SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION to read:
The National Forest Management Act
(NFMA) of 1976 requires that every
National Forest System (NFS) unit
develop a land management plan (LMP).
On April 9, 2012, the Forest Service
finalized its land management planning
rule (2012 Planning Rule), which
provides broad programmatic direction
to National Forests and National
Grasslands for developing and
implementing their land management
plans (LMPs). Forest plans describe the
strategic direction for management of
forest resources for ten to fifteen years,
and are adaptive and amendable as
conditions change over time. Under the
2012 Planning Rule, the assessment of
ecological, social, and economic trends
and conditions is the first stage of the
planning process. The second stage is a
development and decision process
guided, in part, by the National
Environment Policy Act (NEPA) and
includes the preparation of Draft
Environmental Impact Statement and
Revised Forest Plan for public review
and comment, and the preparation of
the Final Environmental Impact
Statement and Revised Forest Plan. The
third stage of the process is monitoring
and feedback, which is ongoing over the
life of the revised forest plans.
The Pacific Southwest Region of the
Forest Service, United States
Department of Agriculture, along with
the Sierra, Inyo, and Sequoia National
Forests, is preparing assessments
pursuant to 2012 Forest Planning Rule.
The assessments will rapidly evaluate
existing information about relevant
ecological, economic, and social
conditions, trends, and sustainability
and their relationship to land
management plans within the context of
the broader landscape. The assessments
will identify existing information
relevant to the planning areas and build
common understanding of that
PO 00000
Frm 00004

Sfmt 4703
information prior to initiating formal
plan revision processes. The process to
develop these assessments will be
carried out using an open, collaborative,
and transparent public engagement
process. With this notice, the agency
invites other governments, nongovernmental parties, and the public to
contribute in assessment development.
The intent of public engagement during
development of the assessment is to
identify as much relevant information as
possible to inform the land management
plan development process. We
encourage contributors to share material
about existing conditions, trends, and
perceptions of social, economic, and
ecological systems relevant to the
planning process. Public participation
in the assessment process supports the
development of relationships of key
stakeholders throughout the plan
development process and is a first step
to understanding current conditions,
available data, and feedback needed to
support a strategic, efficient planning
process.
Due to commonality of issues and the
broader landscape to consider, these
assessment processes will begin with a
larger geographic or regional
assessment. This broader area
evaluation will not only provide a
landscape scale context for the revision
of the Inyo, Sequoia, and Sierra National
Forests, it will provide information that
will be used as the agency moves into
the revision process for adjacent forests
in the near future, and provide for a
more comprehensive and efficient
process.
We are committed to collaboration
and to strengthening public engagement
throughout the process. Collaboration
and communication plans are being
developed with the help of stakeholders
at the regional and forest levels. Each
plan is unique to the needs of the
people and communities being served.
Regional and forest specialists have
begun collecting information and
working with stakeholders to describe
existing resource conditions and trends.
If you would like to contribute to the
process or for more information, please
contact Ronald L. Pugh, Deputy
Director, Ecosystem Planning of the
Pacific Southwest Region, 707–562–
8951 or visit intranet site:

projected completion date for the
assessments for the Inyo, Sequoia, and
Sierra National Forests is December 31,
2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On December 26, 2012, the
Department published its affirmative
final determination of sales at less than
fair value in the antidumping duty
investigation of steel wire garment
hangers from Vietnam.1 On January 28,
2013, pursuant to section 735(d) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the
Act’’), the ITC notified the Department
of its final determination that an
industry in the United States is
materially injured within the meaning
of section 735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act by
reason of less-than-fair-value imports of
steel wire garment hangers from
Vietnam.2 In addition, the ITC notified
the Department of its final
determination that critical
circumstances do not exist with respect
to imports of steel wire garment hangers
from Vietnam that are subject to the
Department’s final affirmative critical
circumstances finding. Pursuant to
section 736(a) of the Act, the
Department is publishing an
antidumping duty order on the subject
merchandise.
Scope of the Order
The merchandise subject to this order
is steel wire garment hangers, fabricated
from carbon steel wire, whether or not
galvanized or painted, whether or not
coated with latex or epoxy or similar
gripping materials, and whether or not
fashioned with paper covers or capes
(with or without printing) or nonslip
features such as saddles or tubes. These
products may also be referred to by a
commercial designation, such as shirt,
suit, strut, caped, or latex (industrial)
hangers.
