implications to warrant preparation of a 

federalism assessment. 

Executive Order 13175, Consultation 

and Coordination With Indian Tribal 

Governments 

In accordance with E.O. 13175, we 

have found that this proposed 

supplementary rule would not include 

policies that have tribal implications. 

Since the rule does not change BLM 

policy and does not involve Indian 

reservation lands or resources, we have 

determined that the government-togovernment relationships should remain 

unaffected. The proposed 

supplementary rule only prohibits the 

unlawful possession of alcoholic 

beverages on public lands. 

Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice 

Reform 

Under Executive Order 12988, the 

Office of the Solicitor has determined 

that this proposed supplementary rule 

would not unduly burden the judicial 

system and that it meets the 

requirements of sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) 

of the Order. 

Paperwork Reduction Act 

This proposed supplementary rule 

does not contain information collection 

requirements that the Office of 

Management and Budget must approve 

under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.

National Environmental Policy Act

BLM has determined the 

supplementary rule is categorically 

excluded from environmental review 

under section 102(2)(C) of the National 

Environmental Policy Act, pursuant to 

516 Departmental Manual (DM) Chapter 

2, Appendix 1. In addition, the 

supplemental rule does not meet any of 

the ten criteria for exceptions to 

categorical exclusions listed in 516 DM, 

Chapter 2, Appendix 2. Pursuant to 

Council on Environmental Quality 

regulations (40 CFR 1508.4) and the 

environmental policies and procedures 

of the Department of the Interior, the 

term ‘‘categorical exclusion’’ means a 

category of actions which do not 

individually or cumulatively have a 

significant effect on the human 

environment and that have been found 

to have no such effect in procedures 

adopted by a Federal Agency, and for 

which neither an environmental 

assessment nor environmental impact 

statement is required. 

Executive Order 13211, Actions 

Concerning Regulations That 

Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution, or Use 

This proposed supplementary rule is 

not a significant energy action. The rule 

would not have an adverse effect on 

energy supplies, production or 

consumption. It only addresses the 

possession of alcoholic beverages on 

public lands, and has no conceivable 

connection with energy policy. 

Author 

The principal author of this 

supplementary rule is State Staff Ranger 

John McLaughlin of the Arizona State 

Office, Bureau of Land Management, 

Department of the Interior. 

Under the authority of 43 CFR 

8365.1–6 and 43 U.S.C. 1733(a), the

Notice of Proposed Supplementary 

Rules for Public Lands in Colorado: 

Escalante Canyon Area of Critical 

Environmental Concern (ACEC), 

Escalante Potholes Recreation Area, 

and Escalante Bridge Boat Launch Site

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, 

Interior.

ACTION: Notice of proposed 

supplementary rules. 

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land 

Management’s (BLM) Uncompahgre 

68976 Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 227 / Friday, November 26, 2004 / Notices 

Field Office is proposing supplementary 

rules to regulate conduct on specific 

public lands within Escalante Canyon in 

Montrose and Delta Counties. The rules 

apply to the following Escalante Canyon 

recreation sites: Escalante Bridge boat 

launch site, Escalante Canyon Area of 

Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC), 

and the Potholes Recreation Area. BLM 

has determined these rules necessary to 

protect the area’s natural resources, 

provide for public health and safe 

public recreation and reduce the 

potential for damage to sensitive 

resources including unique riparian 

areas and threatened and rare plant 

species and habitat.

DATES: Please mail comments to the 

following address by December 27, 

2004.

ADDRESSES: Please mail comments to 

Barbara Sharrow, 2505 South Townsend 

Avenue, Montrose, Colorado 81401.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Barbara Sharrow, Uncompahgre Field 

Office Manager, 2505 S. Townsend 

Avenue, Montrose, CO 81401, (970) 

240–5315, or by e-mail: 

Barbara_sharrow@co.blm.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

identified public lands are in Montrose 

and Delta Counties, Colorado, under the 

management jurisdiction of the Bureau 

of Land Management. The Escalante 

Bridge boat launch site is located within 

sec. B, T. 15 S., R. 97 W., 6th Principal 

Meridian. The Escalante Canyon ACEC 

is located within secs. 20–22 and 28–30, 

T. 51 N., R. 13 W., and secs. 25 and 36, 

T. 51, R. 14 W., New Mexico Principal 

Meridian. The Potholes Recreation Area 

is located within the ACEC at NE1⁄4

SW1⁄4 Sec. 21, T. 51 N., R. 13 W. 

