SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: 

Virus-Serum-Toxin Act and 

Regulations. 

OMB Number: 0579–0318. 

Type of Request: Extension of 

approval of an information collection. 

Abstract: Under the Virus-SerumToxin Act (21 U.S.C. 151 et seq.), the 

Animal and Plant Health Inspection 

Service (APHIS) of the U.S. Department 

of Agriculture has authority to 

administer the regulations in 9 CFR, 

chapter I, subchapter E, to ensure that 

veterinary biological products are pure, 

safe, potent, and effective. Veterinary 

biological products are defined as all 

viruses, serums, toxins (excluding 

substances that are selectively toxic to 

microorganisms, e.g., antibiotics, or 

analogous products at any stage of 

production, shipment, distribution, or 

sale, which are intended for use in the 

treatment of animals and which act 

primarily through the direct 

stimulation, supplementation, 

enhancement, or modulation of the 

immune system or immune response. 

The term ‘‘biological products’’ 

includes, but is not limited to, vaccines, 

bacterins, allergens, antibodies, 

antitoxins, toxoids, immunostimulants, 

certain cytokines, antigenic or 

immunizing components of live 

organisms, and diagnostic components 

that are of natural or synthetic origin or 

that are derived from synthesizing or 

altering various substances or 

components of substances, such as 

microorganisms, genes or genetic 

sequences, carbohydrates, proteins, 

antigens, allergens, or antibodies. 

In accordance with the regulations in 

9 CFR 105.3 and 115.2, APHIS may 

notify a veterinary biologics licensee or 

permittee to stop the preparation, 

importation, and/or distribution and 

sale of a serial or a subserial of a 

veterinary biologic if, at any time, it 

appears that such product may be 

worthless, contaminated, dangerous, or 

harmful in the treatment of animals. 

This notification triggers two 

information collection activities: (1) 

After being contacted by APHIS, 

veterinary biologics licensees or 

permittees must immediately, but no 

later than 2 days, send stop distribution 

and sale notifications to any 

wholesalers, jobbers, dealers, foreign 

consignees, or other persons known to 

have such veterinary biologic in their 

possession, and (2) veterinary biologics 

licensees and permittees must account 

for the remaining quantity of each serial 

or subserial of any such veterinary 

biologic at each location in the 

distribution channel known to the 

licensee or permittee. 

We are asking the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) to 

approve our use of these information 

collection activities for an additional 3 

years. 

The purpose of this notice is to solicit 

comments from the public (as well as 

affected agencies) concerning these 

information collection activities. These 

comments will help us: 

(1) Evaluate whether the collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(2) Evaluate the accuracy of our 

estimate of the burden of the 

information collection, including the 

validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used; 

(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

(4) Minimize the burden of the 

information collection on those who are 

to respond, through use, as appropriate, 

of automated, electronic, mechanical, 

and other collection technologies; e.g., 

permitting electronic submission of 

responses. 

Estimate of burden: The public 

reporting burden for this collection of 

information is estimated to average 

1.7666 hours per response. 

Respondents: U.S. establishments that 

produce and/or import veterinary 

biological products, and their 

wholesalers, dealers, jobbers, foreign 

consignees, or other persons known to 

have any such worthless, contaminated, 

dangerous, or harmful veterinary 

biological product in their possession. 

Estimated annual number of 

respondents: 55. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses per respondent: 1.09. 

Estimated annual number of 

responses: 60. 

Estimated total annual burden on 

respondents: 106 hours. (Due to 

averaging, the total annual burden hours 

may not equal the product of the annual 

number of responses multiplied by the 

reporting burden per response.) 

All responses to this notice will be 

summarized and included in the request 

for OMB approval. All comments will 

also become a matter of public record. 

Done in Washington, DC, this 3rd day of 

August 2009. 

William H. Clay, 

Acting Administrator, Animal and Plant 

Health Inspection Service.

Purpose and Need for Action 

The Lolo National Forest Plan, 1986, 

provides overall guidance for land 

management activities in the project 

area. The purposes of the Cedar-Thom 

project are to: (1) Restore vegetative 

conditions that are resistant to 

undesirable effects of fire, insects, 

disease, and drought; (2) Reduce forest 

fuels in wildland urban interface (WUI) 

and non-WUI areas and re-establish fire 

as a disturbance process on the 

landscape; (3) Improve or maintain big 

game winter range; (4) Enhance 

watershed health with improvements to 

fish habitat and stream function; and (5) 

Enhance recreation opportunities and 

establish trail travel management 

designations consistent with land 

management objectives. 

Proposed Action 

The Cedar-Thom project area of 

approximately 58,000 acres is located 

southwest of Superior, Montana within 

TI5N, R27W; TI5N, R28W; TI6N, R27W; 

TI6N, R28W; TI7N, R26W; T 1 7N, 

R27W, P.M.M. Within this area, the Lolo 

National Forest proposes the following 

activities to achieve the purpose and 

need for the project: (1) Timber harvest 

on approximately 6758 acres; (2) noncommercial mechanical vegetation 

treatments on about 2290 acres; (3) 

Prescribed burning on approximately 

9550 acres; (4) temporary road 

construction (5 miles) and long-term 

specified road construction (6 miles); (5) 

Road decommissioning (116 miles), 

road storage (9 miles), and gate closure 

(6 miles); (6) Culvert replacements; (7) 

Restoration of selected stream segments; 

(8) Riparian vegetation planting; (9) 

Removal of a 500-foot segment of 

historic railroad grade that infringes on 

Cedar Creek; (10) Roadside weed 

spraying; (11) Development of an 8-mile 

ATV trail using primarily existing road 

prisms; (12) Construction of an 

equestrian trailhead for the Thompson 

Creek trail (#173); (13) Construction of 

a non-motorized trail from Mink Peak to 

Lost Lake; and (14) Change the travel 

management status on trails that are 

currently designated as both motorized 

and non-motorized to non-motorized 

only. 

If, after the completion of the 

environmental analysis and review of 

public comments the Responsible 

Official decides to select an action 

alternative, implementation could begin 

in 2012 and would continue for several 

years. 

Nature of Decision To Be Made 

The Forest Supervisor will decide 

whether to implement the proposed 

action, take an alternative action that 

meets the purpose and need, or take no 

action. The decision may include a sitespecific amendment to the Lolo 

National Forest Plan to allow 

approximately 215 acres of fuel 

reduction treatments that would include 

the removal of commercial-sized trees 

within Management Area 11, in which 

the Forest Plan limits tree cutting to that 

required to eliminate safety hazards or 

permit trail construction. 

Scoping Process 

This notice of intent initiates the 

scoping process, which guides the 

development of the environmental 

impact statement. Information on the 

proposed action will be posted on the 

Forest Web site at: http://www.fs.fed.us/ 

rl/lolo/projects/. 

It is important that reviewers provide 

their comments at such times and in 

such manner that they are useful to the 

agency’s preparation of the 

environmental impact statement. 

Therefore, comments should be 

provided prior to the close of the 

comment period and should clearly 

articulate the reviewer’s concerns and 

contentions.
