Federal Register / Vol. 70, No.
29 / Monday, February 14, 2005 / Notices
Information on the proposed action will
also be posted on the forest Web site,
http://www.fs.fed.us/r5.shastatrinity/
projects, and advertised in the Mt.
Shasta Herald. A field trip will be held
for interested parties in May of 2005.
This notice of intent intimates the
scoping process, which guides the
development of the environmental
impact statement. Comments submitted
during this scoping process should be in
writing and should be specific to the
proposed action. The comments should
describe as clearly and completely as
possible any issue the commenter has
with the proposal. The scoping process
includes:
(a) Identifying potential issues.
(b) Identifying issues to be analyzed
in depth.
(c) Eliminating non-significant issues
or those previously covered by a
relevant previous environmental
analysis.
(d) Exploring additional alternatives.
(e) Identifying potential
environmental effects of the proposed
action and alternatives.
Early Notice of Importance of Public
Participation in Subsequent
Environmental Review: A draft
environmental impact statement will be
prepared for comment. The comment
period on the draft environmental
impact statement will be 45 days from
the date the Environmental Protection
Agency publishes the notice of
availability in the Federal Register. The
Forest Service believes it is important to
give reviewers notice of several court
rulings related to public participation in
the environmental review process. First,
reviewers of draft environmental impact
statements must structure their
participation in the environmental
review of the proposal so that it is
meaningful and alerts an agency to the
reviewer’s position and contentions.
(Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Corp.
v. NRDC, 435 U.S. 519, 553 (1978)).
Also, environmental objections that
could be raised at the draft
environmental impact statement stage
but that are not raised until after
completion of the final environmental
impact statement may be dismissed by
the courts. (City of Angoon v. Hodel, 803
F.2d 1016, 1022 (9th Cir. 1986) and
Wisconsin Heritages, Inc. v. Harris, 490
F. Supp. 1334, 1338 (E.D. Wis. 1980).
Because of these court rulings, it is very
important that those interested in this
proposed action participate by the close
of the 45 day comment period thus
ensuring substantive comments and
objections are available to the Forest
Service at a time when it can
meaningfully consider them and
VerDate jul<14>2003 15:28 Feb 11, 2005 Jkt 205001
7469
respond to them in the final
environmental impact statement.
To assist the Forest Service in
identifying and considering issues and
concerns on the proposed action,
comments on the draft environmental
impact statement should be as specific
as possible. It is also helpful if
comments refer to specific pages or
chapters of the draft statement.
Comments may also address the
adequacy of the draft environmental
impact statement or the merits of the
alternatives formulated and discussed in
the statement. Reviewers may wish to
refer to the Council on Environmental
Quality Regulations for implementing
the procedural provisions of the
National Environmental Policy Act at 40
CFR 1503.3 in addressing these points.
Comments received, including the
names and addresses of those who
comment, will be considered part of the
public record on this proposal and will
be available for public inspection.

Background
On August 30, 2004, the Department
of Commerce (‘‘the Department’’)
published a notice of initiation of
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on furfuryl
alcohol from Thailand covering the
period July 1, 2003 through June 30,
2004. See Notice of Initiation of
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews, 69 FR 52857
(August 30, 2004). The preliminary
results for this review are currently due
no later than April 4, 2005.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary
Results
Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’),
requires the Department to issue the
preliminary results of an administrative
review within 245 days after the last day
of the anniversary month of an order for
which a review is requested and a final
determination within 120 days after the
date on which the preliminary results
are published. However, if it is not
practicable to complete the review
within the time period, section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act allows the
Department to extend these deadlines to
a maximum of 365 days and 180 days,
respectively.
We are currently analyzing
complicated sales and cost information
that has required numerous
supplemental questionnaire responses.
In particular, our analysis of input costs,
general and administrative expenses,
and interest expenses requires
additional time and makes it
impracticable to complete the
preliminary results of this review within
the originally anticipated time limit
(i.e., April 4, 2005). Therefore, the
Department is extending the time limit
for completion of the preliminary
results to no later than May 4, 2005, in
accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of
the Act.
We are issuing and publishing this
notice in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: February 8, 2005.

