DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

Service 

[Docket No. APHIS–2011–0011] 

Availability of an Environmental 

Assessment for Field Testing Fowl 

Laryngotracheitis-Marek’s Disease 

Vaccine, Serotype 3, Live Marek’s 

Disease Vector 

AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health 

Inspection Service, USDA. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: We are advising the public 

that the Animal and Plant Health 

Inspection Service has prepared an 

environmental assessment concerning 

authorization to ship for the purpose of 

field testing, and then to field test, an 

unlicensed Fowl LaryngotracheitisMarek’s Disease Vaccine, Serotype 3, 

Live Marek’s Disease Vector. The 

environmental assessment, which is 

based on a risk analysis prepared for the 

field testing of this vaccine, examines 

the potential effects that field testing 

this veterinary vaccine could have on 

the quality of the human environment. 

Based on the risk analysis, we have 

reached a preliminary determination 

that field testing this veterinary vaccine 

will not have a significant impact on the 

quality of the human environment, and 

that an environmental impact statement 

need not be prepared. We intend to 

authorize shipment of this vaccine for 

field testing following the close of the 

comment period for this notice unless 

new substantial issues bearing on the 

effects of this action are brought to our 

attention. We also intend to issue a U.S. 

Veterinary Biological Product license for 

this vaccine, provided the field test data 

support the conclusions of the 

environmental assessment and the 

issuance of a finding of no significant 

impact and the product meets all other 

requirements for licensing. 

DATES: We will consider all comments 

that we receive on or before April 8, 

2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

Virus-Serum-Toxin Act (21 U.S.C. 151 

et seq.), a veterinary biological product 

must be shown to be pure, safe, potent, 

and efficacious before a veterinary 

biological product license may be 

issued. A field test is generally 

necessary to satisfy prelicensing 

requirements for veterinary biological 

products. Prior to conducting a field test 

on an unlicensed product, an applicant 

must obtain approval from the Animal 

and Plant Health Inspection Service 

(APHIS), as well as obtain APHIS’ 

authorization to ship the product for 

field testing. 

To determine whether to authorize 

shipment and grant approval for the 

field testing of the unlicensed product 

referenced in this notice, a risk analysis 

has been prepared to assess the 

potential effects of this product on the 

safety of animals, public health, and the 

environment. Based on the risk analysis, 

APHIS has prepared an environmental 

assessment (EA) concerning the field 

testing of the following unlicensed 

veterinary biological product: 

Requester: Biomune Company. 

Product: Fowl LaryngotracheitisMarek’s Disease Vaccine, Serotype 3, 

Live Marek’s Disease Vector. 

Field Test Locations: Alabama, 

Delaware, Pennsylvania, and Texas. 

The above-mentioned product 

consists of a live recombinant Marek’s 

disease virus vector expressing certain 

fowl laryngotracheitis virus proteins. 

The vaccine is for in ovo vaccination of 

18-day-old chick embryos or for the 

subcutaneous vaccination of healthy 

day-of-age chicks as an aid in the 

prevention of Marek’s Disease and 

infectious laryngotracheitis. 

The EA has been prepared in 

accordance with: (1) The National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 

(NEPA), as amended (42 U.S.C. 4321 et 

seq.), (2) regulations of the Council on 

Environmental Quality for 

implementing the procedural provision 

of NEPA (40 CFR parts 1500–1508), (3) 

USDA regulations implementing NEPA 

(7 CFR part 1b), and (4) APHIS’ NEPA 

Implementing Procedures (7 CFR part 

372). 

Unless substantial issues with adverse 

environmental impacts are raised in 

response to this notice, APHIS intends 

to issue a finding of no significant 

impact (FONSI) based on the EA and 

authorize shipment of the above product 

for the initiation of field tests following 

the close of the comment period for this 

notice. 

Because the issues raised by field 

testing and by issuance of a license are

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 46 / Wednesday, March 9, 2011 / Notices 12933 

identical, APHIS has concluded that the 

EA that is generated for field testing 

would also be applicable to the 

proposed licensing action. Provided that 

the field test data support the 

conclusions of the original EA and the 

issuance of a FONSI, APHIS does not 

intend to issue a separate EA and FONSI 

to support the issuance of the product 

license, and would determine that an 

environmental impact statement need 

not be prepared. APHIS intends to issue 

a veterinary biological product license 

for this vaccine following completion of 

the field test provided no adverse 

impacts on the human environment are 

identified and provided the product 

meets all other requirements for 

licensing. 

Authority: 21 U.S.C. 151–159.