The 1,895 acre Escalante ACEC was 

designated in the 1989 Uncompahgre 

Basin Resource Management Plan (RMP) 

to provide protection from surface 

disturbing activities for several listed 

plant species including the Unita 

hookless cactus (threatened) Grand 

Junction milkvetch (candidate), Delta 

lomatium (sensitive), and three unique 

plant associations. The State of 

Colorado, Natural Areas Program, also 

designated the area as a Colorado State 

Natural Area in 1992 based on 

threatened and rare plants, unique plant 

communities and significant geologic 

interest. The Escalante Bridge boat ramp 

site is extremely limited in size due to 

natural topography, private land, and a 

railroad crossing and right-of-way. 

Overnight camping by boating groups at 

the small site is a safety hazard and 

inconvenience for other users trying to 

launch boats at the site. The Escalante 

Potholes Recreation site receives 

significant recreational use due to its 

scenic qualities and the presence of 

eroded potholes in Escalante Creek 

which are used for swimming. The 

practice of visitors diving and jumping 

from heights of 30–100 feet off 

surrounding cliffs into the holes has 

resulted in numerous accidents and at 

least 5 deaths over the last 12 years. In 

addition to jumping, visitors also cause 

significant resource damage to the area 

by cutting trees for bonfires; shooting or 

throwing glass bottles around the 

swimming and camping areas; leaving 

trash; and improperly disposing of 

human waste. Underage drinking and 

drug-related activity, particularly 

associated with overnight camping and 

bonfire parties, is increasing and adding 

to visitor safety concerns and BLM 

compliance problems. Complaints 

regarding the amount of public nudity at 

the site are increasing as are conflicts 

between various user groups. The BLM 

is currently installing recreation 

facilities at the Potholes to address 

sanitation problems, resource impacts, 

and restrict visitor use and parking to 

certain areas to increase safety and 

protect sensitive sites. Additional visitor 

use restrictions are needed to address 

the problems associated with unsafe 

jumping and diving, target shooting, 

broken glass safety concerns, damage to 

trees and sensitive plant communities 

from fire wood collecting, improper offhighway vehicle use, and unrestricted 

overnight camping. 

I. Discussion of the Proposed 

Supplementary Rule 

These supplementary rules are 

needed to address significant public 

safety concerns and resource protection 

issues resulting from increased public 

use and unsafe user conduct at popular 

recreation sites within Escalante Canyon 

and the Escalante Canyon ACEC. The 

rules would apply to the public lands 

located at the Escalante boat launch site. 

Escalante Canyon ACEC, and the 

Potholes Recreation Area at the legal 

descriptions provided above. 

II. Procedural Matters 

Executive Order 12866, Regulatory 

Planning and Review

These supplementary rules are not 

significant regulatory actions and not 

subject to review by the Office of 

Management and Budget under 

Executive Order 12866. These 

supplementary rules will not have an 

annual effect of $100 million or more on 

the economy. They will not adversely 

affect in a material way the economy, 

productivity, competition, jobs, the 

environment, public health or safety, or 

State, local, or tribal governments or 

communities. These supplementary 

rules will not create a serious 

inconsistency or otherwise interfere 

with an action taken or planned by 

another agency. The supplementary 

rules do not materially alter the 

budgetary effects of entitlements, grants, 

user fees, or loan programs or the rights 

or obligations of their recipients; nor 

does it raise novel legal or policy issues. 

These supplementary rules would 

establish rules of conduct for public use 

of a limited area of public lands. 

