SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: McEwen 

Mining Inc. (MMI) proposes to develop 

a gold mine in the southwest portion of 

the Roberts Mountains approximately 

30 miles northwest of Eureka, Nevada. 

The mine plan boundary encompasses 

5,362 acres of public lands and 199 

acres of private lands located in Eureka 

County, Nevada. The proposed Project 

would include four open pits; waste 

rock dump areas (WRDAs); crushing, 

screening, and agglomeration facilities; 

heap leach pads (HLP), an associated 

process solution pond, and an event 

pond; an adsorption, desorption, and 

recovery (ADR) plant including barren 

and pregnant solution tanks; ancillary 

and other facilities including an 

explosive storage area, ammonium 

nitrate prill silos, liquid natural gas 

(LNG) Cryostorage or compressed 

natural gas (CNG) generators with a 

switch station, a truck shop and wash 

bay, a ready line, landfill, laydown 

areas, water and power infrastructure, 

buildings, yards, parking, storage, 

growth media stockpiles, production 

water wells (GBPW–210 and GBPW– 

211) and an associated water supply 

pipeline, groundwater monitoring wells 

(GBMW–01, GBMW–03, and GBMW– 

04), communication facilities, potable 

water and fire water facilities, septic 

systems, and fencing; and mine access 

roads (Three Bars Road, Atlas Haul 

Road, North Roberts Creek Road, Bypass 

Road [NVN–91566], and Roberts Creek 

Road). The Project would disturb 1,154 

acres, including re-disturbing 420 acres 

of existing, non-reclaimed disturbance 

from a previous abandoned mining 

operation; 718 acres of new disturbance; 

and 16 acres of new disturbance as a 

result of exploration. Of the 1,154 acres, 

185 acres would be on private land, and 

969 acres would be on public land. 

The proposed pit depths would not 

intercept groundwater. No pit 

dewatering would be necessary and no 

pit lakes are anticipated to form after 

mining operations end. The Final EIS, 

through scoping and a 45-day public 

comment period, has identified and 

analyzed impacts to the following 

resources areas: Water resources, air 

quality, vegetation resources, wildlife, 

grazing management, land use and 

access, aesthetics (noise and visual), 

cultural resources, paleontological 

resources, geological resources 

(including minerals and soils), 

recreation, social and economic values, 

hazardous materials, Native American 

cultural concerns, and wild horses. The 

proposed project area does not have any 

lands with wilderness characteristics 

(LWCs). The Pony Express National 

Historic Trail crosses existing Three 

Bars and North Roberts Creek Roads; 

however, public and recreational access 

to the National Historic Trail would not 

be affected by mining activities. 

The FEIS describes and analyzes the 

proposed Project’s direct, indirect, and 

cumulative impacts on all affected 

resources. In addition to the proposed 

Project, four alternatives were analyzed 

including the 25kV Overhead 

Distribution Line Alternative, the Three 

Bars Road/Atlas Haul Road as Only 

Access Alternative, the Mount Hope and 

North Roberts Creek Road for Light 

Vehicle Traffic Alternative, and the No 

Action Alternative. The Draft EIS was 

released for a 45-day public comment 

period, which ended April 17, 2017. A 

public meeting was held in Eureka, 

Nevada on March 22, 2017. A total of 

2,178 comment letters were received 

from the general public, agencies, 

special interest groups, businesses and 

organizations. The FEIS responds to all 

comments received. These public 

comments resulted in the addition of 

clarifying text, but did not significantly 

change the analysis. Based on the 

analysis in the FEIS, the BLM has 

determined that the preferred 

alternative is the approval of the Project, 

with accompanying mitigation measures 

and voluntary applicant-committed

CFR 207.2(f)). 

environmental protection measures. The 

BLM has used and coordinated the 

NEPA scoping and comment process to 

help fulfill the public involvement 

process under the National Historic 

Preservation Act (NHPA) (54 U.S.C. 

306108) as provided in 36 CFR 

800.2(d)(3)—and continues to do so. 

The information about historic and 

cultural resources within the area 

potentially affected by the proposed 

Project has assisted the BLM in 

identifying and evaluating impacts to 

such resources in the context of both 

NEPA and Title 54 of the NHPA. 

The BLM has consulted and continues 

to consult with Indian tribes on a 

government-to-government basis in 

accordance with Executive Order 13175 

and other policies. Tribal concerns, 

including potential impacts to areas of 

critical cultural and spiritual 

significance and potential impacts to 

cultural resources have been analyzed 

in the Final EIS. 

Following a 30-day Final EIS 

availability and review period, a Record 

of Decision (ROD) will be issued. The 

decision reached in the ROD is subject 

to appeal to the Interior Board of Land 

Appeals. The 30-day appeal period 

begins with the issuance of the ROD. 

Authority: 40 CFR 1501.7.

[Investigation Nos. 701–TA–585–586 and

Stainless Steel Flanges From China 

and India 

Determinations 

On the basis of the record 1 developed 

in the subject investigations, the United 

States International Trade Commission 

(‘‘Commission’’) determines, pursuant 

to the Tariff Act of 1930 (‘‘the Act’’), 

that there is a reasonable indication that 

an industry in the United States is 

materially injured by reason of imports 

of stainless steel flanges from China and 

India, provided for in subheadings 

7307.21.10 and 7307.21.50 of the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States, that are alleged to be sold 

in the United States at less than fair 

value (‘‘LTFV’’) and to be subsidized by 

the governments of China and India. 

Commencement of Final Phase 

Investigations 

Pursuant to section 207.18 of the 

Commission’s rules, the Commission 

also gives notice of the commencement 

of the final phase of its investigations. 

The Commission will issue a final phase 

notice of scheduling, which will be 

published in the Federal Register as 

provided in section 207.21 of the 

Commission’s rules, upon notice from 

the Department of Commerce 

(‘‘Commerce’’) of affirmative 

preliminary determinations in the 

investigations under sections 703(b) or 

733(b) of the Act, or, if the preliminary 

determinations are negative, upon 

notice of affirmative final 

determinations in those investigations 

under sections 705(a) or 735(a) of the 

Act. Parties that filed entries of 

appearance in the preliminary phase of 

the investigations need not enter a 

separate appearance for the final phase 

of the investigations. Industrial users, 

and, if the merchandise under 

investigation is sold at the retail level, 

representative consumer organizations 

have the right to appear as parties in 

Commission antidumping and 

countervailing duty investigations. The 

Secretary will prepare a public service 

list containing the names and addresses 

of all persons, or their representatives, 

who are parties to the investigations.
