SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Since

1990, management of bison in and

adjacent to Yellowstone National Park

has been covered by a series of interim

management plans. In 1992, the

National Park Service (lead agency),

state of Montana (co-lead), United States

Forest Service (co-lead), and the Animal

and Plant Health Inspection Service

(cooperating agency) signed a

Memorandum of Understanding to

prepare a long-term bison management

plan/EIS.

The DEIS presents seven alternatives

with a full range of management

techniques for maintaining a wild, free

ranging bison population while

minimizing the risk of transmitting the

disease Brucellosis from bison to

domestic cattle on public and private

lands in Montana adjacent to

Yellowstone National Park.

Management techniques used in various

combinations to meet the plan’s

objectives include capturing and testing

bison for Brucellosis, quarantining,

slaughtering, hunting and vaccination.

Impacts are analyzed on the following

topics: bison population, recreation,

livestock operations, socioeconomics,

threatened, endangered and sensitive

species, other wildlife species, human

health, cultural resources, and visual

resources.

All review comments received on the

DEIS will become part of the public

record.

Stainless Steel Round Wire From

Canada, India, Japan, Korea, Spain,

and Taiwan

Determination

On the basis of the record 1 developed

in the subject investigations, the United

States International Trade Commission

determines, pursuant to section 733(a)
33394 Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 117 /Thursday, June 18, 1998 / Notices

of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C.

§ 1673b(a)), that there is a reasonable

indication that an industry in the

United States is materially injured by

reason of imports from Canada, India,

Japan, Korea, Spain, and Taiwan of

stainless steel round wire, provided for

in subheading 7223.00.10 of the

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the

United States, that are alleged to be sold

in the United States at less than fair

value (LTFV).

Commencement of Final Phase

Pursuant to section 207.18 of the

Commission’s rules, the Commission

also gives notice of the commencement

of the final phase of its investigations.

The Commission will issue a final phase

the Department of Commerce

(Commerce) of an affirmative

preliminary determination in the

Background

On March 27, 1998, a petition was

filed with the Commission and

Commerce by ACS Industries, Inc.,

Woonsocket, RI; Al Tech Specialty Steel

Corp., Dunkirk, NY; Branford Wire &

Manufacturing Co., Mountain Home,

effective March 27, 1998, the

The Commission transmitted its

determination in these investigations to

the Secretary of Commerce on June 5,

1998. The views of the Commission are

contained in USITC Publication 3111

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree

Under The Clean Air Act

Under 28 CFR 50.7, notice is hereby

given that on June 8, 1998, a proposed

Consent Decree in United States v.

American Honda Motor, Co., Inc., Civil

Action No. 98–01433, was lodged with

the United States District Court for the

District of Columbia.

The United States has asserted, in a

civil complaint under the Clean Air Act,

42 U.C.S. 7401 et seq., that certain

model-year 1995, 1996, and 1997

American Honda vehicles fail to comply

with the emission-control requirements

of the Act and the regulations

promulgated thereunder relating to the

detection of engine misfire through the

use of computerized on-board

diagnostics. Under the proposed

Consent Decree, American Honda has

agreed to resolve the United States’

claims by proving each current and all

subsequent owners of Honda vehicles

covered by the settlement with a 14

year/150,000 mile extended emissions

warranty, a free engine check at any

time between 50,000 an 75,000 miles of

use (to identify emission-related defects

covered by the extended emissions

warranty), plus a free tune up (to

maintain the engines’ emissions

performance) at any time between

75,000 and 150,000 miles of use. The

Decree requires American Honda to

notify affected owners of the extended

emissions warranty and services

available under the Decree (including

persons who purchase the vehicles from

current owners) following entry of the

Consent Decree by the Court, again

when each vehicle is approximately

four years old, and a final time when the

vehicle is approximately 9 years old.

Further, Honda will pay $10.1 in civil

penalties and spend $1 million to

implement a supplemental

environmental project to enhance the

use of on-board diagnostics by the states

in connection with their motor vehicle

emissions inspection and maintenance

programs.

The Department of Justice will receive

for a period of thirty (30) days from the

date of this publication comments

relating to the Consent Decree.

Comments should be addressed to the

Assistant Attorney General of the

Environmental and Natural Resources

Division, Department of Justice,

Washington, DC 20530, and should refer

to United States and American Honda

Motor, Co., Inc., Civil Action No. 98–

01433, D.J. Ref. 90–5–2–1–2170.

The Consent Decree may be examined

at the Office of the United States

Attorney for the District of Columbia,

Judiciary Center Bldg., 555 Fourth St.,

NW., Washington, DC 20001; at the

Environmental Protection Agency

Library, Reference Desk, Room 2904,

401 M Street, SW., Washington, DC

20460; and at the Consent Decree

Library, 1120 G Street, NW., 4th Floor,

Washington, DC 20005, 202–624–0892.

A copy of the Consent Decree may be

obtained in person or by mail from the

Consent Decree Library, 1120 G Street,

NW., 4th Floor, Washington, DC 20005.

In requesting a copy, please enclose a
