SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Locatable Minerals. 

OMB Number: 0596–0022. 

Expiration Date of Approval: July 31, 

2005. 

Type of Request: Extension with no 

revision. 

Abstract: This collection of 

information is necessary to ensure that 

the environmental impacts associated 

with locatable mineral operations on 

National Forest System lands are 

minimized to the extent practicable. The 

Forest Service regulations at 36 CFR 

228.5 require operators, with some 

exceptions, to submit a Notice of Intent 

or a Plan of Operations for conducting 

locatable minerals operations on 

National Forest System lands. The 

information that an operator must 

provide in a Plan of Operations is set 

out in 36 CFR 228.4(c), (d), and (e). The 

content of a Notice of Intent is described 

in 36 CFR 228.4(a)(2), and the content 

regarding Cessation of Operations is 

described in 36 CFR 228.10. Paragraph 

(g) of 36 CFR 228.4 displays the OMB 

number assigned to the information 

collection associated with locatable 

mineral operations. 

Mineral operators notify the 

authorized Forest Service officer of their 

intention to conduct a locatable mineral 

operation on National Forest System 

lands by filing either a Notice of Intent 

or a Plan of Operations. No specific 

format is required for the information 

collection, but the form, FS–2800–5, 

Plan of Operations for Mining Activities 

on National Forest System lands, is 

available for use by the operators. 

A Plan of Operations includes the 

following information: (1) The name 

and legal mailing address of operators 

(and claimants if they are not the 

operators) and their lessees, assigns, or 

designees; (2) a map or sketch showing 

information sufficient to locate the 

proposed area of operations on the 

ground, existing and/or proposed roads 

or access routes to be used in 

connection with the operations as set 

forth in 228.12 on access and the 

approximate location and size of areas 

where surface resources will be 

disturbed; and (3) information sufficient 

to describe the type of operations 

proposed and how they would be 

conducted, the type and standard of 

existing and proposed roads or access 

routes, the means of transportation used 

or to be used as set forth in 228.12, the 

period during which the proposed 

activity will take place, and measures to 

be taken to meet the requirements for 

environmental protection in 36 CFR 

228.8. 

A Notice of Intent includes the 

following information: (1) Information 

sufficient to identify the area involved; 

(2) the nature of the proposed operation; 

(3) the route of access to the area of 

operations; and (4) the method of 

transport. A Cessation of Operations 

statement includes verification of intent 

to maintain structures, equipment, and 

other facilities; expected reopening date; 

and an estimate of extended durations 

of operations. 

These collections of information are 

crucial for protecting surface resources, 

plants, animals and their habitat, as well 

as the public safety on National Forest 

System lands. The collected information 

will help ensure that the exploration, 

development, and production of mineral 

resources are conducted in an 

environmentally sensitive manner; that 

these mineral operations are integrated 

with the planning and management of 

other resources using the principles of 

ecosystem management; and, that lands 

disturbed by minerals operations are 

reclaimed using the best scientific 

knowledge and principles and returned 

to other productive uses. 

The following table shows the 

estimated time it takes an operator for 

an average Plan of Operations, Notice of 

Intent, and a Cessation of Operations to 

gather the appropriate information and 

put it into a logical order before 

submitting it to the Forest Service. The 

table also shows the number of the 

various types of locatable mineral 

operations received:

Comment is invited on: (1) Whether 

this collection of information is 

necessary for the stated purposes and 

the proper performance of the functions 

of the agency, including whether the 

information will have practical or 

scientific utility; (2) the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

collection of information, including the 

validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (4) 

ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on 

respondents, including the use of 

automated, electronic, mechanical, or 

other technological collection 

techniques or other forms of information 

technology. 

All comments received in response to 

this notice, including names and 

addresses when provided, will be a 

matter of public record. Comments will 

be summarized and included in the 

submission for Office of Management 

and Budget approval.

Notice of Correction to Notice of Final 

Results of Antidumping Duty 

Administrative Review: Carbon and 

Certain Alloy Steel Wire Rod from 

Canada

AGENCY: Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce.

EFFECTIVE DATE: December 22, 2004

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Daniel O’Brien or David Neubacher, at 

(202) 482–1376 or (202) 482–5823,

U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th 

Street & Constitution Avenue, NW, 

Washington, DC 20230.

CORRECTION:

On November 24, 2004, the 

Department of Commerce (the 

Department) published its final results 

of the antidumping administrative 

review of the order of carbon and 

certain alloy steel wire rod (subject 

merchandise) from Canada for the 

period April 10, 2002, through 

September 30, 2003. See Notice of Final 

Results of Antidumping Duty 

Administrative Review: Carbon and 

Certain Alloy Steel Wire Rod from 

Canada 69 FR 68309 (November 24, 

2004). Subsequent to the issuance of the 

final results, we identified an 

inadvertent error in the Federal 

Register.

In the ‘‘Assessment’’ section of the 

review notice, the Department indicated 

that it would ‘‘issue appropriate 

assessment instructions directly to CBP 

within 15 days of publication of these 

final results of review.’’ The ‘‘within 15 

days of publication’’ description is 

incorrect in the notice. Section 356.8 of 

the applicable regulations provides that 

the Department shall not order 

liquidation until the ‘‘forty–first day 

after the date of publication of the 

notice ...’’ following an administrative 

review of merchandise exported from 

Canada or Mexico. Accordingly, the 

notice should be corrected to indicate 

that the Department will send 

assessment instructions to CBP ‘‘on or 

after the 41st day after publication.’’

This correction is issued and 

published in accordance with section 

777(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended.
