continue to be periodically conducted to
maintain the natural 5 to 15 year fire
cycle, depending on the forest type and
location. Aerial and manual ignitions
would be used.
* Maintain selected roads needed for
access. Road maintenance includes
smoothing out road surfaces, improving
drainage, and stabilizing stream
crossings.
*Open closed roads where needed for
access and wood removal. Conduct road
maintenance on these roads as needed.
Roads would be closed after they are no
longer needed.
*Eliminate unnecessary roads and
trails (routes) through decommissioning.
This can include physically closing a
route to public use while maintaining
that route for occasional administrative
access by Forest Service personnel or
specified permittees. Various methods
would be used depending on sitespecific conditions and land uses.
Decisions about access are not included
in this project.
*Constructing temporary roads where
needed for access and wood product
removal. After the temporary roads are
no longer needed, they would be
obliterated. No new permanent roads
would be constructed.
*Maintain the road system by
developing new and/or expanding
existing gravel pits.
*Restore stream and riparian
ecosystems to help improve water
quality, fish habitat, riparian and
meadow habitat, and watershed
functions. Treatments include: Tilling
and seeding denuded campsites and
trails to encourage vegetation; installing
structures to control erosion and
stabilize stream banks and stream-road
crossings; planting native riparian
vegetation along stream corridors;
placing logs in streams to improve pool
formation and aquatic habitat
conditions; protecting large meadow
habitat; installing riparian exclosure
fences or barriers to reduce elk and
livestock use along streams; treating
headcuts in arroyos in riparian
meadows; thinning toe slopes and
creating large woody debris; controlling
invasive plants; and replacing,
repairing, or installing water sources to
encourage elk and cattle use in the
uplands.
*Improve and enhance wildlife
habitat by cutting encroaching conifers
to restore upland and riparian grassy
meadow habitat; regenerating aspen
stands by cutting encroaching conifers
and conducting prescribed burns;
maintaining existing water sources and/
or constructing new water sources;
screening wildlife water sources;
creating snags; restoring upland and

floodplain meadows; removing
Kentucky bluegrass and reestablishing
native bunchgrasses; and maintaining
the desired amount of downed logs,
snags, and forest floor down woody
debris.
*Protect cultural resources by
reducing fuel and controlling erosion on
archaeological sites and reducing fuel
on traditional cultural properties and
sacred sites.
All proposed thinning, mowing (of
tree seedlings), and prescribed fire
treatments may be used indefinitely
after the initial treatments to maintain
or further reduce tree densities and fuel
loads.
Possible Alternatives
A full range of alternatives to the
proposed action, including a no-action
alternative, will be considered. The noaction alternative represents no change
and serves as the baseline for the
comparison among the action
alternatives.
Responsible Official
The responsible official is the Forest
Supervisor of the Santa Fe National
Forest.
Decision To Be Made
The Forest Supervisor—the
Responsible Official for this project—
will decide whether or not to implement
the proposed activities on all or portions
of the 110,000-acre analysis area using
one or more of the methods described.
She will also decide which forest plan
amendments to adopt.
Permits or Licenses Required
The discharge of dredged and fill
material resulting from the instream
habitat improvement treatments
requires a Section 404 permit from the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
The discharge of pollutants
(sediment) to waters of the U.S. requires
a Clean Water Act 401 Water Quality
Certification and a Clean Water Act 402
National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NDPES) permit
from the New Mexico Environment
Department.
Consult with and obtain concurrence
from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
on the listed species to address and on
the biological assessment, and continue
consultation with the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service in accordance with
Section 7 of the Endangered Species
Act.
Consult with the New Mexico State
Historic Preservation Officer, tribes, and
consulting parties regarding

determination of effects of the project on

Scoping Process
This notice of intent initiates the
scoping process, which guides the
development of the environmental
impact statement. Ongoing collaborative
efforts regarding restoration in the
Southwest Jemez Mountains will
continue. A variety of public
involvement and collaboration activities
such as open house meetings, field trips,
and interagency workshops will be
scheduled beginning in July 2012.
Public meetings are tentatively
scheduled for July 24, 26, 31 and August
2, 2012. The dates, times, and locations
of the public scoping meetings will be
posted on the forest’s Web site at:
http://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/santafe/
home/?cid=FSBDEV7_021009.
It is important that reviewers provide
their comments by the closing date and
in such a manner that they are useful to
the agency’s preparation of the
environmental impact statement.
Therefore, comments should clearly
articulate the reviewer’s concerns and
contentions.
Comments received in response to
this solicitation, including names and
addresses of those who comment, will
become part of the public record for this
proposed action. Comments submitted
anonymously will be accepted and
considered, however.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
This review covers 184 producers/
exporters. The respondents which the
Department selected for individual
examination are Apex Exports (Apex)
and Falcon Marine Exports Limited
(Falcon). The respondents which were
not selected for individual examination
are listed in the ‘‘Final Results of
Review’’ section of this notice.
On March 6, 2012, the Department
published in the Federal Register the
preliminary results of administrative
review of the antidumping duty order
on shrimp from India.1
Also in March 2012, the Department
verified the sales and cost data reported
by Falcon, in accordance with section
782(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act).
In April 2012, in response to a request
from the Department, Kay Kay Exports
(Kay Kay), a respondent not selected for
individual examination, clarified its
statement of no shipments. For further
discussion, see the ‘‘Determination of
No Shipments’’ section of this notice.
We invited parties to comment on the
Preliminary Results of review. In May
2012, we received case and rebuttal
briefs from the Ad Hoc Shrimp Trade
Action Committee (the petitioner), the
American Shrimp Processors
Association (the processors), and Apex,
Falcon, and Kay Kay (collectively, ‘‘the
respondents’’).
The Department has conducted this
administrative review in accordance
with section 751 of the Act.
Scope of the Order
The scope of this order includes
certain frozen warmwater shrimp and
prawns, whether wild-caught (ocean
harvested) or farm-raised (produced by
aquaculture), head-on or head-off, shellon or peeled, tail-on or tail-off,2
