2008, provided a 30-day comment period ending on August 4, 2008 (73 FR 
38198). Southwestern is re-opening the comment period until September 
18, 2008.

DATES: The public comment period closes on September 18, 2008. Written

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Southwestern's draft determination was 
published by Federal Register Notice (73 FR 6717) dated February 5, 
2008. Written comments were invited through March 6, 2008. All public 
comments received were considered, and Southwestern's draft 
determination was revised as necessary to incorporate the public 
comments. Since there were significant changes to Southwestern's draft
