System lands. Many BMPs are available 

for use and can be tailored to 

accommodate site-specific conditions. A 

monitoring protocol for this project will 

be included in the project 

implementation plan. 

Wildlife and Fisheries: A biological 

assessment/evaluation of all threatened, 

endangered, and sensitive wildlife and 

fish species that potentially occur in the 

project would be drafted to provide an 

assessment of the impacts of the 

proposed action. The best management 

practices above will minimize or 

eliminate the exposure of wildlife and 

fisheries to pesticides. The primary 

effect on federally listed or Forest 

Service sensitive species will be the 

physical presence to work crews in 

occupied habitat. The following 

resource protection measures would be 

carried out during project 

implementation to protect federally 

listed and R5 Forest Service sensitive 

species: 

• To avoid trampling of arroyo toads 

and California red-legged frogs, a 

qualified biologist would conduct a 

training session for all project personnel 

prior to conducting the proposed action 

in habitat for arroyo toads and 

California red-legged frogs. At a 

minimum, the training would include a 

description of the arroyo toad and its 

habitat, the general provisions of the 

Endangered Species Act; the necessity 

for adhering to the provisions of the Act; 

the penalties associated with violating 

the provisions of the Act; the general 

measures that are being implemented to 

conserve the listed species as they relate 

to the project; and the access routes to 

and from project site boundaries within 

which the treatments may be 

accomplished. 

• In arroyo toad and California redlegged frog habitat, all routes to 

treatment sites would be identified by a 

qualified biologist and used repeatedly 

by workers to minimize trampling of 

arroyo toads and vegetation. 

• Applicators would avoid walking or 

stepping in water, to the maximum 

extent possible. They would also avoid 

spilling herbicide on footwear and 

clothing to prevent inadvertent 

contamination if contact with water 

occurs. 

• All access routes and treatment 

sites within arroyo toad and California 

red-legged frog habitat would be 

thoroughly searched for the presence of 

arroyo toads and California red-legged 

frog by a qualified biologist, prior to the 

onset of project activities at each site. 

This should occur within two weeks of 

work commencement. 

• Arroyo toads and California redlegged frog found within the treatment 

sites shall be carefully moved outside 

the immediate work area and released 

by a qualified biologist permitted by 

USFWS to handle these species. 

Animals found within access routes 

may be moved to appropriate habitat if 

their avoidance is not practicable. If 

project activities cease for more than 

three days within any one treatment 

site, access routes and treatment areas 

would be searched again for arroyo 

toads and California red-legged frog 

prior to the start of the day’s work. 

Information that includes the date, time 

of capture, specific location of capture, 

approximate size, age and health of the 

individual would be recorded. 

• Treatments will be conducted 

during low stream flow or no stream 

flow periods of the year to avoid 

potential impacts to steelhead trout or 

their spawning redds during the late fall 

to early winter months. 

• If workers encounter aquatic 

wildlife species other than arroyo toads 

and California red-legged frog during 

project implementation they will allow 

the animal(s) to flee to safe areas out of 

the work sites or physically move the 

animals to safe locations. 

Sensitive Plants: A biological 

assessment/evaluation of all threatened, 

endangered, and sensitive plant species 

that potentially occur in the project 

would be drafted to provide an 

assessment of the impacts of the 

proposed action. Best Management 

practices above and the highly targeted 

application methods being used in this 

project will minimize the exposure of 

Forest Service sensitive plant species to 

herbicide. 

Noxious Weeds: Require cleaning of 

any tools carried into or out of the 

project area to reduce the risk of 

noxious weed spread. 

Heritage Resources: Areas requiring 

flagging and avoidance would be 

identified by a qualified heritage 

resources manager to the project planner 

prior to any implementation of project 

work. 

Possible Alternatives 

A full range of alternatives will be 

considered including action and noaction. Alternatives responding to issues 

generated during the scoping process 

and interdisciplinary team project 

development will also be developed and 

considered. All alternatives will comply 

with the Los Padres National Forest 

Land Management Plan. 

Responsible Official 

Peggy Hernandez, Forest Supervisor, 

Los Padres National Forest, Goleta 

California, is the responsible official for 

the EIS and its Record of Decision. As 

the Responsible Official, the Forest 

Supervisor will document the decision 

and reason for the decision in the 

Record of Decision. The decision will be 

subject to Forest Service Appeals 

Regulations (36 CFR part 215). 

Nature of Decision to be Made 

The Responsible Official will make a 

decision considering the following: 

1. Whether the proposed action will 

proceed as proposed, with 

modifications, or not at all. 

2. What associated mitigation 

measures and monitoring requirements 

will be required. 

Preliminary Issues 

Preliminary issues identified include 

the following: 

1. Hand removal is not controlling the 

current infestations of Tamarisk and 

herbicides are needed. 

2. Use of herbicides and the need to 

protect water quality and public safety. 

3. Presence of listed threatened and 

endangered species, their habitat, and/ 

or mapped critical habitat. 

Scoping Process 

This notice of intent initiates the 

scoping process, which guides the 

development of the environmental 

impact statement. 

The Forest Supervisor is seeking 

public and agency comment on the 

proposed action to identify issues that 

arise from the proposed action. The 

issues may lead to other alternatives, or 

additional mitigation measure and 

monitoring requirements. In addition to 

this notice, public scoping letters will 

be mailed to interested parties. 

It is important that reviewers provide 

their comments at such times and in 

such a way they are useful to the 

Agency’s preparation of the 

environmental impact statement. The 

submission of timely and specific 

comments can affect a reviewer’s ability 

to participate in subsequent 

administrative appeal of judicial review.

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). 

Title: Seafood Inspection and 

Certification Requirements. 

OMB Control Number: 0648–0266. 

Form Number(s): 89–800, 89–814, 89– 

819. 

Type of Request: Regular submission 

(extension of a current information 

collection). 

Number of Respondents: 3,339. 

Average Hours per Response: 

Application for inspection, application 

for appeal of previous inspection results 

and contract completion or amendment,

related to an existing plan, 40 hours. 

Burden Hours: 8,139. 

Needs and Uses: The National Marine 

Fisheries Service (NMFS) operates a 

voluntary fee-for-service seafood 

inspection program (Program) under the 

authorities of the Agricultural Marketing 

Act of 1946, as amended, the Fish and 

Wildlife Act of 1956, and the 

Reorganization Plan No. 4 of 1970. The 

regulations for the Program are 

contained in 50 CFR part 260. The 

program offers inspection grading and 

certification services, including the use 

of official quality grade marks which 

indicate that specific products have 

been Federally inspected. Those 

wishing to participate in the Program 

must request the services and submit 

specific compliance information. In July 

1992, NMFS announced new inspection 

services, which were fully based on 

guidelines recommended by the 

National Academy of Sciences, known 

as Hazard Analysis Critical Control 

Point (HACCP). The information 

collection requirements fall under 

§ 260.15 of the regulations. These 

guidelines required that a facility’s 

quality control system have a written 

plan of the operation, identification of 

control points with acceptance criteria 

and a corrective action plan, as well as 

identified personnel responsible for 

oversight of the system. The chapter 

entitled ‘‘Development, Assessment, 

Approval, and Continuing Compliance 

Evaluation of HACCP-based Inspection 

Systems,’’ from the NMFS Fishery 

Products Inspection Manual, describes 

in detail the requirements for 

participants choosing to receive NMFS 

HACCP-based inspection services. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations. 

Frequency: On occasion. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits.
