the Clean Air Act. Alternative C applies
an air resource multiple-use screen that
encompasses greenhouse-gas emission
criteria limited to coal development tied
to existing mining areas. Based on these
factors, Alternative B area contains
approximately 990,815 acres available
for further consideration for leasing of
BLM-administered coal; and Alternative
C area contains approximately 144,877
acres available for further consideration
for leasing of BLM-administered coal.
The BLM revised the reasonableforeseeable development scenario used
in the 2015 Miles City RMP using
current coal production from existing
mines to forecast development over the
20-year planning period. The revised
scenario was applied to all alternatives.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Lewistown Draft RMP/Draft EIS covers
approximately 651,200 acres of BLMmanaged public lands and 1,196,800
acres of Federal mineral estate in central
Montana in Cascade, Fergus, Judith
Basin, Meagher, Petroleum, Pondera,
Teton, Chouteau, and Lewis and Clark
counties. These lands and minerals are
managed by two BLM offices located in
Lewistown and Butte, Montana. The
RMP will fulfill the needs and
obligations set forth by NEPA, FLPMA,
and BLM management policies. The
RMP will reflect the changing needs of
the planning area over the next several
decades, and will replace the current
Headwaters and Judith RMPs, as
amended, that were developed in 1984
and 1994, respectively.
The planning effort is needed to
identify goals, objectives, and
management actions for the BLMmanaged public lands. The BLM used
public scoping comments to help

identify planning issues that directed
the formulation of alternatives and
framed the scope of analysis in the Draft
RMP/Draft EIS. Resource issues
identified included air quality, soil and
water resources, vegetation, geology,
cave and karst features, fish and
wildlife, special status species, wildland
fire management, cultural and
paleontological resources, wilderness
characteristics, and visual resource
values. The plan also considers resource
uses including livestock grazing;
delineation of lands open, closed, or
subject to special stipulations or
mitigation measures for minerals and
energy development; forest, woodland,
and special forest products; recreation,
visitor services, access, and travel
management designations; and lands
and realty actions including rights-ofway (ROWs), withdrawals, and land
tenure adjustments. Special
designations, social and economic
conditions, tribal interests, and public
safety are also addressed.
The Draft RMP/Draft EIS evaluates
four alternatives in detail.
Alternative A is the No Action
Alternative, which is a continuation of
current management direction in the
existing Judith and Headwaters RMPs.
Alternative B emphasizes managing
habitats for priority plant, wildlife, and
fish species while providing modest
development of resource uses.
Alternative B also emphasizes hunting,
fishing, and other recreation through
Backcountry Conservation Areas and
management of lands with wilderness
characteristics.
Alternative C is the agency preferred
alternative. Alternative C emphasizes
resource uses on BLM-administered
lands and mineral estate targeting social
and economic outcomes while
protecting land health. Alternative C
employs less special management
designations for resource use objectives.
Alternative D emphasizes resource
uses and a variety of management
prescriptions (e.g., recreation
management areas, Areas of Critical
Environmental Concern (ACECs), Visual
Resource Management) to address the
use and conservation of natural and
cultural resources, while sustaining and
enhancing forest and range health across
the landscape.
Pursuant to 43 CFR 1610.7–2(b), this
notice announces a concurrent public
comment period for potential ACECs.
The proposed ACECs include:
• Acid Shale-Pine Forest: (2,700
acres) Alternatives A, B, and D;
• Blacktail Creek: (1,200 acres)
Alternative B;
• Blind Horse: (4,900 acres)
Alternatives B and D;

• Square Butte: (1,900 acres)
Alternative A; (2,700 acres) Alternatives

• Sun River: (4,900 acres)
Alternatives B and D.
The ACECs are proposed to protect
biological, botanical, cultural,
paleontological, geologic, and scenic
values. If formally designated, the
following management prescriptions
could apply to potential ACECs,
depending on proposed management
prescriptions for each proposed ACEC:
Avoid or exclude ROWs; close to, or
constraints on, fluid leasable mineral
development; close to non-energy solid
leasable mineral leasing; close to
mineral materials disposal; recommend
withdrawal of locatable mineral
development; close to saleable mineral
development; manage for higher visual
resource values; close or limit motorized
and/or off-highway vehicle travel to
designated routes; close to commercial
timber harvest; close to casual collection
of invertebrate and plant fossils; and
pursue legal access through acquisition.

number, email address, or other
personal identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that
your entire comment—including your
personal identifying information—may

Steel Wheels From China
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 an industry in the United States is
materially injured by reason of imports
of steel wheels from China, provided for
in subheadings 8708.70.45, 8708.70.60,
and 8716.90.50 of the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States, that have
been found by the U.S. Department of
Commerce (‘‘Commerce’’) to be sold in
the United States at less than fair value
(‘‘LTFV’’), and to be subsidized by the
government of China.2 3
Background
The Commission, pursuant to sections
705(b) and 735(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C.
1671d(b) and 19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)),
instituted these investigations effective
March 27, 2018, following receipt of a
petition filed with the Commission and
Commerce by Accuride Corporation,
Evansville, Indiana, and Maxion Wheels
Akron LLC, Akron, Ohio. The final
phase of the investigations was
scheduled by the Commission following
notification of preliminary
determinations by Commerce that
imports of steel wheels from China were
subsidized within the meaning of
section 703(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C.
1671b(b)) and sold at LTFV within the
meaning of 733(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C.
1673b(b)). Notice of the scheduling of
the final phase of the Commission’s
investigations and of a public hearing 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 on
November 30, 2018 (83 FR 61672). The
schedule was revised in a subsequent
notice published in the Federal Register
on February 12, 2019 (84 FR 3485). The
hearing was held in Washington, DC, on
March 14, 2019, and all persons who
requested the opportunity were
permitted to appear in person or by
counsel.
The Commission made these
determinations pursuant to sections
705(b) and 735(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C.
1671d(b) and 19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)). It
completed and filed its determinations
in these investigations on May 13, 2019.
The views of the Commission are
contained in USITC Publication 4892
(May 2019), entitled Steel Wheels from
China: Investigation Nos. 701–TA–602
and 731–TA–1412 (Final).
By order of the Commission.
Issued: May 13, 2019.

Acting Secretary to the Commission.

BILLING CODE 7020–02–P
1 The record is defined in sec. 207.2(f) of the
Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure (19
CFR 207.2(f)).
2 The Commission also finds that imports subject
to Commerce’s affirmative critical circumstances
determinations are not likely to undermine
seriously the remedial effect of the countervailing
and antidumping duty orders on steel wheels from
China.

Meredith M. Broadbent dissenting.
