Endangered and Threatened Species; 

Notice of Intent To Withdraw Existing 

Draft Environmental Impact Statement 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice of withdrawal. 

SUMMARY: NMFS is announcing the 

withdrawal of a draft Environmental 

Impact Statement (EIS) that was being 

prepared on two resource management 

plans (RMPs) and 114 supporting 

hatchery and genetic management plans 

(HGMPs) for Puget Sound hatchery 

programs. The plans were submitted to 

NMFS by the Washington Department of 

Fish and Wildlife and the Puget Sound 

treaty tribes (referred to as the comanagers) for evaluation under the 

Endangered Species Act (ESA) for 

threatened Puget Sound Chinook 

salmon and Puget Sound steelhead. 

Subsequent to the notice of intent to 

prepare an EIS in 2004, the co-managers 

have made important changes in 

hatchery programs for salmon and 

steelhead. Changes in the programs and 

updated information important for 

analysis are being reflected in revised 

joint RMPs that are generally organized 

on a watershed-specific basis. In light of 

this and the ongoing submissions of 

revised watershed-specific joint 

hatchery RMPs and considering public 

comments received on the draft EIS, 

NMFS has determined that it is 

appropriate to withdraw the draft EIS. 

NMFS will conduct NEPA reviews for 

the revised RMPs that are jointly 

submitted to NMFS by the co-managers.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 

12, 2004, NMFS published the original 

notice of intent in the Federal Register 

to prepare an EIS for two joint 2004 

state and tribal RMPs for salmon and 

steelhead hatcheries in Puget Sound (69 

FR 26364). On July 29, 2011, NMFS 

published a second notice of intent in 

the Federal Register (76 FR 45515), to 

remind other agencies and the public of 

its plans to analyze the effects related to 

the action, and obtain information that 

may not have been available in 2004 

pertinent to the scope of issues to 

include in the EIS. On July 25, 2014, 

NMFS published notification in the 

Federal Register that a draft EIS was 

available for comment (79 FR 43465). In 

response to requests from the public the 

comment period was extended twice as 

published in the Federal Register (79 

FR 59767, October 3, 2014, and 79 FR 

69470, November 21, 2014). 

Subsequent to NMFS’ publication of 

the notice of intent to prepare an EIS in 

2004, and subsequent to the 2004 RMPs, 

the co-managers have updated their 

hatchery programs to reflect important 

changes in hatchery management in 

different areas of Puget Sound. Such 

changes include new management 

practices to respond to new scientific 

information, revised purposes and sizes 

of some programs, and management 

responses to other issues unique to 

particular watersheds. Several hatchery 

programs have been terminated since 

2004. Finally, the RMPs have been 

updated to reflect the 2007 listing of 

Puget Sound steelhead under the ESA. 

In light of these changes, the comanagers have begun to submit to 

NMFS for review and approval revised 

joint RMPs for hatchery programs, 

generally organized by watershed, but 

located within the same action area as 

the 2004 RMPs. Because the comanagers are in control of how to design 

their RMPs and whether to revise the 

underlying HGMPs, these new RMPs 

replace the RMPs submitted in 2004. 

While the draft EIS for Puget Sound 

hatchery programs was being 

developed, and in response to comanager requests, NMFS conducted

environmental reviews for the RMPs 

that were revised since the 2004 RMPs 

were submitted to NMFS. For example, 

on December 10, 2012, NMFS 

completed a final Environmental 

Assessment (EA) and finding of no 

significant impact (FONSI) for five 

Elwha salmon and steelhead hatchery 

programs. Subsequently, on December 

15, 2014, a final supplemental EA and 

FONSI for Elwha hatchery programs 

was published. In addition, in February, 

NMFS published a notice of availability 

for a draft EA for three salmon hatchery 

programs in the Dungeness River 

watershed (80 FR 9260, February 20, 

2015). 

Public comments on the draft EIS for 

Puget Sound hatchery programs noted 

that the 2004 RMPs for hatchery 

programs do not accurately reflect 

current hatchery program purposes or 

practices, and that some of the 

information used was outdated. It was 

also noted that the scale of the review, 

incorporating more than a hundred 

hatchery programs, tended to mask 

effects for some species. 

Therefore, considering ongoing 

submissions of revised watershedspecific joint RMPs within the action 

area of the 2004 RMPs and public 

comments received on the draft EIS, 

NMFS has determined it is appropriate 

to terminate the EIS and transition this 

effort into new NEPA reviews on 

revised hatchery RMPs that are jointly 

submitted to NMFS by the co-managers. 

NMFS does not plan to formally 

respond to public comments on the 

draft EIS; however, information in the 

terminated draft EIS, along with public 

comments received on the draft EIS, 

will be considered by NMFS in 

subsequent NEPA reviews of watershedspecific RMPs. 

Authority 

We provide this notice in accordance 

with the requirements of NEPA as 

amended (42 U.S.C. 4371 et seq.) and its 

implementing regulations (40 CFR 

1506.6), and other appropriate Federal 

laws and regulations, and policies and 

procedures of NMFS for compliance 

with those regulations.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

(Department) is amending the 

preliminarily determination of the 

antidumping duty (AD) investigation of 

certain passenger vehicle and light truck 

tires (passenger tires) from the People’s 

Republic of China (PRC) to correct 

significant ministerial errors. 

DATES: Effective Date: March 26, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On January 27, 2015, the Department 

published its affirmative preliminary 

determination that passenger tires from 

the PRC are being, or are likely to be, 

sold in the United States at less than fair 

value, as provided by section 733 of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 

Act).1 The Department disclosed the 

calculations performed on January 26, 

2015, and set a February 2, 2015 

deadline for submitting comments 

concerning ministerial errors. 

The Sailun Group 2 and GITI 3 each 

timely filed comments alleging 

significant ministerial errors.4 In 

addition, Anchi, Wanli, Federal, 

Changfeng, Fullrun, Fuyingxiang, 

Qingda, Doublestar and DoublestarDongfeng, and Beijing Capital each 

timely filed comments regarding the 

Department’s preliminary separate rate 

determinations.5 Jinhaoyang requested 

the Department to accept its 

supplemental documentation for the 

Separate Rate Application 6 which was 

opposed by the Petitioner.7 Further, 

GITI, Doublestar and Tyrechamp, and 

CIC timely filed requests for correcting 

misspelled names.8 Petitioner filed 

rebuttal comments and ministerial error 

comments on February 10, 2015.9 The 

Sailun Group, in-turn, requested that 

the Department reject Petitioner’s 

rebuttal comments.10

Scope of the Investigation 

For a full description of the scope of 

this investigation, see ‘‘Scope of 

Investigation’’ at Appendix I of the 

Preliminary Determination. 

Analysis of Significant Ministerial 

Error Allegations 

The Department will analyze any 

comments received and, if appropriate, 

correct any significant ministerial error 

by amending the preliminary 

determination according to 19 CFR 

351.224(e). A ministerial error is 

defined in 19 CFR 351.224(f) as ‘‘an 

error in addition, subtraction, or other 

arithmetic function, clerical error 

resulting from inaccurate copying, 

duplication, or the like, and any other 

similar type of unintentional error 

which the Secretary considers 

ministerial.’’ Further, a significant 

ministerial error is defined in 19 CFR
