inaccessible roadless and wilderness 

areas, makes for a uniquely positioned 

community, and is an important 

contributing factor to the area’s overall 

need for treatment. In many cases, 

wilderness and roadless areas occur at 

higher elevations and are well removed, 

from communities. Tollgate however 

sits above large tracts of both roadless 

and wilderness areas. Wildfires can 

initiate in these remote places, gain 

intensity, and ultimately emerge onto 

the plateau. 

An accounting of the condition of 

existing vegetation within the analysis 

area has shown that these stands are 

very receptive to the initiation of high 

severity crown fire. The stands are also 

likely to sustain high severity crown fire 

that may emerge from the surrounding 

wilderness and roadless areas. Field 

reconnaissance of each prospective unit 

was performed, and showed that the 

structure, composition, arrangement, 

and dynamics of the present vegetation 

indicate an area highly susceptible to 

experiencing severe fire events. 

A strong need for treatment exists. A 

community, important infrastructure 

and a major transportation cooridor 

representvaluesthat are at risk. The 

area’s infrastructure is located above, 

and in the path of major fire travel 

routes. The community is situated 

amongst vegetation that is poised to 

burn with severity. 

It is unlikely that high severity fire 

events can be stopped from occurring in 

fire regime 4; however, through the 

implementation of fuels reduction 

treatments property, infrastructure, and 

lives may be more effectively protected. 

Treatments resulting in modified fuel 

configurations in strategic locations can 

lessen the impacts of a major fire event 

to the people, infrastructure, and travel 

routes within Tollgate. 

The following project objectives were 

identified based on the intent of the 

2004 Healthy Forest Restoration Act, the 

Umatilla County CWPP, and goals 

brought forth through public 

collaborative efforts: 

• Lower fire hazard, by reducing 

overall fuel load and reducing the 

vertical and horizontal continuity of 

fuels within the project planning area. 

• Improve protection to adjacent 

private lands and public/private 

infrastructure from a wildfire event. 

• Provide safe egress of local 

residents and safe ingress/egress for 

firefighters during wildfire events. 

• Effect immediate change in fire 

behavior within the Tollgate WUI by 

reducing fuels and creating strategic fuel 

breaks. 

• Prepare a site specific Forest Plan 

amendment to allow entry and 

treatment of fuels within select Riparian 

Habitat Conservation Areas (RHCAs). 

RHCA treatment is only proposed for 

the following units of the Tollgate Fuels 

Reduction Project—units 38, 75, 19, 66, 

and 61. 

Proposed Action 

The Forest Service proposes to 

conduct fuels reduction activities on 

approximately 4,400 acres within the 

Tollgate project planning area. Fuel 

reduction efforts would be implemented 

through the use of commerical timber 

harvest (3,050 acres) and noncommercial thinning (1,350 acres). Fuel 

reduction prescriptions include crown 

reduction, dead and down material 

removal, and ladder fuel reduction. 

The project also includes fuel 

reduction activities in three (3) Riparian 

Habitat Conservation Areas (RHCAs) of 

strategic importance. There are 

treatments proposed along Oregon State 

Highway 204, designed to improve the 

defensibility of this important travel 

cooridor. Treatments are also proposed 

within the Lookingglass Inventoried 

Roadless Area (IRA). The proposed 

treatments are targeted on the edge of 

IRA boundary where it coincides with 

private inholdings and Forest Road 

6400. No actions are proposed within 

either the North Fork Umatilla 

Wilderness or Walla Walla River 

Inventoried Roadless Area. 

The project will realign 

approximately 0.35 miles of Forest Road 

3718155 out of the RHCA of a fishbearing stream to an upland site. 

Responsible Official 

Forest Supervisor, Kevin Martin. 

Nature of Decision To Be Made 

The responsible official will decide: 

(1) Whether fuels reduction activities 

should occur, and if so, how much, 

when and where. 

(2) What monitoring and mitigation 

measures should be taken or are needed. 

(3) Whether or not to amend the 

Umatilla National Forest Land and 

Resource Management Plan.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

International Trade Administration 

[A–570–892] 

Carbazole Violet Pigment 23 From the 

People’s Republic of China: 

Preliminary Intent To Rescind 

Antidumping Duty Administrative 

Review 

AGENCY: Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: In response to a request by 

Toyo Ink Mfg. America, LLC and Toyo 

Ink Mfg. Co., Ltd. (collectively, Toyo), 

the Department of Commerce (the 

Department) is conducting an 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on carbazole 

violet pigment 23 (CVP 23) from the 

People’s Republic of China (PRC). This 

administrative review covers only Toyo. 

The period of review (POR) is December 

1, 2009, through November 30, 2010. 

Toyo subsequently provided a 

certification of no sales. As the 

Department’s review of U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection (CBP) import data 

confirms that there were no reviewable 

entries of the subject merchandise 

during the POR, we preliminarily 

determine that Toyo did not have 

reviewable entries during the POR. 

