includes detailed financial information,

management policies, and corporate

strategy. Owners/operators with 50 or

more projects, with estimated combined

mortgage amount of $250 million or

more must file, in addition to the

Corporate Credit Analysis, more

detailed information that is required for

non-Portfolio owners in connection

with the site visit. These large-size

owners/operators must also provide

information on their other properties

and lines of business not being financed

with FHA mortgage insurance.

Need and Use of the information

The information is collected and

evaluated, first by a rating agency and

then by HUD. The purpose is to

determine the financial strength and

management reliability of the owner/

operator. If the owner and/or the

operator should go into bankruptcy or

be unable to continue management of its

large group of properties, the ability of

the individual properties to keep

operating successfully would be

severely jeopardized. The failure of the

owner/operator could lead to

assignments to HUD of large numbers of

health care facilities, and a serious

resulting charge to the mortgage

insurance fund.

Notice of Intent To Prepare the Lower

Potomac River Coordinated

Management Plan/Environmental

Assessment

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management,

Milwaukee Field Office, DOI.

ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare a

coordinated management plan.

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that

the Bureau of Land Management (BLM),

Milwaukee Field Office, intends to

prepare a coordinated management plan

(CMP) for the purpose of determining

whether and where to acquire land in

the Lower Potomac River project area

located in Charles County, Maryland.

No specific tracts have been targeted for

acquisition.

The planning efforts will follow the

procedures set forth in title 43 of the

Code of Federal Regulations, Subpart

1600. The EA will be prepared under

the National Environmental Policy Act

of 1969 regulations (40 CFR 1500, et

seq.).

The public has 30 days from the date

of publication of this notice to send its

ideas regarding the proposal described

below in the ‘‘Supplementary

Information’’ and in the preliminary

planning criteria sections. These

comments should be written to help

focus the plan on substantive issues and

develop appropriate management

alternatives. These comments may

include specific resource data or

information or locations where these

data or information may be found.

DATES: The public scoping period

commences with the publication of this

notice. Comments must be postmarked

no later than May 30, 2001 to ensure the

issues they raise are considered in the

plan.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to

the following addresses: James W.

Dryden, Field Office Manager,

Milwaukee Field Office, P.O. Box 631,

Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53201–0631 or

Ed Ruda, Project Leader Manager,

Eastern States Office, 7450 Boston

Boulevard, Springfield, Virginia 22153.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ed

Ruda, Project Leader at (703) 440–1663,

or by electronic mail at

ed_ruda@es.blm.gov, or Howard Levine,

Planning and Environmental

Coordinator at (414) 297–4463, or by

electronic mail at

howard_levine@es.blm.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Congress

has appropriated a total of $3 million in

Land and Water Conservation Funds

(LWCF) for the acquisition of lands by

the BLM in the ‘‘Douglas Point’’ region

of southwestern Charles County,

Maryland. The planning area has been

renamed Lower Potomac River Project

Area.

Prior to expending Federal money for

acquisition, BLM must fulfill the

requirements of Sections 202 and 205(b)

of the Federal Land Policy and

Management Act of 1976, as amended

(43 U.S.C. 1701, et seq.) (FLPMA).

Under these requirements, any land

acquisitions by BLM must conform with

applicable land use plans. Currently,

BLM has no land use plans in the State

of Maryland. The Lower Potomac River

Coordinated Management Plan/

Environmental Assessment will fulfill

that requirement. The plan will not

identify any specific tracts for

acquisition by the Federal Government,

but will instead develop a set of criteria

to evaluate proposals for acquisition in

the future.

The Lower Potomac River CMP will

be developed cooperatively with

Maryland Department of Natural

Resources (MDNR) and Charles County.

By preparing a single plan, each

agency’s needs will be met and potential

acquisitions can be evaluated within an

overall conservation strategy for the

region.

The planning regulations require that

BLM release for review a list of planning

criteria that will guide development of

the land use plan. The public is invited

to review, comment and propose

amendments to any of the following

planning criteria:

1. The plan will be completed in

compliance with FLPMA and other

applicable laws.

2. The plan will include an

Environmental Assessment (EA)

prepared under the National

Environmental Policy Act. If scoping

reveals the potential for significant

impact, BLM will prepare an

environmental impact statement.

3. The final plan will include a set of

acquisition criteria that will be used to

evaluate specific proposals either by

Bureau motion or raised by willing

sellers. Although land acquisition can

be defined as fee title acquisition

criteria, conservation easement

acquisition, or mineral estate

acquisition (less than fee), the terms of

BLM’s LWCF proposal, as approved by

Congress, envision full fee acquisition.

4. The economic benefits and costs of

potential Federal acquisitions will be

evaluated in the plan.

5. Potential Federal acquisitions will

be evaluated in the context of other land

acquisitions made by the State of

Maryland or not-for-profit groups.

6. Any lands acquired by BLM will be

managed consistent with objectives

Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 83 / Monday, April 30, 2001 / Notices 21413

developed as a result of the plan and

FLPMA.

