday, April 20, 2012 / Notices
California Highway Patrol must approve
all mixed-use designations.
Scoping Process
This notice of intent initiates the
scoping process, which guides the
development of the environmental
impact statement. A public meeting will
be held in Crescent City on May 9, 2012
to discuss the proposed action, and
answer any questions the public may
have regarding the project. It is
important that reviewers provide their
comments at such times and in such
manner that they are useful to the
agency’s preparation of the
environmental impact statement.
Therefore, comments should be
provided prior to the close of the
comment period and should clearly
articulate the reviewer’s concerns and
contentions. Comments received in
response to this solicitation, including
names and addresses of those who
comment, will be part of the public
record for this proposed action.

SUMMARY: On February 1, 2011, the
Department of Commerce (the
Department) initiated a sunset review of
the antidumping duty order on certain
orange juice (OJ) from Brazil.1 On April
13, 2012, the International Trade
Commission (ITC) determined that
revocation of this order would not be
likely to lead to continuation or
recurrence of material injury to an
industry in the United States within a
reasonably foreseeable time, pursuant to
section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended (the Act).2 Therefore,
pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of the Act
and 19 CFR 351.222(i)(1)(iii), the
Department is revoking the antidumping
duty order on OJ from Brazil.
DATES: Effective Date: March 9, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Scope of the Order
The scope of the order includes
certain orange juice for transport and/or
further manufacturing, produced in two
different forms: (1) Frozen orange juice
in a highly concentrated form,
sometimes referred to as frozen
concentrated orange juice for
manufacture (FCOJM); and (2)
pasteurized single-strength orange juice
which has not been concentrated,
referred to as not-from-concentrate
(NFC). At the time of the filing of the
petition, there was an existing
antidumping duty order on frozen
concentrated orange juice (FCOJ) from
Brazil.3 Therefore, the scope of the order
with regard to FCOJM covers only
FCOJM produced and/or exported by
those companies which were excluded
or revoked from the pre-existing
antidumping order on FCOJ from Brazil
as of December 27, 2004. Those
companies are Cargill Citrus Limitada,
Coinbra Frutesp S.A.,4 Fischer S.A.
Comercio, Industria, and Agricultura,
Montecitrus Trading S.A., and
Sucocitrico Cutrale, S.A.
Excluded from the scope of the order
are reconstituted orange juice and
frozen concentrated orange juice for
retail (FCOJR). Reconstituted orange
juice is produced through further
manufacture of FCOJM, by adding
water, oils and essences to the orange
juice concentrate. FCOJR is
concentrated orange juice, typically at
42 Brix, in a frozen state, packed in
retail-sized containers ready for sale to
consumers. FCOJR, a finished consumer
product, is produced through further
manufacture of FCOJM, a bulk
manufacturer’s product.
The subject merchandise is currently
classifiable under subheadings
2009.11.00, 2009.12.25, 2009.12.45, and
2009.19.00 of the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS).

Rather, the written description of the
scope of the order is dispositive.
Background
On March 9, 2006, the Department
published in the Federal Register an
antidumping duty order on OJ from
Brazil.5
On February 1, 2011, the Department
initiated, and the ITC instituted, a
sunset review of the antidumping duty
order on OJ from Brazil. See Initiation
Notice. As a result of its sunset review
of this order, the Department found that
revocation of the antidumping duty
order would be likely to lead to the
continuation or recurrence of dumping.6
The Department notified the ITC of the
magnitude of the margins likely to
prevail were the antidumping duty
order to be revoked.
On April 13, 2012, the ITC
determined, pursuant to section 751(c)
of the Act, that revocation of this order
would not be likely to lead to
continuation or recurrence of material
injury to an industry in the United
States within a reasonably foreseeable
time.7
Revocation
As a result of the determination by the
ITC that revocation of this order is not
likely to lead to the continuation or
recurrence of material injury to an
industry in the United States, the
Department, pursuant to section 751(d)
of the Act, is revoking the antidumping
duty order on OJ from Brazil. Pursuant
to section 751(d)(2) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.222(i)(2)(i), the effective date of
revocation is March 9, 2011 (i.e., the
fifth anniversary of the date of
publication in the Federal Register of
the antidumping duty order). The
Department will notify U.S. Customs
and Border Protection to discontinue
suspension of liquidation and collection
of cash deposits on entries of the subject
merchandise entered or withdrawn from
warehouse on or after March 9, 2011,
the effective date of revocation of the
antidumping duty order. The
Department will complete any pending
administrative reviews of this order.
This revocation and notice are issued
in accordance with section 751(d)(2) of
the Act and published pursuant to
section 777(i)(1) of the Act.
