Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Permits, Santa Cruz County, CA
We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), have received applications from William Menchine and Alicia Stanton and the San Lorenzo Valley Water District (applicants) for incidental take permits under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). We are considering issuing permits that would authorize the applicants' take of the Federally endangered Mount Hermon June beetle (Polyphylla barbata) incidental to otherwise lawful activities that would result in the permanent loss of 0.05 acre (2,182 square feet (sq ft)) of Mount Hermon June beetle habitat near Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz County, California. We invite comments from the public on the applications, which include Habitat Conservation Plans (HCPs) that fully describe the proposed projects and measures the applicants would undertake to minimize and mitigate anticipated take of the species. We also invite comments on our preliminary determination that the HCPs qualify as ``low-effect'' plans, eligible for categorical exclusions under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, as amended. We explain the basis for this determination in our draft Environmental Action Statements and associated Low-Effect Screening Forms, both of which are also available for review.

Guidance for Industry: Nucleic Acid Testing (NAT) for Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1) and Hepatitis C Virus (HCV): Testing, Product Disposition, and Donor Deferral and Reentry; Availability
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the availability of a document entitled ``Guidance for Industry: Nucleic Acid Testing (NAT) for Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1) and Hepatitis C Virus (HCV): Testing, Product Disposition, and Donor Deferral and Reentry'' dated May 2010. The guidance document provides recommendations to blood and plasma establishments, manufacturers, and testing laboratories that are implementing a licensed method for Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1) Nucleic Acid Test (NAT) and Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) NAT, on testing individual samples or pooled samples from donors of human blood and blood components for HIV-1 ribonucleic acid (RNA) and HCV RNA. This guidance also contains recommendations regarding product disposition and donor management based on the results of NAT and serologic testing for markers of HIV-1 and HCV infection on samples, collected at the time of donation, from donors of human blood and blood components. The guidance announced in this notice finalizes the draft guidance of the same title, dated July 2005. This guidance also supersedes the recommendations for reentry of donors deferred because of anti-HIV-1 test results, HIV-1 p24 antigen test results, and anti-HCV test results that were provided in the FDA memoranda entitled ``Revised Recommendations for the Prevention of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV-1) Transmission by Blood and Blood Products,'' April 23, 1992; ``Revised Recommendations for Testing Whole Blood, Blood Components, Source Plasma and Source Leukocytes for Antibody to Hepatitis C Virus Encoded Antigen (Anti-HCV),'' August 5, 1993; ``Recommendations for Donor Screening with a Licensed Test for HIV-1 Antigen,'' August 8, 1995.

Guidance for Industry: Requalification Method for Reentry of Blood Donors Deferred Because of Reactive Test Results for Antibody to Hepatitis B Core Antigen (Anti-HBc); Availability
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the availability of a document entitled ``Guidance for Industry: Requalification Method for Reentry of Blood Donors Deferred Because of Reactive Test Results for Antibody to Hepatitis B Core Antigen (Anti- HBc),'' dated May 2010. The guidance document provides recommendations to establishments that collect Whole Blood or blood components intended for transfusion, with recommendations for a requalification method or process for reentering deferred donors into the donor pool based on a determination that previous tests that were repeatedly reactive for antibodies to hepatitis B core antigen (anti-HBc) were falsely positive and that there is no evidence of infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV). These recommendations are based on the recent availability of FDA-licensed hepatitis B virus nucleic acid tests (HBV NAT) that are particularly sensitive when single samples are tested. These tests provide an additional, powerful method of determining whether a donor who has been deferred because of anti-HBc reactivity is truly infected by HBV. The guidance announced in this notice finalizes the draft guidance of the same title dated May 2008.
