Notice of Proposed Changes to the 

Natural Resources Conservation 

Service’s National Handbook of 

Conservation Practices 

AGENCY: Natural Resources 

Conservation Service, USDA. 

ACTION: Notice of availability of 

proposed changes in the Natural 

Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) 

National Handbook of Conservation 

Practices for public review and 

comment. 

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given of the 

intention of NRCS to issue a series of 

revised conservation practice standards 

in its National Handbook of 

Conservation Practices. These standards 

include: Deep Tillage (Code 324); Waste 

Transfer (Code 634); and, Road/Trail/ 

Landing Closure and Treatment (Code 

654). NRCS State Conservationists who 

choose to adopt these practices for use 

within their States will incorporate 

them into Section IV of their respective 

electronic Field Office Technical Guide. 

These practices may be used in 

conservation systems that treat highly 

erodible land or on land determined to 

be a wetland. 

DATES: Effective Dates: Comments will 

be received for a 30-day period 

commencing with this date of 

publication. Final versions of these new 

or revised conservation practice 

standards will be adopted after the close 

of the 30-day period and after 

consideration of all comments. 

ADDRESSES: Comments should be 

submitted by one of the following 

methods: 

1. In writing to: Noller Herbert, 

Director, Conservation Engineering 

Division, Natural Resources 

Conservation Service, Post Office Box 

2890, Washington, DC 20013–2890; or 

2. Electronically via e-mail to: 

Noller.herbert@wdc.usda.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION: Copies of 

these standards can be downloaded or 

printed from the following Web site: 

ftp://ftp-fc.sc.egov.usda.gov/NHQ/ 

practice-standards/federal-register/. 

Single copies of paper versions of these 

standards also are available from NRCS 

in Washington, DC. Submit individual 

inquiries in writing to Noller Herbert, 

Director, Conservation Engineering 

Division, Natural Resources 

Conservation Service, Post Office Box 

2890, Room 6139-South, Washington, 

DC 20013–2890; or e-mail: 

Noller.herbert@wdc.usda.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

amount of the proposed changes varies 

considerably for each of the 

Conservation Practice Standards 

addressed in this Notice. To fully 

understand the proposed changes, 

individuals are encouraged to compare 

these changes with each standard’s 

current version shown at: http:// 

www.nrcs.usda.gov/technical/ 

Standards/nhcp.html. To aid in this 

comparison, the following are highlights 

of the proposed revisions to each 

standard: 

Deep Tillage (Code 324)—Only minor 

edits were made to this standard. 

Waste Transfer (Code 634)—This 

practice standard was expanded to 

encompass manure and other byproducts of agricultural operations. 

Previously, the standard only addressed 

manure. 

(a) This standard applies where 

excess by-products (wastes) accumulate 

and can be transferred to an area for 

utilization as a resource. 

(b) The Criteria Section is expanded 

by adding a description of solid-liquid 

separation and a clarification of cleanout access requirements. 

Road/Trail/Landing Closure and 

Treatment (Code 654)—This is a new 

practice standard developed to address 

primarily the closure of existing farm, 

ranch, and forest roads to minimize 

their environmental impact. 

Section 343 of the Federal Agriculture 

Improvement and Reform Act of 1996 

requires NRCS to make available for 

public review and comment all 

proposed revisions to conservation 

practice standards used to carry out the 

highly erodible land and wetland 

provisions of the law. For the next 30 

days, NRCS will receive comments 

relative to the proposed changes. 

Following that period, a determination 

will be made by NRCS regarding 

disposition of those comments, and a 

final determination of changes will be 

made.

Antidumping Duty Order: Raw Flexible 

Magnets from the People’s Republic of 

China 

AGENCY: Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

EFFECTIVE DATE: September 17, 2008. 

SUMMARY: Based on affirmative final 

determinations by the Department of 

Commerce (the ‘‘Department’’) and the 

International Trade Commission 

(‘‘ITC’’), the Department is issuing an 

antidumping duty order on raw flexible 

magnets from the People’s Republic of 

China (‘‘PRC’’). On August 25, 2008, the 

ITC notified the Department of its 

affirmative final determination. See Raw 

Flexible Magnets from China and 

Taiwan, Investigation Nos. 701–TA–452 

and 731–TA–1129 and 731–TA–1130 

(Final), USITC Publication 4030 (August 

2008). 