Therefore, because there are no entries 

on which to assess duties, the 

Department preliminarily determines to 

rescind this review. Interested parties 

are invited to comment on these 

preliminary results. 

DATES: Effective Date: September 6, 

2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On December 29, 2004, the 

Department published the antidumping 

duty order on CVP 23 from the PRC. See 

Antidumping Duty Order: Carbazole 

Violet Pigment 23 From the People’s 

Republic of China, 69 FR 77987 

(December 29, 2004) (the Order). On 

December 1, 2010, the Department 

published a notice of opportunity to 

request an administrative review of the 

Order. See Antidumping or 

Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or 

Suspended Investigation; Opportunity 

To Request Administrative Review, 75 

FR 74682 (December 1, 2010). On 

January 3, 2011, the Department 

received a timely request for 

administrative review from Toyo. Toyo 

referenced the formal scope inquiry 

regarding CVP 23 which the Department 

was conducting at the time, stating that 

it would withdraw its request if the 

Department were to find in the scope 

proceeding that crude CVP 23 from the 

PRC finished in Japan did not fall 

within the scope of the Order. See letter 

from Mark E. Pardo to the Secretary of 

Commerce entitled ‘‘Request for 

Administrative Review: Carbazole 

Violet 23 Pigment from the People’s 

Republic of China (POR: 12/1/2009–11/ 

30/2010)’’ dated January 3, 2011. See 

also memorandum from Deborah Scott 

to the file entitled, ‘‘Memorandum 

Placing the Preliminary Affirmative 

Scope Ruling on Carbazole Violet 

Pigment 23 from The People’s Republic 

of China and India on the Record,’’ 

dated August 9, 2011. 

On January 28, 2011, the Department 

initiated an administrative review of the 

Order. See Initiation of Antidumping 

and Countervailing Duty Administrative 

Reviews, 76 FR 5137 (January 28, 2011). 

Also on January 28, 2011, the 

Department requested that Toyo 

demonstrate that CBP had suspended at 

least one Toyo entry of CVP 23 finished 

in Japan from crude CVP 23 made in the 

PRC. See the Department’s letter to 

Toyo, dated January 28, 2011. 

On February 7, 2011, Toyo responded 

that some of its POR entries of CVP 23 

remained unliquidated, but not 

necessarily suspended, under 19 U.S.C. 

1404(a) and (b). In addition, Toyo 

maintained that these entries would not 

be affected by the Department’s scope 

inquiry. Toyo also argued that, pursuant 

to 19 CFR 351.225(l), antidumping 

duties cannot be assessed on its entries 

unless suspension of liquidation has 

already been ordered on those entries. 

See letter from Toyo to the Secretary of 

Commerce entitled ‘‘Administrative 

Review of the Antidumping Order on 

Carbazole Violet 23 Pigment from the 

People’s Republic of China; Response of 

Toyo Ink Mfg. Co., Ltd. To 

Questionnaire of January 28, 2011’’ 

dated February 7, 2011. 

The Department conducted a CBP 

data query which confirmed that there 

were no reviewable entries of the 

subject merchandise during the period 

covered by this administrative review. 

On March 24, 2011, Toyo timely 

submitted a notice of no sales.1 See letter 

from Toyo to the Secretary of Commerce 

entitled ‘‘Administrative Review of the 

Antidumping Order on Carbazole Violet 

23 Pigment from the People’s Republic 

of China; Toyo Ink Mfg. Co., Ltd.’’ dated 

March 24, 2011. 

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise covered by this 

order is carbazole violet pigment 23 

identified as Color Index No. 51319 and 

Chemical Abstract No. 6358–30–1, with 

the chemical name of diindolo [3,2- 

b:3’,2’-m] triphenodioxazine, 8,18- 

dichloro-5, 15-diethy-5,15-dihydro-, and 

molecular formula of C 34 H 22 C l2 N 

4 O 2.2 The subject merchandise 

includes the crude pigment in any form 

(e.g., dry powder, paste, wet cake) and 

finished pigment in the form of 

presscake and dry color. Pigment 

dispersions in any form (e.g., pigments 

dispersed in oleoresins, flammable 

solvents, water) are not included within 

the scope of this order. The 

merchandise subject to this order is 

classifiable under subheading 

3204.17.9040 of the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). 

Although the HTSUS subheading is 

provided for convenience and customs 

purposes, the written description of the 

scope of the order is dispositive. 

Preliminary Intent To Rescind the 

Administrative Review 

Under 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), ‘‘{t}he 

Secretary may rescind an administrative 

review, in whole or only with respect to 

a particular exporter or producer, if the 

Secretary concludes that, during the 

period covered by the review, there 

were no entries, exports, or sales of the 

subject merchandise, as the case may 

be.’’ See 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3). 

On March 24, 2011, after having first 

reported unliquidated (but not 

necessarily suspended) entries during 

the POR, Toyo timely claimed that it 

made no sales of subject merchandise 

during the POR. See letter from Toyo to 

the Secretary of Commerce entitled
