conditions to ensure that desired 

condition objectives are met, or that 

movement occurs toward those 

objectives. Whether or not to allow 

livestock grazing on three recently 

acquired parcels and one vacant grazing 

unit will also be decided, and if so, 

under what conditions. 

Scoping Process 

Comments and input regarding the 

proposal are currently being requested 

from the public, other groups and 

agencies via direct mailing. Comments 

are due by December 3, 2007. Response 

to the draft EIS will be sought from the 

interested public in May and June 2008. 

Comment Requested 

This notice of intent initiates the 

scoping process which guides the 

development of the environmental 

impact statement. It is the District’s 

desire to involve interested parties in 

identifying the issues related to grazing 

management. Comments will help the 

planning team identify key issues used 

to develop adaptive management tools, 

monitoring strategies, and alternatives. 

Persons who submitted comments 

previously need not resubmit those 

same comments in response to this 

request. Comments submitted 

previously will continue to be 

considered. 

Early Notice of Importance of Public 

Participation in Subsequent 

Environmental Review: A draft 

environmental impact statement will be 

prepared for comment. The comment 

period on the draft environmental 

impact statement will be 45 days from 

the date the Environmental Protection 

Agency publishes the notice of 

availability in the Federal Register. 

The Forest Service believes, at this 

early stage, it is important to give 

reviewers notice 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 environmental impact 

statement stage but that are not raised 

until after completion of the final 

environmental impact statement 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. 

1334, 1338 (E.D. Wis. 1980). Because of 

these court rulings, it is very important 

that those interested in this proposed 

action participate by the close of the 45- 

day comment period so that substantive 

comments and objections are made 

available to the Forest Service at a time 

when it can meaningfully consider them 

and respond to them in the final 

environmental impact statement. 

To assist the Forest Service in 

identifying and considering issues and 

concerns on the proposed action, 

comments on the draft environmental 

impact statement should be as specific 

as possible. It is also helpful if 

comments refer to specific pages or 

chapters of the draft statement. 

Comments may also address the 

adequacy of the draft environmental 

impact statement or the merits of the 

alternatives formulated and discussed in 

the statement. Reviewers may wish to 

refer to the Council on Environmental 

Quality Regulations for implementing 

the procedural provisions of the 

National Environmental Policy Act at 40 

CFR 1503.3 in addressing these points. 

Comments received, including the 

names and addresses of those who 

comment, will be considered part of the 

public record on this proposal and will 

be available for public inspection.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

Foreign–Trade Zones Board 

[Docket T–5–2007] 

Foreign–Trade Zone 38 – Spartanburg 

County, SC, Application for 

Temporary/Interim Manufacturing 

Authority, Kittel Supplier USA, Inc., 

(Automotive Roof/Luggage Racks), 

Duncan, SC 

An application has been submitted to 

the Executive Secretary of the Foreign–

Trade Zones Board (the Board) by the 

South Carolina State Ports Authority, 

grantee of FTZ 38, requesting 

temporary/interim manufacturing (T/ 

IM) authority within FTZ 38 at the 

Kittel Supplier USA, Inc. (KSU) facility 

in Duncan, South Carolina. The 

application was filed on October 26, 

2007. 

The KSU facility (25 employees) is 

located at 201 Commerce Court within 

the Highway 290 Commerce Park in 

Duncan (Site 3). Under T/IM 

procedures, KSU would assemble 

automotive roof/luggage racks (HTSUS 

8708.29) for the U.S. market and export. 

Foreign components that would be used 

in the assembly activity (up to 100% of 

total purchases) include: aluminum rails 

and support legs (8708.29), plastic 

support legs (8708.99), brackets 

(8708.29), fasteners (7318.15, 7318.19, 

7318.29) and rubber seals (4016.93) 

(duty rates: free - 5.7%). 

FTZ procedures could exempt KSU 

from Customs duty payments on the 

foreign components used in production 

for export. On domestic shipments 

transferred in–bond to U.S. automobile 

assembly plants with subzone status, no 

duties would be paid on the foreign 

components within the roof/luggage 

racks until the finished vehicles are 

subsequently entered for consumption, 

at which time the finished automobile 

duty rate (2.5%) could be applied to the 

foreign components. For the finished 

roof/luggage racks withdrawn directly 

by KSU for customs entry, the finished 

automotive part rate (2.5%) could be 

applied to the foreign inputs noted 

above.
