accordance with the Organic 

Administration Act. In addition, by 

extending contracts and avoiding 

defaults, closures and bankruptcies, the 

Government avoids the difficult, 

lengthy, expensive, and sometimes 

impossible, process of collecting default 

damages. 

Therefore, pursuant to 16 U.S.C. 472a, 

and the authority delegated to me at 7 

CFR 2.60, I have determined that it is in 

the Substantial Overriding Public 

Interest to extend for up to one year 

certain National Forest System timber 

sales that were awarded prior to January 

1, 2007. This finding does not apply to 

(1) contracts that have been or are 

currently eligible to be extended under 

MRCTA contract provisions, except 

sales using the Hardwood Lumber index 

that were awarded after December 31, 

2005, (2) salvage sale contracts that were 

sold with the objective of harvesting 

deteriorating timber, (3) contracts the 

Forest Service determines are in urgent 

need of harvesting due to deteriorating 

timber conditions that have developed 

following award of the contract, or (4) 

contracts that are in breach. Total 

contract length shall not exceed 10 years 

as a result of this extension. For those 

contracts extended pursuant to this 

finding, periodic payments due after the 

date of this determination will also be 

deferred for up to one year. To receive 

the extension and periodic payment 

deferral, purchasers must make written 

request and agree to release the Forest 

Service from all claims and liability if 

a contract extended pursuant to this 

finding is suspended, modified, or 

terminated in the future.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Emergency Watershed 

Protection Program. 

OMB Number: 0578–0030. 

Expiration Date of Approval: July 31, 

2008. 

Type of Request: To request 

comments on a currently approved 

collection for which approval will 

expire. 

Abstract: The primary objective of the 

Natural Resources Conservation Service 

(NRCS) is to work in partnership with 

the American people and the farming 

and ranching community to conserve 

and sustain our natural resources. The 

purpose of Emergency Watershed 

Protection Program (EWP) information 

collection is to provide EWP assistance 

to sponsors to undertake emergency 

measures to retard runoff and prevent 

soil erosion to safeguard lives and 

property from floods, drought, and the 

products of erosion on any watershed 

whenever fire, flood, or other natural 

disaster is causing or has caused a 

sudden impairment of that watershed. 

The sponsor’s request is submitted 

formally as a letter (now the Appendix 

to the NRCS–PDM–20A) to the NRCS 

State Conservationist for consideration. 

The NRCS–PDM–20, Damage Survey 

Report (DSR), is the agency decisionmaking document that includes the 

economic, social, and environmental 

evaluation and the engineer’s cost 

estimate. 

This information collection allows the 

responsible Federal official to make 

EWP Program eligibility determinations 

and provide Federal cost-share 

contribution to complete the measures. 

This request is necessary to implement 

the EWP Program for which NRCS has 

statutory authority. 

The table below lists the forms in this 

collection, the uses for each document, 

and the applicable programs. These 

forms constitute this information 

collection and reflect the documents 

used by EWP sponsors to request 

participation in the recovery program.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

(the Department) has obtained 

information with respect to Pasta Lensi 

S.r.l. (Lensi), a producer/exporter of 

pasta from Italy, and American Italian 

Pasta Company (AIPC), Lensi’s 

corporate parent and importer of subject 

merchandise produced by Lensi, 

sufficient to warrant the self–initiation 

of a changed circumstances review. 

Interested parties are invited to submit 

comments, as indicated below. 

EFFECTIVE DATE: November 19, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On July 24, 1996, the Department 

published in the Federal Register the 

antidumping duty order on pasta from 

Italy (61 FR 38547). Neither Lensi nor 

its predecessor IAPC1 was individually 

investigated during the less–than-fair–

value investigation. The Department 

conducted administrative reviews of 

Lensi/IAPC for the following periods: 

July 1, 2000 - June 30, 2001, July 1, 2001 

- June 30, 2002, and July 1, 2002 - June 

30, 2003. A de minimis margin was 

found for IAPC in the 2000–2001 review
