package that was sent to the project

mailing list and available at open

houses in Petersburg and Kake, Alaska.

The scoping process includes: (1)

Identification of potential issues; (2)

identification of issues to be analyzed in

depth; and (3) elimination of

insignificant issues or those which have

been covered by a previous

environmental review. For the Forest

Service to best use the scoping input,

comments should be received by July 7,

2000 (30 days from expected

publication).

Based on results of scoping and the

resource capabilities within the project

area, alternatives including a ‘‘no

action’’ alternative will be developed for

the Draft Environmental Impact

Statement. The Draft Environmental

Impact Statement is projected to be filed

with the Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA) in the summer of 2000.

Subsistence hearings as provided for in

Title VIII, Section 810 of the Alaska

National Interest Lands Conservation

Act (ANILCA), will occur, if necessary,

during the comment period on the Draft

Environmental Impact Statement. The

Final Environmental Impact Statement

and Record of Decision are anticipated

to be published in March, 2001. The comment period on the Draft

Environmental Impact Statement will be

45 days from the date the

Environmental Protection Agency

publishes the notice of availability in

the Federal Register. The Forest Service believes, at this

early stage, it is important to give

reviewers notice of several court rulings

related to public participation in the

environmental review process. First,

reviewers of Draft Environmental

Impact Statements must structure their

participation in the environmental

review of the proposal so that it is

meaningful and alerts an agency to the

reviewer’s position and contentions.

Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Corp. v.

NRDC, 435 U.S. 519, 553, (1978).

Environmental objections that could

have been raised at the Draft

Environmental Impact Statement stage

may be waived or dismissed by the

courts. City of Angoon v. Hodel, 803

F.2nd 1016, 1022 (9th Cir. 1986) and

Wisconsin Heritages, Inc. v. Harris, 490

F. Supp. 1334 (E.D. Wis. 1980). Because

of these court rulings, it is very

important that those interested in this

proposed action participate by the close

of the 45-day comment period so that

substantive comments and objections

are made available to the Forest Service

at a time when it can meaningfully

consider them and respond to them in

the Final Environmental Impact

Statement.

To assist the Forest Service in

identifying and considering issues and

concerns of the proposed action,

comments during scoping and

comments on the Draft Environmental

Impact Statement should be as specific

as possible. It is also helpful if

comments refer to specific pages or

chapters of the Draft Environmental

Impact Statement. Comments may also

address the adequacy of the Draft

Environmental Impact Statement or the

merits of the alternatives formulated

and discussed in the statement.

Reviewers may wish to refer to the

Council on Environmental Quality

Regulations for implementing the

procedural provisions of the National

Environmental Policy Act at 40 CFR

1503.3 in addressing these points.

Comments received in response to this

solicitation, including names and

addresses of those who comment, will

be considered part of the public record

on this proposed action and will be

available for public inspection.

Comments submitted anonymously will

be accepted and considered; however,

those who submit anonymous

comments will not have standing to

appeal the subsequent decision under

36 CFR Parts 215 or 217. Additionally,

pursuant to 7 CFR 1.27(d), any person

may request the agency to withhold a

submission from the public record by

showing how the Freedom of

Information Act (FOIA) permits such

confidentiality. Requesters should be

aware that, under FOIA, confidentiality

may be granted in only very limited

circumstances, such as to protect trade

secrets. The Forest Service will inform

the requester of the agency’s decision

regarding the request for confidentiality,

and where the request is denied, the

agency will return the submission and

notify the requester that the comments

may be resubmitted with or without

name and address within 7 days.

Permits required for implementation

include the following:

1. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

—Approval of discharge of dredged or fill

material into the waters of the United

States under Section 404 of the Clean

Water Act;

—Approval of the construction of structures

or work in navigable waters of the United

States under Section 10 of the Rivers and

Harbors Act of 1899;

2. Environmental Protection Agency

Preliminary Results of Antidumping

Duty Administrative Review and Notice

of Intent Not To Revoke Order in Part

AGENCY: Import Administration,

International Trade Administration,

Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of Preliminary Results of

Antidumping Duty Administrative

Review and Notice of Intent Not to

Revoke Order in Part.

