SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Codex was established in 1963 by two 

United Nations organizations, the Food 

and Agriculture Organization and the 

World Health Organization. Through 

adoption of food standards, codes of 

practice, and other guidelines 

developed by its committees, and by 

promoting their adoption and 

implementation by governments, Codex 

seeks to protect the health of consumers 

and ensure fair practices in the food 

trade. 

The CCFFV is responsible for 

elaborating worldwide standards and 

codes of practice as may be appropriate 

for fresh fruits and vegetables and for 

consulting with other international 

organizations in the standards 

development process to avoid 

duplication. 

The Committee is hosted by Mexico.

Forest Service 

Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, 

Evanston-Mountain View Ranger 

District; Utah; West Fork Smiths Fork 

Colorado River Cutthroat Trout 

Enhancement 

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA. 

ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare an 

Environmental Impact Statement. 

SUMMARY: The Evanston-Mountain View 

Ranger District of the Uinta-WasatchCache National Forest (‘‘Forest 

Service’’), in cooperation with the Utah 

Division of Wildlife Resources (UDWR), 

proposes to treat the streams in the West 

Fork Smiths Fork drainage including 

some waters within the High Uintas 

Wilderness and High Uintas Inventoried 

Roadless Area with rotenone to remove 

non-native fish species and enhance 

habitat for native Colorado River 

cutthroat trout (CRCT; Onchorhynchus 

clarki pleuriticus). 

Implementation of this proposal 

would require the use of a piscicide (a 

substance used to kill fish; i.e., 

rotenone) to remove competing and 

hybridizing non-native fish species from 

selected streams. Non-native fish 

species to be removed are primarily 

rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) 

and hybridized Colorado River cutthroat 

trout, although all fish species would be 

removed from the project area. 

Following the last treatment of the 

selected streams, CRCT, sculpin (Cottus 

sp.), mountain sucker (Catostomus
