inputs); physical environment (soils,
water resources, air quality); biological
resources (soil biota, animal
communities, plant communities,
herbicide-resistant weeds, gene flow
and weediness, biodiversity); public
health and worker safety; animal health
and welfare; and socioeconomic
considerations. In addition, potential
impacts on threatened and endangered
species will be evaluated.
Summary of Potential Impacts
APHIS anticipates the primary
potential impacts of the proposed action
will be on agronomic practices and
inputs. Agronomic impacts may include
changes in: Herbicide use in U.S. corn
crops, weed and herbicide resistant (HR)
weed management practices, and the
control of HR weeds. In recent years, the
use of dicamba-based herbicides has
resulted in instances of significant
economic impact on neighboring crop
and orchard fields because of
unintended drift and volatilization of
the herbicide. Potential economic
impacts associated with the use of
dicamba-based herbicides will also be
considered.

Anticipated Permits and Authorizations
MON 87429 maize, if deregulated,
could be cultivated to produce food,
feed, fuel, and industrial products,
subject to any EPA and/or U.S. Food
and Drug Administration (FDA)
requirements under the Coordinated
Framework.6 For example, any pesticide
registration and use with MON 87429
maize would be subject to the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide
Act (FIFRA) (7 U.S.C. 136 et seq.) and
EPA requirements. Any human or
animal food derived from MON 87429
maize would be subject to the Federal
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA;
21 U.S.C. 301 et seq.) and FDA
requirements. Bayer may voluntarily
consult with the FDA to ensure
compliance with the FFDCA.
Public Scoping Process
As previously discussed, APHIS seeks
public comment on petitions deemed
complete through notices published in
the Federal Register. In accordance with
our process, on May 8, 2020, APHIS
solicited comments on the petition for
60 days ending July 7, 2020. We
received 4,112 comments on the
petition by the close of the comment
period from the academic sector,

organizations, nonprofit organizations,
industry, private citizens, and a tribal
nation.
APHIS is seeking additional public
comment on this notice of intent to
prepare an EIS to help identify potential
alternatives, and relevant information,
studies, and/or analyses that APHIS
should consider in evaluating the
potential impacts of the proposed action
on the quality of the human
environment. Those who have already
submitted comments on the Bayer
petition need not resubmit—APHIS will
consider these comments in
development of the EIS. To promote
informed NEPA analysis and decisionmaking, comments should be as specific
as possible and explain why the issues
raised are important for consideration in
the EIS. Comments should include,
where possible, references and data
sources supporting the information
provided in the comment. We encourage
the submission of scientific data,
studies, or research to support your
comments.
APHIS will accept written comments
regarding the EIS for the Bayer petition
for a period of 30 days from the date of
this notice. The petition is available for
public review, and copies are available
as indicated under ADDRESSES and FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT above.
Schedule for the Decision-Making
Process
As part of the decision-making
process in responding to the petition,
APHIS is preparing an EIS and a Plant
Pest Risk Assessment (PPRA). APHIS
plans to complete the PPRA within 6
months, and the EIS and record of
decision within 2 years of the date of
this notice. Note that this schedule is
tentative, and the time frame could be
extended.

Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 45—
Portland, Oregon; Notification of
Proposed Production Activity; Lam
Research Corporation (Semiconductor
Production Equipment, Subassemblies
and Related Parts), Tualatin and
Sherwood, Oregon
The Port of Portland, grantee of FTZ
45, submitted a notification of proposed
production activity to the FTZ Board on
behalf of Lam Research Corporation
(Lam), located in Tualatin and
Sherwood, Oregon. The notification
conforming to the requirements of the
regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR
400.22) was received on April 14, 2021.
Lam already has authority to produce
semiconductor production equipment,
subassemblies and related parts within
Subzone 45H. The current request
would add finished products and
foreign status materials/components to
the scope of authority. Pursuant to 15
PO 00000
Frm 00004
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
22387
CFR 400.14(b), additional FTZ authority
would be limited to the specific foreignstatus materials/components and
specific finished products described in
the submitted notification (as described
below) and subsequently authorized by
the FTZ Board.
Production under FTZ procedures
could exempt Lam from customs duty
payments on the foreign-status
materials/components used in export
production. On its domestic sales, for
the foreign-status materials/components
noted below and in the existing scope
of authority, Lam would be able to
choose the duty rates during customs
entry procedures that apply to the
finished products in its existing scope of
authority and to the finished products
listed below (duty free).
Lam’s proposed finished products
include tools and process modules for—
and installation, maintenance, repair,
retrofit, and upgrade kits for tools and
process modules for—the following:
Chemical vapor deposition, physical
vapor deposition, and plasma dry etch
of materials on a wafer for semiconductor production; plasma etch of
the bevel edge of a wafer to remove
yield-limiting residues and defects of a
wafer surface for semi-conductor
production; stripping of photoresist
material on a wafer for semi-conductor
production; ultraviolet thermal
processing of a wafer surface for semiconductor production; and, wafer
cleaning between chip-processing steps
to remove yield-limiting residues and
defects of a wafer surface for semiconductor production.
Lam’s proposed finished products
also include installation, maintenance,
repair, retrofit, and upgrade kits for the
following: Machines for the production
of semiconductors, namely etch
systems; machines for manufacturing
masks and assembling electronic
circuits; semiconductor equipment and
parts and assemblies; chemical/
mechanical planarization and other
wafer surface modification equipment;
conductor material deposition process
modules and machines for wafer
packaging; transport modules; and,
wafer transport robots.
Finally, Lam’s proposed finished
products include: Chemical/mechanical
planarization and other wafer surface
modification equipment; conductor
material deposition process modules
and machines for wafer packaging;
transport modules; and, wafer transport
robots. Lam would be able to avoid duty
on foreign-status components which
become scrap/waste. Customs duties
also could possibly be deferred or
reduced on foreign-status production
equipment.
