Over the past 6 years, the CDFG has 

planted over 49 million combined 

salmon and trout in hundreds of 

locations, including some high 

mountain lakes, low elevation 

reservoirs, and various streams and 

creeks. It is anticipated that the 

production of trout species will increase 

as a result of the implementation of AB 

7. This increase in production will be 

achieved through options within the 

existing hatchery system and through 

the continued assistance of SFRA 

funding. If the SFRA funding is 

withdrawn, it may be necessary for 

CDFG to cut other activities to meet the 

AB 7 fish production goals. The CDFG 

has also issued approximately 80 

private stocking permits annually, with 

the majority being issued to individuals 

stocking rainbow, brook and brown 

trout; channel and bullhead catfish; 

large mouth bass; white and black 

crappie; bluegill; redear; mosquito-fish; 

white and green sturgeon; and triploid 

grass carp. 

Purpose and Need 

The EIS must explain the underlying 

purpose and need to which the Lead 

Agency is responding in proposing the 

action. The purpose of this FWS action 

is to provide Federal SFRA funds to 

CDFG to support actions associated with 

their fish hatchery and stocking program 

(the 13 trout hatcheries (listed above) 

and the Mad River anadromous fish 

hatchery) to provide sportfishing 

recreation in California. The funds are 

needed to support angler success within 

both urban and rural waterbodies. SFRA 

funds will not, however, be used to 

support private stocking permits. 

Alternatives 

Proposed Action Alternative 

Under the proposed action, FWS will 

continue to provide funding for CDFG’s 

13 hatcheries and the Mad River 

anadromous fish hatchery. 

No Action Alternative 

Under the No Action Alternative, the 

FWS would not approve SFRA grant 

funds to be used by CDFG to support 

actions associated with the operations of 

their fish hatcheries and fish stocking 

program. Because of the State statutory 

and public trust requirements related to 

the hatchery program, CDFG would 

attempt to continue to implement its 

State hatchery program, seeking other 

funding sources to replace the Federal 

funds. 

Other Alternatives 

In the EIS, FWS will consider a range 

of alternatives that could accomplish 

the proposed action’s purpose and need. 

FWS will be rigorously exploring and 

objectively evaluating a reasonable 

range of alternatives with the proposed 

action and no action alternatives, taking 

into account the feasibility of the 

alternatives, as well as the ability to 

address significant impacts on the 

human environment.

Comments Received on the 60-Day 

Federal Register Notice: The NPS 

published a 60-day notice to solicit 

public comments on this ICR in the 

Federal Register on May 13, 2008 (Vol. 

73, No. 93, Page 27553–27554). The 

comment period closed on July 14, 

2008. After notification to stakeholders 

requesting comments, the NPS received 

one comment as a result of the 

publication of this 60-day Federal 

Register notice. 

The commenter suggested that the 

program should be shut-down to avoid 

wasteful spending. The NPS replied to 

the comment, indicating that the VSC 

Project is how the NPS complies with 

the Government Performance and 

Results Act of 1993. In compliance with 

this law, the NPS implemented the 

project in 1998. The project continues to 

be the only source of visitor satisfaction 

information across the entire system on 

an annual basis. Parks collect valuable 

information about visitor satisfaction 

with facilities, services, and recreational 

opportunities available at all the NPS 

sites across the country, Guam, Puerto 

Rico, and the Virgin Islands. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: National Park Service Visitor 

Survey Card. 

Bureau Form Number: None. 

OMB Number: 1024–0216. 

Expiration Date: To be requested. 

Type of Request: Reinstatement, with 

change, of a previously approved 

collection of information for which 

approval has expired. 

Description of Need: The National 

Park Service (NPS) Act of 1916, 38 Stat 

535, 16 U.S.C. 1, et seq., requires that 

the NPS preserve national parks for the 

use and enjoyment of present and future 

generations. At the field level, this 

means resource preservation, public 

education, facility maintenance and 

operation, and physical developments 

as are necessarily for public use, health, 

and safety. Other federal rules (National 

Environmental Policy Act, 1969 and 

NPS Management Policies) require 

visitor use data in the impact 

assessment of development on users and 

resources as part of each park’s general 

management plan. The Government 

Performance and Results Act (GPRA) of 

1993 (Pub. L. 103–62) requires that the 

NPS develop goals to improve program 

effectiveness and public accountability 

and to measure performance related to 

these goals. The Visitor Survey Card 

(VSC) Project measures performance 

toward those goals through a short 

visitor survey card. The project is an 

element of the NPS Strategic Plan and 

the Department of the Interior (DOI) 

Strategic Plan. 

