7 CFR Part 301 

[Docket No. APHIS–2006–0029] 

Gypsy Moth Generally Infested Areas; 

Ohio, West Virginia, and Wisconsin 

AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health 

Inspection Service, USDA. 

ACTION: Adoption of interim rule as final 

rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting as a final 

rule, without change, an interim rule 

that amended the gypsy moth 

regulations by adding one county in 

Ohio, one county in West Virginia, and 

two counties in Wisconsin to the list of 

generally infested areas based on the 

detection of infestations of gypsy moth 

in those counties. As a result of the 

interim rule, the interstate movement of 

regulated articles from those areas is 

restricted. The interim rule was 

necessary to prevent the artificial spread 

of the gypsy moth to noninfested States. 

DATES: Effective on August 31, 2006, we 

are adopting as a final rule the interim 

rule that became effective on April 28, 

2006.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar 

(Linnaeus), is a destructive pest of forest 

and shade trees. The gypsy moth 

regulations (contained in 7 CFR 301.45 

through 301.45–12 and referred to 

below as the regulations) restrict the 

interstate movement of regulated 

articles from generally infested areas to 

prevent the artificial spread of the gypsy 

moth. 

In an interim rule 1 effective and 

published in the Federal Register on 

April 28, 2006 (71 FR 25063–25064, 

Docket No. APHIS–2006–0029), we 

amended the regulations by adding one 

county in Ohio, one county in West 

Virginia, and two counties in Wisconsin 

to the list of generally infested areas in 

§ 301.45–3. 

Comments on the interim rule were 

required to be received on or before June 

27, 2006. We did not receive any 

comments. Therefore, for the reasons 

given in the interim rule, we are 

adopting the interim rule as a final rule. 

This action also affirms the 

information contained in the interim 

rule concerning Executive Order 12866 

and the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 

Executive Orders 12372 and 12988, and 

the Paperwork Reduction Act. 

Further, for this action, the Office of 

Management and Budget has waived its 

review under Executive Order 12866.

NASA Grant and Cooperative 

Agreement Handbook—Resource

NASA Grant Handbook section, 

‘‘Resource Sharing Requirements’’ to 

add the word percent behind the blanks

contributions by both parties.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Background 

The NASA Grant Handbook at 

§ 1274.904 identifies how NASA and a 

Cooperative Agreement recipient will 

share in providing the resources 

necessary to perform a cooperative 

agreement. Currently, the provision 

contains two blanks that do not identify 

the unit of measure associated with the 

blanks and does not provide a space for 

the associated dollar amounts. This final 

rule makes the corrective editorial 

changes. 

B. Regulatory Flexibility Act 

NASA certifies that this final rule will 

not have a significant economic impact 

on a substantial number of small entities 

within the meaning of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq., 

because the changes merely make 

editorial corrections to existing coverage 

in the Grant Handbook. 

C. Paperwork Reduction Act 

The Paperwork Reduction Act does 

not apply because this rule does not 

impose any new recordkeeping or 

information collection requirements, or 

collection of information from offerors, 

contractors, or members of the public 

that require the approval of the Office of
