Commission’s web site.

known individuals were identified. No

associated funerary objects are present.

In 1931 and 1932, human remains

representing two individuals were

excavated from Yukon Island,

Kachemak Bay, AK by Frederica De

Laguna under the auspices of the

University of Pennsylvania Museum. No

known individuals were identified. No

associated funerary objects are present.

The seven cultural items include

beads, stone tools, and a bone needle.

These cultural items were excavated

from Yukon Island, Kachemak Bay, AK

by Frederica De Laguna under the

auspices of the University of

Pennsylvania Museum. Although these

items are recorded as burial objects,

they cannot be associated with any of

the above human remains.

The 11 cultural items include labrets,

and stone and bone tools. These cultural

items were excavated from Yukon

Island, Kachemak Bay, AK by Frederica

De Laguna under the auspices of the

University of Pennsylvania Museum. In

1993, the human remains recovered

with these cultural items were

repatriated from the University of

Pennsylvania Museum to the Chugach

Alaska Corporation.

Based on archaeological evidence and

material culture, these sites on Yukon

Island have been identified as

Kachemak Bay Pacific Eskimo

occupations dated to 1800 B.C.–1100

A.D.

In 1931 and 1932, human remains

representing eight individuals were

excavated at Cottonwood Creek on the

north shore of Kachemak Bay, AK by

Frederica De Laguna under the auspices

of the University of Pennsylvania

Museum. No known individuals were

identified. The five associated funerary

objects include shell beads, whale bone

and antler tools.

The one cultural item is a slate blade.

This cultural item is associated with

previously repatriated human remains

from Cottonwood Creek, Yukon Island,

AK from the University of Pennsylvania

Museum to the Chugach Alaska

Corporation in 1993.

Based on archaeological evidence and

analysis of the associated and

unassociated funerary objects, these

individuals from Cottonwood Creek are

Native American dating to the

Kachemak Bay Eskimo Tradition (1800

B.C.–1100 A.D.).

Based on the above mentioned

information, officials of the University

of Pennsylvania Museum have

determined that, pursuant to 43 CFR

10.2(d)(1), the human remains listed

above represent the physical remains of

23 individuals of Native American

ancestry. Officials of the University of

Pennsylvania Museum have also

determined that, pursuant to 43 CFR

10.2(d)(2), the 41 objects listed above

are reasonably believed to have been

placed with or near individual human

remains at the time of death or later as

part of the death rite or ceremony.

Officials of the University of

Pennsylvania Museum have determined

that, pursuant to 43 CFR 10.2(d)(2)(ii),

these seven cultural items are

reasonably believed to have been placed

with or near individual human remains

at the time of death or later as part of

the death rite or ceremony and are

believed, by a preponderance of the

evidence, to have been removed from a

specific burial site of a Native American

individual. Lastly, officials of the

University of Pennsylvania Museum

have determined that, pursuant to 43

CFR 10.2(e), there is a relationship of

shared group identity which can be

reasonably traced between these Native

American human remains, associated

funerary objects, unassociated funerary

objects and the Chugach Alaska

Corporation.

This notice has been sent to officials

of the Chugach Alaska Corporation, the

Chugach Heritage Foundation, the Cook

Inlet Regional Corporation, Koniag

Incorporated, the Village of Salamatoff,

the Seldovia Village Tribe, the Native

Village of Port Graham, the Kenaitze

Indian Tribe, the Native Village of

Nanwalek (aka English Bay), and the

Kodiak Tribal Council. Representatives

of any other Indian tribe that believes

itself to be culturally affiliated with

these human remains, associated

funerary objects, and unassociated

funerary objects should contact Dr.

Jeremy Sabloff, the Williams Director,

University of Pennsylvania Museum of

Archaeology and Anthropology, 33rd

and Spruce Streets, Philadelphia, PA

19104–6324; telephone: (215) 898–4051,

fax (215) 898–0657, before May 26,

2000. Repatriation of the human

remains, associated funerary objects,

and unassociated funerary objects to

Chugach Alaska Corporation may begin

after that date if no additional claimants

come forward.

Dated: April 10, 2000.

the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C.

