<![CDATA[
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 156 / Monday, August 14, 2006 / Notices
was transferred to the U.S. HHS, with
the HHS’ NLCP contractor continuing to
have an active role in the performance
testing and laboratory inspection
processes. Other Canadian laboratories
wishing to be considered for the NLCP
may apply directly to the NLCP
contractor just as U.S. laboratories do.
Upon finding a Canadian laboratory to
be qualified, HHS will recommend that
DOT certify the laboratory (Federal
Register, July 16, 1996) as meeting the
minimum standards of the Mandatory
Guidelines published in the Federal
Register on April 13, 2004 (69 FR
19644). After receiving DOT
certification, the laboratory will be
included in the monthly list of HHScertified laboratories and participate in
the NLCP certification maintenance
program.

Director, Office Program Services, SAMHSA.

On July
21, 2006, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service (Service) issued a permit (PRT–
108841) to the Virginia Polytechnic
Institute and State University,
Blacksburg, Virginia, to import
biological samples from wild
chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) in
Tanzania for the purpose of scientific
research. This action was authorized
under Section 10(c) of the Endangered
Species Act of 1973, as amended (16
U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). The Service
determined that an emergency affecting
the health and life of the chimpanzees
at the Mahale Mountains National Park
and Rubondo Island National Park in
Tanzania existed and that no reasonable
alternative was available to the
applicant for the following reasons.
Virginia Polytechinic Institute and
State University requested a permit to
import biological samples (bodily
tissues and organs, hair, saliva, and
other body parts) from the forest floor
and from deceased animals found in the
Mahle Mountains National Park in
Kigoma, Tanzania, and Rubondo Island
National Park in Mwanza, Tanzania, for
emergency and ongoing health and
disease evaluation purposes. Samples
will be utilized exclusively for
diagnostic and scientific purposes. The
specimens will be used to run
diagnostics tests to determine the cause
of death. The necessary diagnostic
testing is not available in Africa. The
results of health and disease testing
from these chimpanzees will help
determine why the animals died in
order to develop interventions to help
prevent reoccurrence.
