356043 soybean; and (10) when
considered in light of other past,
present, and reasonably foreseeable
future actions, and considering potential
environmental effects associated with
adoption of 356043 soybean, APHIS
could not identify significant
environmental impacts that would
result from granting nonregulated status
to 356043 soybean.
National Environmental Policy Act
To provide the public with
documentation of APHIS’ review and
analysis of any potential environmental
impacts associated with the
determination of nonregulated status for
356043 soybeans, an EA was prepared.
The EA was 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 1b),
and (4) APHIS’ NEPA Implementing
Procedures (7 CFR part 372). Based on
that EA and other pertinent scientific
data, APHIS has reached a finding of no
significant impact with regard to the
determination that Pioneer 356043
soybean line and lines developed from
it are no longer regulated articles under
its regulations in 7 CFR part 340. Copies
of the EA and finding of no significant
impact are available as indicated in the
ADDRESSES and FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT sections of this
notice.
Authority: 7 U.S.C. 7701–7772 and 7781–

The Commodity Credit Corporation
(CCC) administers AMA under the
general supervision of the Chief of the
Natural Resources Conservation Service
(NRCS), who is one of the vice
presidents of CCC.
CCC announces the availability of an
additional $2.5 million of technical and
financial assistance funds in fiscal year

is available to States which have
historically low participation in the
Federal crop insurance program. These
States are: Connecticut, Delaware,
Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts,
Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey,
New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island,
Utah, Vermont, West Virginia,
Wyoming, and Hawaii. Under AMA, a
participant may use financial assistance
to adopt conservation practices that will
reduce or mitigate risks to their
agricultural enterprises.
AMA is authorized by Section 524(b)
of the Federal Crop Insurance Act (7
U.S.C. 1524(b)), and administered under
regulations found at 7 CFR part 1465.
NRCS will, at a later date, formally

hereby announces the availability of up
to $2.5 million in FY 2008 to provide
technical and financial assistance to
producers under AMA. AMA assistance

AMA, reduce soil erosion, improve
watershed management or irrigation
structures, utilize integrated pest
management principles, and assist
producers in transitioning to organicbased farming.
AMA was established in 2000. Since
that time, AMA has been made available
to 15 States, listed in statutory
authority, in which participation in the
Federal crop insurance program has
been historically low. The 15 States
include: Connecticut, Delaware, Maine,
Maryland, Massachusetts, Nevada, New
Hampshire, New Jersey, New York,

ACTION: Notice of Proposed New Fee

AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Superior National Forest
is planning to charge fees at fifteen
camping areas. Fees are assessed based
on the level of amenities and services
provided, cost of operation and
maintenance, market assessment, and
public comment. The fees listed are
only proposed and will be determined
upon further analysis and public
comment. Funds from fees would be
used for the continued operation and
maintenance of these recreation sites.
The following fifteen camping areas
(all currently free use sites) are being
proposed as fee sites: Baker Lake,
Toohey Lake, Fourmile Lake, Hogback
Lake, Kawishiwi Lake, Section 29 Lake,
Silver Island Lake, White Pine Lake,
Wilson Lake, Poplar River, Whitefish
Lake, Harriet, Clara Lake, Cascade River
and Eighteen Lake. These camping areas
have many of the same amenities
offered at the more developed
campgrounds on the Superior National
Forest and will be priced in accordance
to the amenities provided at that site. A
financial analysis is being completed to
determine fee rates. The proposed fee to
help maintain this site would be
approximately $8 per campsite per
night, and $4.00 per one additional
vehicle per campsite. The fee season for
these camping areas would start in early
to mid May coinciding with the fishing
season opener and would continue to
the end of the field season in late
