Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 173 / Wednesday, September 8, 2010 / Proposed Rules 54541 

Congress. In January 2010, the Secretary 

of Commerce, on the recommendation 

of the Secretary of State, extended for 

one year all foreign policy-based export 

controls then in effect. BIS is now 

soliciting public comment on the effects 

of extending or modifying the existing 

foreign policy-based export controls for 

another year. Among the criteria 

considered in determining whether to 

continue or revise U.S. foreign policybased export controls are the following: 

1. The likelihood that such controls 

will achieve their intended foreign 

policy purposes, in light of other factors, 

including the availability from other 

countries of the goods, software or 

technology proposed for such controls; 

2. Whether the foreign policy 

objective of such controls can be 

achieved through negotiations or other 

alternative means; 

3. The compatibility of the controls 

with the foreign policy objectives of the 

United States and with overall U.S. 

policy toward the country subject to the 

controls; 

4. Whether the reaction of other 

countries to the extension of such 

controls is not likely to render the 

controls ineffective in achieving the 

intended foreign policy objective or be 

counterproductive to U.S. foreign policy 

interests; 

5. The comparative benefits to U.S. 

foreign policy objectives versus the 

effect of the controls on the export 

performance of the United States, the 

competitive position of the United 

States in the international economy, the 

international reputation of the United 

States as a supplier of goods and 

technology; and 

6. The ability of the United States to 

effectively enforce the controls. 

BIS is particularly interested in 

receiving comments on the economic 

impact of proliferation controls. BIS is 

also interested in industry information 

relating to the following: 

1. Information on the effect of foreign 

policy-based export controls on sales of 

U.S. products to third countries (i.e., 

those countries not targeted by 

sanctions), including the views of 

foreign purchasers or prospective 

customers regarding U.S. foreign policybased export controls. 

2. Information on controls maintained 

by U.S. trade partners. For example, to 

what extent do U.S. trade partners have 

similar controls on goods and 

technology on a worldwide basis or to 

specific destinations? 

3. Information on licensing policies or 

practices by our foreign trade partners 

that are similar to U.S. foreign policybased export controls, including license 

review criteria, use of conditions, and 

requirements for pre- and post-shipment 

verifications (preferably supported by 

examples of approvals, denials and 

foreign regulations). 

4. Suggestions for revisions to foreign 

policy-based export controls that would 

bring them more into line with 

multilateral practice. 

5. Comments or suggestions as to 

actions that would make multilateral 

controls more effective. 

6. Information that illustrates the 

effect of foreign policy-based export 

controls on trade or acquisitions by 

intended targets of the controls. 

7. Data or other information on the 

effect of foreign policy-based export 

controls on overall trade at the level of 

individual industrial sectors. 

8. Suggestions as to how to measure 

the effect of foreign policy-based export 

controls on trade. 

9. Information on the use of foreign 

policy-based export controls on targeted 

countries, entities, or individuals. 

BIS is also interested in comments 

relating generally to the extension or 

revision of existing foreign policy-based 

export controls. 

Parties submitting comments are 

asked to be as specific as possible. All 

comments received before the close of 

the comment period will be considered 

by BIS in reviewing the controls and 

developing the report to Congress. 

All comments received in response to 

this notice will be displayed on BIS’s 

Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Web 

site at http://www.bis.doc.gov/foia.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On September 10, 2003, the Treasury 

Department and the IRS published in 

the Federal Register (68 FR 53448, 

REG–146893–02 and REG–115037–00) 

proposed regulations relating to the 

treatment of controlled services 

transactions and the allocation of 

income from intangible property, in 

particular with respect to contributions 

by a controlled party to the value of 

intangible property owned by another 

controlled party. On August 4, 2006, the 

Treasury Department and the IRS 

published in the Federal Register (71 

FR 44466, TD 9278, REG–146893–02, 

REG–115037–00, and REG–138603–03) 

temporary regulations relating to the 

treatment of controlled services 

transactions, the allocation of income 

from intangible property, and 

stewardship expenses under Treas. Reg. 

§ 1.861–8(e)(4). A notice of proposed 

rulemaking cross-referencing the 

temporary regulations was published in 

the Federal Register on the same day 

(71 FR 44247). Written comments 

responding to the notice of proposed 

rulemaking were received, and a public 

hearing was held on October 27, 2006. 

That notice of proposed rulemaking 

superseded the proposed regulations 

published in the Federal Register on 

September 10, 2003. 

On August 4, 2009, the Treasury 

Department and the IRS published in 

the Federal Register (74 FR 38830, TD 

9456) final regulations that are generally 

consistent with the proposed 

regulations that were published on 

August 4, 2006, in the Federal Register 

(71 FR 44247), and removed the 

corresponding temporary regulations.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE 

Forest Service 

36 CFR Part 294 

Special Areas; Roadless Area 

Conservation; Applicability to the 

National Forests in Idaho; Proposed 

Correction 

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA. 

ACTION: Proposed administrative 

correction; request for comment. 