The NPS has used the VSC to conduct 

surveys at approximately 330 National 

Park System units annually since 1998. 

The purpose of the VSC is to measure 

visitors’ opinions about park facilities, 

services, and recreational opportunities 

in each park unit and System wide. This 

effort is required by GPRA and other 

NPS and DOI strategic planning efforts. 

Data from the proposed survey is 

needed to assess performance regarding 

NPS GPRA goals IIa1 and IIb1. 

The relevant NPS GPRA goals state: 

II. Provide for the public enjoyment 

and visitor experience of parks; 

IIa1. 95% of park visitors are satisfied 

with appropriate park facilities, 

services, and recreational opportunities; 

IIb1. 86% of park visitors understand 

and appreciate the significance of the 

park they are visiting. 

In addition, the survey collects data to 

support the DOI Strategic Plan goal on 

visitor satisfaction with the value for 

entrance fees paid to access public lands 

managed by the DOT. NPS performance 

on all goals measured in this study will 

contribute to DOT Department-wide 

performance reports. Results of the VSC 

will also be used by park managers to 

improve visitor services at the 

approximately 330 units of the National 

Park System where the survey is 

administered. 

The VSC is a component of the 

Visitors Services Project, which is 

funded by the NPS through a 

cooperative agreement with the Park 

Studies Unit at the University of Idaho. 

In 1998, the NPS received clearance for 

the Visitor Survey Card (OMB #1024–

0216). When that three-year clearance 

expired on May31, 2001, a new 

clearance was acquired under the 

Programmatic Approval for NPSSponsored Public Surveys (1024–0224, 

NPS #01–003). Clearance was again 

acquired in 2005 under Programmatic 

Approval for NPS-Sponsored Public 

Surveys (1024–0224, NPS #05–004). 

This request is another extension of the 

on-going study. The obligation to 

respond is voluntary. 

Automated Data Collections: This 

information will be collected via mailback surveys and on-site drop-off 

surveys using locked collection boxes. 

No automated data collection will take 

place. 

Description of Respondents: Visitors 

to approximately 330 NPS units. 

Estimated Average Number of 

Respondents: 132,000 respondents 

(94,000 non-respondents and 38,000 

respondents). 

Estimated Average Number of 

Responses: 132,000 responses (94,000 

non-responses and 38,000 responses).

Laminated Woven Sacks from China 

Determinations 

On the basis of the record 1 developed 

in the subject investigations, the United 

States International Trade Commission 

(Commission) determines, pursuant to 

sections 705(b) and 735(b) of the Tariff 

Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1671d(b) and 

1673d(b)) (the Act), that an industry in 

the United States is materially injured 

by reason of imports from China of 

laminated woven sacks, provided for in 

subheading 6305.33.00 of the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States, that have been found by 

the Department of Commerce 

(Commerce) to be subsidized by the 

Government of China and sold in the 

United States at less than fair value 

(LTFV).2

Background 

The Commission instituted these 

investigations effective June 28, 2007, 

following receipt of a petition filed with 

the Commission and Commerce by the 

Laminated Woven Sacks Committee, an 

ad hoc committee composed of five U.S. 

producers of laminated woven sacks. 

Members of the Laminated Woven Sacks 

Committee are: (1) Bancroft Bag, Inc. of 

West Monroe, LA; (2) Coating 

Excellence International, LLC of 

Wrightstown, WI; (3) Hood Packaging 

Corp. of Madison, MS; (4) Mid-America 

Packaging, LLC of Twinsburg, OH; and 

(5) Polytex Fibers Corp. of Houston, TX. 

The final phase of the investigations 

was scheduled by the Commission 

following notification of preliminary 

determinations by Commerce that 

imports of laminated woven sacks from 

China were being subsidized within the 

meaning of section 703(b) of the Act (19 

U.S.C. 1671b(b)) and being sold at LTFV 

within the meaning of section 733(b) of 

the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673b(b)). Notice of 

the scheduling of the final phase of the 

Commission’s investigations and of a 

public hearing to be held in connection 

therewith was given by posting copies 

of the notice in the Office of the 

Secretary, U.S. International Trade 

Commission, Washington, DC, and by 

publishing the notice in the Federal 

Register of February 15, 2008 (73 FR 

8902). The hearing was held in 

Washington, DC, on June 17, 2008, and 

all persons who requested the 

opportunity were permitted to appear in 

person or by counsel. 

The Commission transmitted its 

determinations in these investigations to 

the Secretary of Commerce on July 30, 

2008. The views of the Commission are 

contained in USITC Publication 4025 

(July 2008), entitled Laminated Woven
