Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 49 / Monday, March 15, 2010 / Notices
Although LBAM was first detected in
the late 1800s in Hawaii, it is present
only at elevations of 1,394 feet or above
in the State. Because most agricultural
production in Hawaii occurs in the
coastal regions, at elevations below
1,394 feet, LBAM has not been
considered a pest of concern within the
State. However, the interstate movement
from Hawaii of cut flowers, fruits and
vegetables, plants, and portions of
plants, including LBAM host material,
is currently prohibited unless the
articles are first inspected and found
free of plant pests (including LBAM) or
are treated for plant pests.
Moths suspected of being LBAM were
detected in Alameda and Contra Costa
Counties, CA, in February 2007, and
were subsequently confirmed as LBAM
on March 16, 2007. Due to California’s
cooler climate and the potential impact
of LBAM on a wide range of crops, an
aggressive response program has been
conducted by the State of California
with support from the Animal and Plant
Health Inspection Service (APHIS) of
the United States Department of
Agriculture.
On September 12, 2008, and February
4, 2009, petitions were submitted to the
Secretary of Agriculture requesting that
APHIS reclassify LBAM from an
actionable, quarantine-significant pest
to a non-actionable, non-quarantine pest
and that APHIS relieve the Federal
restrictions placed on the interstate
movement of LBAM host articles from
areas where the pest had been detected.
The petitions also questioned APHIS’
ability to eradicate LBAM, the
appropriateness of technologies used to
support an eradication program, the
potential impacts of these technologies
on the environment and to human
health and safety, and the effectiveness
of the communication strategies used to
inform the public about the LBAM
program.
This document announces the
availability of our draft response to
those petitions, titled ‘‘APHIS Draft
Response to Petitions for the
Reclassification of Light Brown Apple
Moth [Epiphyas postvittana (Walker)] as
a Non-Quarantine Pest.’’ For the sake of
clarity, the discussion in our response
focused on the petitioners’ request to
reclassify LBAM. Questions raised by
the petitions regarding regulatory and
other actions are distinctly different
discussions and are addressed
separately in an accompanying
document that provides additional
information on the LBAM program in a
frequently asked questions (FAQ)
format.
The text of the petitions, APHIS’ draft
petition response, and FAQ may be

response and FAQ may also be viewed
on the APHIS Web site at (https://

You may request paper copies of the
documents by calling or writing to the

INFORMATION CONTACT. Please refer to the
title of the documents when requesting
copies. The documents are also
available for review in our reading room
(information on the location and hours
of the reading room is listed under the
heading ADDRESSES at the beginning of
this notice).
After evaluating public comments we
receive during the comment period (see
DATES at the beginning of this notice),
APHIS will determine whether or not to
continue Federal enforcement of
mandatory phytosanitary domestic
quarantine regulations and the
application of mandatory procedures for
the official control of LBAM. We will
then publish a document in the Federal
Register announcing our determination.
Done in Washington, DC, this 9th day
of March 2010.

Acting Administrator, Animal and Plant
Health Inspection Service.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
Age Search is a service provided by
the U.S. Census Bureau for persons who
need official transcripts of personal data
as proof of age for pensions, retirement
plans, Medicare, and social security.
The transcripts are also used as proof of
citizenship to obtain passports or to
provide evidence of family relationship
for rights of inheritance. The Age Search
forms are used by the public in order to
provide the Census Bureau with the
necessary information to conduct a
search of historical population
decennial census records in order to
provide the requested transcript. The
Age Search service is self-supporting
and is funded by the fees collected from
the individuals requesting the service.
II. Method of Collection
The Form BC–600, Application for
Search of Census Records, is a public
use form that is submitted by applicants
requesting information from the
decennial census records. Applicants
are requested to enclose appropriate fee
by check or money order with the
completed and signed Form BC–600 and
return by mail to the U.S. Census
Bureau, Personal Census Search Unit, in
Jeffersonville, Indiana. The BC–600 (SP)
is a Spanish version of the BC–600. The
Form BC–649(L), which is called a ‘‘Not
Found’’, advises the applicant that
search for information from the census
records was unsuccessful. The BC–
658(L), is sent to the applicant when
insufficient information has been
received on which to base a search of
the census records. These two forms
request additional information from the
applicant to aid in the search of census
records.
III. Data

Form Number: BC–600, BC–600 (SP),
