included time and area closures to 

protect gag, the use of gear that does not 

target gag, and changes in gag size and 

bag limits. 

Data collection and monitoring of the 

recreational fishery could be improved 

in terms of both accuracy and timeliness 

to enhance management of the 

recreational sector and application of 

AMs. The Council is evaluating 

methods such as fish tags or a fish 

stamp, and several proposals have been 

directed toward the Council to improve 

the monitoring and management of the 

recreational fishery. These 

recommendations could improve the 

quality and timeliness of information 

needed to assess the different reef fish 

fisheries. 

NMFS, in collaboration with the 

Council, will develop a DEIS to describe 

and analyze management alternatives to 

address the management needs 

described above. Those alternatives 

include, but are not limited to, a ‘‘no 

action’’ alternative regarding each 

action; alternatives to end overfishing of 

gag and rebuild the stock to its MSY 

level; alternatives to adjust gag and red 

grouper ACLs, ACTs, management 

measures, and AMs; alternatives to 

consider recreational sector separation; 

alternatives to revise how multi-use IFQ 

shares are allocated; alternatives to 

reduce gag bycatch; and alternatives to 

improve data collection and monitoring 

of the recreational sector. 

In accordance with NOAA’s 

Administrative Order 216–6, Section 

5.02(c), Scoping Process, NMFS, in 

collaboration with the Council, has 

identified preliminary environmental 

issues as a means to initiate discussion 

for scoping purposes only. These 

preliminary issues may not represent 

the full range of issues that eventually 

will be evaluated in the DEIS. 

Copies of an information packet will 

be available from NMFS (see 

ADDRESSES). 

After the DEIS associated with 

Amendment 32 is completed, it will be 

filed with the Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). The EPA will publish a 

notice of availability of the DEIS for 

public comment in the Federal Register. 

The DEIS will have a 45-day comment 

period. This procedure is pursuant to 

regulations issued by the Council on 

Environmental Quality (CEQ) for 

implementing the procedural provisions 

of the National Environmental Policy 

Act (NEPA; 40 CFR parts 1500–1508) 

and to NOAA’s Administrative Order 

216–6 regarding NOAA’s compliance 

with NEPA and the CEQ regulations. 

NMFS will consider public comments 

received on the DEIS in developing the 

final environmental impact statement 

(FEIS) and before adopting final 

management measures for the 

amendment. NMFS will submit both the 

final amendment and the supporting 

FEIS to the Secretary of Commerce 

(Secretary) for review as per the 

Magnuson-Stevens Act. 

NMFS will announce, through a 

notice published in the Federal 

Register, the availability of the final 

amendment for public review during the 

Department of Commerce Secretarial 

review period. During Secretarial 

review, NMFS will also file the FEIS 

with the EPA and the EPA will publish 

a notice of availability for the FEIS in 

the Federal Register. This comment 

period will be concurrent with the 

Secretarial review period and will end 

prior to final agency action to approve, 

disapprove, or partially approve the 

amendment. 

NMFS will announce, through a 

notice published in the Federal 

Register, all public comment periods on 

the final amendment, its proposed 

implementing regulations, and the 

availability of its associated FEIS. NMFS 

will consider all public comments 

received during the Secretarial review 

period, whether they are on the final 

amendment, the proposed regulations, 

or the FEIS, prior to final agency action.

[Docket 7–2010] 

Foreign–Trade Zone 123 - Denver, 

Colorado, Application for Subzone, 

Vestas Nacelles America, Inc. (Wind 

Turbine Nacelles, Hubs, Blades and 

Towers), Brighton, Denver, Pueblo, 

and Windsor, Colorado 

An application has been submitted to 

the Foreign–Trade Zones Board (the 

Board) by the City and County of 

Denver, grantee of FTZ 123, requesting 

special–purpose subzone status for the 

wind turbine nacelle, hub, blade and 

tower manufacturing and warehousing 

facilities of Vestas Nacelles America, 

Inc. (and related entities) (Vestas) 

located in Brighton, Denver, Pueblo, and 

Windsor, Colorado. 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 January 

25, 2010. 

