E6-1185 Filed 1-30-06; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4310-GG-P DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Bureau of Reclamation North Sonoma County Agricultural Reuse Project Sonoma County, CA AGENCY: Bureau of Reclamation, Interior. ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS/ Environmental Impact Report (EIR), and notice of public scoping meeting. SUMMARY: Pursuant to Section 102(2)(C) of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969

(NEPA)and Public Resources Code, Section 21000-21178.1 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation), the lead Federal agency, and the Sonoma County Water Agency (Agency), the lead State agency, propose to prepare a joint EIS/EIR for the proposed North Sonoma County Agricultural Reuse Project (Project). The purpose of the proposed Project is to:

(1)Reduce agricultural reliance on natural regional water supplies;

(2)provide an alternative source of water for agricultural irrigation; and

(3)address potential regulatory issues. DATES: A scoping meeting will be held on February 16, 2006 from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. in Healdsburg, California to solicit comments from interested parties to assist in determining the scope of the environmental analysis and to identify the significant issues related to the proposed Project. Written comment forms will be supplied for those who wish to submit written comments at the scoping meeting. ADDRESSES: The public scoping meeting will be held at Alexander Valley Community Hall, 5512 Highway 128, Healdsburg, California. Send written comments on the scope of the project to Mr. David Cuneo, Sonoma County Water Agency, P.O. Box 11628, Santa Rosa, California 95406, no later than March 15, 2006. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. David Cuneo at telephone number:

(707)547-1935 or e-mail address: *david@scwa.ca.gov* . SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Agency, in its continuing efforts to develop a recycled water supply for agricultural water users in the Russian River, Alexander, and Dry Creek valley areas (North Sonoma County area) has identified up to 25,000 acres of agricultural lands that could potentially use recycled water. Based on this estimate, the Agency developed the Project. The Project would include the design and construction of storage reservoirs, conveyance and distribution pipelines, and pump stations. The water for the Project would be tertiary-treated municipal wastewater generated and conveyed primarily through the City of Santa Rosa's

(City)Geysers Pipeline to the project areas. Reclamation is the federal lead agency because the Agency has entered into a cooperative funding agreement with Reclamation to provide matching funds up to $500,000 for the Project. The purpose of the Project is to provide a reliable alternative source of agricultural water to reduce reliance on natural regional water supplies and address regional water supply and regulatory issues. The Project is needed to address current and future regulatory concerns and regional water supply issues. The public would also benefit from this project through the reduction of use of natural regional water supplies, the reduction of wastewater discharges to regional waterways, and from the resulting environmental benefit to fish and wildlife. Two local groups, the Coalition for Sustainable Agriculture

(CSA)and the Dry Creek Agricultural Water Users, Inc. (DCAWU) have expressed significant interest in participating in a recycled water project to develop alternative sources of water for existing agricultural use. The CSA and the DCAWU both recognize that increased instream demands for environmental purposes within the Russian River watershed will compete with agriculture and other uses for available water supplies in the region. The CSA and the DCAWU also recognize that the agricultural use of recycled water may benefit the environment, and consider the Project to be part of a regional water supply solution that balances the needs of municipalities, agricultural interests, and the environment. Presently, agricultural entities divert water directly from the Russian River and its tributaries, from the underflow of the Russian River and its tributaries, and from groundwater wells. Use of recycled water for agricultural purposes on project lands would reduce reliance on the Russian River and its tributaries as well as on local groundwater wells. Additionally, Federal and State regulatory agencies have expressed concern regarding potential impacts to fisheries resources and habitat within the Russian River and its tributaries. Providing agricultural lands with an alternative source of water would allow water to remain in the Russian River and its tributaries, thus providing benefits to listed fish species and their habitat. The recycled water would be used for agricultural purposes consistent with the California Code of Regulations, Title 22 pertaining to the use of tertiary-treated recycled water. Our practice is to make comments, including names and home addresses of respondents, available for public review. Individual respondents may request that we withhold their home addresses from public disclosure, which we will honor to the extent allowable by law. There also may be circumstances in which we would withhold a respondent's identity from public disclosure, as allowable by law. If you wish us to withhold your name and/or address, you must state this prominently at the beginning of your comment. We will make all submissions from organizations or businesses, and from individuals identifying themselves as representatives or officials of organizations or businesses, available for public disclosure in the entirety.

