SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Note: In March 2003, the agricultural 

import and entry inspection activities that 

had been performed by employees of the 

Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service 

(APHIS) were transferred to the Department 

of Homeland Security (DHS). Some of the 

regulations cited in this notice have not yet 

been updated to reflect this change, so in the 

interests of consistency with those 

regulations this notice continues to refer to 

‘‘APHIS employees’’ and services provided or 

work performed by APHIS employees. 

Readers should be aware, however, that DHS 

personnel are currently performing certain of 

the agricultural import and entry inspection 

activities discussed in this notice for which 

overtime charges or user fees are applicable.

Reimbursable Overtime Charges 

The regulations in 7 CFR chapter III 

and 9 CFR chapter I, subchapters D and 

G, require inspection, laboratory testing, 

certification, or quarantine of certain 

animals, poultry, animal byproducts, 

germ plasm, organisms, vectors, plants, 

plant products, or other regulated 

commodities or articles intended for 

importation into, or exportation from, 

the United States. With some 

exceptions, when these services must be 

provided by an APHIS employee on a 

Sunday or on a holiday, or at any other 

time outside the APHIS employee’s 

regular duty hours, the Government 

charges an hourly overtime fee for the 

services in accordance with 7 CFR part 

354 and 9 CFR part 97. 

In a final rule published in the 

Federal Register on July 25, 2002 (67 FR 

48519–48525, Docket No. 00–087–2), 

and effective August 11, 2002, we 

established, for fiscal years 2002 

through 2006 and beyond, reimbursable 

overtime rates for Sunday, holiday, or 

other overtime work performed by 

APHIS employees for any person, firm, 

or corporation having ownership, 

custody, or control of animals, poultry, 

animal byproducts, germ plasm, 

organisms, vectors, plants, plant 

products, or other regulated 

commodities or articles subject to 

inspection, laboratory testing, 

certification, or quarantine. In this 

document we are providing notice to the 

public of the reimbursable overtime fees 

for fiscal year 2006 (October 1, 2005, 

through September 30, 2006). 

Under the regulations in 7 CFR 

354.1(a) and 9 CFR 97.1(a), any person, 

firm, or corporation having ownership, 

custody or control of plants, plant 

products, animals, animal byproducts, 

or other commodities or articles subject 

to inspection, laboratory testing, 

certification, or quarantine who requires 

the services of an APHIS employee on 

a Sunday or holiday, or at any other 

time outside the regular tour of duty of 

that employee, shall sufficiently in 

advance of the period of Sunday, 

holiday, or overtime service request the 

APHIS inspector in charge to furnish the 

service during the overtime or Sunday 

or holiday period, and shall, beginning 

October 1, 2005, pay the Government at 

the rate listed in the following table:

50292 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 165 / Friday, August 26, 2005 / Notices

beginning Oct. 1, 2005 

Monday through Saturday and holidays .................................................................................................................... $51.00 

Sundays ..................................................................................................................................................................... 67.00 

As specified in 7 CFR 354.1(a)(1)(iii) 

and 9 CFR 97.1(a)(3), the overtime rates 

to be charged beginning October 1, 

2005, to owners and operators of aircraft 

at airports of entry or other places of 

inspection as a consequence of the 

operation of the aircraft, for work 

performed outside of the regularly 

established hours of service will be as 

follows:

1These charges exclude administrative overhead costs. 

A minimum charge of 2 hours shall be 

made for any Sunday or holiday or 

unscheduled overtime duty performed 

by an employee on a day when no work 

was scheduled for him or her, or which 

is performed by an employee on his or 

her regular workday beginning either at 

least 1 hour before his or her scheduled 

tour of duty or which is not in direct 

continuation of the employee’s regular 

tour of duty. In addition, each such 

period of Sunday or holiday or 

unscheduled overtime work to which 

the 2-hour minimum charge provision 

applies may include a commuted 

traveltime period (see 7 CFR 354.1(a)(2) 

and 9 CFR 97.1(b)).

Veterinary Diagnostic Services User 

Fees 

User fees to reimburse APHIS for the 

costs of providing veterinary diagnostic 

services are contained in 9 CFR part 130 

(referred to below as the regulations). 