Clarity of the Regulations 

Executive Order 12866 requires each 

agency to write regulations that are 

simple and easy to understand. We 

invite your comments on how to make 

this supplementary rule easier to 

understand, including answers to 

questions such as the following: 

1. Are the requirements in the 

supplementary rule clearly stated? 

2. Does the supplementary rule 

contain technical language or jargon that 

interferes with their clarity? 

3. Does the format of the 

supplementary rule (grouping and order 

of sections, use of headings, 

paragraphing, etc.) aid or reduce clarity? 

4. Is the description of the 

supplementary rule in the 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section of 

this preamble helpful in understanding 

the supplementary rule? How could this 

description be more helpful in making 

the supplementary rule easier to 

understand? 

Please send any comments you have 

on the clarity of the rule to the address 

specified in the ADDRESSES section. 

National Environmental Policy Act 

These supplementary rules do not 

constitute a major Federal action 

significantly affecting the quality of the 

human environment. The rules would 

merely establish rules of conduct for 

public use of a limited area of public 

lands to protect public health and safety 

and improve the protection of the 

resources. Although some uses, such as 

target shooting, will be prohibited at all 

sites, all of the areas would still be open 

to other recreation uses. A detailed 

statement under the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 is not 

required. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act 

Congress enacted the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act of 1980, as amended, 5 

U.S.C. 601–612, to ensure that 

Government regulations do not 

unnecessarily or disproportionately 

burden small entities. The RFA requires 

a regulatory flexibility analysis if a rule 

Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 227 / Friday, November 26, 2004 / Notices 68977

would have a significant economic 

impact, either detrimental or beneficial, 

on a substantial number of small 

entities. These supplementary rules 

would merely establish rules of conduct 

for public use of a limited area of public 

lands. Therefore, BLM has determined 

under the RFA that this supplementary 

rule would not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities. 

Small Business Regulatory Enforcement 

Fairness Act (SBREFA) 

These supplementary rules are not 

‘‘major’’ as defined under 5 U.S.C. 

804(2). The supplementary rules would 

merely establish rules of conduct for 

public use of a limited area of public 

lands and do not affect commercial or 

business activities of any kind.

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

These supplementary rules do not 

impose an unfunded mandate on State, 

local, or tribal governments in the 

aggregate, or the private sector of more 

than $100 million per year; nor does it 

have a significant or unique effect on 

small governments. The rules have no 

effect on governmental or tribal entities 

and would impose no requirements on 

any of these entities. The supplementary 

rules would merely establish rules of 

conduct for public use of a limited 

selection of public lands and do not 

affect tribal, commercial, or business 

activities of any kind. Therefore, BLM is 

not required to prepare a statement 

containing the information required by 

the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (2 

U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) 

Executive Order 12630, Governmental 

Actions and Interference With 

Constitutionally Protected Property 

Rights (Takings) 

These supplementary rules do not 

have significant takings implications, 

nor are they capable of interfering with 

Constitutionally-protected property 

rights. The supplementary rules would 

merely establish rules of conduct for 

public use of a limited area of public 

lands and do not affect anyone’s 

property rights. Therefore, the 

Department of the Interior has 

determined that these rules will not 

cause a taking of private property or 

require preparation of a takings 

assessment under this Executive Order. 

Executive Order 13132, Federalism. 

These supplementary rules will not 

have a substantial direct effect on the 

States, on the relationship between the 

national government and the States, or 

on the distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government. These 

supplementary rules do not come into 

conflict with any state law or regulation. 

Therefore, in accordance with Executive 

Order 13132, BLM has determined that 

these supplementary rules do not have 

sufficient Federalism implications to 

warrant preparation of a Federalism 

Assessment. 

Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice 

Reform. 

Under Executive Order 12988, the 

Office of the Solicitor has determined 

that these rules will not unduly burden 

the judicial system and that they meet 

the requirements of sections 3(a) and 

3(b)(2) of the Order. 

