Scoping Process 

Concurrent with this NOI, letters 

requesting comments will be sent to 

interested parties. Anyone who provides 

comments to the DEIS or expresses 

interest during the comment period will 

have eligibility. 

Preliminary Issues 

The Forest Service has identified the 

following preliminary issues: (1) 

Potential impacts to the Black-Footed 

Ferret, an Endangered species; (2) 

Potential impacts tot he black-tailed 

prairie dog, a Forest Service Region 2 

Sensitive Species and other associated 

sensitive species; (3) Potential impacts 

to adjacent private lands; (4) Potential 

impacts to livestock grazing permits on 

National Grassland. 

Comment Requested 

This notice of intent initiates the 

scoping process which guides the 

development of the environmental 

impact statement. 

Early Notice of Importance of Public 

Participation in Subsequent 

Environmental Review 

A draft environmental impact 

statement will be prepared for comment. 

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 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, 435 519, 553 

(1978). Also, environmental objections 

that could be raised at the draft 

environmental impact statement stage 

but that are not raised until after 

completion of the final environmental 

impact statement may be waived or 

dismissed by the courts City of Angoon 

v. Hodel, 803 F.2d 1016, 1022 (9th Cir. 

1986) and Wisconsin Heritages, Inc. v. 

Harris, 490 F. Supp. 1334, 1338 (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 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 on 

the proposed action, comments on the 

draft environmental impact statement 

should be as specific as possible. It is 

also helpful if comments refer to 

specific pages or chapter of the draft 

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. 

(Authority: 40 CFR 1501.7 and 1508.22;

Warmwater Shrimp from the People’s 

Republic of China

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 13, 2007.

Background 

On August 31, 2006, the Department 

of Commerce (‘‘Department’’) received a 

timely request from Maoming 

Changxing Foods Co., Ltd. (‘‘Maoming 

Changxing’’), in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.214(c), for a new shipper 

review of the antidumping duty order 

on certain frozen warmwater shrimp 

from the People’s Republic of China 

(‘‘PRC’’). On September 22, 2006, the 

Department found that the request for 

review with respect to Maoming 

Changxing met all of the regulatory 

requirements set forth in 19 CFR 

351.214(b) and initiated an antidumping 

duty new shipper review covering the 

period February 1, 2006, through July 

31, 2006. See Certain Frozen 

Warmwater Shrimp from the People’s 

Republic of China: Initiation of New 

Shipper Antidumping Duty Review, 71 

FR 57469 (September 29, 2006). The 

preliminary results are currently due no 

later than March 21, 2007. 

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary 

Results 

Section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Tariff 

Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’), 

and 19 CFR 351.214(i)(1) require the 

Department to issue the preliminary 

results of a new shipper review within 

180 days after the date on which the 

new shipper review was initiated and 

the final results of a review within 90 

days after the date on which the 

preliminary results were issued. The 

Department may, however, extend the 

time period for completion of the 

preliminary results of a new shipper 

review to 300 days if it determines that 

the case is extraordinarily complicated. 

See 19 CFR 351.214(i)(2). 

The Department has determined that 

the review is extraordinarily 

complicated as the Department must 

gather additional publicly available 

information, issue additional 

supplemental questionnaires, and 

conduct verification of the responses. 

Based on the timing of the case and the 

additional information that must be 

gathered and verified, the preliminary 

results of this new shipper review 

cannot be completed within the 

statutory time limit of 180 days. 

Accordingly, the Department is 

extending the time limit for the 

completion of the preliminary results of 

the new shipper review of Maoming 

Changxing to 300 days. The preliminary 

results will now be due no later than 

July 19, 2007, in accordance with 

section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.214(i)(2). The final results will, 

in turn, be due 90 days after the date of 

issuance of the preliminary results, 

unless extended. 

This notice is published pursuant to 

sections 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) and 777(i)(1) of 

the Act. 

Dated: March 5, 2007.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import 

Administration.