These user fees are authorized by 

section 2509(c) of the Food, Agriculture, 

Conservation and Trade Act of 1990, as 

amended (21 U.S.C. 136a), which 

provides that the Secretary of 

Agriculture may, among other things, 

prescribe regulations and collect fees to 

recover the costs of veterinary 

diagnostics relating to the control and 

eradication of communicable disease of 

livestock or poultry within the United 

States. 

In a final rule published in the 

Federal Register on May 6, 2004 (68 FR 

25305–25312, Docket No. 00–024–2), 

and effective June 7, 2004, we 

established, for fiscal years 2004 

through 2007 and beyond, user fees for 

certain veterinary diagnostic services, 

including certain diagnostic tests, 

reagents, and other veterinary diagnostic 

materials and services. Veterinary 

diagnostics is the work performed in a 

laboratory to determine if a diseasecausing organism or chemical agent is 

present in body tissues or cells and, if 

so, to identify those organisms or agents. 

Services in this category include: (1) 

Performing identification, serology, and 

pathobiology tests and providing 

diagnostic reagents and other veterinary 

diagnostic materials and services at the 

National Veterinary Services 

Laboratories (NVSL) in Ames, IA; and 

(2) performing laboratory tests and 

providing diagnostic reagents and other 

veterinary diagnostic materials and 

services at the NVSL Foreign Animal 

Disease Diagnostic Laboratory (NVSL 

FADDL) in Greenport, NY. 

APHIS veterinary diagnostic user fees 

fall into six categories: 

(1) Laboratory tests, reagents, and 

other veterinary diagnostic services 

performed at NVSL FADDL;

Black-Tailed Prairie Dog Conservation 

and Management Nebraska National 

Forest, and Oglala National 

Grassland—Nebraska Buffalo Gap, and 

Fort Pierre National Grasslands—SD

AGENCY: USDA Forest Service.

ACTION: Notice of decision.

On August 3, 2005, Donald J. Bright 

(Responsible Official), Forest Supervisor 

of the Nebraska National Forest and 

Associated Units, signed the Record of 

Decision (ROD) to implement 

Alternative 3 of the Black-tailed Prairie 

Dog Conservation and Management 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). 

In summary, Alternative 3 provides 

for maintaining sufficient prairie dog 

colonies to ensure population viability 

for prairie dogs and other species 

dependent upon the prairie dog 

ecosystem, including the endangered 

black-footed ferret. At the same time, it 

redeems the responsibility of the Forest 

Service to act as a good neighbor and 

reduce the effects of land management 

decisions on adjoining landowners. 

This alternative prescribes an 

adaptive management concept using a 

full suite of tools, including expanded 

rodenticide use and vegetation 

management, through livestock grazing 

coordination, to manage and reduce 

selected prairie dog colonies along 

national grassland property boundaries. 

The purpose of this action is to reduce 

or eliminate unwanted movement to, 

and colonization of, private and tribal 

lands by black-tailed prairie dogs 

originating on the adjacent national 

grasslands listed above. 

The Record of Decision are available 

at the Nebraska National Forest Web site 

at http://www.fs.fed.us/r2/nebraska/

projects. It is also available on CD at the 

Nebraska National Forest Supervisor’s 

Office at 125 N. Main St., Chadron, NE 

69337, or by calling (308) 432–0300. 

Individuals or organizations 

submitting substantive comments 

during the comment period (36 CFR 

215.6) are eligible to appeal the decision 

pursuant to 26 CFR part 215 (Federal 

Register—June 4, 2003) or 26 CFR 251 

subpart C (FR—January 23, 1989), but 

not both. Appeals, including 

attachments, must be filed with the 

Appeal Deciding Officer within 45 days 

following the date of publication of the 

legal notice in the official newspapers of 

record, Rapid City Journal, Rapid City, 

South Dakota and the Omaha World 

Herald, Omaha, Nebraska for Nebraska 

National Forest Supervisor decisions in 

South Dakota and Nebraska 

respectively. The legal notice is the 

exclusive means for calculating the time 

to file an appeal. Those wishing to file 

an appeal should not rely upon dates or 

timeframe information provided by any 

other source. It is the responsibility of 

individuals wishing to file an appeal to
