Availability of an Environmental 

Assessment for Field Testing a 

Marek’s Disease Vaccine, Serotype 1, 

Live Virus 

AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health 

Inspection Service, USDA. 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: We are advising the public 

that the Animal and Plant Health 

Inspection Service has prepared an 

environmental assessment concerning 

authorization to ship for the purpose of 

field testing, and then to field test, an 

unlicensed Marek’s disease vaccine, 

serotype 1, live virus. The 

environmental assessment, which is 

based on a risk analysis prepared to 

assess the risks associated with the field 

testing of this vaccine, examines the 

potential effects that field testing this 

veterinary vaccine could have on the 

quality of the human environment. 

Based on the risk analysis and other 

relevant data, we have reached a 

preliminary determination that field 

testing this veterinary vaccine will not 

have a significant impact on the quality 

of the human environment, and that an 

environmental impact statement need 

not be prepared. We intend to authorize 

shipment of this vaccine for field testing 

following the close of the comment 

period for this notice unless new 

substantial issues bearing on the effects 

of this action are brought to our 

attention. We also intend to issue a U.S. 

Veterinary Biological Product license for 

this vaccine, provided the field test data 

support the conclusions of the 

environmental assessment and the 

issuance of a finding of no significant 

impact and the product meets all other 

requirements for licensing. 

DATES: We will consider all comments 

that we receive on or before May 14, 

2015. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments
