DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Bureau of Land Management

[NV–060–1990]

Notice of Intent To Prepare a

Supplemental Environmental Impact

Statement to Analyze the Proposed

Modification to the Pipeline Plan of

Operations for the Pipeline/South

Pipeline Pit Expansion

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management.

COOPERATING AGENCY: Nevada Division

of Wildlife.

ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare a

supplemental environmental impact

statement to analyze the proposed

modification to the Pipeline Plan of

Operations for the Pipeline/South

Pipeline Pit Expansion, Lander County,

Nevada, and notice of scoping period.

SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 102(2)(c)

of the National Environmental Policy

Act of 1969 (NEPA), 40 Code of Federal

Regulations 1500–1508 Council on

Environmental Quality Regulations, and

43 Code of Federal Regulations 3809,

the Bureau of Land Management’s Battle

Mountain Field Office will be directing

the preparation of a Supplemental

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)

to analyze a proposed pit expansion.

The EIS will be prepared by a third

party contractor directed by the BLM.

The project will involve public and

private lands in Lander County, Nevada.

DATES: Written comments on the scope

of the EIS must be post-marked or

otherwise delivered by 4:30 p.m. on

January 17, 2002.

ADDRESSES: Scoping comments should

be sent to the Bureau of Land

Management, Battle Mountain Field

Office, Attention: Pam Jarnecke, 50

Bastian Road, Battle Mountain, Nevada

89820. Comments, including names and

street addresses of respondents, will be

available for public review at the Battle

Mountain Field Office located in Battle

Mountain, Nevada, during regular

business hours, and may be published

as part of the EIS. Individual

respondents may request

confidentiality. If you wish to withhold

your name or street address from public

review or from disclosure under the

Freedom of Information Act, you must

state this prominently at the beginning

of your written comment. Such requests

will be honored to the extent allowed by

law. All submissions from organizations

and businesses, and from individuals

identifying themselves as

representatives or officials of

organizations or businesses, will be

available for public inspection in their

entirety.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Pam

Jarnecke, Battle Mountain BLM, at (775)

635–4144.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

actions associated with the project

would consist of the following:

• Expansion of the South Pipeline pit

southwest into the Gap mineralized

area.

• Expansion of the South Pipeline ore

deposit southeast into the Crossroads

mineralized area.

• Deepening of the Pipeline/South

Pipeline open pit from the currently

approved 4120-foot elevation (above

mean sea level—amsl) to at least 3600-

foot elevation amsl.

• Increasing the approved height of

250 feet for the Pipeline/South Pipeline

waste rock dump to 400 feet.

• Increasing the mining rate from an

average 150,000 tons per day (tpd) to an

average 250,000 tpd, with a maximum

of 400,000 tpd.

• Translocate waste rock as partial fill

in the Pipeline/South Pipeline open pit,

including portions of the expanded pit.

The life of the project under this

modification would increase seven

years over the time line outlined in the

South Pipeline Final EIS (BLM 2000).

No additional surface disturbance is

proposed under this modification, and

the expansion of the Pipeline/South

Pipeline open pit was defined in this

EIS as a Reasonably Foreseeable Action.

INTERNATIONAL TRADE

COMMISSION

[Investigation No. 332–288]

Ethyl Alcohol for Fuel Use:

Determination of the Base Quantity of

Imports

AGENCY: United States International

Trade Commission.

ACTION: Notice of Determination.

SUMMARY: Section 7 of the Steel Trade

Liberalization Program Implementation

Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2703 note),

which concerns local feedstock

requirements for fuel ethyl alcohol

imported by the United States from CBIbeneficiary countries, requires the

Commission to determine annually the

U.S. domestic market for fuel ethyl

alcohol during the 12-month period

ending on the preceding September 30.

The domestic market determination

made by the Commission is to be used

to establish the ‘‘base quantity’’ of

imports that can be imported with a

zero percent local feedstock

requirement. The base quantity to be

used by the U.S. Customs Service in the

administration of the law is the greater

of 60 million gallons or 7 percent of U.S.

consumption as determined by the

Commission. Beyond the base quantity

of imports, progressively higher local

feedstock requirements are placed on

imports of fuel ethyl alcohol and

mixtures from the CBI-beneficiary

countries.

For the 12-month period ending

September 30, 2001, the Commission

has determined the level of U.S.

consumption of fuel ethyl alcohol to be

1.72 billion gallons. Seven percent of

this amount is 120.3 million gallons

(these figures have been rounded).

Therefore, the base quantity for 2002

should be 120.3 million gallons.

Background

For purposes of making

determinations of the U.S. market for

fuel ethyl alcohol as required by section

7 of the Act, the Commission instituted

Investigation No. 332–288, Ethyl

Alcohol for Fuel Use: Determination of

the Base Quantity of Imports, in March

1990. The Commission uses official

statistics of the U.S. Department of

Energy to make these determinations as

well as the PIERS database of the

Journal of Commerce, which is based on

U.S. export declarations.

Section 225 of the Customs and Trade

Act of 1990 (Pub. L. 101–382, August

20, 1990) amended the original language

set forth in the Steel Trade

Liberalization Program Implementation

Act of 1989. The amendment requires

the Commission to make a

determination of the U.S. domestic

market for fuel ethyl alcohol for each

year after 1989.

By order of the Commission.

Issued: December 12, 2001.

Secretary.
