448 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 2 / Thursday, January 3, 2008 / Notices 

comment period on the draft EIS will 

extend 45 days from the date the EPA 

notice appears in the Federal Register. 

At that time, copies of the draft EIS will 

be distributed to interested and affected 

agencies, organizations, and members of 

the public for their review and 

comment. It is very important that those 

interested in the management of the 

Plumas National Forest participate at 

that time. 

The final EIS is scheduled to be 

completed in December, 2008. In the 

final EIS, the Forest Service is required 

to respond to comments received during 

the comment period that pertain to the 

environmental consequences discussed 

in the draft EIS and applicable laws, 

regulations, and policies considered in 

making the decision. Submission of 

comments is a prerequisite for eligibility 

to appeal under the 36 CFR part 215 

regulations. 

Comment Requested 

This notice of intent initiates the 

scoping process which guides the 

development of the environmental 

impact statement. 

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 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 environmental 

impact 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

702 of the Trade Agreements Act of 

1979 (as amended) (‘‘the Act’’) requires 

the Department of Commerce (‘‘the 

Department’’) to determine, in

respect to any article of cheese subject 

to an in–quota rate of duty, as defined 

in section 702(h) of the Act, and to 

publish an annual list and quarterly

articles of cheese subject to an in–quota

Continuation of Antidumping Duty 

Order on Low Enriched Uranium From 

France 

AGENCY: Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: As a result of the 

determination by the Department of 

Commerce (the Department) and the 

International Trade Commission (ITC) 

that revocation of the antidumping duty 

order on Low Enriched Uranium (LEU) 

from France would likely lead to a 

continuation or recurrence of dumping 

and material injury to an industry in the 

United States, the Department is 

publishing a notice of continuation for 

this antidumping duty order. 

DATES: Effective Date: January 3, 2008. 

Contact Information: Douglas Kirby or 

Dana Mermelstein, AD/CVD Operations, 

Office 6, Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th 

Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., 

Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 

482–3782 or (202) 482–1391, 

respectively. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The Department initiated and the ITC 

instituted sunset reviews of the 

antidumping duty order on LEU from 

France, pursuant to section 751(c) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). 

See Initiation of Five-Year (‘‘Sunset’’) 

Reviews, 72 FR 100 (January 3, 2007) 

(Notice of Initiation). 

As a result of its review, the 

Department found that a revocation of 

the antidumping duty order would 

likely lead to a continuation or 

recurrence of dumping, and therefore 

notified the ITC of the magnitude of the 

margins likely to prevail were the order 

to be revoked. See Final Results of 

Expedited Sunset Review: 

Countervailing Duty Order on Low
