SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On April 29, 2004, the United States 

Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) 

Forest Service and Animal and Plant 

Health Inspection Service (APHIS) 

published a notice in the Federal 

Register (69 FR 23492–23493) 

announcing the agencies’ proposal to 

add the insecticide tebufenozide (trade 

name Mimic) to their list of treatments 

for the control of gypsy moth. In 

addition to the proposal to add 

tebufenozide, the agencies also 

proposed developing a process for 

adding other insecticides that are 

currently unidentified and unregistered 

insecticides, not available at the current 

time, that may become available in the 

future to their list of treatments for 

control of gypsy moth, if the proposed 

insecticides are within the range of 

effects and acceptable risks for the 

existing list of treatments. The notice 

also announced that the agencies would 

prepare a supplemental environmental 

impact statement (SEIS) to the 

November 1995 final environmental 

impact statement (EIS), Gypsy Moth 

Management in the United States: A 

Cooperative Approach (see 60 FR 

61698). 

A notice of availability for the draft 

SEIS was initially published by the 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 

in the Federal Register on September 

19, 2008 (73 FR 54397, Docket No. ER– 

FRL–8585–7), and a notice of 

availability regarding the final SEIS was 

published by EPA in the Federal 

Register on October 19, 2012 (77 FR 

64334, Docket No. ER–FRL–9005–6).
