2. Site-specific management actions 

necessary to achieve the plan’s goal for 

conservation and survival of the species; 

and 

3. Estimates of the time required and 

costs to implement recovery plans. 

Recovery plans provide important 

guidance to the Service, States, other 

partners, and the general public on 

methods for minimizing threats to listed 

species, as well as objectives against 

which to measure the progress towards 

recovery. A recovery plan identifies, 

organizes, and prioritizes recovery 

actions and is an important guide that 

ensures sound scientific decisionmaking throughout the recovery 

process, which can take decades. 

Section 4(f)(4) of the ESA requires us 

to provide public notice and an 

opportunity for public review and 

comment during recovery plan 

development. We will consider all 

information presented during a public 

comment period prior to approval of 

each new or revised recovery plan. We 

and other Federal agencies will take 

these comments into account in the 

course of implementing approved 

recovery plans. 

The draft recovery plan describes 

actions necessary for the recovery of 

Agave eggersiana, establishes criteria for 

its delisting, and estimates the time and 

cost for implementing specific measures 

needed to recover the species. The 

ultimate goal of this draft recovery plan 

is to ensure the long-term viability of 

the Agave eggersiana in the wild to the 

point that it can be removed from the 

Federal List of Endangered and 

Threatened Plants in title 50 of the Code 

of Federal Regulations (50 CFR 17.12). 

Recovery Criteria 

The draft recovery plan proposes that 

the Agave eggersiana will be considered 

for delisting when: 

1. The six existing natural 

populations on St. Croix (South Shore, 

Cane Garden Bay, Manchenil Bay, 

Protestant Cay, Great Pond, and West 

Vagthus Point) are protected through 

long-term conservation mechanisms 

(addresses Factors A, B, and E). 

2. The six existing natural 

populations on St. Croix (South Shore, 

Cane Garden Bay, Manchenil Bay, 

Protestant Cay, Great Pond, and West 

Vagthus Point) show a stable or 

increasing trend, evidenced by natural 

recruitment and multiple age classes 

(addresses Factors A and E). 

3. Ten new populations have been 

established on protected areas within 

the historical range of the species, 

showing a stable or increasing 

population trend, evidenced by natural 

recruitment and multiple age classes 

(addresses Factors A, C, and E). 

4. Threats have been addressed and/ 

or managed to the extent that the 

species will remain viable into the 

foreseeable future (addresses Factors A, 

B, C, D, and E). 

Public Comments 

We request written comments on the 

draft recovery plan. We will consider all 

comments we receive by the date 

specified in DATES prior to final 

approval of the plan. 

Before including your address, phone 

number, email address, or other 

personal identifying information in your 

comment, you should be aware that 

your entire comment—including your 

personal identifying information—may 

be made publicly available at any time. 

While you can ask us in your comment 

to withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so.

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 of acrylonitrile-butadiene 

rubber from France, Korea, and Mexico, 

provided for in subheading 4002.59.00 

of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of 

the United States, that is alleged to be 

sold in the United States at less than fair 

value. Unless the Department of 

Commerce (‘‘Commerce’’) extends the 

time for initiation, the Commission 

must reach a preliminary determination 

in antidumping duty investigations in

COMMISSION 

[Investigation No. 731–TA–1534 (Final)] 

Methionine From France 

Determination 

On the basis of the record 1 developed 

in the subject investigation, the United 

States International Trade Commission 

(‘‘Commission’’) determines, pursuant 

to the Tariff Act of 1930 (‘‘the Act’’), 

that an industry in the United States is 

materially injured by reason of imports 

of methionine from France, provided for 

in subheadings 2930.40.00 and 

2930.90.46 of the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States, that have 

been found by the U.S. Department of 

Commerce (‘‘Commerce’’) to be sold in 

the United States at less than fair value 

(‘‘LTFV’’).2 3

Background 

The Commission instituted this 

investigation effective July 29, 2020, 

following receipt of a petition filed with 

the Commission and Commerce by 

Novus International, Inc., St. Charles, 

Missouri. The Commission scheduled 

the final phase of the investigation 

following notification of a preliminary 

determination by Commerce that 

imports of methionine from France were 

being sold at LTFV within the meaning 

of section 733(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 

1673b(b)). Notice of the scheduling of 

the final phase of the Commission’s 

investigation and of a public hearing to 

be held in connection therewith was 

given by posting copies of the notice in 

the Office of the Secretary, U.S. 

International Trade Commission, 

Washington, DC, and by publishing the 

notice in the Federal Register of March 

9, 2021 (86 FR 13585). In light of the 

restrictions on access to the Commission 

building due to the COVID–19 

pandemic, the Commission conducted 

its hearing by video conference on May 

11, 2021. All persons who requested the 

opportunity were permitted to 

participate. 

The Commission made this 

determination pursuant to § 735(b) of 

the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)). It 

completed and filed its determination in 

this investigation on June 30, 2021. The 

views of the Commission are contained 

in USITC Publication 5206 (June 2021),
