alternatives and any other action
alternatives identified that may be
reasonable and practicable: (1) Creation
of a multi-purpose reservoir; (2) a
combination of independent purpose
alternatives to meet the overall project
purposes and needs; and (3) the noaction alternative. The SEIS will
identify the National Economic
Development (NED) alternative, which
is the alternative with the greatest net
economic benefit consistent with
protecting the Nation’s environment and
document the estimated direct, indirect
and cumulative impacts of the proposed
action and alternatives on the
environment.
4. Scoping: In developing the LOCWP,
numerous scoping meetings were held
to gather public input and keep the
community informed on the status of
project planning activities. Several
community surveys and interviews were
conducted to gather information, and
periodic news articles were published to
update local citizens. The Caldwell
County Lake Project Steering Committee
was formed to further insure public
input into the planning process. NEPA
procedures do not require additional
public scoping meetings for the
development of a SEIS and none are
planned at this time. Comments
received from Federal, State or local
agencies, Native American Tribes, nongovernmental organizations, and
interested citizens will be used to assist
in the development of the Draft and
Final SEIS (See ADDRESSES: above to
submit comments).
5. Public Involvement: The NRCS
invites full public participation to
promote open communication and
better decision-making. All persons and
organizations with an interest in the
LOCWP are urged to comment. Public
comments are welcomed and
opportunities for public participation
include submitting comments to the
NRCS: (1) During the development of
the Draft SEIS, (2) during the review and
comment period upon publishing the
Draft SEIS; and (3) for 30 days after
publication of the Final SEIS.
Distribution of the comments received
will be included in the Administrative
Record without change and may include
any personal information provided,
unless the commenter indicates that the
comment includes information claimed
to be confidential business information.
6. Other Environmental Review and
Coordination Requirements: The Corps
will be a cooperating agency in the
preparation of the SEIS. The NRCS as
the lead federal agency will continue to
coordinate with other agencies and
entities throughout the NEPA process
including: Caldwell County

Commission, Missouri Department of
Natural Resources, Missouri Department
of Conservation, U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service, and USEPA. The Draft SEIS
will address project compliance with
applicable laws and regulations,
including NEPA, CWA, Endangered
Species Act, and the National Historic
Preservation Act.
7. Permits or Licenses Required: The
proposed federal action would require a
CWA Section 404 permit from the
Corps. The project would also require
certification by the State of Missouri,
Department of Natural Resources, under
Section 401 of the CWA, that the project
would not violate state water quality
standards. A land disturbance permit
issued by the Missouri Department of
Natural Resources under Section 402 of
the CWA (National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System Permit) would be
required. Construction and Safety
Permits issued by the Missouri Dam and
Reservoir Safety Program would also be
required.
8. Availability of Draft SEIS: The draft
SEIS is estimated to be complete and
available for public review in 2014.
(This activity is listed in the Catalog of
Federal Domestic Assistance under No.
10.904, Watershed Protection and Flood
Prevention, and is subject to the provisions
of Executive Order 12372, which requires
intergovernmental consultation with State
and local officials.)

multiple timely requests for an

AGENCY:
Background
In April 2013, the Department
received multiple timely requests to
conduct an administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on certain
activated carbon from the PRC (‘‘the
Order’’).1 Based upon these requests, on
1 See Notice of Antidumping Duty Order: Certain
Activated Carbon From the People’s Republic of
China, 72 FR 20988 (April 27, 2007) (‘‘Order’’).
VerDate Mar<15>2010
18:12 Dec 20, 2013
Jkt 232001
June 3, 2013, the Department published
a notice of initiation of an
administrative review of the Order
covering the period April 1, 2012, to
March 31, 2013.2 The Department
initiated the administrative review with
respect to 185 companies.3 On August
28, 2013, Petitioners withdrew their
request for an administrative review on
Shanxi Industry Technology Trading
Co., Ltd., (‘‘Shanxi ITT’’), Shanxi
Xuanzhong Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.
(‘‘Xuanzhong’’), Tianjin Maijin
Industries Co., Ltd. (‘‘Tianjin’’) and
Xi’an Shuntong International Trade &
Industrials Co., Ltd. (‘‘Xi’an’’).4
Petitioners were the only party to
request a review of these companies.
Petitioners also withdrew their review
requests for an additional 165
companies, and no other party
requested a review of those companies.
However, those companies do not have
a separate rate from a prior segment of
this proceeding and are part of the PRCwide entity which could come under
review in this segment of the
proceeding. We intend to address the
disposition of these companies in the
preliminary results of this review.5
Partial Rescission
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the
Secretary will rescind an administrative
review, in whole or in part, if a party
who requested the review withdraws
the request within 90 days of the date
of publication of notice of initiation of
the requested review. Petitioners’
requests for review of Shanxi ITT,
Xuanzhong, Tianjin and Xi’an were
withdrawn within the 90-day period.
Because Petitioners’ requests for review
were timely withdrawn and because no
other party requested a review of Shanxi
ITT, Xuanzhong, Tianjin and Xi’an, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1),
we are partially rescinding this review
with respect to Shanxi ITT, Xuanzhong,
Tianjin and Xi’an.

Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and
Requests for Revocation in Part, 78 FR 33052, 33054

4 See Letter to the Department from Petitioners,
Re: Certain Activated Carbon From the People’s
Republic of China: Petitioners’ Withdrawal of
Certain Requests for Administrative Review, dated
August 28, 2013. Petitioners also withdrew their
request for review of Calgon Carbon (Tianjin) Co.,
Ltd. (‘‘Calgon’’). However, Albemarle Corporation
also requested an administrative review of Calgon
in the current segment. See Letter from Albemarle
Corporation, dated April 30, 2013.

Assessment Rates
The Department will instruct U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’)
to assess antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries.6 Because Shanxi
ITT, Xuanzhong, Tianjin and Xi’an have
a separate rate from a prior segment of
this proceeding, antidumping duties
shall be assessed at rates equal to the
cash deposit of estimated antidumping
duties required at the time of entry, or
withdrawal from warehouse, for
consumption, in accordance with 19
CFR 351.212(c)(2). The Department
intends to issue appropriate assessment
instructions directly to CBP 15 days
after publication of this notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a final reminder
to importers for whom this review is
being rescinded, as of the publication
date of this notice, 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 the antidumping
duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping
duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative
Protective Orders
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective orders (‘‘APO’’) of their
responsibility concerning the return or
destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305, which continues
to govern business proprietary
information in this segment of the
proceeding. Timely written notification
of the return or destruction of APO
materials or conversion to judicial
protective order is hereby requested.
Failure to comply with the regulations
and terms of an APO is a violation
which is subject to sanction.
This notice is issued and published in
accordance with section 777(i)(1) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and
19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
Dated: December 17, 2013.
