SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
In an interim rule published in the
Federal Register on December 13, 2002
(67 FR 76908–76938, Docket No. 02–
088–1) and effective on February 11,
2003, the Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service (APHIS) established
regulations in 7 CFR part 331 and 9 CFR
part 121 governing the possession, use,
and transfer of biological agents and
toxins that have been determined to
have the potential to pose a severe
threat to public health and safety, to
animal health, to plant health, or to
animal or plant products (i.e., select
agents and toxins).
On March 18, 2005, we published in
the Federal Register (70 FR 13242–
13292, Docket No. 02–088–4) a final
rule that adopts, with changes, the
December 2002 interim rule. The final
rule includes certain regulatory
provisions that differ from those
included in the December 2002 interim
rule. Some of those provisions involve
changes from the information collection
requirements set out in the December
2002 interim rule, which were approved
by the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) under OMB control
number 0579–0213.
In accordance with section 3507(j) of
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3501 et. seq.), the information
collection and recordkeeping
requirements included in the final rule
were submitted for emergency approval
to OMB. OMB approved the collection
of information requirements with
respect to the final rule under OMB
control number 0579–0213 (expires
October 31, 2005).

Ventria Bioscience; Availability of
Environmental Assessment and
Finding of No Significant Impact for
Field Tests of Genetically Engineered
Rice Expressing Lysozyme
Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service, USDA.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: We are advising the public
that the Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service has prepared an
environmental assessment and reached
a finding of no significant impact for
confined field tests of rice plants
genetically engineered to express the
protein lysozyme. The environmental
assessment provides a basis for our
conclusion that these field tests will not
present a risk of introducing or
disseminating a plant pest and will not
have a significant impact on the quality
of the human environment. Based on its
finding of no significant impact, the
Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service has determined that an
environmental impact statement need
not be prepared for these field tests.
DATES: Effective Date: June 21, 2005.
ADDRESSES: You may read the
environmental assessment, the finding
of no significant impact, and any
comments that we received on Docket
No. 05–007–1 in our reading room. The
reading room is located in room 1141 of
the USDA South Building, 14th Street