Executive Order 13175, Consultation 

and Coordination With Indian Tribal 

Governments 

In accordance with Executive Order 

13175, we have found that these 

supplementary rules do not include 

policies that have tribal implications. 

None of the lands included in these 

rules are Indian lands or affect Indian 

rights. 

Paperwork Reduction Act 

These supplementary rules do not 

contain information collection 

requirements that the Office of 

Management and Budget must approve 

under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. Any 

information collection requirements 

contained in these rules are exempt 

from the provisions of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 

3518(c)(1). Federal criminal 

investigations or prosecutions may 

result from these rules, and the 

collection of information for these 

purposes is exempt from the Paperwork 

Reduction Act. 

Authors 

The principal author of these 

supplementary rules is Gunnison Gorge 

NCA Manager Karen Tucker.

INTERNATIONAL TRADE 

COMMISSION 

[Investigation No. 731–TA–1056 (Final)] 

Certain Aluminum Plate From South 

Africa 

Determination 

On the basis of the record 1 developed 

in the subject investigation, the United 

States International Trade Commission 

(Commission) determines,2 pursuant to 

section 735(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930 

(19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)) (the Act), that an 

industry in the United States is not 

materially injured or threatened with 

material injury, and the establishment of 

an industry in the United States is not 

materially retarded, by reason of 

imports from South Africa of certain 

aluminum plate, provided for in 

subheading 7606.12.30 of the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States, that have been found by 

the Department of Commerce 

(Commerce) to be sold in the United 

States at less than fair value (LTFV).

Background 

The Commission instituted this 

investigation effective October 16, 2003, 

following receipt of a petition filed with 

the Commission and Commerce by 

Alcoa, Inc., Pittsburgh, PA. The final 

phase of the investigation was 

scheduled by the Commission following 

notification of a preliminary 

determination by Commerce that 

imports of certain aluminum plate from 

South Africa 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 investigation 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 of June 15, 2004 (69 FR 33401). 

The hearing was held in Washington, 

DC, on October 5, 2004, and all persons 

who requested the opportunity were 

permitted to appear in person or by 

counsel. 

The Commission transmitted its 

determination in this investigation to 

the Secretary of Commerce on 

November 18, 2004. The views of the 

Commission are contained in USITC 

Publication 3734, November 2004,

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree 

Under the Comprehensive 

Environmental Response, 

Compensation, and Liability Act 

Notice is hereby given that on October 

28, 2004, a proposed Consent Decree in 

United States of America and State of 

Louisiana v. CanadianOxy Offshore 

Production Co., Civil Action No. CV04–

2220–S was lodged with the United 

States District Court for the Western 

District of Louisiana. 

In this action the United States sought 

to recover from CanadianOxy Offshore 

Production Co. (‘‘COPCo’’) response 

costs incurred in response to releases 

and threatened releases of hazardous 

substances from the facility known as 

the Highway 71/72 Refinery Site (the 

‘‘Site’’) located in Bossier City, Bossier 

Parish, Louisiana. The United States 

also sought a declaratory judgment that 

COPCo was liable for any future 

response costs incurred by the United 

States at the Site. The Consent Decree 

provides that COPCO shall (1) perform 

all the work required by EPA’s 

September 2000 Record of Decision; (2) 

pay $5,689,192.06 towards the response 

costs incurred by EPA in connection 

with the Site on or before September 30, 

2003, plus interest from September 30, 

2003, to the date the Consent Decree is 

entered; and (3) pay all response costs 

incurred by EPA in connection with the 

Site after September 30, 2003. The 

Consent Decree also settles the 

Louisiana Department of Environmental 

Quality’s (LDEQ’s) claims regarding the 

Site and establishes a $25,000 special 

account for the LDEQ to draw upon for 

its work at the Site. COPCo is required 

to replenish the LDEQ special account 

annually. 

The Department of Justice will receive 

for a period of thirty (30) days from the 

date of this publication comments 

relating to the Consent Degree. 

Comments should be addressed to the 

Assistant Attorney General, 

Environment and Natural Resources 

Division, P.O. Box 7611, U.S.
