Notice of Public Meeting of the Connecticut Advisory Committee, 43206-43207 [2020-15060]

Download as PDF 43206 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 137 / Thursday, July 16, 2020 / Notices but will be incorporated into the variable density thinning treatments to establish the desired gaps. Salvage of fire-killed trees would be authorized for abating hazard trees along high use roads (level 3,4, 5 and some level 2), and up to 500 acres per two HUC–6 watersheds, and a maximum of 1,000 acres per single fire event. Additional treatments are proposed for approximately 10,800 acres within the project area to create a network of strategic fire management features (linear fuelbreaks, prepared roadsides, and defensible space). These features are proposed to break up large expanses of continuous fuels, provide for firefighter access and safety, increase suppression opportunities, and provide control points for the implementation of prescribed fire. To create these features, trees may be thinned to shaded fuelbreak standards and continuous vegetation under 8’’ DBH or 12 feet tall will be broken up into naturally appearing clumps or islands of varied size and shape. Non-native invasive weed control and eradication treatments are proposed for mapped known invasive weed locations; additional acres to account for a 20% rate of spread from those known locations; and a limited number of acres where future infestations are discovered subsequent to the analysis. Forest Plan Amendment For more than a quarter of a century, the Forest Service has been engaging in proactive California spotted owl (CSO) conservation focusing on retaining suitable habitat and minimizing disturbance to breeding owls. However, new science indicates threats to spotted owls are shifting and evolving, environmental conditions are changing, and owl populations are declining in some areas of the species’ range. The proposed forest plan amendments would allow the SERAL proposed landscape restoration treatments to best meet the purpose and need of the project and implement the guiding principles of the Conservation Strategy for the California Spotted Owl in the Sierra Nevada (USDA forest Service 2019), hereafter referred to as the ‘‘Conservation Strategy’’. The Conservation Strategy provides conservation measures that provide some immediate stability for individual owls that allow landscape treatments to occur to better align the landscape with its NRV. The Conservation Strategy concludes that restoring landscape structure and function to be within the NRV can help develop resilient habitat conditions that provide CSO conservation in the long term. VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:43 Jul 15, 2020 Jkt 250001 The amendments are specific to the 116,000-acre project area and proposed NRV restoration treatments and are consistent with the 2012 Planning Rule. The substantive provisions of 36 CFR 219.8 through 219.11 that directly apply to the proposed amendments are 36 CFR 219.9 Diversity of Plant and Animal Communities, (a) Ecosystem plan components, (1) Ecosystem integrity (36 CFR 219.9(a)(1)); 36 CFR 219.9 Diversity of Plant and Animal Communities, (a) Ecosystem plan components, (2) Ecosystem diversity, (i) key characteristics associated with the terrestrial and aquatic ecosystem types (36 CFR 219.9(a)(2)(i)); 36 CFR 219.9 Diversity of Plant and Animal Communities, (a) Ecosystem plan components, (2) Ecosystem diversity, (ii) rare aquatic and terrestrial plant and animal communities (36 CFR 219.9(a)(2)(ii)); and 36 CFR 219.8 Sustainability, (b) Social and Economic Sustainability, (1) Social, cultural, and economic conditions relevant to the area influenced by the plan (36 CFR 219.8(b)(1)). Responsible Official The responsible official will be Jason Kuiken, Forest Supervisor, Stanislaus National Forest. Nature of Decision To Be Made Given the purpose and need, the responsible official will determine whether the proposed actions comply with all applicable laws governing Forest Service actions and with the applicable standards and guidelines found in the Stanislaus National Forest Forest Plan; whether the EIS has sufficient environmental analysis to make an informed decision; and whether the proposed action meets the purpose and need for action. With this information, the responsible official must decide whether to select the proposed action or one of any other potential alternatives that may be developed, and what, if any, additional actions should be required. Scoping Process This notice of intent initiates the scoping process, which guides the development of the EIS. Public comments regarding this proposal are requested in order to assist in identifying issues and opportunities associated with the proposal, how to best manage resources, and to focus the analysis. The SERAL project is subject to pre-decisional administrative review consistent with the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2012 (Pub. L. 112–74) as implemented by subparts A and B of 36 CFR part 218. In addition, PO 00000 Frm 