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.

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.

Maass Flange Corporation, Houston, 

Texas filed petitions with the 

Commission and Commerce, alleging 

that an industry in the United States is 

materially injured or threatened with 

material injury by reason of LTFV and

flanges from China and India. 

Accordingly, effective August 16, 2017, 

the Commission, pursuant to sections 

703(a) and 733(a) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 

1671b(a) and 1673b(a)), instituted

Notice of the institution of the 

Commission’s investigations and of a 

public conference 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 of August 22, 2017 (82 

FR 39914). The conference was held in 

Washington, DC, on September 6, 2017, 

and all persons who requested the 

opportunity were permitted to appear in 

person or by counsel. 

The Commission made these 

determinations pursuant to sections 

703(a) and 733(a) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 

1671b(a) and 1673b(a)). It completed 

and filed its determinations in these

1974 (19 U.S.C. 2271, et seq.) (‘‘Act’’), as 

amended, the Department of Labor 

herein presents summaries of 

determinations regarding eligibility to 

apply for trade adjustment assistance 

under Chapter 2 of the Act (‘‘TAA’’) for 

workers by (TA–W) number issued 

during the period of August 19, 2017 

through September 22, 2017. (This 

Notice primarily follows the language of 

the Trade Act. In some places however, 

changes such as the inclusion of 

subheadings, a reorganization of 

language, or ‘‘and,’’ ‘‘or,’’ or other words 

are added for clarification.) 

Section 222(a)—Workers of a Primary 

Firm 

In order for an affirmative 

determination to be made for workers of 

a primary firm and a certification issued 

regarding eligibility to apply for TAA, 

the group eligibility requirements under 

Section 222(a) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 

2272(a)) must be met, as follows: 

(1) The first criterion (set forth in 

Section 222(a)(1) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. 

2272(a)(1)) is that a significant number 

or proportion of the workers in such 

workers’ firm (or ‘‘such firm’’) have 

become totally or partially separated, or 

are threatened to become totally or 

partially separated; 

AND (2(A) or 2(B) below) 

(2) The second criterion (set forth in 

Section 222(a)(2) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. 

2272(a)(2)) may be satisfied by either (A) 

the Increased Imports Path, or (B) the 

Shift in Production or Services to a 

Foreign Country Path/Acquisition of 

Articles or Services from a Foreign 

Country Path, as follows: 

(A) Increased Imports Path: 

(i) The sales or production, or both, of 

such firm, have decreased absolutely; 

AND (ii and iii below) 

(ii) (I) imports of articles or services 

like or directly competitive with articles 

produced or services supplied by such 

firm have increased OR 

(II) (aa) imports of articles like or 

directly competitive with articles into 

which one or more component parts 

produced by such firm are directly 

incorporated, have increased; OR 

(II) (bb) imports of articles like or 

directly competitive with articles which 

are produced directly using the services 

supplied by such firm, have increased; 

OR 

(III) imports of articles directly 

incorporating one or more component 

parts produced outside the United 

States that are like or directly 

competitive with imports of articles 

incorporating one or more component 

parts produced by such firm have 

increased; 

AND 

(iii) the increase in imports described 

in clause (ii) contributed importantly to 

such workers’ separation or threat of 

separation and to the decline in the 

sales or production of such firm; OR 

(B) Shift in Production or Services to 

a Foreign Country Path OR Acquisition 

of Articles or Services from a Foreign 

Country Path: 

(i)(I) There has been a shift by such 

workers’ firm to a foreign country in the 

production of articles or the supply of 

services like or directly competitive 

with articles which are produced or 

services which are supplied by such 

firm; OR 

(II) such workers’ firm has acquired 

from a foreign country articles or 

services that are like or directly 

competitive with articles which are 

produced or services which are 

supplied by such firm; 

AND 

(ii) the shift described in clause (i)(I) 

or the acquisition of articles or services 

described in clause (i)(II) contributed 

importantly to such workers’ separation 

or threat of separation. 

Section 222(b)—Adversely Affected 

Secondary Workers 

In order for an affirmative 

determination to be made for adversely 

affected secondary workers of a firm and 

a certification issued regarding 

eligibility to apply for TAA, the group 

eligibility requirements of Section 

222(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 2272(b)) 

must be met, as follows: 

(1) A significant number or proportion 

of the workers in the workers’ firm or 

an appropriate subdivision of the firm 

have become totally or partially 

separated, or are threatened to become 

totally or partially separated; 

AND 

(2) the workers’ firm is a supplier or 

downstream producer to a firm that 

employed a group of workers who 

received a certification of eligibility 

under Section 222(a) of the Act (19 

U.S.C. 2272(a)), and such supply or 

production is related to the article or 

service that was the basis for such 

certification (as defined in subsection 

222(c)(3) and (4) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 

2272(c)(3) and (4)); 

AND 

(3) either— 

(A) the workers’ firm is a supplier and 

the component parts it supplied to the 

firm described in paragraph (2) 

accounted for at least 20 percent of the 

production or sales of the workers’ firm; 

OR 

(B) a loss of business by the workers’ 

firm with the firm described in 

paragraph (2) contributed importantly to 

the workers’ separation or threat of
