ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: We are advising the public 

that an environmental assessment and 

finding of no significant impact have 

been prepared by the Animal and Plant 

Health Inspection Service relative to the 

control of hemlock woolly adelgid. 

Based on its finding of no significant

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dr. 

Shirley Wager-Page, Chief, Pest

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The Animal and Plant Health 

Inspection Service (APHIS) is proposing 

to issue permits for the release of an 

insect, Laricobius osakensis, into the 

continental United States for use as a 

biological control agent to reduce the 

severity of hemlock woolly adelgid 

(Adelges tsugae, HWA) infestations. 

On January 19, 2011, we published in 

the Federal Register (75 FR 28232– 

28233, Docket No. APHIS–2010–0029) a 

notice 1 in which we announced the 

availability, for public review and 

comment, of an environmental 

assessment (EA) that examined the 

potential environmental impacts 

associated with the proposed release of 

this biological control agent into the 

continental United States. 

We solicited comments on the EA for 

30 days ending June 21, 2010. We 

received no comments by that date. 

In this document, we are advising the 

public of our finding of no significant 

impact (FONSI) regarding the release of 

L. osakensis into the continental United 

States for use as a biological control 

agent to reduce the severity of HWA 

infestations. The finding, which is based 

on the EA, reflects our determination 

that release of this biological control 

agent will not have a significant impact 

on the quality of the human 

environment. 

The EA and FONSI may be viewed on 

the Regulations.gov Web site (see 

footnote 1). Copies of the EA and FONSI 

are also available for public inspection 

at USDA, Room 1141, South Building, 

14th Street and Independence Avenue, 

SW., Washington, DC, between 8 a.m. 

and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, 

except holidays. Persons wishing to 

inspect copies are requested to call 

ahead on (202) 690–2817 to facilitate 

entry into the reading room. In addition, 

copies may be obtained by calling or 

writing to the individual listed under 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. 

The EA and FONSI 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).

submit information regarding property 

make, model, serial number, acquisition 

value, location, and acquisition date 

when an item is acquired or no longer 

needed. Forest Service property 

management technicians will collect the 

information from FEPMIS and enter it 

into a National Finance Center database

analyze the data collected to ensure that 

the property accountability is accurate 

and no misuse of property is occurring.
