### DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR **Bureau of Ocean Energy Management Environmental Documents Prepared**  **for Oil, Gas, and Mineral Operations by the Gulf of Mexico Outer Continental**  **Shelf (OCS) Region**

**AGENCY**

### : Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Interior. **ACTION**

### : Notice of the availability of environmental documents prepared for OCS mineral proposals by the Gulf of Mexico OCS Region.

**SUMMARY**

### : The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), in accordance with Federal Regulations that implement the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), announces theavailability of NEPA-related SiteSpecific Environmental Assessments (SEA) and Findings of No Significant Impact (FONSI). These EA’s were prepared during the period July 1, 2011, through September 30, 2011, for the following oil-, gas-, and mineral-related activities that were proposed on the Gulf of Mexico.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT**

### : Public Information Unit, Information Services Section at the number below. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Gulf of Mexico OCS Region, Attention: Public Information Office (MS 5034), 1201 Elmwood Park Boulevard, Room 250, New Orleans, Louisiana 70123– 2394, or by calling 1–800–200–GULF.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION**

### : The BOEM prepares SEAs and FONSIs for proposals that relate to exploration, development, production, and transport of oil, gas, and mineral resources on the Federal OCS. These SEAs examine the potential environmental effects of activities described in the proposals and present BOEM conclusions regarding the significance of those effects. Environmental Assessments are used as a basis for determining whether or not approval of the proposals constitutes a major Federal action that significantly affects the quality of the human environment in accordance with NEPA Section 102(2)(C). A FONSI is prepared in those instances where BOEM finds that approval will not result in significant effects on the quality of the human environment. The FONSI briefly presents the basis for that finding and includes a summary or copy of the SEA. This notice constitutes the public notice of availability of environmental documents required under the NEPA Regulations.

**SUMMARY**

### : The Commission hereby gives notice of the institution of investigations and commencement of preliminary phase antidumping and countervailing duty investigations Nos. 701–TA–486 and 731–TA–1195–1196 (Preliminary) under section 703(a) and 733(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1671b(a) and 1673b(a)) (the Act) to determine whether there is a reasonable indication that an industry in the United States is materially injured or threatened with material injury, or the establishment of an industry in the United States is materially retarded, by reason of imports from China and Vietnam of utility scale wind towers, provided for in subheading 7308.20.00 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, that are alleged to be sold in the United States at less than fair value and alleged to be subsidized by the Government of China. Unless the Department of Commerce extends the time for initiation pursuant to section 732(c)(1)(B) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673a(c)(1)(B)), the Commission must reach preliminary determinations in antidumping investigations in 45 days, or in this case by February 13, 2012. The Commission’s views are due at Commerce within five business days thereafter, or by February 21, 2012.
