SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Project and the Grassland Drainage Area 

are located in Merced and Fresno 

Counties in the Central Valley of 

California. Prior to 1996 when the 

interim project was implemented, 

subsurface agricultural drainage water 

was conveyed through channels used to 

deliver water to wetland habitat areas 

which limited Reclamation’s ability to 

deliver fresh water to the wetlands. The 

Project now consolidates subsurface 

drainage flows on a regional basis (from 

the 97,000 acre Grassland Drainage Area 

[GDA]) after source control measures, 

applies the drainage to salt tolerant 

crops to reduce the volume, utilizes a 4- 

mile channel to place it into the Federal 

San Luis Drain (Drain) at a point near 

Russell Avenue, (Milepost 105.72, 

Check 19) and then utilizes a 28-mile 

segment of the Drain to convey the 

remaining drainage flows around 

wetland habitat areas, after which it is 

discharged to Mud Slough and 

subsequently reaches the San Joaquin 

River. The Project has reduced the 

volume of agricultural drainage water 

discharged from the GDA, resulting in 

significant environmental 

improvements to wetlands water supply 

channels and the San Joaquin River. 

The original Grassland Bypass Project 

was implemented in November 1995 

through an ‘‘Agreement for Use of the 

San Luis Drain’’ (Agreement No. 6–07– 

20-w1319) between Reclamation and the 

Authority. A Finding of No Significant 

Impact (FONSI No. 96–1–MP) was 

adopted by Reclamation for the original 

project and environmental 

commitments set forth in the FONSI 

were made an integral component of the 

initial Use Agreement. The Use 

Agreement allowed use of the Drain for 

a 5-year period that concluded 

September 30, 2001. A new Use 

Agreement (Agreement No. 01–WC–20– 

2075) was completed on September 28, 

2001, for the period through December 

31, 2009. The Project also includes a 

monitoring program with biological, 

water quality, and sediment 

components. Results of the monitoring 

program are reviewed by an Oversight 

Committee quarterly, or as necessary, to 

implement the Use Agreement. 

The Draft EIS/EIR considered the 

direct, indirect, and cumulative effects 

on the physical, natural, and human 

environment that may result from the 

continued use of the Grassland Bypass 

Channel and a 28-mile segment of the 

San Luis Drain; continued discharges to 

Mud Slough; sediment management 

options within that Drain segment; 

ongoing drainwater reuse and expansion 

of the San Joaquin River Water Quality 

Improvement Project reuse area to 6,900 

acres, and programmatic consideration 

of future phases of the treatment and 

disposal program. 

The Draft EIS/EIR addressed 

potentially significant environmental 

issues and recommends adequate and 

feasible mitigation measures to reduce 

or eliminate significant environmental 

impacts. The Draft EIS/EIR examined 

two other alternatives: No Action and 

the 2001 Requirements Alternative. This 

other action alternative would continue 

the selenium load reductions and 

incentive fees of the 2001 Use 

Agreement. 

A public meeting was held on 

February 10, 2009, in Los Banos, CA.

China and Mexico 

Determinations 

On the basis of the record 1 developed 

in the subject investigations, the United 

States International Trade Commission 

(Commission) determines, pursuant to 

sections 703(a) and 733(a) of the Tariff 

Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1671b(a) and 19 

U.S.C. 1673b(a)) (the Act), that there is 

a reasonable indication that an industry 

in the United States is materially 

injured,2 or threatened with material 

injury 3 by reason of imports from China 

and Mexico of certain magnesia carbon 

bricks, provided for in subheadings

6815.99.00 of the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States, that are 

alleged to be sold in the United States 

at less than fair value (LTFV) and 

subsidized by the Government of China. 

Commencement of Final Phase 

Investigation 

Pursuant to section 207.18 of the 

Commission’s rules, the Commission 

also gives notice of the commencement 

of the final phase of its investigations. 

The Commission will issue a final phase 

notice of scheduling, which will be 

published in the Federal Register as 

provided in section 207.21 of the 

Commission’s rules, upon notice from 

the Department of Commerce 

(Commerce) of affirmative preliminary 

determinations in these investigations 

under sections 703(b) and 733(b) of the 

Act, or, if the preliminary 

determinations are negative, upon 

notice of affirmative final 

determinations in those investigations 

under sections 705(a) and 735(a) of the 

Act. Parties that filed entries of 

appearance in the preliminary phase of 

the investigations need not enter a 

separate appearance for the final phase 

of the investigations. Industrial users, 

and, if the merchandise under 

investigation is sold at the retail level, 

representative consumer organizations 

have the right to appear as parties in 

Commission antidumping and 

countervailing duty investigations. The 

Secretary will prepare a public service 

list containing the names and addresses 

of all persons, or their representatives, 

who are parties to the investigations. 

Background 

On July 29, 2009, a petition was filed 

with the Commission and Commerce by 

Resco Products Inc., Pittsburgh, PA, 

alleging that an industry in the United 

States is materially injured or 

threatened with material injury by 

reason of subsidized imports of certain 

magnesia carbon bricks from China and 

LTFV imports of certain magnesia 

carbon bricks from China and Mexico. 

Accordingly, effective July 29, 2009, the 

Commission instituted countervailing 

duty investigation No. 701–TA–468 

(Preliminary) and antidumping duty 

investigation Nos. 731–TA–1166–1167 

(Preliminary). 

Notice of the institution of the 

Commission’s investigations and of a 

public conference 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 August 10, 2009 (74 

FR 39969). The conference was held in 

Washington, DC, on August 19, 2009, 

and all persons who requested the 

opportunity were permitted to appear in 

person or by counsel. 

The Commission transmitted its 

determinations in these investigations to 

the Secretary of Commerce on 

September 14, 2009. The views of the 

Commission are contained in USITC 

Publication 4100 (September 2009), 

entitled Certain Magnesia Carbon Bricks 

from China and Mexico: Investigation 

Nos. 701–TA–468 and 731–TA–1166– 

1167 (Preliminary). 

By order of the Commission.

whether there is a reasonable indication 

that an industry in the United States is 

materially injured or threatened with 

material injury, or the establishment of 

an industry in the United States is 

materially retarded, by reason of 

imports from China and/or Taiwan of 

certain standard steel fasteners

extends the time for initiation pursuant 

to sections 702(c)(1)(B) or 732(c)(1)(B) of 

the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671a(c)(1)(B) or

reach a preliminary determination in 

antidumping and countervailing duty 

investigations in 45 days, or in this case 

by November 9, 2009. The