E6-1193 Filed 1-30-06; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4510-30-P DEPARTMENT OF LABOR Employment and Training Administration [TA-W-58,022] Meadow River Hardwood Lumber Company; Formerly Known as Georgia-Pacific Corp.; Rainelle, WV; Notice of Negative Determination Regarding Application for Reconsideration By application of December 8, 2005, Carpenters East Coast Industrial Council (CECIC) requested administrative reconsideration of the Department's negative determination regarding eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA), applicable to workers and former workers of the subject firm. The denial notice was signed on October 24, 2005, and published in the **Federal Register** on November 16, 2005 (70 FR 69599). Pursuant to 29 CFR 90.18(c) reconsideration may be granted under the following circumstances:

(1)If it appears on the basis of facts not previously considered that the determination complained of was erroneous;

(2)If it appears that the determination complained of was based on a mistake in the determination of facts not previously considered; or

(3)If in the opinion of the Certifying Officer, a misinterpretation of facts or of the law justified reconsideration of the decision. The petition for the workers of Meadow River Hardwood Lumber Company, f/k/a Georgia-Pacific Corp., Rainelle, West Virginia engaged in production of hardwood lumber was denied because the “contributed importantly” group eligibility requirement of Section 222 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, was not met, nor was there a shift in production from that firm to a foreign country. The investigation revealed that workers separations at the subject firm was attributed to an employee-strike and not increased imports or a shift in production to a foreign country. The petitioner stated that there was no stoppage of work due to a labor dispute, but rather the company was loosing its sales due to increased imports. The petitioner attached a list of customers and requested a customer survey be conducted in order to reveal the import impact. Upon further review of the previous investigation and further contact with the company official the Department conducted a full investigation to determine whether imports of hardwood lumber indeed impacted production at the subject firm and consequently caused workers separations. The investigation revealed that customers provided by the petitioner were former customers of Georgia-Pacific Corp., but were no longer customers of Meadow River Hardwood Lumber Company. The company official provided a list of major customers of the subject firm. The Department conducted a survey of these customers regarding their purchases of hardwood lumber during the relevant time period. The survey revealed that only one customer is importing hardwood lumber, however this customer did not decrease its purchases of hardwood lumber from the subject firm. Moreover, the subject firm does not import hardwood lumber and did not shift production of hardwood lumber abroad. Conclusion After review of the application and investigative findings, I conclude that there has been no error or misinterpretation of the law or of the facts which would justify reconsideration of the Department of Labor's prior decision. Accordingly, the application is denied. Signed at Washington, DC, this 24th day of January, 2006. Elliott S. Kushner, Certifying Officer, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance. [FR Doc. E6-1103 Filed 1-30-06; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4510-30-P DEPARTMENT OF LABOR Employment and Training Administration [TA-W-58,268] Simpson Door Company, McCleary Washington Division, McCleary, WA; Notice of Revised Determination on Reconsideration By letter postmarked December 16, 2005 United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America, Local Union No. 2761 requested administrative reconsideration regarding the Department's Negative Determination Regarding Eligibility to Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance, applicable to the workers of the subject firm. The initial investigation resulted in a negative determination signed on November 23, 2005 was based on the finding that the subject company did not separate or threaten to separate a significant number or proportion of workers during the relevant time period, as required by section 222 of the Trade Act of 1974. The denial notice was published in the **Federal Register** on December 15, 2005 (70 FR 74368). To support the request for reconsideration, the petitioner supplied additional information regarding employment at the subject facility. Upon further contact with the subject firm's company official, it was revealed that the subject firm separated a significant number of workers during the relevant time period. The investigation also revealed that the subject firm decreased production of wood stile and rail doors while increasing imports of wood stile and rail doors during the relevant time period. In accordance with section 246 the Trade Act of 1974 (26 U.S.C. 2813), as amended, the Department of Labor herein presents the results of its investigation regarding certification of eligibility to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance

(ATAA)for older workers. In order for the Department to issue a certification of eligibility to apply for ATAA, the group eligibility requirements of section 246 of the Trade Act must be met. The Department has determined in this case that the requirements of section 246 have been met. A significant number of workers at the firm are age 50 or over and possess skills that are not easily transferable. Competitive conditions within the industry are adverse. Conclusion After careful review of the additional facts obtained on reconsideration, I conclude that increased imports of articles like or directly competitive with those produced at Simpson Door Company, McCleary Washington Division, McCleary, Washington, contributed importantly to the declines in sales or production and to the total or partial separation of workers at the subject firm. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make the following certification: All workers of Simpson Door Company, McCleary Washington Division, McCleary, Washington who became totally or partially separated from employment on or after November 3, 2004 through two years from the date of this certification, are eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, and are eligible to apply for alternative trade adjustment assistance under section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974.
