Detail&d=APHIS-2009-0087). 

Land Management Plan, will be made 

available for review and comment in the 

spring of 2010. The CER was further 

supplemented in December 2009 to 

conform to the Need for Change AMS 

requirements of the 1982 rule 

provisions. The needs for change 

previously identified in the CER have 

been verified by this supplementary 

information; no new needs for change 

were identified. 

Although the 2008 planning rule is no 

longer in effect, information gathered 

prior to the court’s injunction is useful 

for completing the plan revision using 

the provisions of the 1982 planning 

rule. The Cibola National Forest has 

concluded that the following material 

developed during the plan revision 

process to date is appropriate for 

continued use in the revision process: 

• The CER was completed in 

September 2008. It forms the basis for 

need to change the existing Forest Plan 

and the proposed action for the plan 

revision to develop a National 

Grasslands-specific plan. 

• The Kiowa, Rita Blanca, Black 

Kettle and McClellan Creek National 

Grasslands CER Supplementary 

Document to meet AMS Requirements, 

December 2009 (as described above). 

• The Ecological Sustainability 

Report (ESR) that was completed in 

August, 2008 will continue to be used 

as a reference in the planning process as 

appropriate to those items in 

conformance with the 2000 planning 

rule transition language and 1982 

planning rule provisions. This is 

scientific information and is not affected 

by the change of planning rule. This 

information will be updated with any 

new available information. 

• The Socio-economic Sustainability 

Report that was completed in August 

2008 is not affected by the change in 

planning rule and will continue to be 

used as a reference in the planning 

process. This information will be 

updated with any new available 

information. 

• The Kiowa National Grassland 

Potential Wilderness Evaluation Report 

for the Canadian River Potential 

Wilderness Area, completed in October 

2008. 

• USDA FS, Southwestern Region, 

Mid-Scale Vegetation Analysis, June 

2009 (BKMC NG); November 2009 (KRB 

NG); an inventory of current vegetation 

conditions. 

• USDA FS, Southwestern Region, 

Potential Natural Vegetation Types, 

2008. A simulation of vegetation 

inventory pre-European settlement, 

which functions as the reference 

condition for current analysis. 

• USDA Cibola National Forest,

Grasslands, Geographic Area 

Assessments, v. 1, 1999. 

• USDA Cibola National Forest, Black

As necessary or appropriate, the 

above listed material will be further 

adjusted as part of the planning process 

using the provisions of the 1982

[Docket No. APHIS-2009-0087] 

Wildlife Services; Availability of an 

Environmental Assessment and 

Finding of No Significant Impact 

AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health 

Inspection Service, USDA. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: We are advising the public 

that we have prepared an environmental 

assessment and finding of no significant 

impact relative to oral rabies 

vaccination programs in several States. 

The environmental assessment made 

available by this notice analyzes the 

further expansion of the oral rabies 

vaccination program to include the 

States of New Mexico and Arizona, 

which is necessary to effectively combat 

the gray fox variant of the rabies virus. 

The environmental assessment provides 

a basis for our conclusion that the 

expansion of the oral rabies vaccination 

program will not have a significant 

impact on the quality of the human 

environment. Based on its finding of no 

significant impact, the Animal and Plant 

Health Inspection Service has 

determined that an environmental 

impact statement need not be prepared. 

ADDRESSES: To obtain copies of the 

environmental assessment and finding 

of no significant impact, contact Mr. 

Kevin Williams, Operational Support 

Staff, WS, APHIS, 4700 River Road Unit 

87, Riverdale, MD 20737-1234; phone 

(301) 734-4937, fax (301) 734-5157, or 

email: 

(Kevin.E.Williams@aphis.usda.gov). The 

environmental assessment and finding 

or no significant impact are also posted 

on the APHIS Web site at (http:// 

www.aphis.usda.gov/regulations/ws/ 

ws_nepa_environmental 

_documents.shtml). 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dr. 

Dennis Slate, Rabies Program 

Coordinator, Wildlife Services, APHIS,

03301; (603) 223-9623. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Wildlife Services (WS) program in the 

Animal and Plant Health Inspection 

Service (APHIS) cooperates with 

Federal agencies, State and local 

governments, and private individuals to 

research and implement the best 

methods of managing conflicts between 

wildlife and human health and safety, 

agriculture, property, and natural 

resources. Wildlife-borne diseases that 

can affect domestic animals and humans 

are among the types of conflicts that 

APHIS-WS addresses. Wildlife is the 

dominant reservoir of rabies in the 

United States. 

On November 24, 2009, we published 

a notice1 in the Federal Register (74 FR 

61319-61321, Docket No. APHIS-2009- 

0087) in which we made available, for 

review and comment, a proposed 

environmental assessment that analyzed 

the further expansion of the oral rabies 

vaccination program to include the 

States of New Mexico and Arizona, 

which is necessary to effectively combat 

the gray fox variant of the rabies virus. 

In that notice, we stated that the new 

environmental assessment is intended 

to facilitate planning and interagency 

coordination in the event of rabies 

outbreaks, help streamline program 

management, and clearly communicate 

to the public the actions involved in the 

oral rabies vaccination program. 

We solicited comments on the 

proposed environmental assessment for 

30 days ending on December 24, 2009. 

We received 102 comments by that date. 

The comments, which were almost 

entirely supportive of the vaccination 

program, are addressed in an attachment 

to the finding of no significant impact. 

In this document, we are advising the 

public of our finding of no significant 

impact regarding the further expansion 


jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 10 / Friday, January 15, 2010 / Notices 2481 

of the oral rabies vaccination program to 

include the States of New Mexico and 

Arizona. The finding, which is based on 

the environmental assessment, reflects 

our determination that this expansion of 

the oral rabies vaccination program will 

not have a significant impact on the 

quality of the human environment. 

The environmental assessment and 

finding of no significant impact may be 

viewed on the Regulations.gov Web site 

(see footnote 1). Copies are also 

available from the individual listed 

under ADDRESSES and may be viewed in 

our reading room at USDA, room 1141, 

South Building, 14th Street and 

Independence Avenue SW., 

Washington, DC, between 8 a.m. and 

4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, 

except holidays. Persons wishing to 

inspect copies are requested to call 

ahead on (202) 690-2817 to facilitate 

entry into the reading room. In addition, 

copies may be obtained by calling or 

writing to the individual listed under 

ADDRESSES. 

The environmental assessment and 

finding of no significant impact have 

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 provisions 

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).
