SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Associated Electric Cooperative, Inc. 

proposes to construct a new 540- 

megawatt gas-fired combustion 

combined-cycle generation unit at the 

existing Chouteau Power Plant in Mayes 

County, Oklahoma with an in-service 

date of early 2011. The proposed 540 

MW generating project will be 

connected to a new 161/345-kV 

substation that will serve both the 

existing and proposed generating 

facilities. This substation will be located 

approximately two miles east of the 

Chouteau Power Plant on 16.7 acres. A 

single circuit 161–kV transmission line 

would be constructed from the existing 

Chouteau Power Plant to the new 345/ 

161–kV substation and a single circuit 

345–kV line will be constructed from 

the new substation to the existing Grand 

River Dam Authority (GRDA) Coal-Fired 

Power Plant. Government agencies, 

private organizations, and the public are 

invited to participate in the planning 

and analysis of the proposed project. 

Representatives from the Agency and 

Associated Electric Cooperative, Inc. 

will be available at the scoping meeting 

to discuss the environmental review 

process, describe the proposal, discuss 

the scope of environmental issues to be 

considered, answer questions, and 

accept comments. Comments regarding 

the proposed action may be submitted 

(orally or in writing) at the public 

scoping meetings or in writing for 

receipt no later than October 16, 2008 to 

the Agency at the address provided in 

this notice. 

From information provided in the 

Alternatives Report, input that may be 

provided by government agencies, 

private organizations, and the public, 

Associated Electric Cooperative, Inc. 

will prepare an environmental analysis 

to be submitted to the Agency for 

review. The Agency will review the 

environmental analysis to determine the 

significance of the impacts of the 

proposal and if acceptable will adopt it 

as its environmental assessment (EA) of 

the proposal. The Agency’s EA would 

be available for review and comment for 

30 days. Should the Agency determine, 

based on the EA for the proposal, that 

impacts associated with the 

construction and operation of the 

proposal would not have a significant 

environmental impact, it will prepare a 

finding of no significant impact 

(FONSI). Public notification of a FONSI 

would be published in the Federal 

Register and in newspapers with 

circulation in the proposal area.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

Foreign–Trade Zones Board 

Docket 47–2008 

Foreign–Trade Zone 189 Kent/Ottawa/ 

Muskegon Counties, Michigan, 

Application for Subzone, Wolverine 

World Wide, Inc. (Footwear and 

Apparel Distribution) 

An application has been submitted to 

the Foreign–Trade Zones Board (the 

Board) by the Kent–Ottawa-Muskegon 

Foreign Trade Zone Authority, grantee 

of FTZ 189, requesting special–purpose 

subzone status for the footwear and 

apparel distribution facilities of 

Wolverine World Wide, Inc. 

(Wolverine), located in Rockford, Cedar 

Springs and Howard City, Michigan. 

The application was submitted pursuant 

to the provisions of the Foreign–Trade 

Zones Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a– 

81u), and the regulations of the Board 

(15 CFR part 400). It was formally filed 

on August 25, 2008. 

The proposed subzone would include 

Wolverine’s facilities at 3 sites located 

within the Grand Rapids, Michigan port 

of entry area: Site 1 (265 acres) - 9341 

Courtland Drive, in Rockford; Site 2 (19 

acres) - 660 West Street S NE, in Cedar 

Springs; and, Site 3 (26 acres) - 214 East 

Washburn Street, in Howard City. Site 

1 is owned by Wolverine while sites 2 

and 3 are leased. The facilities are used 

for warehousing and distribution of both 

foreign–origin and domestic footwear, 

apparel and gear for both the U.S. 

market and export. The application 

states that all textile and apparel 

products classified under Textile Import 

Quota categories would be admitted to 

the proposed subzone under domestic 

(duty–paid) status (19 CFR Sec. 146.41). 

FTZ procedures would be used to help 

support Wolverine’s Michigan–based 

import and distribution activity. 

FTZ procedures would exempt 

Wolverine from Customs duty payments 

on foreign products that are re– 

exported. On domestic sales, duty 

payments would be deferred until the 

foreign merchandise is shipped from the 

facilities and entered for consumption. 

The company would also realize 

significant logistical benefits related to 

the use of direct delivery and weekly 

customs entry procedures. The 

application indicates that the savings 

from the use of FTZ procedures would 

help improve the company’s 

international competitiveness and help 

facilitate the company’s plans to grow 

their export market. 

In accordance with the Board’s 

regulations, Christopher Kemp of the 

FTZ staff is designated examiner to 

investigate the application and report to 

the Board. 

Public comment is invited from 

interested parties. Submissions (original 

and 3 copies) shall be addressed to the 

Board’s Executive Secretary at the 

address below. The closing period for 

their receipt is November 3, 2008. 

Rebuttal comments in response to 

material submitted during the foregoing 

period may be submitted during the 

subsequent 15-day period (to November 

17, 2008). 

A copy of the application and 

accompanying exhibits will be available 

at each of the following addresses: U.S. 

Department of Commerce Export 

Assistance Center, 401 West Fulton 

Street, Suite 349C, Grand Rapids, MI
