SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The Animal and Plant Health 

Inspection Service (APHIS) is issuing 

permits for the release of an insect, 

Lilioceris egena, into the continental 

United States for use as a biological 

control agent to reduce the severity of 

air potato (Dioscorea bulbifera) 

infestations. 

Air potato is an herbaceous, twining 

vine that can grow 65 feet long or more, 

capable of climbing and out-competing 

native vegetation. Since its introduction 

to Florida in 1905, air potato has 

aggressively spread throughout the 

State; this species is reportedly 

naturalized in Georgia, Alabama, 

Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, and 

Hawaii. In 1999, the Florida Department 

of Agricultural and Consumer Services 

added air potato to its list of noxious 

weeds in an attempt to protect the 

State’s native plant species from being 

displaced or hybridized. Presently, the 

air potato is well established in Florida 

and probably throughout the Gulf States 

where it has the potential to severely 

disrupt entire ecosystems. 

On January 8, 2021, we published in 

the Federal Register (86 FR 1477–1478, 

Docket No. APHIS–2019–0068) a 

notice 1 in which we announced the 

availability, for public review and 

comment, of an environmental 

assessment (EA) that examined the 

release of L. egena into the continental 

United States for use as a biological 

control agent to reduce the severity of 

air potato (D. bulbifera) infestations. 

Comments on the notice were required 

to be received on or before February 8, 

2021. We received 14 comments by that 

date, and they are addressed in the EA. 

All of the comments were in favor of the 

proposed release and did not raise any 

substantive issues. 

In this document, we are advising the 

public of our finding of no significant 

impact (FONSI) regarding the release of 

L. egena, into the continental United 

States for use as a biological control 

agent to reduce the severity of air potato 

(D. bulbifera) infestations. The finding, 

which is based on the EA, reflects our 

determination that release of L. egena, 

into the continental United States will 

not have a significant impact on the 

quality of the human environment. 

The EA and FONSI may be viewed on 

the Regulations.gov website (see 

footnote 1). Copies of the EA and FONSI 

are also available for public inspection 

at 1620 of the USDA South Building, 

14th Street and Independence Avenue 

SW, Washington, DC. Normal reading 

room hours are 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., 

Monday through Friday, except 

holidays. Persons wishing to inspect 

copies are requested to call ahead on 

(202) 799–7039 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). 

Done in Washington, DC, this 27th day of 

April 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Annual Wildfire Summary 

Report. 

OMB Number: 0596–0025. 

Expiration Date of Approval: 

December 31, 2022. 

Type of Request: Renewal without 

Revision. 

Abstract: The Cooperative Forestry 

Assistance Act of 1978 (16 U.S.C. 2101 

(note) Sec. 10) requires the Forest 

Service to collect information about 

wildfire suppression efforts by State and 

local firefighting agencies in support of 

congressional funding requests for the 

Forest Service State and Private Forestry 

Cooperative Fire Program. The program 

provides supplemental funding for State 

and local firefighting agencies. The 

Forest Service works cooperatively with 

State and local firefighting agencies to 

support their fire suppression efforts. 

State fire marshals and State forestry 

officials use form FS–3100–8 (Annual 

Wildfire Summary Report) to report 

information to the Forest Service 

regarding State and local wildfire 

suppression efforts. The Forest Service 

is unable to assess the effectiveness of 

the State and Private Forestry 

Cooperative Fire Program without this 

information. Forest Service managers 

evaluate the information to determine if 

the Cooperative Fire Program funds 

used by State and local fire agencies

Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 85 / Tuesday, May 3, 2022 / Notices 26185 

have improved fire suppression 

capabilities. The Forest Service shares 

the information with Congress as part of 

the annual request for funding for this 

program. 

The information collected includes 

the number of fires responded to by 

State or local firefighting agencies 

within a fiscal year, as well as the 

following information pertaining to 

such fires: 

• Total number of acres protected by 

the State; 

• Size (in acres) of the fires; and 

• Cause of fires (lightning, campfires, 

arson, etc.). 

The data gathered is not available 

from any other sources. 

Estimate of Burden per Response: 30 

minutes. 

Type of Respondents: State fire 

marshals or State forestry officials. 

Estimated Annual Number of 

Respondents: 56. 

Estimated Annual Number of 

Responses per Respondent: 1. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 28 hours. 

Comment is invited on: (1) Whether 

this collection of information is 

necessary for the stated purposes and 

the proper performance of the functions 

of the Agency, including whether the 

information will have practical or 

scientific utility; (2) the accuracy of the 

Agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

collection of information, including the 

validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (4) 

ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on 

respondents, including the use of 

automated, electronic, mechanical, or 

other technological collection 

techniques or other forms of information 

technology.