SUMMARY: In response to requests from

one manufacturer/exporter and one U.S.

producer of the subject merchandise,

the Department of Commerce (‘‘the

Department’’) is conducting an

administrative review of the

antidumping duty order on dynamic

random access memory semiconductors

of one megabit or above (‘‘DRAMs’’)

from the Republic of Korea (‘‘Korea’’).

The review covers two manufacturers/

exporters and four resellers of subject

merchandise to the United States during

the period of review (‘‘POR’’), May 1,

1998 through April 30, 1999. Based

upon our analysis, the Department has

preliminarily determined that dumping

margins exist for both manufacturers/

exporters and the four resellers during

the POR. If these preliminary results are

adopted in our final results of

administrative review, we will instruct

the United States Customs Service

(‘‘Customs’’) to assess antidumping

duties as appropriate. Interested parties

are invited to comment on these

preliminary results. Parties who submit

arguments in this proceeding are

requested to submit with the argument

(1) a statement of the issue, and (2) a

brief summary of the argument.

EFFECTIVE DATE: June 6, 2000.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Applicable Statute and Regulations

Unless otherwise stated, all citations

to the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended

(‘‘the Act’’), are references to the

provisions as of January 1, 1995, the

effective date of the amendments made

to the Act by the Uruguay Round

Agreements Act (‘‘URAA’’). In addition,

unless otherwise indicated, all

references to the regulations of the

Department are to 19 CFR part 351

(1999).

Background

On May 10, 1993, the Department

published in the Federal Register (58

FR 27250) the antidumping duty order

on DRAMs from Korea. On May 28,

1999, the petitioner, Micron Technology

Inc., (‘‘Micron’’) requested an

administrative review of Hyundai

Electronics Industries Co., Ltd.

(‘‘Hyundai’’) and LG Semicon Co., Ltd.

(‘‘LG’’), Korean manufacturers of

DRAMs, and four Korean resellers of

DRAMs, the G5 Corporation (‘‘G5’’),

Kim’s Marketing, Jewon Trading

(‘‘Jewon’’), and Wooyang Industry Co.,

Ltd. (‘‘Wooyang’’), for the period May 1,

1998 through April 30, 1999.

Additionally, the petitioner requested a

cost investigation of LG and Hyundai

pursuant to section 773(b) of the Act.

On May 28, 1999, LG requested that the

Department conduct a review of its

exports of the subject merchandise to

the United States. On May 28, 1999, LG

also submitted a timely request that the

order be revoked with respect to LG. LG

based its revocation request on its

appeal of the Department’s inclusion of

unreported sales in the fourth review

which, LG claimed, if successful, would

result in a de minimis margin in the

fourth review for LG; and the final

results of the fifth review, which had

not been issued at the time of LG’s

revocation request. On June 30, 1999 (64

FR 35124), the Department initiated an

administrative review of Hyundai, LG,

G5, Kim’s Marketing, Jewon, and

Wooyang, including cost investigations

of Hyundai and LG, covering the POR.

On November 17, 1999, Micron

submitted a request for postponement of

the preliminary results. On December

20, 1999, the Department published in

the Federal Register (64 FR 7111) a

notice extending the time for the

preliminary results from January 30,

2000, until May 30, 2000. The

Department is conducting this review in

accordance with section 751 of the Act.

Scope of the Review

Imports covered by the review are

shipments of DRAMs from Korea.

Included in the scope are assembled and

unassembled DRAMs. Assembled

DRAMs include all package types.

Unassembled DRAMs include processed

wafers, uncut die, and cut die.

Processed wafers produced in Korea,

but packaged or assembled into memory

modules in a third country, are included

in the scope; wafers produced in a third

country and assembled or packaged in

Korea are not included in the scope.

The scope of this review includes

memory modules. A memory module is

a collection of DRAMs, the sole function

of which is memory. Modules include

single in-line processing modules

(‘‘SIPs’’), single in-line memory modules

(‘‘SIMMs’’), or other collections of

DRAMs, whether unmounted or

mounted on a circuit board. Modules

that contain other parts that are needed

to support the function of memory are

covered. Only those modules which

contain additional items which alter the

function of the module to something

other than memory, such as video

graphics adapter (‘‘VGA’’) boards and

cards, are not included in the scope.

The scope of this review also includes

video random access memory

semiconductors (‘‘VRAMS’’), as well as

any future packaging and assembling of

DRAMs; and, removable memory