7. Lands purchased with LWCF

money will be managed consistent with

the BLM policies guiding such

acquisitions, which includes limiting

development. The construction of

capital improvements (such as visitor

centers, pavilions, and electricity, water

or phone lines) are not anticipated at

this time.

8. Decisions in the plan will be

consistent, to the maximum extent

possible, with the policies, plans and

programs of local Governments, State

agencies and other Federal agencies,

and the goals of the Chesapeake Bay

Program.

In addition, the Maryland State

legislature has required certain

information and analyses in any plans

prepared for potential State acquisitions

in the region. Given the fact that this

will be a CMP, it will include the

following items: Purchase Plan,

Management Oversight Plan, Operating

Plan, Public Access Plan, Forestry

Management Plan, Wildlife

Management Plan, and Water

Management Plan.

Complete records of all phases of the

planning process will be available at the

Milwaukee Field Office and are

available upon request.

Dated: April 9, 2001.

Acting Milwaukee Field Manager.

BILLING CODE 4310–PN–P

INTERNATIONAL TRADE

COMMISSION

[Investigation No. 1205–5]

Proposed Modifications to the

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the

United States

AGENCY: International Trade

Commission.

ACTION: Additional proposed

amendments.

EFFECTIVE DATE: April 23, 2001.

SUMMARY: On November 18, 1999, the

Commission instituted investigation No.

1205-5, Proposed Modifications to the

Harmonized Tariff Schedule for the

United States, pursuant to section 1205

of the Omnibus Trade and

Competitiveness Act of 1988. Section

1205 directs the Commission to keep the

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the

United States (HTS) under continuous

review and to recommend modifications

to the HTS (1) when amendments to the

International Convention on the

Harmonized Commodity Description

and Coding System (Harmonized

System), and the Protocol thereto, are

recommended by the World Customs

Organization (Harmonized System), and

the Protocol thereto, are recommended

by the World Customs Organization

(WCO) (formerly known as the Customs

Cooperation Council) for adoption, and

(2) as other circumstances warrant. The

Commission’s final report will set forth

the proposed changes and indicate the

necessary changes in the HTS that

would be needed to conform the HTS to

the international nomenclature

structure; the report will also include

other appropriate explanatory

information on the proposed changes. A

preliminary report was submitted to the

Office of the United States Trade

Representative in March 2000. Since

that time, the Commission has been

informed of additional proposed

amendments to the HTS that should be

included in the final report.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Eugene A. Rosengarden, Director (202–

205–2592), Office of Tariff Affairs and

Trade Agreements, U.S. International

Trade Commission, Washington, DC

20436. Hearing impaired individuals are

advised that information on this

investigation can be obtained by

contacting the TDD terminal on (202)

205–1810.

Background

The majority of the changes proposed

in the Commission’s preliminary report

are the result of the work of the WCO

and its Harmonized System Committee

(HSC) to update and clarify the

Harmonized System nomenclature, as

part of the WCO’s long-term program to

review the nomenclature structure on a

formal basis. These proposed changes,

which are to become effective in January

2002, are available in the Office of the

Secretary, Room 112, United States

International Trade Commission, 500 E

Street SW., Washington, DC 20436

(telephone 202–205–2000) and are

posted on the Commission’s website

(http://www.usitc.gov). These changes

encompass all decisions taken by the

HSC since the implementation of the

last set of WCO modifications to the

Harmonized System, which were

effective as of January 1, 1996.

Other proposed changes included in

this investigation have been requested

by the U.S. Customs Service, in order to

clarify the proper tariff classification

and duty treatment of particular goods

due to decisions of the Court of

International Trade, the HSC, or the U.S.

Customs Service. These changes,

including those which are the subject of

this notice, will be treated separately in

the Commission’s final report.

The Commission prepared nonauthoritative cross-reference tables in its

preliminary report to provide guidance

to potentially affected parties and to

show the likely existing and future tariff

classifications of the goods concerned.

The Customs Service has domestic legal

authority for tariff classification and

may provide information, both during

the course of the investigation and after

the Commission’s report is submitted,

that indicates different or additional

tariff classifications of some goods.

Moreover, the WCO has recently issued

a cross-reference table under Article 16

of the Harmonized System Convention,

indicating the international

classifications (existing and future) of

the goods affected by the proposed

changes. Thus, the classifications shown

in the Commission’s preliminary crossreference tables may be subject to

change in the final report in light of

WCO’s cross-reference table.

Additional Proposed Amendments to

the HTS

In addition to the changes to the HTS

already proposed in the Commission’s

preliminary report and in the Federal

Register of December 29, 2000 (65 F.R.

83032), February 16, 2001 (66 FR 10743)

and March 8, 2001 (66 FR 13963), the

following changes are proposed to

clarify proposals already set forth in the

Commission’s preliminary report to the

U.S. Trade Representative, Proposed

Modifications to the Harmonized Tariff

Schedule of the United States,

Investigation No. 1205–5 (Preliminary)

(USITC Publication 3295). These new

proposed changes are set out below.
