SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On

of leasing and subsequent mining of the 

proposed 160-acre coal tract. The lease 

tract is located at the Center Mine and 

contains 2.43 million tons of in-place 

Federal coal resources. Due to adverse 

geologic conditions, BNI intends to 

mine approximately 1.69 million tons of 

coal from the tract. The tract underlies 

private surface and is described as 

follows: 

Fifth Principal Meridian, North Dakota 

T. 141 N., R. 83 W., 

Sec. 18, NE1⁄4. 

The area described contains 160 acres.

written or oral, will receive 

consideration prior to the BLM’s 

decision regarding the leasing of the 

Federal coal contained in the tract. 

Public comments on the EA should 

address the potential environmental 

impacts of the proposed action. Public 

comments on the FMV and MER for the 

proposed lease tract may address, but do 

not have to be limited to, the following:

Federal coal resource; 

2. The mining method or methods to 

be employed to obtain the MER of the 

coal, including the name of the coal 

bed(s) to be mined, timing and rate of 

production, restriction of mining, and 

the inclusion of the tracts in an existing 

mining operation; 

3. The price that the mined coal 

would bring when sold; 

4. Costs, including mining and 

reclamation costs, of producing the coal 

and the anticipated timing of 

production; 

5. The percentage rate at which 

anticipated income streams should be 

discounted, either with inflation, or in 

the absence of inflation, in which case 

the anticipated rate of inflation should 

be given; 

6. Depreciation, depletion, 

amortization, and other tax accounting 

factors; and

INTERNATIONAL TRADE 

COMMISSION 

[Investigation No. 731–TA–669 (Fourth 

Review)] 

Cased Pencils From China 

Determination 

On the basis of the record 1 developed 

in the subject five-year review, the 

United States International Trade 

Commission (‘‘Commission’’) 

determines, pursuant to the Tariff Act of 

1930 (‘‘the Act’’), that revocation of the 

antidumping duty order on cased 

pencils from China would be likely to 

lead to continuation or recurrence of 

material injury to an industry in the 

United States within a reasonably 

foreseeable time. 

Background 

The Commission, pursuant to section 

751(c) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)), 

instituted this review on June 1, 2016 

(81 FR 35059) and determined on 

September 6, 2016 that it would 

conduct a full review (82 FR 12467, 

March 3, 2017). Notice of the scheduling 

of the Commission’s review and of a 

public hearing to be held in connection 

therewith was given by posting copies 

of the notice in the Office of the 

Secretary, U.S. International Trade 

Commission, Washington, DC, and by 

publishing the notice in the Federal 

Register on March 3, 2017 (82 FR 

12467). The hearing was cancelled at 

the request of the domestic interested 

parties. The notice of cancellation of the 

hearing was published in the Federal 

Register on June 6, 2017 (82 FR 26118). 

The Commission made this 

determination pursuant to section 

751(c) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)). It 

completed and filed its determination in 

this review on August 17, 2017. The
