standards are technical standards (e.g.,
materials specifications, test methods,
sampling procedures, and business
practices) that are developed or adopted
by voluntary consensus standards
bodies. The NTTAA directs EPA to
provide Congress, through OMB,
explanations when the Agency decides
not to use available and applicable
voluntary consensus standards.
2. Does the National Technology
Transfer and Advancement Act apply to
this proposed rule?
No. This proposed rulemaking does
not involve technical standards.
Therefore, EPA did not consider the use
of any voluntary consensus standards.
2. Does Executive Order 12898 apply to
this rule?
EPA has determined that this
proposed rule will not have
disproportionately high and adverse
human health or environmental effects
on minority or low-income populations
because it does not affect the level of
protection provided to human health or
the environment. As this rule does not
impose any enforceable duty upon
State, tribal, or local governments, this
rule will neither increase nor decrease
environmental protection.

SUMMARY:
Executive Order (EO) 12898 (59 FR
7629 (Feb. 16, 1994)) establishes federal
executive policy on environmental
justice. Its main provision directs
federal agencies, to the greatest extent
practicable and permitted by law, to
make environmental justice part of their
mission by identifying and addressing,
as appropriate, disproportionately high
and adverse human health or
environmental effects of their programs,
policies, and activities on minority
populations and low-income
populations in the United States.

On
January 5, 2011 HHS/CDC published a
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM)
in the Federal Register (76 FR 678)
proposing to amend its regulations (42
CFR 71.53) for the imporation of live
nonhuman primates (NHPs) by
extending existing requirements for the
importation of Macaca fascicularis
(cyanmologus), Chlororcebus aethlops
(African green) and Macaca mulatta
(rhesus) monkeys to all NHPs. Filovirus
testing would continue to be required
only for Old World NHPs. In the NPRM,
HHS/CDC also proposed to reduce the
frequency at which importers of
cynomolgus, African green, and rhesus
monkeys are required to renew their
registrations, from every 180 days to
every two years. HHS/CDC proposed to
incorporate existing guidelines into the
regulations and add new provisions to
address: (1) NHPs imported as part of a
trained animal act; (2) NHPs imported
or transferred by zoological societies; (3)
The transfer of NHPs from approved
laboratories; and (4) Non-live imported
NHP products. Finally, HHS/CDC
proposed that all NHPs be imported
only through ports of entry where a CDC
quarantine station is located. HHS/CDC
provided a 60 day public comment
period. Written comments were to be
received on or before March 7, 2011. We
have received a request asking for a 45
day extension of the comment period. In
consideration of that request, HHS/CDC
is extending the comment period by 45
days to April 25, 2011.
HHS/CDC’s general policy for
comments and other submissions from
members of the public is to make these
submissions available for public
viewing on the Internet as they are
received and without change, including

We, the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (Service), under the
authority of the Endangered Species Act
of 1973, as amended (Act), announce
the initiation of a status review for the
longfin smelt (Spirinchus thaleichthys).
To ensure that the status review is
comprehensive, we are requesting
scientific and commercial data and
other information regarding this species.
Based on the status review, we will
issue a 12-month finding, which will
address whether the listing may be
warranted, as provided in section
4(b)(3)(B) of the Act.
DATES: To allow us adequate time to
conduct this review, we request that we
receive information on or before April
11, 2011. After this date, you must
submit information directly to the Field
Office (see FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT section below). Please note that
we may not be able to fully address or
incorporate information that we receive
after the above requested date.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments
by one of the following methods:
• Federal eRulemaking Portal: https://

To ensure the status review is
complete and based on the best
available scientific and commercial
information, we request information on
the longfin smelt. We request any
additional information from
governmental agencies, Native
American Tribes, the scientific
community, industry, and any other
interested parties. We seek information
on:
(1) The species’ biology, range, and
population trends, including:
(a) Habitat requirements for feeding,
breeding, and sheltering;
(b) Genetics and taxonomy;
(c) Historical and current range,
including distribution patterns;
(d) Historical and current population
levels, and current and projected trends;
and
(e) Past and ongoing conservation
measures for the species or its habitat.
(2) The factors that are the basis for
making a listing determination for a
species under section 4(a) of the
Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended (Act; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.),
which are:
(a) The present or threatened
destruction, modification, or
curtailment of its habitat or range;
(b) Overutilization for commercial,
recreational, scientific, or educational
purposes;
(c) Disease or predation;
(d) The inadequacy of existing
regulatory mechanisms; or
(e) Other natural or manmade factors
affecting its continued existence.
(3) The potential effects global climate
change may have on the longfin smelt
or its habitat.
If, after the status review, we
determine that listing the longfin smelt
is warranted, we will propose critical
habitat (see definition in section 3(5)(A)
of the Act), under section 4 of the Act,
to the maximum extent prudent and
determinable at the time we propose to
list the species. Therefore, within the
geographical range currently occupied
by the longfin smelt, we also request
data and information on:
