WYW147077 and WYW147081
terminated effective November 1, 2018,
for failure to pay rental timely. The
lessees petitioned for reinstatement of
the leases and met all filing
requirements for a Class II
reinstatement. The lessees agreed to the
amended lease terms for rentals of $10
per acre, or fraction thereof, per year
and royalty rates of 16 2⁄3 percent, and
additional lease stipulations. The
lessees have paid the required $500
administrative fee and the $151 cost of
publishing this notice. The lessees meet
the requirements for reinstatement of
the leases per Sec. 31(d) and (e) of the
Mineral Leasing Act of 1920 (30 U.S.C.
188). Reinstatement of these leases
conforms to the terms and conditions of
all applicable land use plans and other
applicable National Environmental
Policy Act documents. The BLM
proposes to reinstate the leases with an
effective date of November 1, 2018,
under the amended terms and
conditions of the leases and the
increased rental and royalty rates cited
above. The leases will be reinstated 30
days after publication of the notice of
proposed reinstatement in the Federal
Register.

Abstract: The National Park Service
(NPS) is authorized by regulations
codified in 36 CFR 7.13(l), Special
Regulations; Areas of the National Park
System; Yellowstone National Park;
Winter Use, to establish a management
framework that allows the public to
experience the unique winter resources
and values at Yellowstone National Park
(YELL). Access to most of the park in
the winter, is limited by distance and
the harsh winter environment, which
presents challenges to safety and park
operations. In response, the NPS
provides opportunities for park visitors
to experience Yellowstone in the winter
via over-snow vehicles (snowmobiles
and snowcoaches, collectively OSVs).
The final rule includes provisions that
allow greater flexibility for commercial
tour operators, provide mechanisms to
make the park cleaner and quieter
during the winter seasons, reward oversnow vehicle innovations and
technologies, and allow increases in
visitation. All over-snow vehicles (OSV)
operating in the park are required to
meet air and sound emission standards
and be accompanied by a guide. As
directed by the regulation, commercial
OSV operators must complete the OSV
Monthly Use Report (Form 10–650) and
maintain certain records regarding:
Emission and Sound Standards
(§ 7.13(l)(4)(vii) and (5)). Only OSVs that
meet NPS emission and sound
standards may operate in the park.
Before the start of each winter season:
(a) Snowcoach manufacturers or
commercial tour operators must
demonstrate, by means acceptable to the
Superintendent, that their snowcoaches
meet the standards.
(b) Snowmobile manufacturers must
demonstrate, by means acceptable to the
Superintendent, that their snowmobiles
meet the standards.
Transportation Events
(§ 7.13(l)(11)(i)–(iii)). To monitor
compliance with the required average
and maximum size of transportation

events, as of December 15, 2014, each
commercial tour operator must:
(a) Maintain accurate and complete
records on the number of snowmobiles
and snowcoaches he or she brings into
the park on a daily basis. These records
must be made available for inspection
by the park upon request.
(b) Provide a monthly use report on
their activities. Form 10–650,
‘‘Concessioner Monthly Use Report’’,
available on the park website, is used to
collect information for transportation
events.
Enhanced Emission Standards
(§ 7.13(l)(11)(iv)). To qualify for the
increased average size of snowmobile
transportation events or increased
maximum size of snowcoach
transportation events, each commercial
tour operator must:
(a) Before the start of each winter
season, demonstrate, by means
acceptable to the Superintendent, that
his or her snowmobiles or snowcoaches
meet the enhanced emission standards;
and
(b) Maintain separate records for
snowmobiles and snowcoaches that
meet enhanced emission standards and
those that do not.
We will use the information collected
to: (1) Ensure that OSVs meet NPS
emission standards to operate in the
park; (2) evaluate commercial tour
operators’ compliance with allocated
transportation events and daily and
seasonal OSV group size limits; (3)
ensure that established daily
transportation event limits for the park
are not exceeded, (4) confirm that
commercial tour operators do not run
out of authorizations before the end of
the season and create a gap when
prospective visitors cannot be
accommodated, and (5) guarantee
compliance with applicable laws and
regulations.

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 retarded by reason of imports
of refillable stainless steel kegs from
China and Germany, provided for in
subheadings 7310.10 and 7310.29 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’’),2
and to be subsidized by the government
of China.3 4 5

and antidumping duty orders on refillable stainless
steel kegs from China.

Background
The Commission instituted these
investigations effective September 20,
2018, following receipt of a petition
filed with the Commission and
Commerce by American Keg Company,
LLC, Pottstown, Pennsylvania. Effective
June 4, 2019, the Commission
established a general schedule for the
conduct of the final phase of the
investigations following notification of
preliminary determinations by
Commerce that imports of refillable
stainless steel kegs were being
subsidized by the government of China 6
within the meaning of section 703(b) of
the Act and that imports of refillable
stainless steel kegs from China,7
Germany,8 and Mexico 9 were being sold
at LTFV within the meaning of 733(b) of
the Act. 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 June
17, 2019 (84 FR 28070). The hearing was
held in Washington, DC, on August 14,
2019, and all persons who requested the
opportunity were permitted to appear in
person or by counsel.
Following notification of final
determinations by Commerce that
imports of refillable stainless steel kegs
were being subsided by the government
of China and that imports of refillable
stainless steel kegs from China and
Germany were being sold in the United
States at LTFV, notice of the
supplemental scheduling of the final
phase of the Commission’s
countervailing and antidumping duty
investigations 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 November 6, 2019 (84 FR
59840).
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 December 9,
2019. The views of the Commission are
contained in USITC Publication 5002
