of Mexican cement provide evidence of

a change in importing strategy by

CEMEX resulting from the acquisition

that would warrant a full review to

consider the issue of revocation. In not

presenting adequate facts to

demonstrate a sufficient change in

circumstances, CEMEX has not met its

burden at the initial stage.12

Finally, CEMEX raises a number of

arguments that address the merits of

whether the order should be revoked

and are ‘‘of little consequence as an

isolated fact in terms of whether the

review is warranted.’’13

In order to obtain a review, a

requester ‘‘must present facts which

when weighed against the other facts

presented, would convince a reasonable

decision-maker that a full investigation

is necessary to establish whether or not

changed circumstances have obviated

the need for the order in its present

form.’’14 CEMEX has made various

allegations but provided virtually no

evidence, and certainly not adequate

facts, to support its claim that the

acquisition of Southdown is a changed

circumstance sufficient to warrant

review of the order. Moreover, the

available Commerce import data

provide clear and convincing contrary

evidence that imports of cement from

Mexico have increased, and their value

has declined, since the acquisition.

Finally, CEMEX has not made it clear

why the Commission should not find

that a shift of production to the U.S.

market would be anything other than

the natural consequence of the

outstanding antidumping duty order.

In light of the above analysis, the

Commission determines that institution

of a review investigation under section

751(b) of the Act concerning the

Commission’s affirmative determination

in investigation No. 731–TA–451

(Final): Gray Portland Cement and

Cement Clinker from Mexico, is not

warranted.

INTERNATIONAL TRADE

COMMISSION

Forum on Issues Relating to Electronic

Filing and Maintenance of Documents

AGENCY: United States International

Trade Commission.

ACTION: Notice to assess public interest

in the agency’s holding a forum.

SUMMARY: The United States

International Trade Commission wishes

to ascertain the extent to which

members of the public would be

interested in attending and making

statements at a forum on issues relating

to electronic filing and maintenance of

documents. If such a forum were to be

held, it would provide members of the

public with the opportunity to provide

input that the Commission can use to

develop effective processes for

electronic document filing and

maintenance. The Commission

anticipates that any such forum, if held,

likely would be held in January 2002.

ADDRESSES: A person wishing to appear

at the forum and make a statement

should file a request to do so directed

to the Secretary to the Commission. A

request to appear should indicate the

following information: (1) The name of

the person desiring to make a statement;

(2) the organization or organizations

represented by that person, if any; (3)

contact information (address, telephone,

and e-mail); and (4) information on the

specific focus or interest of the person

(or his or her organization) and any

questions or issues the person would

like to raise. A request may be sent by

e-mail to ‘‘dockets@usitc.gov,’’ or by

mail or hand delivery to the Secretary,

United States International Trade

Commission, 500 E Street, SW.,

Washington, DC 20436. The deadline for

receipt of requests is Friday, December

28, 2001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Paul

R. Bardos, Esq. (202–205–3102), Office

of the General Counsel, U.S.

International Trade Commission, 500 E

Street SW., Washington, DC 20436.

Hearing-impaired persons can obtain

information on this matter by contacting

the Commission’s TDD terminal on 202–

205–1810. Persons with mobility

impairments who will need special

assistance in gaining access to the

Commission should contact the Office

of the Secretary at 202–205–2000.

General information concerning the

Commission may also be obtained by

accessing its Internet server (at URL

http://www.usitc.gov).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Commission is contemplating holding a

forum on issues relating to electronic

filing and maintenance of documents,

and wishes to ascertain the extent of

public interest in appearing at such a

forum.

In 1996, the Commission established

the Electronic Document Imaging

System (EDIS), which stores and

provides access to docket records in

agency investigations. The Commission

now is contemplating replacing EDIS

with a new document management

system that would provide better

functionality. In particular, the

Commission is seeking as part of the

new system the capability to accept

documents electronically.

The Commission’s Rules of Practice

and Procedure currently provide for the

filing of documents with the agency in

paper form. Consistent with the

Government Paperwork Elimination Act

(GPEA) (Div. C, Title XVII, Public Law

105–277), the Commission is

considering permitting parties and other

persons to file some documents with the

agency electronically. The Commission

contemplates obtaining the capability

to, inter alia: (1) Permit a person to

make a filing by uploading it

electronically to a Commission Web

site; (2) provide security to protect

confidential business and business

proprietary information from

unauthorized disclosure; (3) verify the

identity of the submitter through a

password, electronic signature, or other

security system; (4) acknowledge receipt

of the submission by an electronic

message to establish when filing

occurred; and (5) alert in-house users of

new submissions. A new Commission

document management system might

also permit faster searches for and

retrieval of documents in the

Commission’s docket files than

currently permitted by EDIS.

