requirements for veterinary biological
products. Prior to conducting a field test
on an unlicensed product, an applicant
must obtain approval from the Animal
and Plant Health Inspection Service
(APHIS), as well as obtain APHIS’
authorization to ship the product for
field testing.
To determine whether to authorize
shipment and grant approval for the
field testing of the unlicensed product
referenced in this notice, APHIS
conducted a risk analysis to assess the
potential effects of this product on the
safety of animals, public health, and the
environment. Based on the risk analysis,
APHIS has prepared an environmental
assessment (EA) concerning the field
testing of the following unlicensed
veterinary biological product:
Requester: Intervet, Inc.
Product: Marek’s Disease-Newcastle
Disease Vaccine, Serotypes 2 and 3, Live
Virus, Live Marek’s Disease Vector.
Field Test Locations: Alabama,
Arkansas, Delaware, Georgia, Maryland,
Missouri, North Carolina, and South
Carolina.
The above-mentioned product is a
live recombinant virus consisting of the
avirulent Herpesvirus of Turkeys (HVT)
vector expressing a gene of Newcastle
disease virus. The vaccine is for use in
chickens as an aid in the prevention of
disease caused by Marek’s disease virus
and Newcastle disease virus.
The EA has 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 provision
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).
Unless substantial issues with adverse
environmental impacts are raised in
response to this notice, APHIS intends
to issue a finding of no significant
impact (FONSI) based on the EA and
authorize shipment of the above product
for the initiation of field tests following
the close of the comment period for this
notice.
Because the issues raised by field
testing and by issuance of a license are
identical, APHIS has concluded that the
EA that is generated for field testing
would also be applicable to the
proposed licensing action. Provided that
the field test data support the
conclusions of the original EA and the
issuance of a FONSI, APHIS does not
intend to issue a separate EA and FONSI
to support the issuance of the product
license, and would determine that an

environmental impact statement need
not be prepared. APHIS intends to issue
a veterinary biological product license
for this vaccine following completion of
the field test provided no adverse
impacts on the human environment are
identified and provided the product
meets all other requirements for
licensing.
Authority: 21 U.S.C. 151–159; 7 CFR 2.22,
2.80, and 371.4.

American people and the farming and
ranching community to conserve and
sustain our natural resources. The
purpose of Long-Term Contracting
information collection is to provide for
programs to extend financial and
technical assistance through easements
and long-term contracts to landowners
and others. These programs provide for
making land use changes and installing
conservation measures and practices to
conserve, develop, and use the soil,
water, and related natural resources on
private lands. For cost-share programs,

assistance is based on a conservation
plan or schedule of operations that is
made a part of an agreement, contract,
or easement for a period of time of no
less than 1 year and no greater than 10
years. Under the terms of the agreement,
the participant agrees to apply, or
arrange to apply, the conservation
treatment specified in the conservation
plan or schedule of operations. In return
for this agreement, Federal cost-share
payments are made to the land user, or
third party, upon successful application
of the conservation treatment. For
easement programs, NRCS purchases
from participants, a conservation
easement and provides for the
easement’s protection and management
for the life of the easement.
The information collected through
this package is used by NRCS to ensure
the proper use of program funds,
including application for participation,
easement acquisition, contract
implementation, conservation planning,
and application for payment.
NRCS will ask for a 3-year OMB
approval, with revision, within 60 days
of submitting the request.
