Download as PDF 56776 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 132 / Wednesday, July 10, 2024 / Notices analyze the impacts of issuing an incidental take permit based on the draft plan; to inform the public of the proposed action, any alternatives, and associated impacts; and to disclose any irreversible commitments of resources. Proposed Action The proposed action is the Service’s issuance of an incidental take permit for a period of 30 years for covered species that could be affected by PG&E’s operations and maintenance activities and minor new construction (covered activities). The valley elderberry longhorn beetle, federally listed as threatened, is the only species included as a covered species in the draft plan. The permit is requested to fill gaps in coverage from PG&E’s three other habitat conservation plans, which include coverage for other federally listed species that occur in the plan area. Measures outlined in these three other plans will continue to be implemented along with the measures included in the draft plan in areas where multiple plans overlap. The goal of PG&E’s overall program for the draft plan is to avoid, minimize, and mitigate temporary and permanent impacts to the beetle and its habitat resulting from covered activities. Covered activities will occur in all or part of the following 12 California counties: Solano, Contra Costa, San Joaquin, Alameda, Stanislaus, Merced, Napa, Santa Clara, San Benito, Fresno, Mariposa and Madera. The total plan area is approximately 477,646 acres. It includes PG&E gas and electric transmission and distribution facilities plus rights-of-way, the lands owned by PG&E or subject to PG&E easements to maintain these facilities, private and public access routes associated with PG&E’s routine maintenance, a buffer around the rights of way, areas of minor new construction, and mitigation areas acquired to mitigate effects resulting from covered activities. ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 Public Comments We request data, comments, new information, or suggestions from the public, other concerned governmental agencies, the scientific community, Tribes, industry, or any other interested party on this notice, the draft EA, and the draft plan.

SUMMARY: The training sessions will be held on July 18, 2024, at 3 to 3:45 p.m., Eastern Time, and July 24, 2024, at 5:30 to 6:15 p.m., Eastern Time.

DATES: Noticeand-comment rulemaking generally affords any interested individual or organization the opportunity to provide written input on a Federal agency’s proposed rule. Agencies, in turn, are generally required to review these comments as they consider how best to finalize their regulatory proposals, and to respond to relevant and significant public comments in any subsequent final rule. Interested members of the public who wish to comment, however, may not always be aware of the most effective way of participating in the notice-andcomment process. In public comments and listening sessions held prior to the release of OIRA’s Memorandum, Broadening Public Participation and Community Engagement in the Regulatory Process, members of the public noted challenges they face in seeking to participate in the notice-and- SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: E:\FR\FM\10JYN1.SGM 10JYN1

(Final)]


Paper Shopping Bags From Cambodia, China, Colombia, India, 
Malaysia, Portugal, Taiwan, and 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 an industry in the United States is materially injured by 
reason of imports of paper shopping bags from Cambodia, China, 
Colombia, India, Malaysia, Portugal, Taiwan, and Vietnam, provided for 
in subheadings 4819.30.00 and 4819.40.00 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 subsidized by the Governments of 
China and India.2 3
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \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\ 89 FR 45829, 89 FR 45834 (May 24, 2024), 89 FR 45841, 89 FR

45832, 89 FR 45839, (May 24, 2024).
    \3\ 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 duty 
orders on paper shopping bags from China and India, or the 
antidumping duty orders on paper shopping bags from Cambodia, China, 
Taiwan and Vietnam.

Commerce by the Coalition for Fair Trade in Shopping Bags, a coalition 
whose members include Novolex Holdings, LLC, Charlotte, North Carolina, 
and the United Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing,

the investigations following notification of preliminary determinations 
by Commerce that imports of paper shopping bags from China and India 
were being subsidized within the meaning of section 703(b) of the Act 
(19 U.S.C. 1671b(b)) and imports of paper shopping bags from Cambodia, 
China, Colombia, India, Malaysia, Portugal, Taiwan, and Vietnam were 
being sold at LTFV within the meaning of section 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

March 14, 2024.
    The investigation schedules became staggered when Commerce did not 
postpone its final determination for the antidumping duty investigation 
regarding paper shopping bags from Turkey, while it did postpone the 
final determinations for the countervailing duty investigations 
regarding paper

antidumping duty investigation of paper shopping bags from Turkey (89

and subsidized by the governments of China and India within the meaning 
of section 705(a) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671d(a)), 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

705(b) and 735(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671d(b) and 19 U.S.C.
