Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 244 / Tuesday, December 21, 2004 / Notices 76449

Field Test Locations: Montana, 

Oklahoma, Iowa, Missouri, Tennessee, 

and Florida. 

The above-mentioned product is a 

live canarypox vector that has been 

genetically modified to express genes 

from two equine influenza virus strains. 

The vaccine is for use in horses as an 

aid in the prevention of disease caused 

by equine influenza virus. 

The EA has been prepared in 

accordance with: (1) The National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 

(NEPA), as amended (42 U.S.C. 4321 et 

seq.), (2) regulations of the Council on 

Environmental Quality for 

implementing the procedural provision 

of NEPA (40 CFR parts 1500–1508), (3) 

USDA regulations implementing NEPA 

(7 CFR part 1b), and (4) APHIS’ NEPA 

Implementing Procedures (7 CFR part 

372). 

Unless substantial issues with adverse 

environmental impacts are raised in 

response to this notice, APHIS intends 

to issue a finding of no significant 

impact (FONSI) based on the EA and 

authorize shipment of the above product 

for the initiation of field tests following 

the close of the comment period for this 

notice. 

Because the issues raised by field 

testing and by issuance of a license are 

identical, APHIS has concluded that the 

EA that is generated for field testing 

would also be applicable to the 

proposed licensing action. Provided that 

the field test data support the 

conclusions of the original EA and the 

issuance of a FONSI, APHIS does not 

intend to issue a separate EA and FONSI 

to support the issuance of the product 

license, and would determine that an 

environmental impact statement need 

not be prepared. APHIS intends to issue 

a veterinary biological product license 

for this vaccine following completion of 

the field test provided no adverse 

impacts on the human environment are 

identified and provided the product 

meets all other requirements for 

licensing.

Authority: 21 U.S.C. 151–159.

December 2004.

CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY

Notice of Decennial Review of 

Operational Files Designations

AGENCY: Central Intelligence Agency.

ACTION: Notice of Decennial Review of 

Operational Files Designations. 

SUMMARY: The Central Intelligence 

Agency (CIA or Agency) is soliciting 

comments regarding the historical value 

of, or other public interest in, the CIA 

files designated by the Director of 

Central Intelligence (DCI) pursuant to 

the CIA Information Act of 1984.

DATES: Comments must be received by 

January 20, 2005.

ADDRESSES: Submit comments in 

writing to Edmund Cohen, Director of 

Information Management Services, 

Central Intelligence Agency, 

Washington, DC 20505, or by fax to 

(703) 613–3020.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Edmund Cohen, Director of Information 

Management Services, Central 

Intelligence Agency, telephone 703–

613–1215.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The CIA 

Information Act of 1984, codified in 

section 431 of title 50 of the United 

States Code, authorizes the DCI to 

exempt operational files of the CIA from 

the publication, disclosure, search, and 

review provisions of the Freedom of 

Information Act. The statute defines 

operational files as: 

1. Files of the Directorate of 

Operations that document the conduct 

of foreign intelligence or 

counterintelligence operations or 

intelligence or security liaison 

arrangements or information exchanges 

with foreign governments or their 

intelligence or security services; 

2. Files of the Directorate of Science 

and Technology that document the 

means by which foreign intelligence or 

counterintelligence is collected through 

scientific and technical systems; and 

3. Files of the Office of Security that 

document investigations conducted to 

determine the suitability of potential 

foreign intelligence or 

counterintelligence sources; except that 

files that are the sole repository of 

disseminated intelligence are not 

operational files. 

The CIA Information Act of 1984 

requires that, not less than once every 

ten years, the DCI shall review the 

exemptions in force to determine 

whether such exemptions may be 

removed from any category of exempted 

files or any portion thereof. The Agency 

completed its first decennial review 

exercise in March 1995. The following 

represents a summary of the general 

categories of operational files that have 

been maintained within the Directorate 

of Operations, the Directorate of Science 

and Technology, and the Office of 

Security since the first decennial 

review: 

1. Files of the Directorate of 

Operations that document the 

intelligence sources and methods 

associated with various operational and 

foreign liaison activities, that document 

the conduct and management of various 

operational and foreign liaison 

activities, and that document the 

assessment of the viability of potential 

operational and foreign liaison activities 

and potential intelligence sources and 

methods; 

2. Files of the Directorate of Science 

and Technology that document the use 

of scientific and technical systems in 

the conduct of and in support of various 

operational and intelligence collection 

activities; 

3. Files of the Office of Security that 

document various aspects of the 

investigations conducted to determine 

the suitability of potential foreign 

intelligence or counterintelligence 

76450 Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 244 / Tuesday, December 21, 2004 / Notices 

sources proposed for use in various 

operational activities. 

The CIA is in the process of 

conducting its second decennial review 

of its operational files to determine 

whether any of the previously 

designated files, or portions thereof, can 

be removed from any of the specified 

categories of exempted files. The CIA 

Information Act of 1984 requires that 

the decennial review ‘‘include 

consideration of the historical value or 

other public interest in the subject 

matter of the particular category of files 

or portions thereof and the potential for 

declassifying a significant part of the 

information contained therein.’’ In 

accordance with this requirement, the 

CIA hereby solicits comments for the 

DCI’s consideration during the 

decennial review of the CIA’s 

operational files regarding the historical 

value of, or other public interest in, the 

subject matter of these particular 

categories of files or portions thereof 

described above and the relationship of 

that historical value or other public 

interest to the removal of previously 

designated files or any portions thereof 

from such a classification.

