Game, Fish and Parks personnel 

(Griebel, Bums, Deisch, 2007), and is 

now an amendment to the BHNF LRMP. 

The following species are included on 

this list, and were used to guide habitat 

management objectives for the Norbeck 

project: mountain goat, bighorn sheep, 

elk, white-tailed deer, Merriam’s turkey, 

mountain bluebird, golden-crowned 

kinglet, brown creeper, ruffed grouse, 

song sparrow, northern goshawk and 

black-backed woodpecker. 

Proposed Action 

The Norbeck project proposed action 

includes the following management 

actions: 

Managing vegetation on 

approximately 6,000 acres mechanically 

and by prescribed burning to improve 

habitat for game animals and birds 

within the Norbeck Wildlife Preserve. 

Information on Issues and Additional 

Alternatives 

Issues associated with the Norbeck 

project, as identified through scoping, 

include: wilderness values, wildlife and 

wildlife habitat, large trees, mountain 

pine beetle effects on wildlife habitat 

and potential for escaped fire. The two 

additional action alternatives include 

vegetation treatments to improve 

wildlife habitat, and also include 

prescribed burning within the Black Elk 

Wilderness. 

Responsible Official 

Mr. Lynn D. Kolund, Hell Canyon 

District Ranger, Black Hills National 

Forest, 330 Mount Rushmore Road, 

Custer, SD 57730. 

Nature of Decision To Be Made 

After reviewing the environmental 

analysis and considering public 

comment, the District Ranger will reach 

a decision that is in accord with the 

purpose and need for the project. The 

decision will include, but not be limited 

to: 

(I) Whether or not to undertake 

vegetation treatments to improve habitat 

conditions within Norbeck Wildlife 

Preserve for game animals and birds, 

and 

(2) What actions are appropriate, and 

under what conditions would actions 

take place. 

Early Notice about Importance of 

Public Participation in Subsequent 

Environmental Review: A draft 

environmental impact statement is 

expected to be available for public 

review in September 2009. The 

comment period on the draft 

environmental impact statement will be 

45 days from the date the 

Environmental Protection Agency 

publishes the notice of availability in 

the Federal Register. The Forest Service 

believes that at this early stage it is 

important to give reviewers notice of 

several court rulings related to public 

participation in the environmental 

review process. First, reviewers of draft 

environmental impact statements must 

structure their participation in the 

environmental review of the proposal so 

that it is meaningful and alerts an 

agency to the reviewer’s position and 

contentions. Vermont Yankee Nuclear 

Power Corp. v. NRDC, 435 U.S. 519, 553 

(1978). Also, environmental objections 

that could be raised at the draft 

environmental impact statement stage 

but that are not raised until after 

completion of the final environmental 

impact statement may be waived or 

dismissed by the courts. City of Angoon 

v. Hodel, 803 F.2d 1016, 1022 (9th Cir. 

1986) and Wisconsin Heritages, Inc. v. 

Harris, 490 F. Supp. 1334, 1338 (E.D. 

Wis. 1980). Because of these court 

rulings, it is very important that those 

interested in this proposed action 

participate by the close of the 45-day 

comment period so that comments and 

objections are made available to the 

Forest Service at a time when they can 

meaningfully consider them and 

respond to them in the final 

environmental impact statement. To 

assist the Forest Service in identifying 

and considering issues and concerns, 

comments on the draft environmental 

impact statement should be as specific 

as possible. Please refer to specific pages 

or chapters of the draft statement. 

Comments may also address the 

adequacy of the draft environmental 

impact statement or the merits of the 

alternatives formulated and discussed in 

the statement. Reviewers may wish to 

refer to the Council on Environmental 

Quality Regulations for implementing 

the procedural provisions of the 

National Environmental Policy Act at 40 

CFR 1503.3 in addressing these points. 

Comments received, including the 

names and addresses of those who 

comment, will be considered part of the 

public record on this proposal and will 

be available for public inspection.

Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail 

Relocation 

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: A minor relocation 

(approximately 2,000 feet) will occur on 

the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail 

(PCNST) in 2009. The trail will be rerouted from its current location within 

the White Pass Ski Area south to the 

Wilderness boundary on the edge of the 

expansion area with the purpose of 

maintaining a quality, uninterrupted 

backcountry experience for PCNST 

users and to minimize their views of ski 

area structures and facilities. All 

activities were analyzed in the White 

Pass Expansion Master Development 

Plan Proposal Final Environmental 

Impact Statement and documented in 

the June 2007 Record of Decision. 

Relocation will begin in July 2009 and 

is expected to be completed by fall 

2009. Trail relocation will be done in 

conjunction with the Pacific Crest Trail 

Association.

