1For purposes of this investigation, extruded

rubber thread is defined as vulcanized rubber

thread, obtained by extrusion of stable or

concentrated natural rubber latex of any cross

sectional shape, measuring from 0.18 mm (which is

0.007 inch or 140 gauge) to 1.42 mm (which is 0.056

inch or 18 gauge) in diameter. Such extruded rubber

thread is classified in heading 4007.00.00 of the

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States

(HTS). Although the HTS category is provided for

convenience and Customs purposes, the written

description of the merchandise under investigation

is dispostive.

Measures To Minimize Harm

Numerous practical mitigation

measures to minimize or avoid potential

adverse effects of the Selected Action

are identified. As a result of public

collaboration in developing the Fort

Baker Plan, new measures were

developed and safeguards initially

noted in the Draft EIS were refined to be

more stringent in the Final EIS. One of

the new stipulations relates to the size

of the proposed retreat and conference

center—in response to public concern

about the 350 room maximum size

evaluated, the NPS is now committed to

working with the public in soliciting the

smallest possible, economically viable

retreat and conference center proposal

that fulfills Plan objectives. Additional

mitigations recommended by the public

or other agencies, or developed by the

NPS in response to issues of local

concern, were added in the Final EIS. In

total, more than 70 mitigation measures

have been included.

Moreover, the NPS is committed to

seeking and implementing innovative

approaches to reduce long-term

dependence on automobile use at Fort

Baker, to working cooperatively with

other agencies to seek regional solutions

to transportation challenges in the areas

surrounding Fort Baker, and to engaging

in studies to reduce or eliminate parking

and uncontrolled automobile traffic

within Fort Baker. The NPS is

specifically committed to working with

the City of Sausalito, the Marin County

Congestion Management Agency, the

Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and

Transportation District, Caltrans, and

the Metropolitan Transportation

Commission.

Copy of Complete Decision Available

The synopsis provided above

addresses only some of the

considerations made in selecting, as the

final Fort Baker Plan, the alternative

identified as the ‘‘Proposed Action’’ in

the Draft and Final EIS. Effecting the

Fort Baker Plan will not impair park

resources or values. Indeed, acting upon

this Plan will significantly enhance the

site’s natural and cultural resources. A

copy of the Record of Decision may be

requested from the Superintendent,

Golden Gate National Recreation Area,

Building 201, Ft. Mason, San Francisco,

CA 94123 (or may be obtained via

www.nps.gov/goga). The

Superintendent is responsible for plan

implementation.