The Commission held a public forum

on June 20, 2001, to solicit public views

on (1) what features of an electronic

system might be helpful to users, (2)

what technical difficulties might arise in

connection with such a system, and (3)

how the agency might implement such

a system. The agency has taken into

account the views expressed at the

forum, as well as those expressed in

written comments, in its planning for

the new system.

Now that the Commission has done

further work on defining how the

agency may implement such a system,

the agency is considering holding

another forum to solicit further input

from the public on issues relating to

electronic document filing and

maintenance. Before scheduling such a

forum, the Commission wishes to gauge

the level of public interest in attending

such an event.

Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 245 / Thursday, December 20, 2001 / Notices 65743

Any person may attend the forum and

make a statement concerning the issues

listed above. A person wishing to do so

must file a request with the Secretary.

Once all requests have been received,

the Commission will decide on whether

to hold the forum. The Commission will

inform each person whose request to

appear has been granted of the date,

time, location, and agenda of the forum.

By order of the Commission.

Issued: December 17, 2001.

Secretary.

BILLING CODE 2210–55–M

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

Notice of Lodging of Supplement to

the Consent Decree Pursuant to the

Safe Drinking Water Act

In accordance with 28 CFR 50.7,

notice is hereby given that a proposed

Supplement to the Consent Decree in

United States and State of New York, et

al. v. City of New York, et al., Civil

Action No. CV 97–2154 (Gershon J.)

(Gold, M.J.), was lodged with the United

States District Court for the Eastern

District of New York on December 12,

2001. In this action, the United States

and the State of New York sought to

court order requiring the City of New

York to come into compliance with the

Safe Drinking Water Act, 42 U.S.C. 300f,

et seq., and the Surface Water Treatment

Rule, a National Primary Drinking Water

Regulation, by installing filtration

treatment for its Croton water supply

system.

On November 24, 1998, the Court

entered a Consent Decree in this action

which required the City, among other

obligations, to select a site for, design,

and contruct the filtration plant. The

City selected a site for the plant at the

Mosholu Golf Course in Van Cortlandt

Park in the Bronx. However, on

February 8, 2001, the New York State

Court of Appeals held that the City

could not construct the plant at the

Mosholu Golf Course Site without first

obtaining approve from the New York

State Legislature. The City has sought,

but to date has not obtained, legislative

approve to construct the plant at the

Mosholu Golf Course Site, though the

City represents that it is continuing to

seek such approval.

In view of the lack of legislative

approval for the Mosholu Golf Course

Site, the Parties negotiated a

Supplement to the Consent Decree,

which, among other things, requires the

City to select a new site and modifies

the deadlines for construction of the

filtration plant. The City has identified

two alternative sites for construction of

the filtration plant, a site in the Town

of Mount Pleasant in Westchester

Country, denominated the Eastview

Site, and a site adjacent to the Harlem

River in Bronx County, denominated the

Harlem River Site. However, the City

wishes to conduct additional study

regarding these sites prior to selecting a

preferred site for the plant. Accordingly,

the Supplement tot he Consent Decree

provides that the City will conduct

some initial study and design work

relating to the Eastview Site and the

Harlem River Site and will identify its

preferred Site in a draft environmental

impact statement to be submitted on

April 30, 2003. The City is to select one

of these two sites or, if legislative

approval for the Mosholu Golf Course

Site is obtained by April 15, 2003 and

other requirements are met, the City

may instead reselect the Mosholu Golf

Course Site.

The Supplement to the Consent

Decree provides that, if the Eastview

Site is selected, the City is to complete

construction of the plant by March 31,

2010, with full operation to commence

no later than September 30, 2010, and,

if the Harlem River Site is selected, the

City is to complete construction of the

plant by April 30, 2011, with full

operation to commence by October 31,

2011. The Supplement also provides

that, if the United States, State, or the

City determines during the course of

implementation of the Supplement that

the City cannot complete the plant at

the selected site within the schedule set

forth in the Supplement or within a

reasonable time period agreed to by the

parties, the City shall construct the

plant at the alternate site.

The Supplement to the Consent

Decree also provides for a supplemental

Interim Measure. This Interim Measure

requires the City to implement a project

to improve, enhance and/or secure the

Croton Water Supply System and/or the

Croton Watershed. The City is to submit

a proposal to the United States and the

State for such a project by September

30, 2002, and to implement the

approved project between May 31, 2003

and May 31, 2006, at a cost of

$2,000,000.

The Department of Justice will receive

comments relating to the proposed

Supplement to the Consent Decree for a

period of thirty (30) days from the date

of this publication. Comments should be

addressed to the Assistant Attorney

General, Environment and Natural

Resources Division, Department of

Justice, c/o Deborah B. Zwany, Assistant

York, One Pierrepont Plaza, 14th Floor,

Brooklyn, New York 11201, and should