Dated: December 7, 2004.

Director of Information Management Services, 

Office of the Chief Information Office.

Honey from Argentina: Preliminary 

Results of Countervailing Duty 

Administrative Review

AGENCY: Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

(the Department) is conducting an 

administrative review of the 

countervailing duty order on honey 

from Argentina for the period January 1, 

2003, through December 31, 2003. If the 

final results remain the same as the 

preliminary results of this review, we 

will instruct U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) to assess 

countervailing duties as detailed in the 

‘‘Preliminary Results of Administrative 

Review’’ section of this notice. 

Interested parties are invited to 

comment on the preliminary results of 

this administrative review. (See the 

‘‘Public Comment’’ section of this 

notice).

EFFECTIVE DATE: December 21, 2004.

Thomas Gilgunn or Dara Iserson, AD/

CVD Operations, Office 6, U.S. 

Department of Commerce, Room 7867,

NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone 

(202) 482–4236 or (202) 482–4052, 

respectively.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On December 10, 2001, the 

Department published in the Federal 

Register the countervailing duty order 

on honey from Argentina. See Notice of 

Countervailing Duty Order: Honey From 

Argentina, 66 FR 63673. In response to 

requests for an administrative review of 

the countervailing duty (CVD) order on 

honey from Argentina from the 

Government of Argentina (GOA) and the 

American Honey Producers Association 

and the Sioux Honey Association 

(petitioners), the Department initiated 

an administrative review for the period 

January 1, 2003 through December 31, 

2003. See Initiation of Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Administrative 

Reviews and Request for Revocation in 

Part, 69 FR 3117 (January 22, 2004) 

(Initiation Notice).

On March 3, 2004, we issued a 

questionnaire to the GOA. On April 24, 

2004, the GOA submitted its 

questionnaire response. On June 9, 

2004, the Department issued a 

supplemental questionnaire to the GOA. 

The GOA submitted its response to the 

supplemental questionnaire on June 28, 

2004. On August 2, 2004, we extended 

the preliminary results from

September 1, 2004, until not later 

than December 13, 2004. See Notice of 

Extension of Time Limit for the 

Preliminary Results of Countervailing 

Duty Administrative Review: Honey 

From Argentina, 69 FR 48222 (August 9, 

2004). On September 23, 2004, the 

Department issued a second 

supplemental questionnaire to the GOA. 

The GOA submitted its response to the 

supplemental questionnaire on October 

5, 2004. On October 20, 2004, the 

Department issued a third supplemental 

questionnaire to the GOA. The GOA 

submitted its response to the 

supplemental questionnaire on 

November 5, 2004.

Verification

As provided in section 782(i) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), 

we intend to conduct verification of the 

GOA’s questionnaire responses 

following the issuance of the 

preliminary results.

Scope of the Order

The merchandise covered by this 

order is artificial honey containing more 

than 50 percent natural honeys by 

weight, preparations of natural honey 

containing more than 50 percent natural 

honeys by weight, and flavored honey. 

The subject merchandise includes all 

grades and colors of honey whether in 

liquid, creamed, combs, cut comb, or 

chunk form, and whether packaged for 

retail or in bulk form.

The merchandise subject to this order 

is currently classifiable under 

subheadings 0409.00.00, 1702.90, and 

2106.90.99 of the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). 

Although the HTSUS subheadings are 

provided for convenience and customs 

purposes, the Department’s written 

description of the merchandise covered 

by this order is dispositive.

Subsidies Valuation Information

A. Aggregation

Under section 777A(e)(2)(B) of the 

Act, the Department may calculate a 

single country–wide rate applicable to 

all exporters if the Department 

determines it is not practicable to 

determine individual countervailable 

subsidy rates due to the large number of 

exporters or producers involved in the 

investigation or review. In the 

countervailing duty (CVD) investigation 

of honey from Argentina, the 

Department solicited information from 

the GOA on an aggregate or industry–

wide basis in accordance with section 

777A(e)(2)(B) of the Act, rather than 

from individual producers and 

exporters, due to the large number of 

producers and exporters of honey in 

Argentina. See Memorandum to the File, 

Countervailing Duty Investigation of 

Honey from Argentina: Conducting the 

Investigation on an Aggregate Basis, 

dated November 22, 2000. We also 

conducted the first administrative 

review on an aggregate basis. See Honey 

from Argentina: Final Results of 

Countervailing Duty Administrative 

Review, 69 FR 29518 (May 24, 2004). As 

noted above, in accordance with 19 CFR 

§ 351.213(b)(2), the GOA requested an 

administrative review of this 

countervailing duty order. (See 

Initiation Notice.) No individual 

exporters requested the review pursuant 

to 19 CFR § 351.213(b). Accordingly, the 

Department is conducting this review of 

the order on an aggregate basis and will 

calculate a single country–wide subsidy 

rate for 2003 to be applied to all exports 

of the subject merchandise. See section 

777A(e)(2)(B) of the Act.
