The Bureau of Reclamation
and the City of San Diego have
completed a final Environmental Impact
Report/Environmental Impact Statement
for the North City Project, the first phase
of the Pure Water San Diego Program—
a water and wastewater facilities plan to
produce potable water from recycled
water. The Bureau of Reclamation is
recommending the Miramar Alternative
as the preferred alternative for approval.
DATES: The Bureau of Reclamation will
not make a decision on the proposed
project until at least 30 days after the
Notice of Availability is published by
the Environmental Protection Agency.

Protection Specialist, Bureau of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Miramar Alternative will expand the
existing North City Water Reclamation
Plant and construct an adjacent North
City Pure Water Facility with a purified
water pipeline to Miramar Reservoir. A
project alternative would install a longer
pipeline to deliver product water to the
larger San Vicente Reservoir instead.
Other project components include: A
new pump station and forcemain to
deliver additional wastewater to the
North City Water Reclamation Plant, a
brine discharge pipeline, upgrades to
the existing Metropolitan Biosolids
Center, and a renewable energy facility
with a landfill gas pipeline crossing
Marine Corps Air Station Miramar and
the Miramar National Cemetery.

COMMISSION
[Investigation Nos. 701–TA–601 and 731–

Laminated Woven Sacks from Vietnam
Determinations
On the basis of the record 1 developed
in the subject investigations, the United
States International Trade Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) determines, pursuant
to the Tariff Act of 1930 (‘‘the Act’’),
that there is a reasonable indication that
an industry in the United States is
materially injured by reason of imports
of laminated woven sacks from Vietnam
that are alleged to be sold in the United
States at less than fair value (‘‘LTFV’’)
and to be subsidized by the government
of Vietnam.2
Commencement of Final Phase
Investigations
Pursuant to section 207.18 of the
Commission’s rules, the Commission
also gives notice of the commencement
of the final phase of its investigations.
The Commission will issue a final phase
notice of scheduling, which will be
published in the Federal Register as
provided in section 207.21 of the
Commission’s rules, upon notice from
the U.S. Department of Commerce

(‘‘Commerce’’) of affirmative
preliminary determinations in the
investigations under sections 703(b) or
733(b) of the Act, or, if the preliminary
determinations are negative, upon
notice of affirmative final
determinations in those investigations
under sections 705(a) or 735(a) of the
Act. Parties that filed entries of
appearance in the preliminary phase of
the investigations need not enter a
separate appearance for the final phase
of the investigations. Industrial users,
and, if the merchandise under
investigation is sold at the retail level,
representative consumer organizations
have the right to appear as parties in
Commission antidumping and
countervailing duty investigations. The
Secretary will prepare a public service
list containing the names and addresses
of all persons, or their representatives,
who are parties to the investigations.
Background
On March 7, 2018, the Laminated
Woven Sacks Fair Trade Coalition,
which is comprised of Polytex Fibers
Corporation (Houston, Texas) and
ProAmpac, LLC (Cincinnati, Ohio), filed
a petition with the Commission and
Commerce, alleging that an industry in
the United States is materially injured
or threatened with material injury by
reason of LTFV and subsidized imports
of laminated woven sacks from
Vietnam. Accordingly, effective March
7, 2018, the Commission, pursuant to
sections 703(a) and 733(a) of the Act (19
U.S.C. 1671b(a) and 1673b(a)), instituted
countervailing duty investigation No.
701–TA–601 and antidumping duty
investigation No. 731–TA–1411
(Preliminary).
Notice of the institution of the
Commission’s investigations and of a
public conference to be held in
connection therewith was given by
posting copies of the notice in the Office
of the Secretary, U.S. International
Trade Commission, Washington, DC,
and by publishing the notice in the
Federal Register of March 13, 2018 (83
FR 10875). The conference was held in
Washington, DC, on March 28, 2018,
and all persons who requested the
opportunity were permitted to appear in
person or by counsel.
The Commission made these
determinations pursuant to sections
703(a) and 733(a) of the Act (19 U.S.C.
1671b(a) and 1673b(a)). It completed
and filed its determinations in these
investigations on April 23, 2018. The
views of the Commission are contained
in USITC Publication 4779 (April 2018),
entitled Laminated Woven Sacks from
Vietnam: Investigation Nos. 701–TA–
601 and 731–TA–1411 (Preliminary).
