disturbance patterns nor do they 

emulate natural habitat structure. 

Landscape burning and timber harvest 

that mimics natural fire would help 

increase forest resilience, help reduce 

risk of wildfires, and help create high 

quality habitats that would benefit 

neotropical migratory birds, resident 

birds, small mammals, and big game 

species. Fire dependent wildlife species 

would benefit from landscape burning. 

Watershed Improvement 

Purpose: Reduce potential sediment 

inputs into the aquatic ecosystem from 

roads. 

Need: There is a need to drain 

roadside ditchline water away from 

streams by installing cross drain pipes 

near live stream crossings. The cross 

drain pipes collect ditchline water and 

direct it onto the forest floor. There is 

also a need to replace existing 

undersized, damaged, or rusting 

culverts on streams to minimize failure 

potential. 

There are 283 miles of road within the 

project area, 200 of which are needed 

for current and future management. The 

remaining 83 miles of road have been 

cleared for decommissioning under the 

SF/WF Clear Creek Road 

Decommissioning EA (2011). The roads 

needed for management can contribute 

sediment to streams through road 

surface erosion and potential culvert 

failures. Surface erosion occurs during 

spring snowmelt and rain events. Dirt 

coming off roads is diverted into 

ditchlines which are often directed into 

streams. Preliminary surveys show most 

roads in the area are drained by ditches. 

Culvert failures can result from 

undersized, damaged or rusting culverts 

which can plug with debris and then 

fail as water saturates the surrounding 

fill. Failures can contribute large pulses 

of sediment into streams. Surveys 

indicate at least 60 miles of road with 

culverts that are in need of replacement 

or cleaning. There is a minimum of 40 

high or moderate priority culverts in 

need of replacement, and 12 in need of 

cleaning. There are an additional 40 low 

priority culverts in need of replacement 

and 15 in need of cleaning. The 

surveyed roads pose the highest risk to 

streams in the project area. 

The desired condition for roads is to 

have ditchlines that drain road surface 

water away from streams and onto forest 

the forest floor. All culverts at stream 

crossings are appropriately sized to 

allow for the passage of material within 

minimal risk of plugging. 

The Proposed Action would: 

Improve Forest Health, Provide Goods 

and Services, Reduce Fuels and Improve 

Wildlife Habitat 

• Conduct ‘‘variable retention’’ 

regeneration harvest and post harvest 

burning activities on up to 2500 acres to 

create early sucessional plant 

communities and improve wildlife 

habitat while re-establishing long-lived 

early seral tree species. Variable 

retention harvest would include areas of 

full retention (clumps), irregular edges, 

and retention of snags and legacy trees 

to provide structure and a future source 

of woody debris. Openings will likely 

exceed 40 acres. 

• Commercially thin approximately 

7810 acres to reduce stand densities 

improve forest health and reduce the 

chance of crown fire. 

• Apply improvement harvest to 

approximately 311 acres (thin from 

below) to remove encroachment and 

ladder fuels from ponderosa pine 

dominated stands. 

• Construct a minimum temporary 

road system to carry out the proposed 

action. Roads would be 

decommissioned after use. 

• Pre-commercially thin 

approximately 1865 acres to reduce 

stand densities improve forest health 

and reduce fuels. 

• Restore approximately 42 acres of 

bunchgrass communities through 

prescribed burning and revegetation 

with native grasses to improve wildlife 

winter range through reestablishment of 

native grasses and forbs. 

• Apply approximately 1400 acres of 

low and mixed severity prescribed fire 

within the Clear Creek Roadless area to 

restore natural fire regimes, reduce 

fuels, improve wildlife habitat and 

create mosaic forest conditions. 

Proposed activities are consistent with 

Idaho Roadless Rule. There is no timber 

cutting planned within the Clear Creek 

Roadless area. 

Reduce Sediment Production and 

Address Transportation Needs 

• Conduct maintenance on or 

improve 100–130 miles of system roads 

including culvert installation or 

replacement, ditch cleaning, and riprap 

placement for drainage improvement. It 

may also include gravel placement, road 

grading and dust abatement. 

• Additional site specific 

maintenance or improvements would 

occur to improve watershed conditions 

on up to 20 miles of roads outside of 

proposed treatment areas. 

