SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The National Park Service Organic
Act, 54 U.S.C. 100101(a) et seq.),
requires that the NPS preserve national
parks for the enjoyment, education, and
inspiration of this and future
generations. Permit requirements and
restrictions for recreational activities in
the backcountry are governed in
accordance with the regulations found
at Title 36, Code of Federal Regulations,
Sections 1.5, 1.6, and 2.10 (36 CFR 1.5,
1.6, 2.10, and 13.116). In order to
monitor resources and wildlife in the
Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve
(GLBA) and to enhance the safety of
future visitors, the park monitors all
sightings and interactions by visitors
with bears. The bear sighting and
encounter reporting forms are an
extension of our statutory authority and
responsibility to protect the park areas
we administer and to manage the public
use thereof. NPS regulations codified in
36 CFR 1–7, 12 and 13, are designated
to implement statutory mandates that
provide for resource protection and
public enjoyment.
Bear sighting data provides the park
with important data used to determine
bear movements, habitat use, and
species distribution. This information
can be used in backcountry management
and planning, field research planning,
and educational outreach for visitors.
Bear-human interaction data is vital to
understand how bears respond to
people, detecting changes in bear
behavior, and identifying potential areas
of high bear-human conflict. Obtaining
immediate information on bear-human
conflicts allows managers to respond
promptly to mitigate further conflicts.
Proactive mitigation includes notifying
other backcountry users, issuing
advisories or recommendations, or
issuing closures to prevent further
conflicts and maintain public safety.
Additionally, managers may respond to
reports of bear-human conflict with bear
management techniques such as hazing
or aversive conditioning. Obtaining
current accurate information on bear
sightings and interactions is essential

for public safety and to effectively
manage bears and people to minimize
conflicts. Summary statistics (without
personal information) may be generated
to examine long-term trends in types
and locations of bear-human
interactions. Observations and
interactions by visitors are recorded via
the two forms: NPS Form 10–405 and
NPS Form 10–406.
The NPS requires the submission of
NPS Form 10–405 upon exiting the park
backcountry in order to collect
information regarding bear sightings
within GLBA. The collection and
timeliness of the data collection is
critical for the NPS’ ability to enhance
the safety of future visitors and to
protect the bear population at the park.
Information collected via NPS Form 10–
405 includes:
• Group name;
• Take-out date;
• Whether visitor encountered dirty
campsites left by previous users or
observe unsafe or inappropriate
behavior by other groups; and
• Detailed information for each
sighting documented on the form, to
include:
Æ Date/time;
Æ Species type
Æ Total number of bears seen together
(for each sighting);
Æ Bear unit type;
Æ Estimation of distance between
visitor and bear(s);
Æ Whether the bear was aware of the
group;
Æ Bear reaction to group;
Æ Activity of group;
Æ Number of observers; and
Æ Location description/campsite
name/GPS position/other comments.
Submission of a completed NPS Form
10–406 is required when a bear enters
camp, approaches the group, damages
gear, obtains food, and/or acts in an
aggressive or threatening manner
towards the group. The collection and
timeliness of data concerning bearhuman contact is critical for the NPS’
ability to enhance the safety of future
visitors and to protect the bear
population at the park. Information
collected via NPS Form 10–406
includes:
• Name and phone number of the
primary person involved in the
interaction;
• Group type: Park visitor, concession
employee, contractor, researcher, NPS
employee, or other;
• Number of people who encountered
the bear;
• Corresponding sighting number on
NPS Form 10–405; Location 1–28
(Backcountry vs. Developed Area A and
B);

Trade Commission.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:

The Commission hereby gives
notice of the scheduling of expedited
reviews pursuant to the Tariff Act of
1930 (‘‘the Act’’) to determine whether
revocation of the antidumping duty
orders on heavy forged hand tools from
China would be likely to lead to
continuation or recurrence of material
injury within a reasonably foreseeable
time.
DATES: Effective Date: October 4, 2016.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Edward Petronzio (202–205–3176),

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

the Commission determined that the
domestic interested party group
response to its notice of institution (81
FR 43235, July 1, 2016) of the subject
five-year reviews was adequate and that
the respondent interested party group
response was inadequate. The
Commission did not find any other
circumstances that would warrant
conducting full reviews.1 Accordingly,
the Commission determined that it
would conduct expedited reviews
pursuant to section 751(c)(3) of the
Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C.
1675(c)(3)).2
1 A record of the Commissioners’ votes, the

individual Commissioner’s statements will be
available from the Office of the Secretary and at the
Commission’s Web site.
2 Vice Chairman David S. Johanson voted to
conduct full reviews.
