reasons which have led to the
imposition of the final measures.
7. Articles 3.1 and 4.1 of the AD
Agreement and Articles 15.1 and 16.1 of
the SCM Agreement because China
made a determination of injury using an
improper definition of the domestic
industry and as a result failed to base its
determination on positive evidence and
conduct an objective examination of the
facts with respect to the domestic
industry producing the subject imports.
8. Articles 3.1 and 3.2 of the AD
Agreement and Articles 15.1 and 15.2 of
the SCM Agreement because China’s
analysis of the effects of imports under
investigation on the price of the like
product was not based upon an
objective examination of the record and
positive evidence.
9. Articles 3.1, 3.4, and 3.5 of the AD
Agreement and Articles 15.1, 15.4, and
15.5 of the SCM Agreement because: (a)
China’s analysis of the alleged causal
link was not based upon an objective
examination of the record and positive
evidence, including an examination of
all relevant economic factors and
indices having a bearing on the state of
the industry, an examination of all
relevant evidence before the authorities,
or an examination of any known factors
other than allegedly dumped and
subsidized imports which at the same
time were injuring the domestic
industry, and (b) China failed to meet
the requirement that injuries caused by
other factors must not be attributed to
the allegedly dumped and subsidized
imports.
10. Article 6.2 of the AD Agreement
because China failed to grant interested
parties a full opportunity for the defense
of their interests.
11. Article 1 of the AD Agreement as
a consequence of the breaches of the AD
Agreement described above.
12. Article 10 of the SCM Agreement
as a consequence of the breaches of the
SCM Agreement described above.
13. Article VI of the GATT 1994 as a
consequence of the breaches of the AD
and SCM Agreements described above.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 2105–0538.
Title: Disclosure of Code Sharing
Arrangements and Long-Term Wet
Leases.
Type of Review: Renewal of an
information collection.
Abstract: Change-of-gauge service is
scheduled passenger air transportation
for which the operating carrier uses one
single flight number even though
passengers do not travel in the same
aircraft from origin to destination but
must change planes at an intermediate
stop. In addition to one-flight-to-oneflight change-of-gauge services, changeof-gauge services can also involve
aircraft changes between multiple
flights on one side of the change point
and one single flight on the other side.
As with one-for-one change-of-gauge
services, the carrier assigns a single
flight number for the passenger’s entire
itinerary even though the passenger
changes planes, but in addition, the
single flight to or from the exchange
point itself has multiple numbers, one
for each segment with which it connects
and one for the local market in which
it operates.
The Department recognizes various
public benefits that can flow from
change-of-gauge services, such as a
lowered likelihood of missed
connections. However, although changeof-gauge flights can offer valuable
consumer benefits, they can be
confusing and misleading unless
consumers are given reasonable and
timely notice that they will be required
to change planes during their journey.
Section 41712 of Title 49 of the U.S.
code authorizes the Department to
decide if a U.S. air carrier or foreign air
carrier or ticket agent (including travel
agents) has engaged in unfair or
deceptive practices. Under this
authority, the Department has adopted

VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 226001

various regulations and policies to
prevent unfair or deceptive practices or
unfair methods of competition. The
Department requires as a matter of
policy that customers be given notice of
aircraft changes for change-of-gauge
flights. (See Department Order 89–1–31,
page 5.) The Department proposed to
adopt the extant regulations, however,
because it was not convinced that these
rules and policies resulted in effective
disclosure all of the time.
Respondents: All U.S. air carriers,
foreign air carriers, computer
reservations systems (CRSs), and travel
agents doing business in the United
States, and the traveling public.
Number of Respondents: 16,000,
excluding travelers.
Frequency: At 15 seconds per call and
an average of 1.5 calls per trip, a total
of 22.5 seconds per respondent or
traveler, for the approximately 33% of
estimated change-of-gauge itineraries
that involve personal contact.
Total Annual Burden: Annual
reporting burden for this data collection
is estimated at 76,313 hours for all
travel agents and airline ticket agents,
based on 15 seconds per phone call and
an average of 1.5 phone calls per trip,
for the approximately 33% of estimated
change-of-gauge itineraries that involve
personal contact. Most of this data
collection (third party notification) is
accomplished through highly automated
computerized systems.
Public Comments Invited: You are
asked to comment on any aspect of this
information collection, including (a)
whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the
Department’s performance; (b) the
accuracy of the estimated burden; (c)
ways for the Department to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information collection; and (d) ways
that the burden could be minimized
without reducing the quality of the
collected information.
Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995; 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended;
and 49 CFR 1:48.
Issued in Washington, DC, on July 31,
2012.

Environmental Impact Statement: Dane
County, WI
Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of Intent to Prepare an
Environmental Impact Statement.
AGENCY:

The purpose of this NOI is to
update the notice issued in the Federal
Register, Vol. 71, No. 112, Monday, June
12, 2006, Notices. The FHWA and
WisDOT are updating this notice to
advise the public that an Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS) is continuing to
be prepared for proposed transportation
improvements on the United States
Highway (US) 51 corridor in the
Madison Urban Area, Dane County,
Wisconsin. The general location is
between U.S. 12/18 (Madison South
Beltline Highway) and Wisconsin State
Highway (WIS) 19. The EIS is being
prepared in conformance with 40 CFR
1500 and FHWA regulations. The NOI is
being updated to reflect the current
status of the environmental study,
changes in contact information, and
significant coordination efforts etc that
have been completed since the revised
NOI was issued in June 2006.
The project was placed on ‘‘Hold’’ by
the WisDOT in the Summer of 2010
because it was determined the type and
cost of the improvements being
considered met the revised definition of
a WisDOT ‘‘Major Project’’ requiring
approval by the Wisconsin Legislature’s
Transportation Projects Commission
(TPC). In November 2011, the TPC
approved the EIS study for the project
as part of WisDOT’s Majors Program,
and efforts to continue with the EIS
study were initiated in April 2012. The
Project limits, Purpose & Need, and
Range of Alternatives being evaluated
have not changed
