canceled. Moreover, in the event that 

there is no hearing, the Commission 

shall reference in this report relevant 

testimony from the April 27, 2004 

hearing. Any person interested in 

attending the hearing as an observer or 

nonparticipant may call the Secretary to 

the Commission (202–205–1816) after 

January 10, 2005 to determine whether 

the hearing will be held. 

Written Submissions: In lieu of or in 

addition to appearing at the public 

hearing, interested persons are invited 

to submit written statements concerning 

the investigation. Submissions should 

be addressed to the Secretary, United 

States International Trade Commission, 

500 E Street SW., Washington, DC 

20436. To be assured of consideration 

by the Commission, written statements 

related to the Commission’s report 

should be submitted to the Commission 

at the earliest practical date, and should 

be received by the close of business on 

January 26, 2005. All written 

submissions, including briefs, must 

conform with the provisions of section 

201.8 of the Commission’s Rules of 

Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 201.8). 

Section 201.8 of the rules require that a 

signed original (or copy designated as 

an original) and fourteen (14) copies of 

each document be filed. In the event 

that confidential treatment of the 

document is requested, at least four (4) 

additional copies must be filed, in 

which the confidential business 

information (CBI) must be deleted (see 

the following paragraph for further 

information regarding CBI). The 

Commission’s rules do not authorize 

filing submissions with the Secretary by 

facsimile or electronic means, except to 

the extent permitted by section 201.8 of 

the rules (see Handbook for Electronic 

Filing Procedures, ftp://ftp.usitc.gov/

pub/reports/

electronic_filing_handbook.pdf). 

Persons with questions regarding 

electronic filing should contact the

‘‘non-confidential’’ version, and that the 

CBI be clearly identified by means of 

brackets. All written submissions, 

except CBI, will be made available for 

inspection by interested parties. 

The report that the Commission sends 

to the President and the Congress will 

not contain CBI. Although the 

Commission may aggregate or otherwise 

use CBI it receives in the course of this 

investigation in preparing its report, the 

Commission will not publish CBI in the 

report in a manner that would reveal the 

operations of the firm supplying the 

information. The report will be made 

available to the public on the 

Commission’s Web site. 

The public record for this report may 

ve viewed on the Commission’s 

electronic docket (EDIS) at http://

INTERNATIONAL TRADE 

COMMISSION 

[Investigation No. 731–TA–1058 (Final)] 

Wooden Bedroom Furniture From 

China 

Determination 

On the basis of the record 1 developed 

in the subject investigation, the United 

States International Trade Commission 

(Commission) determines, 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 

materially injured by reason of imports 

from China of wooden bedroom 

furniture, provided for in subheadings 

9403.50.90 and 7009.92.50 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 31, 2003, 

following receipt of a petition filed with 

the Commission and Commerce by the 

American Furniture Manufacturers 

Committee for Legal Trade and its 

individual members; the Cabinet 

Makers, Millmen, and Industrial 

Carpenters, Local 721; the UBC 

Southern Council of Industrial Workers, 

Local 2305; the United Steelworkers of 

America, Local 193U; the Carpenters 

Industrial Union, Local 2093; the 

Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Warehousemen 

and Helpers, Local 991; and the IUE, 

Industrial Division of the CWA, Local 

82472. 

The final phase of the investigation 

was scheduled by the Commission 

following notification of a preliminary 

determination by Commerce that 

imports of wooden bedroom furniture 

from China 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 July 15, 2004 (69 FR 42452). 

The hearing was held in Washington, 

DC, on November 9, 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 December 

22, 2004. The views of the Commission 

are contained in USITC Publication 

3743 (December 2004), entitled Wooden 

Bedroom Furniture from China:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Introduction 

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission 

(NRC) is considering issuance of a 

license amendment to U.S. Army 

Research Development and Engineering 

Command (Army as the licensee) to 

amend its License No. 19–10306–02 to 

authorize decommissioning of Building 

7304 located in Fort Belvoir, Virginia, to 

allow the termination of this license. 

License No. 19–10306–02 authorizes 

the licensee to conduct research and 

development as defined in 10 CFR 30.4; 

provide teaching and training of 

students; conduct calibration and 

checking of licensee’s instruments; 

prepare low level counting standards; 

and demonstrate items being developed 

and/or tested. The Decommissioning 

Plan (DP) was submitted by the licensee 

on May 17, 2004. An NRC 

administrative review, documented in a 

letter to the U.S. Army Research 

Development and Engineering 

Command on August 24, 2004, found 

the DP acceptable to begin a technical 

review. 

If the NRC approves the DP, the 

authorization to dismantle and 

demolish Building 7304 will be 

documented in an amendment to NRC 

License No. 19–10306–02. However, 

before approving the proposed 

amendment, the NRC will need to make 

the findings required by the Atomic 

Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and 

NRC’s regulations. These findings will 

be documented in a Safety Evaluation 

Report and an Environmental 

Assessment. The license will be 

terminated following issuance of this 

amendment and following completion 

of decommissioning activities and 

verification by the NRC in accordance 

with 10 CFR 20.1401. 

II. Opportunity To Request a Hearing 

The NRC hereby provides notice that 

this is a proceeding on an application 

for a license amendment to License No. 

