Animal and Plant Health Inspection 

Service 

Title: Spring Viremia of CarpSusceptible Finfish and their Gametes, 

and Diagnostic Specimens Importation 

Permits. 

OMB Control Number: 0579–0301. 

Summary of Collection: The Animal 

Health Protection Act (AHPA) of 2002 is 

the primary Federal law governing the 

protection of the health of animals 

under the Animal and Plant Health 

Inspection Service (APHIS) of the 

United States Department of Agriculture 

(USDA) regulatory authority. APHIS 

added import restrictions for certain 

species of finfish that are susceptible to 

spring viremia of carp disease (SVC). 

SVC is a disease of certain species of 

finfish, caused by an eponymous 

rhabdovirus. SVC is considered 

extremely contagious, and there are 

currently no U.S. approved vaccines or 

treatments for the virus. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

APHIS has developed import 

requirements for SVC-susceptible fish 

species. This necessitates the use of 

several information collection activities, 

including the completion of VS forms 

17–129, 17–29, 16–3, and 17–136; a 

health certificate and or cleaning and 

disinfection certificate; 72-hour 

notification of arrival, and 

recordkeeping requirements. Without 

the information, APHIS would be 

unable to effectively protect farmed fish 

populations that are known to be 

susceptible to SVC from imports of 

finfish or their gametes infected with 

SVC virus. 

Description of Respondents: 

Individual or households; Federal 

Government. 

Number of Respondents: 462. 

Frequency of Responses: 

Recordkeeping; Reporting: On occasion. 

Total Burden Hours: 2,018.

Forest Service 

Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest, 

Powers Ranger District, Coos County, 

OR; Eden Ridge Timber Sales 

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA. 

ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare an 

environmental impact statement. 

SUMMARY: The USDA, Forest Service, 

will prepare an Environmental Impact 

Statement (EIS) on proposed variable 

density thinning treatments designed to 

control stocking and maintain or 

improve overall forest vigor and 

resiliency within a 6,516-acre planning 

area known as Eden Ridge. Timber 

harvested from stand treatments will 

contribute commercial timber to the 

Forest’s Probable Sale Quantity. The 

planning area is located approximately 

four (4) air miles southeast of the city of 

Powers, Oregon, on the Powers Ranger 

District. The district proposes timber 

harvest and other connected activities 

on approximately 3,650 acres in stands 

regenerated from timber harvested 

around the 1920s and 1930s. Candidate 

stands located on suitable forest land 

within the planning area are proposed 

for treatment that are designated as 

Matrix, with some minor amounts of 

Riparian Reserve under the Land and 

Resource Management Plan as amended 

by the Northwest Forest Plan. 

Approximately seventy-two (72) 

treatment units would be designed for
