Availability of an Environmental
Assessment and Finding of No
Significant Impact for a Biological
Control Agent for Air Potato
Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service, USDA.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
We are advising the public
that an environmental assessment and
finding of no significant impact have
been prepared by the Animal and Plant
Health Inspection Service relative to the
control of air potato (Dioscorea
bulbifera). Based on its finding of no
significant impact, the Animal and Plant
Health Inspection Service has
determined that an environmental
impact statement need not be prepared.

Shirley Wager-Page, Chief, Pest

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
Background
The Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service (APHIS) is proposing
to issue permits for the release of an
insect, Lilioceris cheni, into the
continental United States for use as a
biological control agent to reduce the
severity of air potato (Dioscorea
bulbifera) infestations.
On January 19, 2011, we published in
the Federal Register (76 FR 3076–3077,
Docket No. APHIS–2010–0115) a
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:11 Mar 21, 2011
Jkt 223001
notice 1 in which we announced the
availability, for public review and
comment, of an environmental
assessment (EA) that examined the
potential environmental impacts
associated with the proposed release of
this biological control agent into the
continental United States.
We solicited comments on the EA for
30 days ending February 18, 2011. We
received one comment by that date,
from a State agricultural agency. The
commenter, who supported the
proposed release, asked whether, when
the shipments of L. cheni were
imported, the identity of the specimens
was confirmed and if voucher
specimens had been established. The
commenter was concerned that the
validity of the host specificity testing
would be called into question if the
identity of the specimens was not firmly
established. We have notified the
commenter that the identity of the
specimens was confirmed at the time of
their importation and that voucher
specimens have been set aside.
In this document, we are advising the
public of our finding of no significant
impact (FONSI) regarding the release of
L. cheni, into the continental United
States for use as a biological control
agent to reduce the severity of air potato
(Dioscorea bulbifera) infestations. The
finding, which is based on the EA,
reflects our determination that release of
this biological control agent will not
have a significant impact on the quality
of the human environment.
The EA and FONSI may be viewed on
the Regulations.gov Web site (see
footnote 1). Copies of the EA and FONSI
are also available for public inspection
at USDA, room 1141, South Building,
14th Street and Independence Avenue,
SW., Washington, DC, between 8 a.m.
and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday,
except holidays. Persons wishing to
inspect copies are requested to call
ahead on (202) 690–2817 to facilitate
entry into the reading room. In addition,
copies may be obtained by calling or
writing to the individual listed under
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
The EA and FONSI have 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 1b), and (4) APHIS’ NEPA
