sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES
Aulacidea acroptilonica is a small
gall-forming wasp that has been
demonstrated through specificity testing
and field observations reported in
scientific literature to attack only
Russian knapweed. Gall induction
diverts nutrients from flower formation,
seed production, and the normal growth
of plant tissues, thus reducing the
plant’s competitive ability and seed
production.
APHIS’ review and analysis of the
potential environmental impacts
associated with the use of Aulacidea
acroptilonica as an agent for the
biological control of Russian knapweed
are documented in detail in an
environmental assessment entitled
‘‘Field Release of Aulacidea
acroptilonica (Hymenoptera:
Cynipidae), an Insect for Biological
Control of Russian Knapweed
(Acroptilon repens) in the Continental
United States’’ (January 22, 2008). We
are making this environmental
assessment available to the public for
review and comment. We will consider
all comments that we receive on or
before the date listed under the heading
DATES at the beginning of this notice.
The environmental assessment may
be viewed on the Regulations.gov Web
site or in our reading room (see
ADDRESSES above for instructions for
accessing Regulations.gov and
information on the location and hours of
the reading room). You may request
paper copies of the environmental
assessment by calling or writing to the
person listed under FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT. Please refer to the
title of the environmental assessment
when requesting copies.
The environmental assessment 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 provisions
of NEPA (40 CFR parts 1500–1508), (3)
USDA regulations implementing NEPA
(7 CFR part 1), and (4) APHIS’ NEPA
Implementing Procedures (7 CFR part
372).
Done in Washington, DC, this 18th day of
April 2008.
