prompt competitive interest in unleased 

Federal coal in this area. The alternate 

tract configurations for each of the LBAs 

that BLM is evaluating are described 

and analyzed as separate alternatives in 

the DEIS. Under these alternatives, 

competitive sales would be held and 

leases issued for Federal coal lands 

included in tracts modified by the BLM. 

The DEIS also analyzes the alternative 

of rejecting the application(s) to lease 

Federal coal as the No Action 

Alternative. The Proposed Actions and 

alternatives for each of the LBAs being 

considered in the DEIS are in 

conformance with the Approved 

Resource Management Plan for Public 

Lands Administered by the Bureau of 

Land Management Buffalo Field Office 

(2001). 

Requests to be included on the 

mailing list for this project and to 

request copies of the DEIS or 

notification of the comment period or 

hearing date, or both, may be sent in 

writing, by facsimile, or electronically to 

the addresses previously stated at the 

beginning of this notice. The BLM asks 

that those submitting comments on the 

DEIS make them as specific as possible 

with reference to page numbers and 

chapters of the document. Comments 

that contain only opinions or 

preferences will not receive a formal 

response; however, they will be 

considered as part of the BLM decisionmaking process. 

Please note that comments and 

information submitted including names, 

street addresses, and e-mail addresses of 

respondents will be available for public 

review and disclosure at the above 

address during regular business hours 

(7:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.), Monday

your entire comment—including your 

personal identifying information—may 

be made publicly available at any time. 

While you can ask us in your comment 

to withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

Bureau of Land Management 

[OR–930–6350–DQ–047H] HAG–08–0204 

Notice of Availability of the Final 

Environmental Impact Statement for 

the Revision of the Resource 

Management Plans of the Western 

Oregon Bureau of Land Management 

Districts of Salem, Eugene, Roseburg, 

Coos Bay, and Medford, and the 

Klamath Falls Resource Area of the 

Lakeview District 

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of Availability. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

National Environmental Policy Act of 

1969 and the Federal Land Policy and 

Management Act of 1976, the Bureau of 

Land Management (BLM) has prepared 

six Resource Management Plans with a 

single associated Final Environmental 

Impact Statement (RMP/FEIS) for the 

Salem, Eugene, Roseburg, Coos Bay, and 

Medford Districts and the Klamath Falls 

Resource Area of the Lakeview District 

in western Oregon. 

DATES: The Assistant Secretary of the 

Interior for Land and Minerals 

Management is the responsible official 

for the RMP. Accordingly, there will be 

no administrative review ‘‘protest’’ on 

the RMP/FEIS under 43 CFR 1610.5–2. 

The Record of Decision (ROD) will not 

be signed until at least 30 days after the 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 

publishes this notice of availability of 

the Final EIS in the Federal Register. 

ADDRESSES: Copies of the RMP/FEIS 

have been sent to affected federal, state, 

and local government agencies, and to 

tribal governments. Interested persons 

may review the RMP/FEIS on the 

Internet at http://www.blm.gov/or/ 

plans/wopr/index.php. Copies of the 

RMP/FEIS are available for public 

inspection at Salem, Eugene, Roseburg, 

Coos Bay, and Medford District offices 

and the Grants Pass, Klamath Falls and 

Tillamook Resource Area offices. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION, CONTACT: 

Jerry Hubbard, Western Oregon Plan 

Revisions Public Outreach Coordinator; 

at (503) 808–6115. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BLM 

has analyzed revision of six Resource 

Management Plans with this single 

Environmental Impact Statement. These 

plans are the Salem, Eugene, Roseburg, 

Medford, and Coos Bay District RMPs 

and the Klamath Falls Resource Area 

RMP. The RMP/FEIS for the Western 

Oregon Bureau of Land Management 

Districts has identified and analyzed 

four action alternatives, including the 

RMP, for managing approximately 

2,550,000 acres of federal land, most of 

which are revested Oregon and 

California Railroad Grant and Coos Bay 

Wagon Road Grant lands, within the 

western Oregon planning area. 

The major resource management plan 

issues include: 

• Providing a sustainable supply of 

wood and other forest products, as 

mandated by the Oregon & California 

Lands Act of 1937, while also meeting 

other applicable laws. 

• Providing for conservation of 

species listed under the Endangered 

Species Act. 

• Contributing to meeting the goals of 

the Clean Water Act and the Safe 

Drinking Water Act. 

• Reducing the risk of wildfire and 

integrating fire back into the ecosystem. 