The Department released a Notice of 

Antidumping Duty Order to the parties 

on August 27, 2008. However, the 

August 27, 2008, notice contained 

incorrect language regarding suspension 

of liquidation. This notice contains the 

correct language. See ‘‘Antidumping 

Duty Order’’ section below. The error 

was discovered prior to publication in 

the Federal Register. Consequently, this 

notice is being published in its place.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On July 10, 2008, the Department 

published the Final Determination of 

Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Raw 

Flexible Magnets from the People’s 

Republic of China, 73 FR 39669 (July 10, 

2008). On August 25, 2008, in 

accordance with section 735(d) of the 

Act, the ITC notified the Department of 

its final determination, pursuant to 

section 735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Tariff Act 

of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’), that an 

industry in the United States is 

threatened with material injury by 

reason of less–than-fair–value imports 

of subject merchandise from the PRC. 

See Letter from the ITC to the Secretary 

of Commerce, ‘‘Notification of Final 

Affirmative Determination of Raw 

Flexible Magnets from the People’s 

Republic of China and Taiwan 

(Investigation Nos. 701–TA–452 and 

731–TA–1129 and 731–TA–1130),’’ 

dated August 25, 2008. Pursuant to 

section 736(a) of the Act, the 

Department is publishing an 

antidumping duty order on the subject 

merchandise. 

Scope of Order 

The products covered by this order 

are certain flexible magnets regardless of 

shape,1 color, or packaging.2 Subject 

flexible magnets are bonded magnets 

composed (not necessarily exclusively) 

of (i) any one or combination of various 

flexible binders (such as polymers or 

co–polymers, or rubber) and (ii) a 

magnetic element, which may consist of 

a ferrite permanent magnet material 

(commonly, strontium or barium ferrite, 

or a combination of the two), a metal 

alloy (such as NdFeB or Alnico), any 

combination of the foregoing with each 

other or any other material, or any other 

material capable of being permanently 

magnetized. 

Subject flexible magnets may be in 

either magnetized or unmagnetized 

(including demagnetized) condition, 

and may or may not be fully or partially 

laminated or fully or partially bonded 

with paper, plastic, or other material, of 

any composition and/or color. Subject 

flexible magnets may be uncoated or 

may be coated with an adhesive or any 

other coating or combination of 

coatings. 

Specifically excluded from the scope 

of this order are printed flexible 

magnets, defined as flexible magnets 

(including individual magnets) that are 

laminated or bonded with paper, 

plastic, or other material if such paper, 

plastic, or other material bears printed 

text and/or images, including but not 

limited to business cards, calendars, 

poetry, sports event schedules, business 

promotions, decorative motifs, and the 

like. This exclusion does not apply to 

such printed flexible magnets if the 

printing concerned consists of only the 

following: a trade mark or trade name; 

country of origin; border, stripes, or 

lines; any printing that is removed in 

the course of cutting and/or printing 

magnets for retail sale or other 

disposition from the flexible magnet; 

manufacturing or use instructions (e.g., 

‘‘print this side up,’’ ‘‘this side up,’’ 

‘‘laminate here’’); printing on adhesive 

backing (that is, material to be removed 

in order to expose adhesive for use such 

as application of laminate) or on any 

other covering that is removed from the 

flexible magnet prior or subsequent to 

final printing and before use; non– 

permanent printing (that is, printing in 

a medium that facilitates easy removal, 

permitting the flexible magnet to be re– 

printed); printing on the back (magnetic) 

side; or any combination of the above. 

All products meeting the physical 

description of subject merchandise that 

are not specifically excluded are within 

the scope of this order. The products 

subject to the order are currently 

classifiable principally under 

subheadings 8505.19.10 and 8505.19.20 

of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of 

the United States (‘‘HTSUS’’). The 

HTSUS subheadings are provided only 

for convenience and customs purposes; 

the written description of the scope of 

the order is dispositive. 

Antidumping Duty Order 

In accordance with section 736(a)(1) 

of the Act, the Department will direct 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(‘‘CBP’’) to assess, upon further 

instruction by the Department, 

antidumping duties equal to the amount 

by which the normal value of the 

merchandise exceeds the export price 

(or constructed export price) of the 

merchandise for all relevant entries of 

raw flexible magnets from the PRC. 

According to section 736(b)(2) of the 

Act, duties shall be assessed on subject 

merchandise entered, or withdrawn 

from warehouse, for consumption on or 

after the date of publication of the ITC’s 

notice of final determination if that 

determination is based on the threat of 

material injury and is not accompanied 

by a finding that injury would have 

resulted without the imposition of 

suspension of liquidation of entries 

since the Department’s preliminary 

determination. In addition, section 

736(b)(2) of the Act requires CBP to 

refund any cash deposits or bonds of 

estimated antidumping duties posted 

since the preliminary antidumping 

determination if the ITC’s final 

determination is threat–based. 

Because the ITC’s final determination 

is based on the threat of material injury 

and is not accompanied by a finding 

that injury would have resulted but for 

the imposition of suspension of 

liquidation of entries since the 

Preliminary Determination of Sales at
