AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Forest Service gives
notice of its intent to prepare an
Environmental Impact Statement for the
Johnson Bar Fire Salvage Project. The
Proposed action would utilize ground
based (tractor and skyline) and
helicopter logging systems to harvest
trees killed by the Johnson Bar Fire.
Harvested areas would be replanted
with early seral species such as
ponderosa pine, western white pine and
western larch. Approximately 3 miles of
roads would be decommissioned to
reduce sediment related impacts to the
watershed. The EIS will analyze the
effects of the proposed action and
alternatives. The Nez Perce-Clearwater

suggestions on the issues to be

addressed. The agency gives notice of
the National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) analysis and decision making
process on the proposal so interested
and affected members of the public may
participate and contribute to the final
decision.
DATES: Comments concerning the scope
of the analysis must be received by
November 17, 2014. The draft
environmental impact statement is
expected in March 2015 and the final
environmental impact statement is
expected July 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
objective of the Johnson Bar Fire
Salvage Project would be to recover the
economic value of the timber burned in
the fire and move the area towards
desired species compositions
(ponderosa pine, western white pine
and western larch) through reforestation
as well as improve watershed
conditions.
Purpose: Provide a sustained yield of
resource outputs at a level that will help
support the economic structure of local
communities and provide for regional
and national needs (Nez Perce Forest
Plan, II–1)
Need: There is a need to utilize dead
trees resulting from the fire in a timely
manner to provide social and economic
benefits before they lose commercial
value and merchantability, which
would contribute to the supply of
timber for local, regional, and national
needs.
Purpose: Reduce potential sediment
inputs into the aquatic ecosystem.
Need: Sediment input from gravel and
native surface roads can flow into
streams, negatively affecting fish habitat
and water quality. Improvement of
watershed function and stream
conditions can be accomplished by
reducing road densities and repairing
existing roads and culverts to reduce
sediment and improve drainage.
The Proposed Action would: Salvage
harvest approximately 4,000 acres of
dead trees within the approximate
13,000 acre fire area. Harvesting
operations would primarily utilize
skyline and helicopter logging systems
with a small component of ground
PO 00000

based tractor skidding where
appropriate. Openings are likely to
exceed 40 acres.
Approximately 23 segments of
temporary roads would be built to
provide line machine access from
existing system roads. These spurs
generally average approximately 0.16
miles each and would be removed
following harvest.
Fire killed or ‘‘dead’’ trees for the
purposes of this project are determined
using guidelines that determine
mortality by the amount of scorch and
fire severity surrounding the roots and
lower trunk. Field validation of these
guidelines indicates they are accurate
for the forest types and fire severity in
the project area. All live trees will be
generally retained however incidental
removal may occur to facilitate harvest
operations.
Reforestation would plant long lived
early seral tree species such as
ponderosa pine, western white pine and
western larch. This strategy would
allow us to continue towards the goal of
restoring more resilient tree species
across the landscape. Seventeen to
thirty-three tons per acre of standing
and down large woody debris would be
left across the treatment area to provide
soil microclimate and habitat, long term
nutrients, soil stability, and snag
habitat. For safety reasons, retention
would generally occur in clumps rather
than individual snags distributed across
the units. Retention would generally
favor the largest snags. Approximately 3
miles of unneeded roads may be
decommissioned by placing them in a
hydrologically stable condition. This
may involve a range of road
decommissioning methods from culvert
removal to full recontouring.
As they are developed, additional
information and maps will be posted to
‘‘NEPA Projects’’ page on the Forests
Web site: https://data.ecosystemmanagement.org/nepaweb/project_

Responsible Official and Lead Agency
The USDA Forest Service is the lead
agency for this proposal. The Nez PerceClearwater Forest Supervisor is the
responsible official.
The Decision To Be Made is whether
to adopt the proposed action, in whole
or in part, or another alternative; and
what mitigation measures and
management requirements will be
implemented.
The Scoping Process for the EIS is
being initiated with this notice. The
scoping process will identify issues to
be analyzed in detail and will lead to
the development of alternatives to the
proposal. The Forest Service is seeking

Federal Register notice 2 contained an
inadvertent error related to the order in
which certain antidumping duty
margins were stated; the correct
antidumping duty margins in this
footnote 11 were reversed. The footnote
should read:
This cash deposit rate is based on the
combined sales of Thai Union and
Pakfood after the companies were
collapsed (i.e., sales made during the
period April 23, 2012, through January
31, 2013). The rates calculated for Thai
Union and Pakfood for the period
February 1, 2012, through April 22,
2012, are 2.09 percent and zero percent,
respectively. The calculations for the
period February 1, 2012, through April
22, 2012, will be used for assessment
purposes only, as noted in the
‘‘Collapsing of Thai Union and
Pakfood’’ section of the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum.
As a result, we now correct the final
results of the 2012–2013 administrative
review as noted above.
This correction to the final results of
administrative review is issued and
published in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended.

Background
On January 2, 2014, the Department
published a notice of opportunity to
request an administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on wooden
bedroom furniture from the PRC.3 In
January 2014, the Department received
multiple timely requests to conduct an
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on wooden
bedroom furniture from the PRC. On
February 28, 2014, in accordance with
section 751(a) of Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act), the Department
published in the Federal Register a
notice of the initiation of an
administrative review of that order.4
The administrative review was initiated
with respect to 127 companies, and
covers the period from January 1, 2013,
through December 31, 2013. While a
number of companies remain under
review, the requesting parties have
timely withdrawn all review requests
for certain companies, as discussed
below.
Rescission of Review, in Part
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the
Department will rescind an
administrative review, in whole or in
part, if a party that requested the review
withdraws its request within 90 days of
the date of publication of the notice of
initiation of the requested review. All

Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and
Request for Revocation in Part, 79 FR 11401

Department inadvertently excluded certain
companies for which reviews had been requested
from the list of companies for which it initiated an
administrative review in the Initiation Notice. The
Department listed those companies in a subsequent
initiation notice (see Initiation of Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and
Request for Revocation in Part, 79 FR 18262 (April
1, 2014)).