Comments received on the Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) 

were important in shaping the Resource 

Management Plans. The RMP is based 

on Alternative 2 from the DEIS, but 

includes portions of the other 

alternatives in the DEIS. 

Some of the key changes include: 

• Wider riparian management areas, 

as described in Alternative 1 of the 

DEIS. 

• Late successional management 

areas were reconfigured to match the 

Final Northern Spotted Owl Recovery 

Plan. 

• Deferring harvest for 15 years in 

‘‘older and more structurally complex 

multi-layered conifer stands,’’ as 

described in Final Northern Spotted 

Owl Recovery Plan in the timber 

management area. 

• Using uneven-aged management, as 

described in Alternative 3 of the DEIS, 

in the southern portion of the Medford 

District and the Klamath Falls Resource 

Area to decrease fire hazard and 

increase fire resiliency.

Persons with mobility impairments who 

will need special assistance in gaining 

access to the Commission should

202–205–2000. 

Background: The Commission 

instituted this investigation under 

section 332(g) of the Tariff Act of 1930 

(19 U.S.C. 1332(g)) following receipt on 

May 15, 1992 of a request from the 

USTR. The request asked that the 

Commission conduct an investigation 

assessing the quantitative economic 

effects of significant U.S. import 

restraints on the U.S. economy and 

prepare periodic update reports after the 

initial report. The Commission 

published a notice of institution of the 

investigation in the Federal Register of 

June 17, 1992 (57 FR 27063). The first 

report was delivered to the USTR in 

November 1993, the first update in 

December 1995, the second update in 

May 1999, the third update in June 

2002, the fourth update in June 2004, 

and the fifth update in February 2007. 

As requested by the USTR in a letter 

received on August 22, 2008, the 

Commission in this sixth update will 

include a summary of the major steps 

and results of U.S. trade liberalizing 

efforts since 1934 and the effects of 

liberalization as reported in the 

economic literature. The USTR asked 

that the summary be accessible to 

readers who may not be professional 

economists. As in previous reports in 

this series, the sixth update will 

continue to assess the economic effects 

of significant import restraints on U.S. 

consumers and firms, the income and 

employment of U.S. workers, and the 

net economic welfare of the United 

States. This assessment will use the 

Commission’s computable general 

equilibrium model. However, as per 

earlier instructions from the USTR, the 

Commission will not assess import 

restraints resulting from antidumping or 

countervailing duty investigations, 

section 337 and 406 investigations, or 

section 301 actions. 

Public Hearing: A public hearing in 

connection with this investigation will 

be held beginning at 9:30 a.m. on 

January 8, 2009, at the United States 

International Trade Commission, 500 E 

Street SW., Washington DC. Requests to 

appear at the hearing should be filed 

with the Secretary no later than 5:15 

p.m., December 2, 2008, in accordance 

with the requirements in the ‘‘Written 

Submissions’’ section below. In the 

event that, as of the close of business on 

December 2, 2008, no witnesses are 

scheduled to appear at the hearing, the 

hearing will be canceled. Any person 

interested in attending the hearing as an 

observer or non-participant may call the 

Secretary to the Commission (202–205– 

2000) after December 2, 2008 to 

determine whether the hearing will be 

held. 

Written Submissions: In lieu of or in 

addition to participating in the hearing, 

interested parties are invited to submit 

written statements or briefs concerning 

this investigation. All written 

submissions, including requests to 

appear at the hearing, statements, and 

briefs, should be addressed to the 

Secretary. Any pre-hearing statements 

or briefs should be filed not later than 

5:15 p.m., December 11, 2008; and posthearing statements and briefs and all 

other written submissions should be 

filed not later than 5:15 p.m., February 

6, 2009. All written submissions must 

conform with the provisions of section 

201.8 of the Commission’s Rules of 

Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 201.8). 

Section 201.8 of the rules requires that 

a signed original (or a copy designated 

as an original) and fourteen (14) copies 

of each document be filed. In the event 

that confidential treatment of the 

document is requested, at least four (4) 

additional copies must be filed, in 

which the confidential information 

must be deleted (see the following 

paragraph for further information 

regarding confidential business 

information). The Commission’s rules 

do not authorize filing submissions with 

the Secretary by facsimile or electronic 

means, except to the extent permitted by 

section 201.8 of the rules (see Handbook 

for Electronic Filing Procedures, http:// 

www.usitc.gov/secretary/ 

fed_reg_notices/rules/documents/ 

handbook_on_electronic_filing.pdf ; 

persons with questions regarding 

electronic filing should contact the 

Secretary at 202–205–2000. Any 

submissions that contain confidential 

business information must also conform 

with the requirements of section 201.6 

of the Commission’s Rules of Practice 

and Procedure (19 CFR 201.6). Section 

201.6 of the rules requires that the cover 

of the document and the individual 

pages be clearly marked as to whether 

they are the ‘‘confidential’’ or ‘‘nonconfidential’’ version, and that the 

confidential business information be 

clearly identified by means of brackets. 

