Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 3 / Tuesday, January 6, 2009 / Notices
against the introduction into and
dissemination within the United States
of plant and animal pests and diseases.
On March 13, 2008, we published in
the Federal Register (73 FR 13525,
Docket No. APHIS–2007–0070) a notice
in which we announced the availability,
for public review and comment, of a
regional programmatic environmental
assessment relative to the interstate
movement of municipal solid waste
from Hawaii to landfills in the States of
Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. On
June 18, 2008 (73 FR 34700–34701,
Docket No. APHIS–2007–0070), we
published a followup notice in which
we announced the availability of our
final regional programmatic
environmental assessment and finding
of no significant impact.
In our March 2008 notice, we stated
that as new requests to move municipal
solid waste from Hawaii are received, a
specific environmental analysis will be
prepared relative to each request to
determine whether the request is
consistent with the environmental
effects and impacts analyzed in our
regional programmatic environmental
assessment. We also stated that the
specific environmental analyses
prepared for each new request to move
municipal solid waste will be made
available for a 30-day public comment
period, after which APHIS will
announce its environmental and pest
risk decision regarding the new
municipal solid waste movement
proposal.
In accordance with the process
described in our March 2008 notice, on
July 31, 2008, we published in the
Federal Register (73 FR 44702–44703,
Docket No. APHIS–2008–0062) a
notice 1 in which we announced the
availability, for public review and
comment, of a site-specific
environmental assessment, titled ‘‘Site
Specific Environmental Assessment for
Off Island Transfer Proposal to
Transport Municipal Solid Waste from
Hawaii to Columbia Ridge Landfill,’’
and the accompanying pest risk
assessment, titled ‘‘The Risk of
Introducing Pests to Gilliam County,
Oregon via Hawaiian Plastic-Baled
Municipal Solid Waste’’ (June 2008).
We solicited comments on the
environmental assessment and the pest
risk assessment for 30 days ending
September 2, 2008. We received six
comments by that date. In response to
these comments, we have prepared a
comment summary and response
1 To view the notice, the site-specific
environmental assessment, the pest risk assessment,
and the finding of no significant impact, go to

document that is available for review on
the Regulations.gov Web site (see
footnote 1). No changes to the
environmental assessment or pest risk
assessment were determined to be
necessary in response to these
comments.
In this document, we are advising the
public of our pest risk decision and
finding of no significant impact
regarding the interstate movement of
garbage from Hawaii to a landfill in the
State of Oregon. This decision is based
upon the site-specific environmental
assessment, titled ‘‘Site Specific
Environmental Assessment for Off
Island Transfer Proposal to Transport
Municipal Solid Waste from Hawaii to
Columbia Ridge Landfill,’’ and the
accompanying pest risk assessment,
titled ‘‘The Risk of Introducing Pests to
Gilliam County, Oregon via Hawaiian
Plastic-Baled Municipal Solid Waste’’
(June 2008).
The site-specific environmental
assessment, pest risk assessment, and
finding of no significant impact may be
viewed on the Regulations.gov Web site
(see footnote 1). Copies of the sitespecific environmental assessment, pest
risk assessment, and finding of no
significant impact are also available for
public inspection at USDA, room 1141,
