requirements in the NPRM. TSA is 

publishing this 30-day notice to provide 

the public additional opportunity to 

provide written comments directly to 

OMB. 

Through the NPRM, TSA proposed 

requiring States that seek a waiver to 

submit an application and supporting 

materials to TSA using the procedures 

in 6 CFR 37.9(a) and 37.10(a)–(b). This 

collection of the information will enable 

TSA to issue a waiver to States, and 

TSA will use all of the submitted 

documentation to evaluate a State’s 

request for a waiver, if and when the 

NPRM is made final. States would be 

required to submit information to TSA 

as part of their applications for a 

certificate of waiver for mDLs, as well 

as to comply with reporting 

requirements, and in response to TSA 

notices of suspension and termination. 

The NPRM also proposed continuing 

obligations on a State that has been 

issued a waiver that may require it to 

submit additional materials to TSA. 

Specifically, the NPRM, if finalized, 

would require the following information 

collections from States: 

(i) Submission of Initial Application and 

Audit Report 

(ii) Supplemental Submissions 

(iii) Request for Reconsideration of 

Denied Application 

(iv) Re-Application 

(v) Reporting of Significant 

Modifications to mDL Issuance 

Processes 

(vi) Reporting of Discovery of 

Significant Cyber Incident or 

Breach 

(vii) Responses to TSA Notices of 

Suspension and Termination

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the 

Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), 

intend to prepare an environmental 

impact statement (EIS) pursuant to the 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA; 42 U.S.C 4321 et seq.), the 

Council on Environmental Quality’s 

regulations for implementing NEPA (40 

CFR parts 1500–1508), and the 

Department of the Interior’s NEPA 

regulations (43 CFR part 46) for a 

proposed project to eradicate nonnative 

rats from four uninhabited islands 

(Amchitka, Attu, Great Sitkin, and Kiska 

Islands) located in the Alaska Maritime 

National Wildlife Refuge (Refuge). The 

U.S. Department of Agriculture’s 

Animal and Plant Health Inspection 

Service (APHIS) is a cooperating agency 

on the EIS. We invite comments from 

the public and local, State, Tribal, and 

Federal agencies on the scope of the 

analysis, potential alternatives, and 

identification of relevant information, 

studies, and analyses. 

Purpose and Need for the Proposed 

Action 

The purpose of the proposed action is 

to eradicate nonnative rats from 

Amchitka, Attu, Great Sitkin, and Kiska 

Islands in the Aleutian archipelago, in 

order to eliminate their impacts on 

native species and to restore natural 

island ecosystems. Nonnative rats occur 

on these four uninhabited islands, 

where they have impacted native 

wildlife populations and altered natural 

ecosystem function. 

The Refuge encompasses over 1.9 

million hectares and several thousand 

coastal islands in Alaska. The long-term 

management strategies for the Refuge 

are guided by its record of decision for 

its Final Comprehensive Conservation 

Plan/Environmental Impact Statement 

and Wilderness Review (plan) (FWS 

1988). The wildlife management goal of 

the selected management alternative in 

the plan is to protect existing fish and 

wildlife populations and habitats, 

restore endangered and other species to 

natural levels, and increase 

opportunities for wildlife viewing and 

other nonconsumptive uses. One of the 

strategies identified to meet this goal is 

the eradication of introduced predators 

and rodents. Many Refuge islands have 

had accidental and intentional 

introductions of nonendemic mammals 

(e.g., Arctic and red fox, ground 

squirrel, Norway rat, house mouse, 

caribou, reindeer, cattle, and Arctic and 

European hare). Although new 

introductions are prohibited, accidental 

introductions, particularly of rodents, 

are still of great concern. 

Action is needed because rats have 

invaded at least 12 large islands in the 

Aleutian Island archipelago, including 

Amchitka, Attu, Great Sitkin, and Kiska 

Islands, and the diversity and numbers 

of breeding birds are conspicuously low 

on islands with established populations 

of introduced rats, which is consistent 

with worldwide observations of the 

devastating direct impacts of introduced 

rats on seabirds. Most of the Aleutian 

Islands lying within the Refuge provide 

important breeding habitat for seabirds, 

including many bird species for which 

the Aleutians provide a substantial 

portion of their worldwide range. Ratcaused modifications to other 

components of the island ecosystems 

(e.g., other birds, plants, and 

invertebrates) are also evident. 

The restoration of Aleutian 

ecosystems through eradications of 

introduced predators has long been 

identified as a management priority for 

the Refuge. Introduced foxes have been 

removed from over 40 islands in the 

Aleutians, while Norway rats have been