SUMMARY: The Forest Service, U.S. 

Department of Agriculture (USDA), is 

proposing to make administrative 

corrections affecting Big Creek Fringe, 

French Creek, Placer Creek, Secesh, and 

Smith Creek Idaho Roadless Areas on 

the Payette National Forest. These 

corrections will remedy two errors 

regarding regulatory classification and 

mapping that concern Forest Plan 

Special Areas (Big Creek and French 

Creek). Notice is given pursuant to 36 

CFR 294.27(a), that the Chief proposes 

to issue an administrative correction 

after a 30-day public notice and 

opportunity to comment. 

DATES: Comments must be received, in 

writing, on or before October 8, 2010. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments 

concerning this proposed administrative 

correction should be addressed to Idaho 

Roadless Area Payette Correction, 

Northern Region USFS, Federal 

Building, 200 East Broadway, P.O. Box 

7669, Missoula, MT 59807–7669. 

Comments may also be sent via e-mail 

to comments-northern-regionaloffice@fs.fed.us, or via facsimile to 406– 

329–3314. 

All comments, including names and 

addresses when provided, are placed in 

the record and are available for public 

inspection and copying. The public may 

inspect comments received at http:// 

roadless.fs.fed.us. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Idaho Roadless Coordinator Joan 

Dickerson at 406–329–3314. Additional 

information concerning this 

administrative correction, including the 

proposed corrected maps, may be 

obtained on the Internet at http:// 

roadless.fs.fed.us. Individuals who use 

telecommunication devices for the deaf 

(TDD) may call the Federal Information 

Relay Service (FIRS) at 1–800–877–8339 

between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., Eastern 

Standard Time, Monday through Friday. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

following correction is proposed to fix 

technical errors in the Idaho Roadless 

Area Rule published in the Federal 

Register October 16, 2008 (73 FR 61456) 

and associated maps. These corrections 

were discussed with the State of Idaho 

Implementation Committee on 

September 11, 2009, and no concerns 

were expressed by the Committee. 

These corrections would facilitate the 

development of the Big Creek Fuels 

Reduction Project on the Krassel Ranger 

District, Payette National Forest. The 

project is being developed to reduce 

fuels in the wildland urban interface 

around the community of Big Creek. 

The corrections are needed so the 

appropriate treatment may be designed. 

The public should be aware that the 

indexing of management themes for 

individual Idaho Roadless Areas set 

forth in § 294.29 is an approximation (to 

the nearest hundred acres). 

Corrections Regarding Big Creek 

The Idaho Roadless Rule and 

associated maps mistakenly identify a 

Forest Plan Special Area (Wild and 

Scenic River) along Big Creek. During 

the Idaho rulemaking, Forest Plan 

Special Areas were identified where the 

management is governed by specific 

Agency directives and forest plan 

direction. The 2003 Southwest Idaho 

Ecogroup Land and Resource 

Management Plan Final Environmental 

Impact Statement (FEIS) included an 

eligibility study for Big Creek. However, 

the Agency’s Record of Decision did not 

find Big Creek eligible for Wild and 

Scenic River designation. As the Payette 

Forest Plan did not establish a special 

management area, the Idaho rulemaking 

and associated maps should be 

conformed to remove this erroneous 

classification. These proposed 

corrections occur in T20N, R8E, sections 

13–14 and 22–24; T20N, R9E, sections 

2–3, 10, 15, and 17–18; T21N, R9E, 

sections 13, 23–24, 26, and 34–36, Boise 

Meridian. 

Summary of Proposed Changes 

The rule and associated maps will be 

corrected as follows: 

• Big Creek Fringe Idaho Roadless 

Area: Change 365 acres of Forest Plan 

Special Area to Backcountry/Restoration 

and deletes 3 acres of private 

ownership. The FPSA classification will 

be removed in the rule. 

• Placer Creek Idaho Roadless Area: 

Change 98 acres of Forest Plan Special 

Area to Backcountry/Restoration; and 14 

acres of Forest Plan Special Area to 

Primitive. The FPSA classification will 

be removed in the rule. 

• Secesh Idaho Roadless Area: 

Change 1,086 acres of Forest Plan 

Special Area to Backcountry/ 

Restoration. 

• Smith Creek Roadless Area: Change 

14 acres of Forest Plan Special Area to 

Primitive. 

Correction Regarding French Creek 

The Idaho Roadless Rule erroneously 

did not identify an existing Forest Plan 

Special area for the Wild and Scenic 

River corridor along Lake Creek in the 

French Creek Idaho Roadless Area. The 

2003 Southwest Idaho Ecogroup Land 

and Resource Management Plan Final 

Environmental Impact Statement 

included a suitability study for the 

Secesh River, including Lake Creek. The 

Record of Decision found the Secesh 

River, including Lake Creek, eligible for 

Wild and Scenic River designation and 

the Payette National Forest Land and 

Resource Management Plans established 

a special management area. Therefore,
