Controlled Release of Genetically 

Engineered Eucalyptus Hybrids 

AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health 

Inspection Service, USDA.

Inspection Service has prepared an 

environmental assessment for a 

proposed controlled field release of

constructs that confer cold-tolerance 

from a previously approved notification 

and test the efficacy of a third, claimed 

as confidential business information.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

regulations in 7 CFR part 340, 

‘‘Introduction of Organisms and 

Products Altered or Produced Through 

Genetic Engineering Which Are Plant 

Pests or Which There Is Reason to 

Believe Are Plant Pests,’’ regulate, 

among other things, the introduction 

(importation, interstate movement, or 

release into the environment) of 

organisms and products altered or 

produced through genetic engineering 

that are plant pests or that there is 

reason to believe are plant pests. Such 

genetically engineered organisms and 

products are considered ‘‘regulated 

articles.’’ A permit must be obtained or 

a notification acknowledged before a 

regulated article may be introduced. The 

regulations set forth the permit 

application requirements and the 

notification procedures for the 

importation, interstate movement, or 

release in the environment of a 

regulated article. 

On November 21, 2006, the Animal 

and Plant Health Inspection Service 

(APHIS) received a permit application 

(APHIS No. 06–325–111r) from 

ArborGen, LLC, in Summerville, SC, for 

a controlled field release of genetically 

engineered Eucalyptus hybrids. Under 

this permit, trees planted under a 

previously approved notification (05– 

256–03n) would be allowed to flower. 

Permit application 06–325–111r 

describes Eucalyptus trees engineered 

with three constructs. Two of these 

constructs are intended to confer cold 

tolerance and the third genetic construct 

is claimed as confidential business 

information (CBI). In addition, the trees 

have been engineered with a selectable 

marker gene, also claimed as CBI. These 

DNA sequences were introduced into 

Eucalyptus trees using disarmed 

Agrobacterium tumefaciens. The subject 

Eucalyptus trees are considered 

regulated articles under the regulations 

in 7 CFR part 340 because they were 

created using donor sequences from 

plant pests. 

To provide the public with 

documentation of APHIS’ review and 

analysis of any potential environmental 

impacts and plant pest risks associated 

with the proposed release of these 

Eucalyptus trees, an environmental 

assessment (EA) has been prepared. The 

EA was 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). 

The EA may be viewed on the 

Regulations.gov Web site or in our 

reading room. (Instructions for accessing 

Regulations.gov and information on the 

location and hours of the reading room 

are provided under the heading 

ADDRESSES at the beginning of this 

notice.) In addition, copies may be 

obtained by calling or writing to the 

individuals listed under FOR FURTHER

Notice of New Fee Site; Federal Lands 

Recreation Enhancement Act, (Title 

VIII, Pub. L. 108–447) 

AGENCY: Bridger-Teton National Forest, 

USDA Forest Service. 

ACTION: Notice of new fee site. 

SUMMARY: The Bridger-Teton National 

Forest is planning to charge an $80 fee 

for the overnight rental of Green River 

Lakes Lodge. This facility has not been 

available for recreation use prior to this 

date. Rentals of other historic guard 

stations on the Bridger-Teton National 

Forest have shown that people 

appreciate and enjoy the availability of 

historic rental cabins. Funds from the 

rental will be used for the continued 

operation and maintenance of Green 

River Lakes Lodge. 

DATES: Green River Lakes Lodge will 

become available for recreation rental 

October 2007. 

ADDRESSES: Forest Supervisor, BridgerTeton National Forest, P.O. Box 1888/ 

340 N. Cache, Jackson, WY 83001. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Cindy Stein, Natural Resources 

Specialist, 307–367–5717. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Federal Recreation Lands Enhancement 

Act (Title VII, Pub. L. 108–447) directed 

the Secretary of Agriculture to publish 

a six month advance notice in the 

Federal Register whenever new 

recreation fee areas are established. This 

new fee will be reviewed by a 

Recreation Resource Advisory 

Committee prior to a final decision and 

implementation. 

The Bridger-Teton National Forest 

currently has numerous other cabin 

rentals. These rentals are often fully 

booked throughout their rental season. 

A business analysis of the Green River 

Lakes Lodge has shown that people 

desire having this sort of recreation 

experience on the Bridger-Teton 

National Forest. A market analysis 

indicates that the $80/per night fee is 

both reasonable and acceptable for this 

sort of unique recreation experience. 

People wanting to rent Green River 

Lakes Lodge will need to do so through 

the National Recreation Reservation 

Service, at http://www.reserveusa.com 

or by calling 1–877–444–6777. The 

National Recreation Reservation Service 

charges a $9 fee for reservations.