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

The Department of Commerce will 

submit to the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) for clearance the 

following proposal for collection of 

information under the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 

chapter 35). 

Agency: U.S. Census Bureau. 

Title: Advance Monthly Retail Trade 

Survey. 

Form Number(s): SM–44(06)A, SM–

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 133 / Tuesday, July 14, 2009 / Notices 33991 

Type of Request: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Burden Hours: 5,000. 

Number of Respondents: 5,000. 

Average Hours per Response: 5 

minutes. 

Needs and Uses: The Advance 

Monthly Retail Trade Survey (MARTS) 

was developed in response to requests 

by government, business, and other 

users to provide an early indication of 

current retail trade activity in the 

United States. The MARTS also 

provides an estimate of monthly sales at 

food service establishments and 

drinking places. 

Policymakers such as the Federal 

Reserve Board need to have the timeliest 

estimates in order to anticipate 

economic trends and act accordingly. 

Sales data from this survey provide the 

earliest possible look at consumer 

spending and are necessary for the 

calculation of the personal consumption 

expenditures component of Gross 

Domestic Product (GDP). Without the 

Advance Monthly Retail Trade Survey, 

the Census Bureau’s earliest measure of 

retail sales is the ‘‘preliminary’’ estimate 

from the full monthly sample released 

about 40 days after the reference month. 

Advance estimates are released 

approximately 12 days after the 

reference month. 

The Council of Economic Advisers, 

Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), 

Federal Reserve Board, and other 

government agencies, as well as 

businesses use sales estimates 

developed from the Advance Monthly 

Retail Trade Survey in formulating 

economic decisions. Data users 

especially value these estimates because 

of their timeliness. There would be 

approximately a one month delay in the 

availability of these data if this survey 

were not conducted. 

We intend to select a new MARTS 

sample to be introduced in Fall 2009. 

We expect the number of respondents to 

increase from 4,500 to 5,000 as a result 

of selecting the new sample. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit. 

Frequency: Monthly. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. 

Legal Authority: Title 13 U.S.C., 

Section 182.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

In response to a request from Nucor 

Corporation, SSAB N.A.D., Evraz NA 

Claymont Steel, Evraz NA Oregon Steel 

Mills, and Arcelor Mittal USA Inc., 

domestic interested parties in the 

above–mentioned proceeding 

(collectively certain domestic 

producers), the Department of 

Commerce (the Department) initiated an 

antidumping circumvention inquiry 

pursuant to section 781(c) of the Tariff 

Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). See 

Certain Cut–to-Length Carbon Steel 

Plate from the People’s Republic of 

China: Initiation of Antidumping 

Circumvention Inquiry, 73 FR 62250 

(October 20, 2008) (Initiation Notice). 

On November 17, 2008, the Department 

issued questionnaires to Tianjin (Tianjin 

Questionnaire) and Toyota Tsusho 

(Toyota Tsusho Questionnaire). 

On December 8, 2008, Toyota Tsusho 

informed the Department that it would 

not submit a response to the 

Department’s questionnaire. On 

December 23, 2008, Tianjin submitted a 

response to the Department’s 

questionnaire (Tianjin Questionnaire 

Response). On December 31, 2008, 

SSAB N.A.D., Evraz NA Claymont Steel, 

and Evraz NA Oregon Steel Mills 

submitted comments on the Tianjin 

Questionnaire Response, and on January 

13, 2009, Nucor Corporation submitted 

comments on the Tianjin Questionnaire 

Response. 

On January 23, 2009, the Department 

requested from U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) documentation 

pertaining to various entries of steel 

plate that had been classified under the 

HTSUS as ‘‘alloy’’ steel plate. Such 

documentation was provided by CBP to 

the Department on March 9, 2009 (see 

the March 12, 2009 memorandum from 

Steve Bezirganian to The File (CBP 

Entry Documents)). 

On February 10, 2009, the Department 

issued a supplemental questionnaire to 

Tianjin (Tianjin Supplemental 

Questionnaire). On March 6, 2009, 

Tianjin submitted a response to the 

Tianjin Supplemental Questionnaire, 

but the Department noted in its letter of 

March 12, 2009, that Tianjin had failed 

to follow certain filing requirements and 

asked Tianjin to re–file its response 

appropriately. Tianjin re–filed its 

response on March 16, 2009 (Tianjin 

Supplemental Questionnaire Response). 

On March 19, 2009, SSAB N.A.D., Evraz 

NA Claymont Steel, and Evraz NA 

Oregon Steel Mills submitted comments 

on the Tianjin Supplemental 

Questionnaire Response. On March 27, 

2009, Nucor Corporation submitted 

comments on the Tianjin Supplemental