19–10306–02 to allow dismantlement 

and demolition of Building 7304 at the 

Army facility located in Fort Belvoir, 

Virginia. In accordance with the general 

requirements in Subpart C of 10 CFR 

Part 2, as amended on January 14, 2004 

(69 FR 2182), any person whose interest 

may be affected by this proceeding and 

who desires to participate as a party

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.309(b), 

a request for a hearing must be filed by 

February 28, 2005. 

In addition to meeting other 

applicable requirements of 10 CFR 

2.309, the general requirements 

involving a request for a hearing filed by 

a person other than an applicant must 

state: 

1. The name, address, and telephone 

number of the requester; 

2. The nature of the requester’s right 

under the Act to be made a party to the 

proceeding; 

3. The nature and extent of the 

requester’s property, financial or other 

interest in the proceeding; 

4. The possible effect of any decision 

or order that may be issued in the 

proceeding on the requester’s interest; 

and 

5. The circumstances establishing that 

the request for a hearing is timely in 

accordance with 10 CFR 2.309(b).

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.309(f)(1), 

a request for hearing or petitions for 

leave to intervene must set forth with 

particularity the contentions sought to 

be raised. For each contention, the 

request or petition must: 

1. Provide a specific statement of the 

issue of law or fact to be raised or 

controverted; 

2. Provide a brief explanation of the 

basis for the contention; 

3. Demonstrate that the issue raised in 

the contention is within the scope of the 

proceeding; 

4. Demonstrate that the issue raised in 

the contention is material to the 

findings that the NRC must make to 

support the action that is involved in 

the proceeding; 

5. Provide a concise statement of the 

alleged facts or expert opinions which 

support the requester’s/petitioner’s 

position on the issue and on which the 

requester/petitioner intends to rely to 

support its position on the issue; and 

6. Provide sufficient information to 

show that a genuine dispute exists with 

the applicant on a material issue of law 

or fact. This information must include 

references to specific portions of the 

application (including the applicant’s 

environmental report and safety report) 

that the requester/petitioner disputes 

and the supporting reasons for each 

dispute, or, if the requester/petitioner 

believes the application fails to contain 

information on a relevant matter as 

required by law, the identification of 

each failure and the supporting reasons 

for the requester’s/petitioner’s belief. 

In addition, in accordance with 10 

CFR 2.309(f)(2), contentions must be 

based on documents or other 

Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 248 / Tuesday, December 28, 2004 / Notices 77781

information available at the time the 

petition is to be filed, such as the 

application, supporting safety analysis 

report, environmental report or other 

supporting document filed by an 

applicant or licensee, or otherwise 

available to the petitioner. On issues 

arising under the National 

Environmental Policy Act, the 

requester/petitioner shall file 

contentions based on the applicant’s 

environmental report. The requester/

petitioner may amend those contentions 

or file new contentions if there are data 

or conclusions in the NRC draft, or final 

environmental impact statement, 

environmental assessment, or any 

supplements relating thereto, that differ 

significantly from the data or 

conclusions in the applicant’s 

documents. Otherwise, contentions may 

be amended or new contentions filed 

after the initial filing only with leave of 

the presiding officer. 

Each contention shall be given a 

separate numeric or alpha designation 

within one of the following groups: 

1. Technical—primarily concerns 

issues relating to matters discussed or 

referenced in the Safety Evaluation 

Report for the proposed action. 

2. Environmental—primarily concerns 

issues relating to matters discussed or 

referenced in the Environmental Report 

for the proposed action. 

3. Emergency Planning—primarily 

concerns issues relating to matters 

discussed or referenced in the 

Emergency Plan as it relates to the 

proposed action. 

4. Physical Security—primarily 

concerns issues relating to matters 

discussed or referenced in the Physical 

Security Plan as it relates to the 

proposed action. 

5. Miscellaneous—does not fall into 

one of the categories outlined above. 

If the requester/petitioner believes a 

contention raises issues that cannot be 

classified as primarily falling into one of 

these categories, the requester/petitioner 

must set forth the contention and 

supporting bases, in full, separately for 

each category into which the requester/

petitioner asserts the contention belongs 

with a separate designation for that 

category. 

Requesters/petitioners should, when 

possible, consult with each other in 

preparing contentions and combine 

similar subject matter concerns into a 

joint contention, for which one of the 

co-sponsoring requesters/petitioners is 

designated the lead representative. 

Further, in accordance with 10 CFR 

2.309(f)(3), any requester/petitioner that 

wishes to adopt a contention proposed 

by another requester/petitioner must do 

so in writing within ten days of the date 

the contention is filed, and designate a 

representative who shall have the 

authority to act for the requester/

petitioner. 

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.309(g), 

a request for hearing and/or petition for 

leave to intervene may also address the 

selection of the hearing procedures, 

taking into account the provisions of 10 

CFR 2.310. 

III. Opportunity To Provide Comments 

In accordance with 10 CFR 20.1405, 

the NRC is providing notice to 

individuals in the vicinity of the site 

that the NRC has received a license 

amendment request and 

decommissioning plan from the Army. 

The NRC will accept comments 

concerning this amendment request and 

DP. Comments with respect to this 

action should be provided in writing 

within 30 days of this notice and 

addressed to Mr. Tom McLaughlin, U.S. 

NRC, Washington, DC 20555–0001. 

Comments received after 30 days will be

only those comments received on or 

before the due date can be assured 

consideration.
