SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Comments

are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed

collection of information is necessary

for the proper performance of the

functions of Reclamation, including

whether the information shall have

practical use; (b) the accuracy of

Reclamation’s estimated burden of the

proposed collection of information; (c)

ways to enhance the quality, use, and

clarity of the information to be

collected; and (d) ways to minimize the

burden of the collection of information

on those who are to respond, including

through the use of automated collection

techniques or other forms of information

technology.

Title: Diversons, Return Flow, and

Consumptive Use of Colorado River

Water in the Lower Colorado River

Basin.

OMB No.: 1006–0015.

Abstract: Reclamation delivers

Colorado River water to water users for

diversion and beneficial consumptive

use in the States of Arizona, California,

and Nevada. Under Supreme Court

order, the United States is required, at

least annually, to prepare and maintain

complete, detailed, and accurate records

of diversions of water, return flow, and

consumptive use. This information is

needed to ensure that a State or a water

user within a State does not exceed its

authorized use of Colorado River water.

Water users are obligated to provide

information on diversions and return

flows to Reclamation by provisions in

their water delivery contracts.

Reclamation determines the

consumptive use by subtracting return

flow from diversions or by other

engineering means. Without the

information collected, Reclamation

could not comply with the order of the

United States Supreme Court to prepare

and maintain detailed and accurate

records of diversions, return flow, and

consumptive use.

Description of respondents: The

Lower Basin States (Arizona, California,

and Nevada), local and tribal entities,

water districts, and individuals that use

Colorado River water.

Frequency: Annually, or otherwise as

determined by the Secretary of the

Interior.

Estimated completion time: An

average of 6 hours per respondent.

Annual responses: 54 respondents.

Annual burden hours: 290.

An Agency may not conduct or

sponsor, and a person is not required to

respond to, a collection of information

unless it displays a currently valid OMB

control number. Reclamation will

display a valid OMB control number on

the forms. The Federal Register notice

with a 60-day comment period soliciting

comments on this collection of

information was published on February

15, 2000 (65 FR 7562). Reclamation did

not receive any comments on this

collection of information during the

comment period.

OMB has up to 60 days to approve or

disapprove this information collection,

but may respond after 30 days,

therefore, public comment should be

submitted to OMB within 30 days in

order to assure maximum consideration.

INTERNATIONAL TRADE

COMMISSION

[Investigation No. 731–TA–677 (Review)]

Coumarin From China

Determination

On the basis of the record 1 developed

in the subject five-year review, the

United States International Trade

Commission determines, pursuant to

section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930

(19 U.S.C. 1675(c)), that revocation of

the antidumping duty order on

coumarin from China would be likely to

lead to continuation or recurrence of

material injury to an industry in the

36164 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 110 / Wednesday, June 7, 2000 / Notices

Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure (19

CFR § 207.2(f)).

2Commissioner Thelma J. Askey dissenting.

4For purposes of this review, the term

‘‘mechanical transfer press’’ (MTP) refers to

automatic metal-forming machine tools with

multiple die stations in which the workpiece is

moved from station to station by a transfer

mechanism designed as an integral part of the press

and synchronized with the press action, whether

imported as machines or parts suitable for use

solely or principally with these machines. These

presses may be assembled or unassembled.

Commerce published in the Federal Register

several Notices of Scope Rulings with respect to

MTPs from Japan and determined that: (1) spare

and replacement parts are outside the scope of the

order (57 FR 19602, May 7, 1992); (2) a destack

sheet feeder designed to be used with a mechanical

transfer press is an accessory and, therefore, is not

within the scope of the order (57 FR 32973, July 24,

1992); (3) the FMX cold-forging press is within the

scope of the order (59 FR 8910, February 24, 1994);

and (5) certain mechanical transfer press parts

exported from Japan are outside the scope of the

order (62 FR 9176, February 28, 1997).

Commerce’s scope identifies the Harmonized

Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS)

statistical reporting numbers for MTPs as

8462.99.0035, mechanical transfer presses, and

8466.94.5040, parts of mechanical transfer presses.

However, these numbers were replaced by

statistical reporting numbers 8462.99.8035,

8466.94.6040, and 8466.94.8040 on January 1, 1994.

Subsequently, on July 1, 1997, statistical reporting

numbers 8466.94.6040 and 8466.94.8040 were

replaced by statistical reporting numbers

8466.94.6540 and 8466.94.8540. For a further

explanation of these changes, see the U.S. Tariff

Treatment section presented later in this report. The

HTS numbers are provided for convenience and

customs purposes. The written description remains

dispositive.

Background

The Commission instituted this

would conduct an expedited review (65

FR 24504, April 26, 2000). The

Commission transmitted its

determination in this review to the

Secretary of Commerce on May 30,

2000. The views of the Commission are

In the Matter of Magnesium From

Canada; Notice of Commission

Determination Not To Conduct a

Portion of the Hearing in Camera

AGENCY: U.S. International Trade

Commission.

ACTION: Commission determination not

to close any part of the hearing to the

public.

SUMMARY: The Commission has

determined to deny the request of

respondents Gouvernement du Que ́bec

(‘‘Que ́bec’’) and Norsk Hydro Canada,

Inc. (‘‘NHCI’’), to conduct a portion of

its hearing in the above-captioned

reviews scheduled for May 31, 2000, in

camera. See Commission rules 201.13

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

201.36(b)(4)).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Andrea C. Casson, Office of General

Counsel, U.S. International Trade

Commission, telephone 202–205–3115,

e-mail acasson@usitc.gov. Hearingimpaired individuals are advised that

information on this matter may be

obtained by contacting the

Commission’s TDD terminal on 202–

205–1810.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Commission’s policy and practice is to

conduct its hearings in public except in

limited circumstances. See 19 CFR

201.36. The Commission’s Rules

provide for it to close hearings in where

a party identifies subjects to be

discussed during a closed session and

justifies the need for such a session. 19

CFR 207.24(d). Respondents did not

indicate the subjects on which they

intended to present testimony during

the closed session, and merely stated

that during a closed session information

covered by the administrative protective

order could be addressed as necessary.

Absent any identification of the subjects

to be discussed and an adequate

justification of the need for a closed

session, the Commission finds no reason

to depart from its ordinary practice of

holding fully open hearings. The

Commission has determined that the

public interest would be best served by

a hearing that is entirely open to the

public. See 19 CFR 201.36(c)(1).

Authority: This notice is provided

pursuant to Commission Rule 201.35(b) (19

CFR 201.35(b)).

Issued: May 30, 2000.

By order of the Commission.
