the futures prices for each of the 36

months after the marketability date. For

example, if the marketability date is

February 2, 1996 , the mineral examiner

will not use prices at which the mineral

commodity actually sold on the market

for the 36 months after the marketability

date. Instead, the examiner will use the

futures data that were reported on

February 2, 1996 . This policy is

designed to reflect the futures market

that the claimant faced on the

marketability date. We are using 36

months, or three years, of futures price

data because that is all that is usually

available.

The monthly average commodity

prices can be obtained from the London

Metals Exchange (LME) at

<www.lme.co.uk>, the New York

Commodities Exchange (COMEX) at

<www.nymex.com> or the Chicago

Board of Trade at <www.cbot.com>.

Quarterly futures prices can be obtained

at <goldsheet.simplenet.com>,

<www.futuresweb.com>, and

<www.futuresguide.com>. Other

sources of archival data are the LME and

<www.kitco.com>. The Uniform

Resource Locators for these sites may

change frequently. There are many other

sites available which post commodity

pricing data.

3. Limited Futures Markets. In

instances where a publicly-traded

mineral has no futures prices available

on the market, the mineral examiner

will average the monthly average

commodity price for the month in

which the significant marketability date

occurred with the monthly average

commodity prices for each of the 36

months before the marketability date.

The mineral examiner will average a

total of 37 numbers in this instance. If

quarterly futures prices are available for

any of the 36 months following the

marketability date, the mineral

examiner will average the available

futures prices on a monthly basis with

the monthly average commodity price

for the month in which the significant

marketability date occurred and the

monthly commodity prices for each of

the 36 months before the marketability

date.

4. Operating Mines. When

determining the validity of mining

claims that are being developed by an

operating mine, the mineral examiner

will substitute the prices at which the

claimant actually sold the commodity

during any of the 36 months preceding

the marketability date, and during the

month in which the marketability date

occurs, for the monthly average

commodity price that otherwise would

be used under paragraph 2. Also, the

mineral examiner will substitute any of

the claimant’s actual futures sales

contract prices for production from the

mine for any of the 36 months following

the marketability date.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The San

Francisco Bay/Sacramento-San Joaquin

Delta Estuary (Bay-Delta system) is a

critically important part of California’s

natural environment and economy. In

recognition of the serious problems

facing the region and the complex

resource management decisions that

must be made, the State of California

and the Federal government are working

together to stabilize, protect, restore,

and enhance the Bay-Delta system. The

State and Federal agencies with

management and regulatory

responsibilities in the Bay-Delta system

are working together as CALFED to

provide direction and oversight for the

process.

One area of Bay-Delta management

includes the establishment of a joint

State-Federal process to develop longterm solutions to problems in the BayDelta system related to fish and wildlife,

water supply reliability, natural

disasters, and water quality. The intent

is to develop a comprehensive and

balanced plan that addresses all of the

resource problems. This effort, the

CALFED Bay-Delta Program (Program),

is being carried out under the policy

direction of CALFED. The Program is

exploring and developing a long-term

solution for a cooperative planning

process that will determine the most

appropriate strategy and actions

necessary to improve water quality,

restore health to the Bay-Delta

ecosystem, provide for a variety of

beneficial uses, and minimize Bay-Delta

system vulnerability. A group of citizen

advisors representing California’s

agricultural, environmental, urban,

business, fishing, and other interests

who have a stake in finding long-term

solutions for the problems affecting the

Bay-Delta system has been chartered

under the Federal Advisory Committee

Act (FACA). The BDAC provides advice

CALFED on the program mission,

problems to be addressed, and

objectives for the Program. BDAC

provides a forum to help ensure public

participation, and will review reports

and other materials prepared by

CALFED staff. BDAC has established a

subcommittee called the Ecosystem

Roundtable to provide input on annual

workplans to implement ecosystem

restoration projects and programs.

Minutes of the meeting will be

maintained by the Program, Suite 1155,

1416 Ninth Street, Sacramento, CA

95814, and will be available for public

inspection during regular business

hours, Monday through Friday within

30 days following the meeting.

INTERNATIONAL TRADE

COMMISSION

[Investigation No. 731–TA–828 (Final)]

Bulk Acetylsalicylic Acid (Aspirin)

From China

Determination

On the basis of the record 1 developed

in the subject investigation, the United

States International Trade Commission

determines, pursuant to section 735(b)

of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C.

1673d(b)) (the Act), that an industry in

the United States is threatened with

material injury by reason of imports

from China of bulk acetylsalicylic acid

(aspirin), provided for in subheadings

2918.22.10 and 3003.90.00 of the

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the

United States, that have been found by

the Department of Commerce to be sold

in the United States at less than fair

value (LTFV). The Commission further

determines that it would not have found

material injury but for the suspension of

liquidation.

Background

The Commission instituted this

investigation effective May 28, 1999,

following receipt of a petition filed with

the Commission and the Department of

Commerce by Rhodia, Inc., Cranbury,

NJ. The final phase of the investigation

was scheduled by the Commission

following notification of a preliminary

determination by the Department of

Commerce that imports of bulk aspirin

from China were being sold at LTFV

within the meaning of section 733(b) of

the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673b(b)). Notice of

the scheduling of the Commission’s

investigation and of a public hearing to

be held in connection therewith was

given by posting copies of the notice in

the Office of the Secretary, U.S.

International Trade Commission,

Washington, DC, and by publishing the

notice in the Federal Register of

February 4, 2000 (65 FR 5659). The

hearing was held in Washington, DC, on

May 18, 2000, and all persons who

requested the opportunity were

permitted to appear in person or by

counsel.

The Commission transmitted its

determination in this investigation to

the Secretary of Commerce on June 30,

2000. The views of the Commission are

contained in USITC Publication 3314

(June 2000), entitled Bulk

Acetylsalicylic Acid (Aspirin) from

China: Investigation No. 731–TA–828

(Final).

By order of the Commission.

Issued: June 29, 2000.
