standards are technical standards (e.g., 

materials specifications, test methods, 

sampling procedures, and business 

practices) that are developed or adopted 

by voluntary consensus standards 

bodies. The NTTAA directs EPA to 

provide Congress, through OMB, 

explanations when the Agency decides 

not to use available and applicable 

voluntary consensus standards. 

2. Does the National Technology 

Transfer and Advancement Act apply to 

this proposed rule? 

No. This proposed rulemaking does 

not involve technical standards. 

Therefore, EPA did not consider the use 

of any voluntary consensus standards. 

J. Executive Order 12898: Federal 

Actions To Address Environmental 

Justice in Minority Populations and 

Low-Income Populations 

1. What is Executive Order 12898? 

Executive Order (EO) 12898 (59 FR 

7629 (Feb. 16, 1994)) establishes federal 

executive policy on environmental 

justice. Its main provision directs 

federal agencies, to the greatest extent 

practicable and permitted by law, to 

make environmental justice part of their 

mission by identifying and addressing, 

as appropriate, disproportionately high 

and adverse human health or 

environmental effects of their programs, 

policies, and activities on minority 

populations and low-income 

populations in the United States. 

2. Does Executive Order 12898 apply to 

this rule? 

EPA has determined that this 

proposed rule will not have 

disproportionately high and adverse 

human health or environmental effects 

on minority or low-income populations 

because it does not affect the level of 

protection provided to human health or 

the environment. As this rule does not 

impose any enforceable duty upon 

State, tribal, or local governments, this 

rule will neither increase nor decrease 

environmental protection.

amend its regulations (42 CFR 71.53) for 

the importation of live nonhuman 

primates (NHPs). Written comments 

were to be received on or before March 

7, 2011. We have received a request 

asking for a 45 day extension of the 

comment period. In consideration of 

that request, HHS/CDC is extending the 

comment period by 45 days to April 25, 

2011. 

DATES: Written or electronic comments 

must be received on or before April 25, 

2011. Written or electronic comments

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

January 5, 2011 HHS/CDC published a 

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) 

in the Federal Register (76 FR 678) 

proposing to amend its regulations (42 

CFR 71.53) for the imporation of live 

nonhuman primates (NHPs) by 

extending existing requirements for the 

importation of Macaca fascicularis 

(cyanmologus), Chlororcebus aethlops 

(African green) and Macaca mulatta 

(rhesus) monkeys to all NHPs. Filovirus 

testing would continue to be required 

only for Old World NHPs. In the NPRM, 

HHS/CDC also proposed to reduce the 

frequency at which importers of 

cynomolgus, African green, and rhesus 

monkeys are required to renew their 

registrations, from every 180 days to 

every two years. HHS/CDC proposed to 

incorporate existing guidelines into the 

regulations and add new provisions to 

address: (1) NHPs imported as part of a 

trained animal act; (2) NHPs imported 

or transferred by zoological societies; (3) 

The transfer of NHPs from approved 

laboratories; and (4) Non-live imported 

NHP products. Finally, HHS/CDC 

proposed that all NHPs be imported 

only through ports of entry where a CDC 

quarantine station is located. HHS/CDC 

provided a 60 day public comment 

period. Written comments were to be 

received on or before March 7, 2011. We 

have received a request asking for a 45 

day extension of the comment period. In 

consideration of that request, HHS/CDC 

is extending the comment period by 45 

days to April 25, 2011. 

HHS/CDC’s general policy for 

comments and other submissions from 

members of the public is to make these 

submissions available for public 

viewing on the Internet as they are 

received and without change, including

Endangered and Threatened Wildlife 

and Plants; Initiation of Status Review 

for Longfin Smelt 

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Initiation of status review and 

solicitation of new information. 

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service (Service), under the 

authority of the Endangered Species Act 

of 1973, as amended (Act), announce 

the initiation of a status review for the 

longfin smelt (Spirinchus thaleichthys). 

To ensure that the status review is 

comprehensive, we are requesting 

scientific and commercial data and 

other information regarding this species. 

Based on the status review, we will 

issue a 12-month finding, which will 

address whether the listing may be 

warranted, as provided in section 

4(b)(3)(B) of the Act. 

DATES: To allow us adequate time to 

conduct this review, we request that we 

receive information on or before April 

11, 2011. After this date, you must 

submit information directly to the Field 

Office (see FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT section below). Please note that 

we may not be able to fully address or 

incorporate information that we receive 

after the above requested date. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

by one of the following methods: 

• Federal eRulemaking Portal: http:// 

www.regulations.gov. Search for Docket 

No. FWS–R8–ES–2011–0008 and then

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Request for Information 

To ensure the status review is 

complete and based on the best 

available scientific and commercial 

information, we request information on 

the longfin smelt. We request any 

additional information from 

governmental agencies, Native 

American Tribes, the scientific 

community, industry, and any other 

interested parties. We seek information 

on: 

(1) The species’ biology, range, and 

population trends, including: 

(a) Habitat requirements for feeding, 

breeding, and sheltering; 

(b) Genetics and taxonomy; 

(c) Historical and current range, 

including distribution patterns; 

(d) Historical and current population 

levels, and current and projected trends; 

and 

(e) Past and ongoing conservation 

measures for the species or its habitat. 

(2) The factors that are the basis for 

making a listing determination for a 

species under section 4(a) of the 

Endangered Species Act of 1973, as 

amended (Act; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), 

which are: 

(a) The present or threatened 

destruction, modification, or 

curtailment of its habitat or range; 

(b) Overutilization for commercial, 

recreational, scientific, or educational 

purposes; 

(c) Disease or predation; 

(d) The inadequacy of existing 

regulatory mechanisms; or 

(e) Other natural or manmade factors 

affecting its continued existence. 

(3) The potential effects global climate 

change may have on the longfin smelt 

or its habitat. 

If, after the status review, we 

determine that listing the longfin smelt 

is warranted, we will propose critical 

habitat (see definition in section 3(5)(A) 

of the Act), under section 4 of the Act, 

to the maximum extent prudent and 

determinable at the time we propose to 

list the species. Therefore, within the 

geographical range currently occupied 

by the longfin smelt, we also request 

data and information on:
