SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

A petition has been filed under 

section 177.13, CBP regulations (19 CFR 

177.13), on behalf of Yara North 

America, Inc. (‘‘Yara’’). Yara is a subset 

of Yara International ASA, a global firm 

specializing in agricultural products and 

environmental protection agents. It is a 

supplier of mineral fertilizers. As an 

importer of these products, Yara has 

received inconsistent classification 

decisions on its merchandise at different 

ports. As such, Yara meets the 

requirements as an interested party set 

forth in 19 CFR 177.13(a)(2) and 19 

U.S.C. 1514(c) and meets the 

requirements regarding the types of 

decisions subject to petition set forth in 

19 CFR 177.13(a)(1) and 19 U.S.C. 

1514(a). Furthermore, having filed this 

petition within 90 days of the latest 

decision it received from a port, Yara 

meets the timeliness requirements of 19 

CFR 177.13(a)(3). Lastly, Yara also 

meets the requirements of 19 CFR 

177.13(b)(2), and specifically 19 CFR 

177.13(b)(2)(i) in that their petition 

contains a complete description of the 

inconsistent decisions of which they 

complain. Their petition includes 

enough information to demonstrate the 

inconsistency of the decisions at the 

Ports. Furthermore, the company has 

submitted a sample that has been tested 

at Customs and Border Protection 

(‘‘CBP’’) laboratories. Yara is requesting 

that CBP classify the imported 

merchandise in subheading 3102.60.00, 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS). 

This transaction in particular 

concerns Yara’s importation of CN–9 

Solution, a hydrated ammonium 

calcium nitrate double salt that is 

primarily used as a fertilizer but is also 

used for waste water treatment. Yara 

entered the subject merchandise at the 

Port of Long Beach between January 24, 

2009 and September 8, 2009, and the 

Port of Baltimore on April 20, 2010, 

under subheading 3102.60.00, HTSUS, 

as ‘‘Mineral or chemical fertilizers, 

nitrogenous: Double salts and mixtures 

of calcium nitrate and ammonium 

nitrate.’’ Citing Legal Note 2(a)(v) to 

Chapter 31, HTSUS, the Port of Long 

Beach liquidated the subject 

merchandise as entered. 

Citing Legal Note 5 to Chapter 28, 

HTSUS, the Port of Baltimore liquidated 

the subject merchandise under 

subheading 2842.90.90, HTSUS, as 

‘‘Other salts of inorganic acids or 

peroxoacids (including aluminosilicates 

whether or not chemically defined), 

other than azides: Other: Other.’’ 

Comments 

Pursuant to section 177.13(c), CBP 

regulations (19 CFR 177.13(c)), before 

making a determination on this matter, 

CBP invites written comments on this 

petition to resolve inconsistent CBP 

decisions. 

The comments received in response to 

this notice, will be available for public

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The SHOP 

program provides grants to national and 

regional nonprofit organizations and 

consortia that have experience in 

providing self-help housing. Grant 

funds are used to purchase land and 

install or improve infrastructure, which 

together may not exceed an average 

investment of $15,000 per dwelling 

unit. Low-income homebuyers 

contribute a minimum of 100 hours of 

sweat equity on the construction of their 

homes and/or the homes of other 

homebuyers participating in the local 

self-help housing program. Sweat equity 

can include, but is not limited to, 

assisting in the painting, carpentry, trim 

work, drywall, roofing and siding for the 

housing. Persons with disabilities can 

substitute administrative tasks. Donated 

volunteer labor is also required. 

The SHOP funds together with the 

sweat equity and volunteer labor 

contributions significantly reduce the 

cost of the housing for the low-income 

homebuyers. The FY 2010 awards 

announced in this Notice were selected 

for funding in the NOFA competition 

posted on February 1, 2011, on the 

grants.gov website. Applications were 

scored and selected for funding based 

on the selection criteria in the General 

Section and the SHOP program NOFA. 

The amount appropriated in FY 2010 

to fund the SHOP grants was 

$26,730,000. The allocations for SHOP 

grantees are as follows: 

Tierra del Sol Housing Corporation, 880 Anthony

Total ............................... 26,730,000 

These non-profit organizations 

propose to distribute SHOP funds to 

several hundred local affiliates that will 

acquire and prepare the land for 

construction, select homebuyers, 

coordinate the homebuyer sweat equity 

and volunteer efforts, and assist in the 

arrangement of interim and permanent 

financing for the homebuyers.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Introduction 

With this notice, we continue the CCP 

process for Kootenai National Wildlife 

Refuge. We started this process through 

a notice in the Federal Register (74 FR 

8102; February 23, 2009). 

Kootenai NWR encompasses 2,774 

acres along the lower Kootenai River in 

Boundary County, ID. Habitat types on 

the refuge include seasonal, 

semipermanent, and permanent 

wetlands; floodplain forests; coniferous 

forests; managed pastures; and 

croplands. The refuge was established 

‘‘for use as an inviolate sanctuary, or for 

any other management purpose, for 

migratory birds.’’ The refuge provides 

important habitat for waterbirds, 

migratory landbirds, and raptors; a 

variety of mammals including whitetailed deer, elk, and moose; and bull 

trout, which is listed as a threatened 

species under the Federal Endangered 

Species Act. 

Background 

The CCP Process 

The National Wildlife Refuge System 

Administration Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 

668dd–668ee) (Refuge Administration 

Act), as amended by the National 

Wildlife Refuge System Improvement 

Act of 1997, requires us to develop a 

CCP for each national wildlife refuge. 

The purpose for developing a CCP is to 

provide refuge managers with a 15-year 

plan for achieving refuge purposes and 

contributing toward the mission of the 

National Wildlife Refuge System, 

consistent with sound principles of fish 

and wildlife management, conservation, 

legal mandates, and our policies. In 

addition to outlining broad management 

direction on conserving wildlife and 

their habitats, CCPs identify compatible 

wildlife-dependent recreational 

opportunities available to the public, 

including opportunities for hunting, 

fishing, wildlife observation and 

photography, and environmental 

education and interpretation. We will 

review and update the CCP at least 

every 15 years in accordance with the 

Refuge Administration Act. 

Public Outreach 

We began public outreach by 

distributing Planning Update 1 to our 

mailing list and public outlets in 

January 2009. On January 23, 2009, we 

held two public scoping meetings in 

Bonners Ferry, Idaho, to meet the public 

and obtain comments. The meetings 

were announced through local media 

outlets, on the refuge’s Web site, and in 

Planning Update 1. We published a 

Notice of Intent in the Federal Register 

announcing our intent to prepare a CCP/
