Farm Service Agency 

Title: Emergency Conservation 

Program. 

OMB Control Number: 0560–0082. 

Summary of Collection: The Farm 

Service Agency (FSA), in cooperation 

with the Natural Resources 

Conservation Service, the Forest 

Service, and other agencies and 

organizations, provides eligible 

producers and landowners cost-share 

incentives and technical assistance 

through several conservation and 

environmental programs to help 

farmers, ranchers, and other eligible 

landowners and operators conserve soil, 

improve water quality, develop forests, 

and rehabilitate farmland severely 

damaged by natural disasters. The 

authorities to collect information for 

this collection are found under the 

Agricultural Credit Act of 1978 (16 

U.S.C. 2201–2205), which provides 

emergency funds for sharing with 

agricultural producers the cost of 

rehabilitating farmland damaged by 

natural disaster, and for carrying out 

emergency water conservation measures 

during periods of severe drought. 

Need and Use of the Information: FSA 

will collect information using several 

forms. The collected information will be 

used to determine if the person, land, 

and practices are eligible for 

participation in the respective program 

and to receive cost-share assistance.

Availability of an Environmental 

Assessment and Finding of No 

Significant Impact for a Biological 

Control Agent for Asian Citrus Psyllid 

AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health 

Inspection Service, USDA. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: We are advising the public 

that the Animal and Plant Health 

Inspection Service has prepared an 

environmental assessment and finding 

of no significant impact relative to the 

control of Asian citrus psyllid 

(Diaphorina citri Kuwayama). The 

environmental assessment considers the 

effects of, and alternatives to, the release 

of an insect, Tamarixia radiata, into the 

continental United States for use as a 

biological control agent to reduce the 

severity of Asian citrus psyllid 

infestations. Based on our finding of no 

significant impact, we have determined 

that an environmental impact statement 

need not be prepared.

insect, Tamarixia radiata, into the 

continental United States for use as a 

biological control agent to reduce the 

severity of Asian citrus psyllid (ACP) 

infestations. 

On May 20, 2010, we published in the 

Federal Register (75 FR 28233–28234, 

Docket No. APHIS–2010–0028) a 

notice 1 in which we announced the 

availability, for public review and 

comment, of an environmental 

assessment (EA) relative to the control 

of ACP. 

The EA, titled ‘‘Proposed Release of a 

Parasitoid (Tamarixia radiata 

Waterston) for the Biological Control of 

Asian Citrus Psyllid (Diaphorina citri 

Kuwayama) in the Continental United 

States’’ (November 2009), considered the 

effects of, and alternatives to, the release 

of Tamarixia radiata into the 

continental United States for use as a 

biological control agent to reduce the 

severity of ACP infestations. 

We solicited comments on the EA for 

30 days ending on June 21, 2010. We 

received four comments by that date. 

All of the commenters were supportive 

of the proposed action. 

Based on the information contained in 

the EA, we have determined that the 

environmental release of the insect 

Tamarixia radiata is not expected to 

result in a significant impact to the 

human environment, and an 

environmental impact statement does 

not need to be prepared. 

The EA and finding of no significant 

impact have been 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).

Forest Service 

Ochoco National Forest, Lookout 

Mountain Ranger District; Oregon; 

Marks Creek Allotment Management 

Plans EIS 

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA. 

ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare an 

environmental impact statement. 

SUMMARY: The Ochoco National Forest is 

preparing an environmental impact 

statement (EIS) to analyze the effects of 

changing grazing management in three 

grazing allotments on the Lookout 

Mountain Ranger District. These three 

allotments are Marks Creek, Ortman and 

Wildcat. The proposed action will 

reauthorize term grazing permits, make 

rangeland improvements, reduce 

livestock stocking rates, manage 

livestock use and distribution to 

facilitate the improvement of riparian 

conditions, including streambank 

stability, riparian vegetation, and water 

temperature, and will conduct riparian 

restoration activities on some streams in 

the project area. These actions are 

needed to achieve and maintain 

consistency with the Ochoco National 

Forest Land and Resource Management 

Plan, as amended. 

DATES: Comments concerning the scope 

of the analysis must be received by 

February 28, 2011. The draft 

environmental impact statement is 

expected to be completed and available 

for public comment in June 2011. The 

final environmental impact statement is 

expected to be completed in September 

2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Purpose and Need for Action 

The purpose of this proposal is to 

reauthorize livestock grazing consistent 

with Forest Plan standards and 

guidelines. Based on surveys conditions 

on some streams in the project area are 

moving away from desired condition; 

there is a need to make range 

improvements and change livestock 

management to move towards desired 

conditions for stream shade, bank 

stability and width-to-depth ratio. 

Livestock grazing is one of the factors 

that contribute to altered riparian 

function. Active riparian restoration 

activities will facilitate the achievement 

of the desired condition. 

Proposed Action 

The proposed action includes a 

variety of management strategies and 

activities, including reduction of 

livestock stocking rates, active 

management of livestock, relocation or 

reconstruction of existing water 

developments, planting of riparian 

hardwoods, placing logs and rocks in 

and along stream channels, and 

protection of riparian vegetation and 

streambanks. 

Marks Creek Allotment 

The allotment would consist of 10,546 

acres divided between six pasturesGarden, Grant Meadows, Little Hay 

Creek, Nature, Pothole, and Spears 

Meadow. The current stocking rate 

(1482 AUMs) would be reduced to 939 

AUMs; 232 cow/calf pairs from July 1 to 

September 30 would be authorized. 

Stocking reduction would take place 

over 4 years with total AUMs being 

reduced by about 135 per year. Existing 

structural improvements would be 

reauthorized including 13 troughs and 

about 28 miles of fence. The grazing 

system would be a six pasture rotation. 

The permittee or the permittee’s 

representative would be present on the 

allotment and would move livestock, 

when needed, to achieve desired 

distribution to prevent excessive forage 

utilization or streambank alteration. 

Livestock would be checked a minimum 

of 2 days per week up until July 1 and 

then a minimum of every other day after 

July 1. 

• Garden pasture: 

• Reconstruct 1 water development. 

• Grant Meadows pasture: 

• Riparian restoration activities 

would take place on 1.5 miles of 

Deadman Creek, 2 miles of Rush Creek, 

and 1 mile of Long Hollow Creek; 

activities would include in-stream 

placement of wood and/or rock 

structures, planting hardwoods, and 

creating physical barriers (such as 

wood, rock or fences) to protect 

hardwoods and improve bank stability. 

Wood and physical barrier material may 

come from on-site.
