Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 18 / Thursday, January 29, 2009 / Notices 5181 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This EIS 

and plan describes four alternatives for 

the management of deer at the 

Lakeshore. Action is needed at this time 

to ensure that the local deer population 

does not become a dominant force that 

negatively influences ecosystem 

components within the Lakeshore, such 

as sensitive vegetation or other wildlife. 

Impacts to these Lakeshore resources 

would compromise the Lakeshore’s 

purpose to preserve the exceptional 

biodiversity found within its 

boundaries. The Lakeshore staff 

currently implements resource 

management actions to protect other 

resources but no specific deer 

management plan exists. 

Under Alternative A (no action), 

current deer management actions 

(including limited fencing, limited use 

of repellents, and inventorying and 

monitoring efforts) would continue; no 

new deer management actions would be 

taken. Alternative B would include all 

actions described under alternative A, 

but would also incorporate non-lethal 

actions to possibly reduce deer numbers 

in the Lakeshore. The additional actions 

would include the construction of 

additional small- and new large-scale 

exclosures, more extensive use of 

repellents in areas where fenced 

exclosures would not be appropriate or 

feasible, and phasing in reproductive 

control of does when there is a federally 

approved fertility control agent for 

application to free-ranging populations 

that provides multi-year (more than four 

years) efficacy for does. Alternative C 

would include all actions described 

under alternative A, but would also 

incorporate a direct reduction of the 

deer herd size through sharpshooting 

and capture/euthanasia, where 

appropriate. Alternative D would also 

include all the actions described under 

alternative A, but would incorporate a 

combination of specific lethal and nonlethal actions from alternatives B and C. 

These actions would include the 

reduction of the deer herd through 

sharpshooting, in combination with 

capture/euthanasia and phasing in 

reproductive control of does (as 

described in alternative B) for longerterm maintenance of lower herd 

numbers when there is a federally 

approved fertility control agent for 

application to free-ranging populations 

that provides multi-year (more than four 

years) efficacy for does. 

The potential environmental 

consequences of the alternatives are 

addressed for vegetation, soils and water 

quality, white-tailed deer, other wildlife 

and wildlife habitat, sensitive and rare 

species, archeological resources, 

cultural landscapes, visitor use and 

experience, social values, visitor and 

employee health and safety, 

soundscapes, socioeconomic conditions, 

and national Lakeshore management 

and operations.

INTERNATIONAL TRADE 

COMMISSION 

[Investigation Nos. 731–TA–1014, 1016, 

1017 (Review)] 

In the Matter of Polyvinyl Alcohol From 

China, Japan, and Korea; Notice of 

Commission Determination To 

Conduct a Portion of the Hearing in 

camera 

AGENCY: U.S. International Trade 

Commission. 

ACTION: Closure of a portion of a 

Commission hearing. 

SUMMARY: Upon its own initiative, the 

Commission has determined to conduct 

a portion of its hearing in the abovecaptioned reviews scheduled for 

January 27, 2009, in camera. See 

Commission rules 207.24(d), 207.66(b), 

201.13(m) and 201.36(b)(4) (19 CFR 

207.24(d), 207.66(b), 201.13(m) and 

201.36(b)(4)). The remainder of the 

hearing will be open to the public. The 

Commission has determined that the 

seven-day advance notice of the change 

to a meeting was not possible. See 

Commission rule 201.35(a), (c)(1) (19 

CFR 201.35(a), (c)(1)). 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Mary Jane Alves, Office of the General 

Counsel, United States International 

Trade Commission, 202–708–2969. 

Hearing-impaired individuals are 

advised that information on this matter 

may be obtained by contacting the 

Commission’s TDD terminal on 202– 

205–3105. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In these 

reviews, there are only three domestic 

PVA producers, of which only two sell 

in the commercial market. There is only 

one producer of subject merchandise in 

Korea. Only one of several foreign 

producers in China and only one of four 

producers of subject merchandise in 

Japan submitted questionnaire 

responses in these reviews. In addition, 

there are only a limited number of 

importers of polyvinyl alcohol into the 

United States. Because much of the data 

in these reviews is confidential, the 

Commission believes that a closed 

session is justified by the need to 

discuss data that involve business 

proprietary information (BPI) 

concerning imports, individual foreign 

industries, the domestic industry, and 

prices. In making this decision, the 

Commission nevertheless reaffirms its 

belief that whenever possible its 

business should be conducted in public. 

The hearing will include the usual 

public presentations by parties 

supporting continuation of the 

antidumping duty orders and those in 

support of revocation of these orders, 

with questions from the Commission. In 

addition, the hearing will include a ten 

minute in camera session for a 

confidential presentation by parties 

supporting revocation of the 

antidumping duty orders. This session 

will be followed by questions from the 

Commission relating to the BPI and a 

ten-minute in camera rebuttal 

presentation by parties supporting 

continuation of the orders, if needed. 

Following the in camera session, the 

Commission will reopen the hearing to 

the public for the public rebuttal/closing 

statements. During the in camera 

session, the room will be cleared of all 

persons except those who have been 

granted access to BPI under a 

Commission administrative protective 

order (APO) and are included on the 

Commission’s APO service list in these 

reviews. See 19 CFR 201.35(b). The time 

for the parties’ presentations and 

rebuttals in the in camera session will 

be taken from their respective overall 

time allotments for the hearing. All 

persons planning to attend the in 

camera portions of the hearing should 

be prepared to present proper 

identification.