AGENCY: Import Administration,

Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On August 9, 2004, the U.S.
Department of Commerce (the
Department) published the preliminary
results of the administrative review of
the antidumping order covering certain
in-shell raw pistachios from Iran. See
Preliminary Results of Antidumping

Results). The product covered by this
order is certain in-shell raw pistachios
(pistachios) from Iran as described in
the ‘‘Scope of the Review’’ section of the
Federal Register notice. The period of
review (POR) is July 1, 2002, through
June 30, 2003. We invited parties to
comment on our Preliminary Results.
Based on our analysis of the comments
received, we have made changes to the
margin calculation. Therefore, the final
results differ from the Preliminary
Results. The final weighted-average
dumping margin for the reviewed firm
and the producer of the merchandise is
listed below in the section entitled
‘‘Final Results of Review.’’
EFFECTIVE DATE: February 14, 2005.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
This review covers sales of pistachios
to the United States made by Tehran
Negah Nima Trading Company, Inc.,
trading as Nima Trading Company
(Nima).
In response to our request for written
comments and any additional
documentary evidence regarding
whether or not, Nima’s supplier of
pistachios, Razi Domghan Agricultural
and Animal Husbandry Company (Razi)
did or did not have knowledge that the
goods in question were destined for the
United States at the time of the sale, on
August 23, 2004, we received comments
from only one party, Nima. On
September 3, 2004, in a memorandum to
the file, the Department discussed
several inadvertent calculation errors in
its preliminary margin calculation that
it intended to correct for purposes of
these final results. See Memorandum to
the File through Richard O. Weible,
Director, Intended Correction to the
Preliminary Margin Calculation, dated
September 3, 2004 (Prelim Correction
Memo).
On September 8, 2004, the California
Pistachio Commission (CPC or
petitioner) and Cal Pure Pistachios, Inc.
(Cal Pure), an interested party to the
instant proceeding, requested a public
hearing. On September 16, 2004, in
response to our Preliminary Results, we
received case briefs from Nima, CPC,
and Cal Pure. All parties submitted
rebuttal briefs on September 22, 2004.
We held a public hearing on October 1,
2004. See Hearing Transcript, Pistachios
from Iran, dated October 1, 2004.

On November 26, 2004, the
Department extended fully the time
limit, from December 7, 2004, until no
later than February 7, 2005, for the final
results of the instant administrative
review. See Certain In-Shell Raw
Pistachios from Iran: Extension of Time
Limit for Final Results of Antidumping
Duty Administrative Review, 69 FR
70123 (December 2, 2004).
Scope of the Review
The product covered by the
antidumping duty order is raw, in-shell
pistachio nuts from which the hulls
have been removed, leaving the inner
hard shells, and edible meats from Iran.
This merchandise is currently provided
for in subheading 0802.50.20.00 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS). Although the
HTSUS subheading is provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
Department’s written description of the
merchandise under order is dispositive.
Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in case and rebuttal
briefs submitted by parties to this
administrative review are addressed in
the ‘‘Issues and Decision Memorandum’’
(Decision Memo) from Barbara E.
Tillman, Acting Deputy Assistant
Secretary for Import Administration to
Joseph A. Spetrini, Acting Assistant
Secretary for Import Administration,
dated February 7, 2005, which is hereby
adopted by this notice. A list of the
issues which parties have raised and to
which we have responded, all of which
are in the Decision Memo, is attached to
this notice as an appendix. Parties can
find a complete discussion of all issues
raised in this review and the
corresponding recommendations in this
public memorandum which is on file in
room B–099 of the main Department
building. In addition, a complete
version of the Decision Memo can be
accessed directly on the Internet at
http://www.ia.ita.doc.gov. The paper
copy and electronic version of the
Decision Memo are identical in content.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our analysis of comments
received, we have made changes to
Nima’s margin calculation. The changes
are listed below:
1. We applied a profit rate to the
producer’s, Razi’s, cost of production
based on Razi’s actual profit rate for
home market sales during the POR. For
purposes of calculating a profit margin
for Nima, we used the profit rate from
an Iranian pistachio trader, i.e., Fallah,
which resold pistachios in Iran during
a prior proceeding (i.e., Nima’s new
shipper review). See Memorandum from