• Decommission 2–5 miles of system 

roads no longer considered necessary 

for transportation needs. 

Possible Alternatives the Forest 

Service will consider include a noaction alternative, which will serve as a 

baseline for comparison of alternatives. 

The proposed action will be considered 

along with additional alternatives that 

will be developed to meet the purpose 

and need for action, and to address 

significant issues identified during 

scoping. 

The Responsible Official is Rick 

Brazell, Nez Perce-Clearwater Forest 

Supervisor, Clearwater National Forest 

Supervisor’s Office, 12730 Highway 12, 

Orofino, ID 83544. 

The Decision To Be Made is whether 

to adopt the proposed action, in whole 

or inpart, or another alternative; and 

what mitigation measures and 

management requirements will be 

implemented. 

The Scoping Process for the EIS is 

being initiated with this notice. The 

scoping process will identify issues to 

be analyzed in detail and will lead to 

the developemnt of alternatives to the 

proposal. The Forest Service is seeking 

information and comments from other 

Federal, State, and local agencies; Tribal 

Governments; and organizations and 

individuals who may be interested in or 

affected by the proposed action. 

Comments received in response to this 

notice, including the names and 

addresses of those who comment, will 

be a part of the project record and 

available for public review. 

Early Notice of Importance of Public 

Participation in Subsequent 

Environmental Review: A draft 

environmental impact statement will be 

prepared for comment. The second 

major opportunity for public input will 

be when the draft EIS is published. The 

comment period for the draft EIS will be 

45 days from the date the 

Environmental Protection Agency 

publishes the notice of availability in 

the Federal Register. The Draft EIS is 

anticipated to be available for public 

review in February 2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The Departments of Commerce and 

the Interior are required by Public Law 

97–446, as amended by Public Law 103– 

465, Public Law 106–36 and Public Law 

108–429, to administer the distribution 

of watch duty-exemptions and watch 

and jewelry duty-refunds to program 

producers in the U.S. insular 

possessions and the Northern Mariana 

Islands. The primary consideration in 

collecting information is the 

enforcement of the laws and the 

information gathered is limited to that 

necessary to prevent abuse of the 

program and to permit a fair and 

equitable distribution of its benefits. 

The Form ITA–340P is used to provide 

the data to assist in verification of dutyfree shipments of watches into the 

United States and make certain the 

allocations are not exceeded. Forms 

ITA–360P and ITA–361P are necessary 

to implement the duty-refund program 

for the watch and jewelry producers. 

Form ITA–360P requires no information 

unless the recipient wishes to transfer 

the certificate. Form ITA–361P must be 

completed each time a certificate holder 

wishes to obtain a portion, or all, of the 

duty-refund authorized by the 

certificate. The duty-refund benefit is 

issued biannually and the forms are 

used for the distribution of the dutyrefund benefit. 

II. Method of Collection

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

February 28, 2011, the Department of 

Commerce (‘‘Department’’) published a 

notice of initiation of an administrative 

review of the antidumping duty order 

on wooden bedroom furniture from the 

People’s Republic of China covering the 

period January 1, 2010, through 

December 31, 2010.1 On October 24, 

2011, the Department published its 

preliminary results of the administrative 

review.2 The final results of the 

administrative review are currently due 

no later than February 21, 2012. 

Statutory Time Limits 

In antidumping duty administrative 

reviews, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the 

Act’’), requires the Department to make 

a final determination in an 

administrative review of an 

antidumping duty order within 120 

days after the date on which the 

preliminary results are published. 

However, if it is not practicable to 

complete the review within this time 

period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act 

allows the Department to extend the 

120-day period to 180 days after 

publication of the preliminary results 

(or 300 days if the Department has not 

extended the time limit for the 

preliminary results). 

Extension of Time Limit for Final 

Results 

The Department has determined that 

it is not practicable to complete the 

review within the 120-day time period 

because it requires additional time to 

evaluate the arguments and submissions 

made by interested parties following the 

Preliminary Results. Therefore, in 

accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of 

the Act, the Department is extending the 

time period for completing the final 

results of the instant administrative 

review by 30 days until March 22, 2012. 

This notice is published pursuant to 

sections 751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i) of the 

Act.