00002 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 the proposed forest plan amendments are subject to pre-decisional administrative review, pursuant to subpart B of the Planning Rule (36 CFR part 219). It is important that reviewers provide their comments at such times and in such manner that they are useful to the agency’s preparation of the environmental impact statement. Therefore, comments should be provided prior to the close of the comment period and should clearly articulate the reviewer’s concerns and contentions. Comments received in response to this solicitation, including names and addresses of those who comment, will be part of the public record for this proposed action. Comments submitted anonymously will be accepted and considered; however, anonymous comments will not provide the respondent eligibility to participate in subsequent administrative review.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (Commerce) is partially rescinding the administrative review of the countervailing duty order on multilayered wood flooring (Wood flooring) from the People’s Republic of China (China) for the period of review (POR) January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2018. DATES: Applicable July 16, 2020. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dennis McClure or Suzanne Lam, AD/ CVD Operations, Office VIII, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482–5973 or (202) 482–0783, respectively. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: AGENCY: Background On December 6, 2019, Commerce published a notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the countervailing duty order on wood flooring from China.1 Pursuant to requests from interested parties, Commerce initiated an administrative review with respect to 166 companies, in accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).2 Subsequent to the initiation of the administrative review, the petitioner 1 See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative Review, 84 FR 66880 (December 6, 2019). 2 See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 85 FR 6896 (February 6, 2020) (Initiation Notice). PO 00000 Frm 00003 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 43207 and a domestic interested party 3 timely withdrew their requests for an administrative review of 162 companies, as discussed below. As a result, all review requests were withdrawn for 91 of these 162 companies.4 There are active review requests on the record for the remaining 71 companies. Partial Rescission of Administrative Review Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind an administrative review, in whole or in part, if the party that requested a review withdraws its request within 90 days of the date of publication of the notice of initiation.5 All requests for an administrative review were withdrawn by the established deadline, June 25, 2020, for the companies listed in the Appendix.6 As a result, Commerce is rescinding this review with respect to these companies, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1). The instant review will continue with respect to the remaining companies in our initiation notice.7 Assessment Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess countervailing duties on all appropriate entries. For the companies for which this review is rescinded, countervailing duties shall be assessed at rates equal to the cash deposit of estimated countervailing duties required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse for consumption, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(l)(i). 3 The petitioner is American Manufacturers of Multilayered Wood Flooring. The domestic interested party is AHF, LLC. 4 We note that Riverside Plywood Corporation has reported that Suzhou Times Flooring Co., Ltd. (Suzhou Times) is a cross-owned company and Commerce has treated Suzhou Times as a crossowned company of Riverside Plywood Corporation in previous administrative reviews. Therefore, because Riverside Plywood Corporation remains under review, we are not rescinding the administrative review for Suzhou Times based on the petitioner’s request to rescind the review for Suzhou Times. See Riverside Plywood Corporation’s June 4, 2020 Affiliation Response. 5 On April 24, 2020, Commerce decided to toll all deadlines in administrative reviews by 50 days. See Memorandum, ‘‘Tolling of Deadlines for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews in Response to Operational Adjustments Due to COVID–19,’’ dated April 24, 2020. Therefore, Commerce tolled the deadline for the withdrawal of the requests for this administrative review until June 25, 2020. 6 See Domestic Interested Party’s Letter, ‘‘Multilayered Wood Flooring from the People’s Republic of China: Withdrawal of Request for Review—CY 2018 CVD Review Period,’’ dated May 6, 2020; and Petitioner’s Letter, ‘‘Multilayered Wood Flooring from the People’s Republic of China: Partial Withdrawal of Request for Administrative Review,’’ dated June 25, 2020. 7 See Initiation Notice, 85 FR at 6898.