All written submissions, except for 

confidential business information, will 

be made available in the Office of the 

Secretary to the Commission for 

inspection by interested parties. 

The USTR stated that her office 

intends to make the Commission’s 

report in this investigation available to 

the public in its entirety and asked that 

the Commission not include any 

confidential business or national 

security information in this report. 

Consequently, the report that the 

Commission sends to the USTR will not 

contain any such information. Any

ACTION: Termination of five-year review. 

SUMMARY: The subject five-year review 

was initiated in July 2008 to determine 

whether revocation of the 

countervailing duty order on DRAMs 

and DRAM modules from Korea would

recurrence of material injury. On 

October 3, 2008, the Department of 

Commerce published notice that it was 

revoking the order effective August 11, 

2008, ‘‘{b}ecause the domestic 

interested party did not file a 

substantive response by the applicable 

deadline and has withdrawn its notice 

of intent to participate in this sunset 

review * * *’’ (73 FR 57594). 

Accordingly, pursuant to section 751(c) 

of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 

1675(c)), the subject review is 

terminated. 

DATES: Effective Date: August 11, 2008.

Notice of Lodging of Amended 

Consent Decree; Under the 

Comprehensive Environmental 

Response, Compensation, and Liability 

Act of 1980 (‘‘CERCLA’’) 

Consistent with Section 122(d) of the 

Comprehensive Environmental 

Response, Compensation, and Liability 

Act of 1980, as amended (‘‘CERCLA’’), 

42 U.S.C. 9622(d), and 28 CFR 50.7, 

notice is hereby given that on October 

7, 2008, the United States lodged an 

Amended Consent in United States of 

America v. Lockheed Martin 

Corporation, et al., Civil No. 4:02–cv– 

146 (USDC W.D. Ky.) for the Green 

River Landfill Superfund Site, located 

in Maceo, Daviess County, Kentucky 

(the ‘‘Site’’). This Court originally 

approved a Consent Decree in this 

matter on September 27, 2002. Since the 

time the original Consent Decree was 

approved by the Court, the ‘‘Settling 

Defendants’’ as defined therein, and the 

United States Environmental Protection 

Agency (‘‘EPA’’) have been unable to 

implement the institutional controls 

required at the Site by Section IX of the 

Consent Decree. Under the proposed 

Amended Consent Decree, one ‘‘Settling 

Defendant,’’ Browning-Ferris Industries 

of Kentucky, Inc. (‘‘BFIKY’’) has or will 

acquire the property needed to institute 

the necessary institutional controls and, 

after entry of the Amended Consent 

Decree, will transfer such property to de 

maximus inc., defined in the proposed 

Amended Consent Decree as the 

‘‘Owner Settling Defendant.’’ In 

addition, BFIKY will donate another 

parcel to Daviess County, which desires 

to keep it as open space. These property 

transfers will permit the remaining 

defendants to institute the required 

institutional controls and the open 

space will be an important buffer 

around the Site. 

Under the proposed Amended 

Consent Decree, in exchange for the 

property transfers referenced above, 

BFIKY will have no further obligations 

under the Amended Consent Decree and 

will receive from the United States a 

covenant not to sue or to take 

administrative action pursuant to 

Sections 106 or 107 of Comprehensive 

Environmental Response, 

Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 

(‘‘CERCLA’’), 42 U.S.C. 9606 and 9607 

as amended, and Section 7003 of the 

Resource Conservation and Recovery 

Act (‘‘RCRA’’), 42 U.S.C. 6973, for the 

United States’ past and future costs at 

the Site. The remaining Settling 

Defendants will receive from the United 

States a covenant not to sue or to take 

administrative action pursuant to 

Sections 106 and 107 of CERCLA, 42 

U.S.C. 9606 and 9607 as amended, and 

Section 7003 of RCRA, in exchange for 

implementing the remedy and required 

institutional controls at the Site and 

paying EPA’s remaining costs under the 

terms of the proposed Amended 

Consent Decree. 

The Department of Justice will receive 

for a period of thirty (30) days from the 

date of this publication comments 

relating to the Consent Decree 

Amendments. Comments should be
