DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

Rural Utilities Service

Dairyland Power Cooperative; Notice

of Intent

AGENCY: Rural Utilities Service, USDA.

ACTION: Notice of Intent to Hold Scoping

Meeting and Prepare an Environmental

Assessment.

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that

the Rural Utilities Service (RUS),

pursuant to the National Environmental

Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 (42 U.S.C.

4321 et seq.), the Council on

Environmental Quality (CEQ)

Regulations for implementing NEPA (40

CFR parts 1500–1508), and RUS

Environmental Policies and Procedures

(7 CFR Part 1794) proposes to hold a

scoping meeting and prepare an

Environmental Assessment (EA) for its

Federal action related to a project

proposed by Dairyland Power

Cooperative (DPC) of La Crosse,

Wisconsin. The project consists of

constructing a natural gas-fired simple

cycle, combustion turbine power

generation facility in Wheaton

Township in Chippewa County,

Wisconsin. Total electrical output from

the facility is expected to range from 71

megawatts (MW) to 98 MW depending

upon operating conditions.

DATES: RUS will conduct a scoping

meeting in open house forum on

Tuesday, July 11, 2000, from 5 p.m.

until 8 p.m.

ADDRESSES: The scoping meeting will be

held at the Chippewa County

Courthouse, 711 North Bridge Street,

Chippwea Falls, Wisconsin.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DPC

proposes to construct the facility at a

site in Wheaton Township in Chippewa

County, Wisconsin. The preferred site is

the location of DPC’s Elk Mound

Substation. The primary purpose of the

facility is to meet DPC peak electrical

load during hot summer weather. Under

those conditions the facility’s expected

output is about 71 MW of power. The

proposed project will consist of two

simple cycle combustion turbines. The

two turbines will have a maximum

rating of 49 MW each, with a

summertime rating of 35.5 MW. The

plant will require approximately 5 acres

of land. The substation facilities will

also require some upgrading. A 2.2

miles long new high-pressure gas line

from the proposed generating station

north to an existing gas line will provide

gas supply. The total water usage will be

approximately 3 million gallons per

year.

Alternatives to be considered by RUS

and DPC include no action, purchased

power, upgrade of existing resources,

alternative sites, hydropower, fossil fuel

technologies, customer-owned

generation, energy conservation,

renewable resources, and emerging

technologies.

DPC has prepared an Alternative

Evaluation and Site Selection Study for

the project. The Alternative Evaluation

and Site Selection Study is available for

public review at the RUS or DPC at the

addresses provided in this notice or at

the following locations:

Chippewa Falls Public Library, 105

West Central Street, Chippewa Falls,

Wisconsin.

L. E. Phillips Memorial Public Library,

400 Eau Claire Street, Eau Claire,

Wisconsin.

Federal, state and local agencies,

private organizations, and the public are

invited to participate in the planning

and analysis of the proposed project.

Representatives from RUS and DPC will

be available at the scoping meeting to

discuss RUS’s environmental review

process, the proposed project and the

alternatives being considered, scope of

the environmental issues to be

considered, and answer questions. Oral

and written comments will be accepted

at the scoping meeting. Written

comments regarding the proposed

project will also be accepted for at least

30 days after the scoping meeting. All

written comments should be sent to

RUS at the address provided in this

notice.

Any final action by RUS related to the

proposed project will be subject to, and

contingent upon, compliance with all

relevant Federal environmental laws

and regulations and completion of

environmental review procedures as

prescribed by the CEQ Regulations and

RUS Environmental Policies and

Procedures.

[A–570–830]

Continuation of Antidumping Duty

Order: Coumarin From the People’s

Republic of China

AGENCY: Import Administration,

International Trade Administration,

Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of Continuation of

Antidumping Duty Order: Coumarin

from the People’s Republic of China.

SUMMARY: On May 4, 2000, the

Department of Commerce (‘‘the

Department’’), pursuant to sections

751(c) and 752 of the Tariff Act of 1930,

as amended (‘‘the Act’’), determined

that revocation of the antidumping duty

order on coumarin from the People’s

Republic of China (‘‘China’’) is likely to

lead to continuation or recurrence of

dumping (65 FR 25906). On June 7,

2000, the International Trade

Commission (‘‘the Commission’’),

pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act,

determined 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 United

States within a reasonably foreseeable

time (65 FR 36163). Therefore, pursuant

to 19 CFR 351.218(f)(4), the Department

is publishing notice of the continuation

of the antidumping duty order on

coumarin from China.

EFFECTIVE DATE: June 21, 2000.