The Vestas facilities (2,500 

employees) consist of four sites: Site 1 

- manufacturing plant and warehouse 

nacelles, hubs and blades (664,000 

sq.ft./299.1 acres) located at 1500 East 

Crown Prince Boulevard, Brighton, 

Colorado; Site 2 - manufacturing plant 

blades (400,000 sq.ft./80.78 acres) 

located at 11140 Eastman Park Drive, 

Windsor, Colorado; Site 3 - 

manufacturing plant towers (651,000 

sq.ft./811 acres) located at 100 Tower 

Drive, Pueblo; and, Site 4 - warehouse 

wind turbine components (119,983 

sq.ft./5.6 acres) located at 5175 Joliet 

Street, Denver, Colorado. Activity to be 

conducted under FTZ procedures would 

include manufacturing, testing, 

packaging and warehousing of wind 

turbines and related parts (up to 1,560 

nacelles and hubs, 4,200 blades, and 

1,100 towers annually) for the U.S. 

market and export. Foreign–origin 

components (representing up to 50% of 

total material inputs, by value) that 

would be used in the manufacturing 

activity would include grease, oils, 

epoxy/resins, paint, filler, sealant tape, 

adhesives, self–adhesive plates/sheets/ 

film of plastics, gaskets/washers/seals of 

plastics, dampeners, balsa/birch kits, 

plywood, boxes and pallets of wood, 

glass fiber roving and yarn, steel 

columns/posts/pillars/towers, lattice 

masts, wire and cable, fasteners, 

aluminum cloth/grill/mesh, root joints, 

slewing rings, blade bearings, transport 

fixtures (of steel), rope, brackets, 

fittings, flanges, base metal mountings, 

tubes, pipes, doors/gates, linear–acting 

cylinders, electrical equipment, motors, 

generators, batteries, profile projectors 

and parts, ducts, clamps, roller chain, 

control valves, gears, transmission 

shafts, flywheels, pulleys, springs, 

pumps, air/water coolers, filters, 

balancing weights, plates, controllers, 

accumulators, bearings, housings, brake 

parts, heaters, measuring instruments, 

and wind vanes (duty rate range: free - 

13.6%). The application indicates that 

Vestas will admit all foreign–origin 

components ‘‘classified within textile 

import categories’’ to the proposed 

subzone under privileged foreign status 

(19 CFR § 146.41). 

FTZ procedures could exempt Vestas 

from customs duty payments on the 

foreign components and materials used 

in export production (about 25% of 

annual shipments). On domestic 

shipments, the company would be able 

to elect the duty rate that applies to 

finished wind turbine nacelles, hubs, 

blades and towers (duty free) for the 

foreign production inputs noted above.

5284 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 21 / Tuesday, February 2, 2010 / Notices 

Vestas would also be exempt from duty 

payments on any foreign–origin inputs 

that become scrap or waste during 

manufacturing. Subzone status would 

further allow Vestas to realize logistical 

benefits through the use of weekly 

customs entry procedures. The 

application indicates that the savings 

from FTZ procedures would help 

improve the facilities’ international 

competitiveness. 

In accordance with the Board’s 

regulations, Pierre Duy of the FTZ Staff 

is designated examiner to evaluate and 

analyze the facts and information 

presented in the application and case 

record and to report findings and 

recommendations 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 

following address: Office of the 

Executive Secretary, Room 2111, U.S. 

Department of Commerce, 1401 

Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, 

DC 20230–0002. The closing period for 

receipt of comments is April 5, 2010. 

Rebuttal comments in response to 

material submitted during the foregoing 

period may be submitted during the 

subsequent 15-day period to April 19, 

2010. 

A copy of the application will be 

available for public inspection at the
