of neighbors have been reported. The 

Federal Aviation Administration 

maintains an aircraft communications 

facility in the affected zone. This 

installation handles aircraft 

communications for civilian, 

commercial and military air traffic in 

western Colorado. The facility has been 

vandalized and struck by bullets on a 

regular basis. Damage to this facility 

could interfere with air traffic and be a 

threat to national security. Violations of 

this closure are punishable by a fine of 

not more than $100,000 and/or

Bureau of Reclamation 

Water Transfer Program for the San 

Joaquin River Exchange Contractors 

Water Authority, 2005 to 2014

AGENCY: Bureau of Reclamation, 

Interior.

ACTION: Notice of availability of the joint 

Final Environmental Impact Statement/

Environmental Impact Report (Final 

EIS/EIR) FES 04–50. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and 

the California Environmental Quality 

Act (CEQA), the Bureau of Reclamation 

(Reclamation) and the San Joaquin River 

Exchange Contractors Water Authority 

(Exchange Contractors) have prepared a 

Final EIS/EIR for a 10-year water 

transfer program. The program would 

consist of the transfer of up to 130,000 

acre-feet of substitute water (a 

maximum of 80,000 acre-feet of 

developed water from conservation 

measures, including tailwater recovery, 

and groundwater pumping and a 

maximum of 50,000 acre-feet from 

temporary land fallowing) from the 

Exchange Contractors to other Central 

Valley Project (CVP) contractors, to 

Reclamation for delivery to the San 

Joaquin Valley wetland habitat areas 

(wildlife refuges), and to Reclamation 

and/or DWR for use by the CALFED 

Environmental Water Account (EWA) as 

replacement water for CVP contractors. 

Reclamation would approve and/or 

execute short-term and/or long-term 

temporary water transfers or 

agreements. 

A Notice of Availability of the joint 

Draft EIS/EIR was published in the 

Federal Register on Wednesday, June 

16, 2004 (69 FR 33659). The written 

comment period on the Draft EIS/EIR

Bob Eckart at the above address, by 

calling (916) 978–5051, or by e-mail: 

reckart@mp.usbr.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

purpose/objective of the proposed 10-

year transfer program is the transfer of 

water from the Exchange Contractors to: 

• South of Delta and Friant Unit CVP 

contractors to meet demands of 

agriculture, municipal, and industrial 

uses, 

• The Department of the Interior’s 

Water Acquisition Program for delivery 

to the San Joaquin Valley Federal, State, 

and private wildlife refuges to meet 

Incremental Level 4 needs, and/or 

• Reclamation and/or DWR for use by 

the CALFED EWA Program to benefit 

CVP operations by providing 

replacement water to CVP contractors. 

The Exchange Contractors’ proposed 

water transfer program would assist 

Reclamation in maximizing the use of 

limited existing water resources for 

agriculture, fish and wildlife resources, 

and municipal and industrial purposes. 

Water would be transferred to other CVP 

contractors to support the production of 

agricultural crops and livestock within 

the limits of their current agreements. 

CVP contractors include Santa Clara 

Valley Water District which is in need 

of short-term water supplies to support 

agriculture, municipal, and industrial 

uses in Santa Clara County. 

Reclamation’s Water Acquisition 

Program needs additional water to 

provide the refuges with the increment 

between Level 2 and Level 4 water 

quantities for fish and wildlife habitat 

development. Reclamation and/or DWR 

may also need to acquire additional CVP 

water south of the Delta to replace water 

used for fish protection actions pursuant 

to CALFED’s EWA Program (for the 

benefit of the CVP). 

The water transfers would occur 

largely within the San Joaquin Valley of 

Central California. The Exchange 

Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 240 / Wednesday, December 15, 2004 / Notices 75087

Contractors service area covers parts of 

Fresno, Madera, Merced, and Stanislaus 

counties. The agricultural water users 

that would benefit from the potential 

transfers are located in the counties of 

Stanislaus, San Joaquin, Merced, 

Madera, Fresno, San Benito, Santa 

Clara, Tulare, Kings, and Kern. The 

wetland habitat areas that may receive 

the water are located in Merced, Fresno, 

Tulare, and Kern counties. Water 

purchased for use by Reclamation and/

or DWR for the EWA may be provided 

to CVP contractors in the West San 

Joaquin and San Felipe divisions to 

replace water bypassed at Tracy 

Pumping Plant pursuant to EWA fish 

protection actions. 

The Draft EIS/EIR addressed impacts 

associated with water development by 

the Exchange Contractors and related 

effects associated with water use by CVP 

contractors and the wildlife refuges. 

Resources evaluated for potential direct 

and indirect effects from the proposed 

transfer program include: surface water, 

groundwater, biological (vegetation, 

wildlife, and fisheries), air quality, land 

use (including agriculture), 

socioeconomics, Indian Trust Assets, 

and environmental justice. An 

evaluation of cumulative hydrologic and 

water service area impacts associated 

with reasonably foreseeable actions is 

included also. 

One public hearing was held on July 

7, 2004 in Los Banos, California. 

Copies of the Final EIS/EIR are 

available for public inspection and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Commission instituted this investigation 

on June 8, 2004, based on a complaint 

filed by Thomas J. Baumgartner and 

Hillbilly Smokehouse, Inc., both of 

Rogers, Arkansas, 69 FR 32044. The 

complaint alleges violations of section 

337 in the importation into the United 

States, sale for importation, or sale 

within the United States after 

importation of certain pet food treats 

that infringe U.S. Design Patent No. 

383,886. The notice of investigation lists 

six companies as respondents, including 

TsingTao China. 

On August 18, 2004, complainants 

moved pursuant to section 337(g) and 

Commission rule 210.16(b) for issuance 

of an order directing, inter alia,

TsingTao China, to show cause why it 

should not be found in default. 

Complainants noted that TsingTao 

China had not responded to the 

complaint and notice of investigation. 

On August 30, 2004, the Commission 

investigative attorney filed a response 

supporting complainant’s motion for an 

order requiring TsingTao China to show 

cause why it should not be held in

Order No. 6, which ordered TsingTao 

China to show cause by October 12, 

2004, why it should not be found in 

default. TsingTao China did not respond 

to the order to show cause. On 

November 19, 2004, the ALJ issued an 

ID (Order No. 8) finding TsingTao China 

in default. Under Commission rule 

210.16(b)(3), TsingTao China is deemed 

to have waived its right to appear, to be 

served with documents, and to contest 

the allegations at issue in this 

investigation. No petitions for review of 

the ID were filed.