1675(c)(3)) (the Act) to determine

whether revocation of the antidumping

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On April 6, 2000, the Commission

determined that the domestic interested

party group response to its notice of

institution (64 FR 73576, December 30,

1999) was adequate and the respondent

interested party group response was

inadequate. The Commission did not

find any other circumstances that would

warrant conducting a full review.1

Accordingly, the Commission

determined that it would conduct an

Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 81 / Wednesday, April 26, 2000 / Notices 24505

2The Commission has found the response

submitted by PACE Local 2–00948 to be

individually adequate. Comments from other

interested parties will not be accepted (see 19 CFR

207.62(d)(2)).

1The record is defined in sec. 207.2(f) of the

Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure (19

CFR 207.2(f)).

2 Vice Chairman Miller and Commissioner Askey

determined that there is no potential for subject

imports from Thailand to imminently account for

more than 3 percent of the volume of all such

merchandise imported into the United States.

3Commissioners Hillman, Koplan, and Okun

made this finding with Chairman Bragg dissenting.

Chairman Bragg found that there is a reasonable

indication that an industry in the United States is

threatened with material injury by reason of

imports from Thailand that are alleged to be sold

at LTFV.

4 Vice Chairman Miller and Commissioner Askey

found that subject imports are negligible and do not

reach the issue of a reasonable indication of threat

of material injury by reason of subject imports from

Thailand.

5The Committee is comprised of the following

U.S. producers: Bergen Cable Technology, Inc.;

Bridon American Corp.; Carolina Steel & Wire

Corp.; Continental Cable Co.; Loos & Co., Inc.;

Paulsen Wire Rope Corp.; Sava Industries, Inc.;

Strandflex, A Division of MSW, Inc.; and Wire Rope

Corp. of America, Inc.

will be issued thereafter, pursuant to

section 207.62(d)(4) of the

Commission’s rules.

Written Submissions

As provided in section 207.62(d) of

the Commission’s rules, interested

parties that are parties to the review and

that have provided individually

results of its review, the deadline for

comments (which may not contain new

factual information) on Commerce’s

final results is three business days after

the issuance of Commerce’s results. If

comments contain business proprietary

information (BPI), they must conform

with the requirements of sections 201.6,

207.3, and 207.7 of the Commission’s

rules. The Commission’s rules do not

authorize filing of submissions with the

Secretary by facsimile or electronic

means.

In accordance with sections 201.16(c)

and 207.3 of the rules, each document

filed by a party to the review must be

served on all other parties to the review

(as identified by either the public or BPI

service list), and a certificate of service

INTERNATIONAL TRADE

COMMISSION

[Investigations Nos. 731–TA–868–871

(Preliminary)]

Steel Wire Rope From China, India,

Malaysia, and Thailand

Determinations

On the basis of the record 1 developed

in the subject investigations, the United

States International Trade Commission

determines, pursuant to section 733(a)

of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C.

1673b(a)), that there is a reasonable

indication that an industry in the

United States is materially injured or

threatened with material injury by

reason of imports from China, India, and

Malaysia of steel wire rope, provided for

in subheadings 7312.10.60 and

7312.10.90 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).

The Commission further determines,

pursuant to 19 U.S.C. 1677(24)(A), that

the subject imports from Thailand that

are alleged to be sold at LTFV are

negligible, but that there is a potential

that subject imports from Thailand will

imminently account for more than 3

percent of the volume of all such

merchandise imported into the United

States.2 The Commission further

determines either that there is no

reasonable indication that an industry

in the United States is threatened with

material injury by reason of imports of

steel wire rope from Thailand 3 or that

such imports are negligible.4

Commencement of Final Phase

Investigations

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 the investigations

under section 733(b) of the Act, or, if the

preliminary determinations are

negative, upon notice of affirmative

final determinations in the

investigations under section 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

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 March 1, 2000, a petition was filed

with the Commission and the

Department of Commerce by The

Committee of Domestic Steel Wire Rope

and Specialty Cable Manufacturers

(Committee),5 Washington, DC, alleging

that an industry in the United States is

materially injured or threatened with

material injury by reason of LTFV

imports of steel wire rope from China,

India, Malaysia, and Thailand.

Accordingly, effective March 1, 2000,

the Commission instituted antidumping

duty investigations Nos. 731–TA–868–

871 (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 March 9, 2000 (65

FR 12575). The conference was held in

Washington, DC, on March 22, 2000,
