24830 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 90 / Wednesday, May 10, 1995 / Notices

January 19, 1994. Two periods of time

are identified for the receipt of

comments on this analysis. These two

public comment periods are: During this

scoping process and the period between

draft and final environmental impact

statements. Comments received within

30 days from the date of this publication

(Federal Register) will be especially

useful in the preparation of the draft

EIS.

Several issues have been identified

from scoping, field surveys and

reconnaissance. The principal issues

identified to date are:

1. The vegetation patterns and species

composition of the area do not mimic

the natural variability noted from data

compiled in the early 1900’s.

2. There is a lack of quality wildlife

security which is perpetuated by

existing road management and well

established All Terrain Vehicle use in

the project area.

3. The forest surrounding the project

area is fairly well fragmented.

4. There are areas with past clearcut

harvest units that detract from the visual

attractiveness of the landscape.

5. There is unauthorized trail building

in the area.

6. The old Forest Service NakarnaTyson (#338), Eena Creek (#337) and

Moolock Creek (#320) trails lie within

the project area. These trails are still

being used by the public and are in good

condition. This is an opportunity to put

this trail back on the system.

7. There are some areas needing

watershed/fish habitat rehabilitation

and this is an opportunity to complete

this work. In addition, if management

activities were to be implemented, what

would be potential impacts on the fish

habitat, water quality and stream

channel equilibrium.

8. If management activities were to be

implemented, what would be the

potential impacts on wildlife habitats.

9. How much sustainable timber

harvest is available from the project

area.

10. The local community has voiced

their concern over availability of small

timber sales. These sales enable smaller

timber operators the opportunity to

purchase timber sales.

Development of alternatives is

underway. The analysis will consider

the No Action alternative in addition to

the proposed action (described above)

and two alternative actions. The two

alternative actions would respond in

varying degrees to the purpose and need

defined above. These two alternatives

are as follows:

1. One alternative would confine

proposed timber management activities

to areas which can be reached by

existing roads, i.e. no new system roads

would be necessary. This proposal

would include underburning, timber

harvesting, a wildlife security area in

the Charlie-Preston Creek drainages,

watershed/fish improvements and trail

development. Potential harvest units for

this alternative present many small sale

opportunities.

2. One alternative is being proposed

for management activities that are

limited to certain areas of the project

area. This addresses the wildlife

security issue for a different part of the

project area. This alternative would

include underburning, timber

harvesting, road construction, potential

road obliteration, a wildlife security

area in the Eena, Moolock, Brown,

Pamas and Short Creek drainages,

watershed/fish improvements and trail

development. Potential harvest units for

this alternative present many small sale

opportunities.

The Forest Service believes it is

important to give reviewers notice at

this early stage of several court rulings

related to public participation in the

environmental review process. First,

reviewers of draft environmental impact

statements must structure their

participation in the environmental

review of the proposal so that it is

meaningful and alerts an agency to the

reviewer’s position and contentions.

Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Corp. v.

NRDC, 435 U.S. 519, 553 (1978). Also,

environmental objections that could be

raised at the draft EIS stage but that are

not raised until after completion of the

final EIS may be waived or dismissed by

the courts. City of Angoon v. Hodel, 803

F.2d 1016, 1022 (9th Cir. 1986) and

Wisconsin Heritages, Inc. v. Harris, 490

F. Supp. 334, 1338 (E.D. Wis. 1980).

Reviewers may wish to refer to CEQ

regulations 40 CFR 1503.3.

The draft environmental impact

statement should be available for public

review in May, 1994. The final EIS is

scheduled to be completed by

September, 1994. The District Ranger,

who is the responsible official for this

EIS, will make a decision regarding this

proposal. This decision and reasons for

the decision will be documented in a

Record of Decision.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Docket 17–95]

Foreign-Trade Zone 153—City of San

Diego, California, Application for

Subzone, Calbiochem-Novabiochem

Corporation (Life Science Chemicals),

San Diego, CA

An application has been submitted to

the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the

Board) by the City of San Diego,

California, grantee of FTZ 153,

requesting special-purpose subzone

status for the life science chemicals

processing/distribution facility of

Calbiochem-Novabiochem Corporation

(CNC) in San Diego, California, within

the San Diego Customs port of entry.

The application was submitted pursuant

to the provisions of the Foreign-Trade

Zones Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a–

81u), and the regulations of the Board

(15 CFR part 400). It was formally filed

on April 26, 1995.

CNC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of

Calbiochem-Novabiochem International,

Inc. (U.S.), a global manufacturer and

distributor of life science fine chemicals

used for clinical research and the

development of biochemical products.

Life science chemicals include human

plasma proteins, enzymes, amino acids,

detergents, peptides, toxins, antibodies,

immunochemicals, resins, inhibitors,

buffers, coupling reagents, and chiral

synthons.

The CNC facility (2 buildings—a 3rd

one planned—totalling 134,000 sq. ft. on

7.8 acres) is located at 10394 Pacific

Center Court, San Diego, California. The

facility (80 employees) is primarily used

to test and repackage life science

chemicals for use by academic and

government researchers and, industrial

and pharmaceutical companies. Some of

the products, accounting for about 5

percent of plant shipments, are also

involved in blending/processing activity

prior to packaging.

The application identifies three types

of products that would be initially

produced by the blending activity under

zone procedures at this time: Chromium

tripicolate (duty rate—3.7%), sodium

cholate (3.1%), and amino acids (4.2%).

The foreign sourced materials involved

in their manufacture are picolinic acid
Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 90 / Wednesday, May 10, 1995 / Notices 24831

(5.8%), cholic acid (4.0%), and various

packaging materials (4.8%–5.3%).

Foreign materials (accounting for

about 13–15 percent of material value)

that may also be involved in blending/

processing activity include buffers,

antibodies, detergents, proteins, avidin/

biotin, toxins, conjugates, enzymes,

enzyme substrates, inhibitors, growth

factors, amino acids, reagents for

peptide or phosphopeptide synthesis,

and peptides. The duty rates on

imported materials range from duty-free

to 18.6 percent, with most falling

between 4 percent and 7 percent.

Currently, about 45 percent of

merchandise is exported.

Zone procedures would exempt CNC

from Customs duty payments on foreign

materials that are reexported. The

company would be able to choose, in

some cases, the finished product duty

rates (3.1%–4.2%) rather than the duty

rates that would otherwise apply to the

foreign materials (duty-free to 18.6%) on

the above noted items blended/

processed at the facility. The

application indicates that zone

procedures will improve the plant’s

international competitiveness and will

help increase exports.

In accordance with the Board’s

regulations, a member of the FTZ Staff

has been designated examiner to

investigate the application and report to

the Board.

Public comment is invited from

interested parties. Submissions (original

and 3 copies) shall be addressed to the

Board’s Executive Secretary at the

address below. The closing period for

their receipt is July 10, 1995. Rebuttal

comments in response to material

submitted during the foregoing period

may be submitted during the subsequent

15-day period (to July 24, 1995).

A copy of the application and

accompanying exhibits will be available

for public inspection at each of the

following locations:
