Pursuant to its authority under the

the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the 

Board) adopts the following Order: 

Whereas, the Foreign-Trade Zones Act 

provides for ‘‘* * *the establishment 

* * * of foreign-trade zones in ports of 

entry of the United States, to expedite 

and encourage foreign commerce, and 

for other purposes,’’ and authorizes the 

Foreign-Trade Zones Board to grant to 

qualified corporations the privilege of 

establishing foreign-trade zones in or 

adjacent to U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection ports of entry; 

Whereas, the Board’s regulations (15 

CFR Part 400) provide for the 

establishment of special-purpose 

subzones when existing zone facilities 

cannot serve the specific use involved, 

and when the activity results in a 

significant public benefit and is in the 

public interest; 

Whereas, the Piedmont Triad 

Partnership, grantee of Foreign-Trade 

Zone 230, has made application to the 

Board for authority to establish a 

special-purpose subzone at the 

upholstered furniture manufacturing 

facilities of Klaussner Home 

Furnishings located in Asheboro and 

Candor, North Carolina (FTZ Docket 59–

Whereas, notice inviting public 

comment has been given in the Federal 

Register (74 FR 69329, 12–31–2009) and 

the application has been processed 

pursuant to the FTZ Act and the Board’s 

regulations; and, 

Whereas, the Board adopts the 

findings and recommendations of the 

examiner’s report, and finds that the 

requirements of the FTZ Act and 

Board’s regulations would be satisfied, 

and that the proposal would be in the 

public interest if subject to the 

restrictions listed below; 

Now, Therefore, the Board hereby 

grants authority for subzone status for

ACTION: Notice; public scoping meetings. 

SUMMARY: In a February 17, 2011, 

Federal Register notice, the National 

Oceanic and Atmospheric 

Administration (NOAA), National 

Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) 

announced in a notice of intent that it, 

on behalf of the Trustee Council, will 

begin restoration scoping and 

preparation of a Programmatic 

Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS)

Canyon Block 252 (‘‘the Oil Spill’’). The 

notice announced NOAA’s intent to 

hold public scoping meetings in eleven 

(11) locations in the five Gulf of Mexico 

States and in Washington, DC, but it did 

not include meeting details. The 

meeting details for these locations are 

available now. 

The purpose of the Gulf Spill 

Restoration Planning PEIS is to identify 

restoration types and establish a 

programmatic framework and 

procedures that will enable the Trustees 

to expedite the selection and 

implementation of restoration projects 

to compensate the public and the 

environment for loss of natural 

resources and services from the Oil 

Spill. 

DATES: All public scoping meetings will 

begin at 7:30 p.m. (local time) and doors 

will open at 6:30 p.m., except in Grand 

Isle, Houma, and Morgan City, 

Louisiana, which will start at 6:30 p.m. 

and open doors at 5:30 p.m. For scoping 

meetings dates and locations see 

Scoping Meetings under the 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section. 

ADDRESSES: Written scoping comments 

on suggested restoration types should be 

sent to: NOAA Restoration Center, Attn: 

DWH PEIS Comments, 263 13th Avenue 

South, Suite 166, St. Petersburg, FL 

33701. Electronic comments are strongly 

encouraged, and can be submitted to

considered. Scoping will close 90 days 

after the February 17, 2011 NOI, on

future Federal Register document to 

remind the public at the end of the 

scoping period.

National Marine Fisheries Service 

(NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

U.S. Department of Commerce is the 

lead agency for the preparation of the 

PEIS on behalf of United States 

Department of the Interior (on behalf of 

the Fish and Wildlife Service, the 

National Park Service, the Bureau of 

Land Management and the Bureau of 

Indian Affairs) (‘‘DOI’’); the Louisiana 

Coastal Protection and Restoration 

Authority, the Louisiana Oil Spill 

Coordinator’s Office, the Louisiana 

Department of Environmental Quality, 

the Louisiana Department of Wildlife 

and Fisheries, and the Louisiana 

Department of Natural Resources, for 

the State of Louisiana; the Mississippi 

Department of Environmental Quality, 

for the State of Mississippi; the Alabama 

Department of Conservation and Natural 

Resources and the Geological Survey of 

Alabama, for the State of Alabama; the 

Florida Department of Environmental 

Protection and the Florida Fish and 

Wildlife Conservation Commission for 

the State of Florida; and the Texas Parks 

and Wildlife Department, Texas General 

Land Office, and the Texas Commission 

on Environmental Quality, for the State 

of Texas. The notice of intent to begin 

restoration scoping and prepare a 

Programmatic Environmental Impact 

Statement published at 76 FR 9327, 

February 17, 2011. 

The National Environmental Policy 

Act (NEPA), 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq., and 

the Council on Environmental Quality 

regulations implementing NEPA under 

40 CFR Chapter V applies to restoration 

actions by Federal trustees. The Federal 

and state Trustees will be developing a 

PEIS to help guide restoration actions 

associated with the Natural Resource 

Damage Assessment (NRDA) for the Oil 

Spill. The PEIS will assess the 

environmental, social, and economic 

attributes of the affected environment 

and the potential consequences of 

alternative actions to restore, 

rehabilitate, replace, or acquire the 

equivalent of natural resources and 

services potentially injured by the spill. 

A PEIS may generally be prepared to 

evaluate actions that encompass a large 

geographic scale. Tiered analyses 

considering particular restoration 

actions may be required in the future as 

specific plans for implementing 

particular alternatives are established. 

The purpose of the scoping process is 

to identify the concerns of the affected 

public and for the Federal agencies, 

states, and Indian tribes to involve the 

public early in the decision making 

process, facilitate an efficient PEIS 

preparation process, define the issues 

and alternatives that will be examined 

in detail, and save time by ensuring that 

draft documents adequately address 

relevant issues. The scoping process 

reduces paperwork and delay by 

ensuring that important issues are 

addressed early. Following the scoping 

process, the Trustees will prepare a 

draft PEIS, at which time the public will 

be encouraged to comment on the 

document. Similar to the scoping 

process, public comment meetings will 

be held at that time to gather oral and 

written public input on the draft PEIS. 

In compliance with 15 CFR 990.45, 

the Trustees will prepare an 

Administrative Record (AR). The AR 

will include documents that the 

Trustees relied on during the 

development of the PEIS. After 

preparation, the Record will be on file 

at the NOAA Restoration Center in 

Silver Spring, MD, and duplicate copies 

will be maintained at the following Web 

site: http://www.darrp.noaa.gov/. The 

specific web page will be provided in 

the next public notice. 

The draft PEIS document is intended 

to be released for public comment by 

Fall/Winter, 2011. Specific dates and 

times for future events will be 

publicized when scheduled. 

Dated: February 23, 2011.
