System lands. Many BMPs are available
for use and can be tailored to
accommodate site-specific conditions. A
monitoring protocol for this project will
be included in the project
implementation plan.
Wildlife and Fisheries: A biological
assessment/evaluation of all threatened,
endangered, and sensitive wildlife and
fish species that potentially occur in the
project would be drafted to provide an
assessment of the impacts of the
proposed action. The best management
practices above will minimize or
eliminate the exposure of wildlife and
fisheries to pesticides. The primary
effect on federally listed or Forest
Service sensitive species will be the
physical presence to work crews in
occupied habitat. The following
resource protection measures would be
carried out during project
implementation to protect federally
listed and R5 Forest Service sensitive
species:
• To avoid trampling of arroyo toads
and California red-legged frogs, a
qualified biologist would conduct a
training session for all project personnel
prior to conducting the proposed action
in habitat for arroyo toads and
California red-legged frogs. At a
minimum, the training would include a
description of the arroyo toad and its
habitat, the general provisions of the
Endangered Species Act; the necessity
for adhering to the provisions of the Act;
the penalties associated with violating
the provisions of the Act; the general
measures that are being implemented to
conserve the listed species as they relate
to the project; and the access routes to
and from project site boundaries within
which the treatments may be
accomplished.
• In arroyo toad and California redlegged frog habitat, all routes to
treatment sites would be identified by a
qualified biologist and used repeatedly
by workers to minimize trampling of
arroyo toads and vegetation.
• Applicators would avoid walking or
stepping in water, to the maximum
extent possible. They would also avoid
spilling herbicide on footwear and
clothing to prevent inadvertent
contamination if contact with water
occurs.
• All access routes and treatment
sites within arroyo toad and California
red-legged frog habitat would be
thoroughly searched for the presence of
arroyo toads and California red-legged
frog by a qualified biologist, prior to the
onset of project activities at each site.
This should occur within two weeks of
work commencement.
• Arroyo toads and California redlegged frog found within the treatment
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 226001
sites shall be carefully moved outside
the immediate work area and released
by a qualified biologist permitted by
USFWS to handle these species.
Animals found within access routes
may be moved to appropriate habitat if
their avoidance is not practicable. If
project activities cease for more than
three days within any one treatment
site, access routes and treatment areas
would be searched again for arroyo
toads and California red-legged frog
prior to the start of the day’s work.
Information that includes the date, time
of capture, specific location of capture,
approximate size, age and health of the
individual would be recorded.
• Treatments will be conducted
during low stream flow or no stream
flow periods of the year to avoid
potential impacts to steelhead trout or
their spawning redds during the late fall
to early winter months.
• If workers encounter aquatic
wildlife species other than arroyo toads
and California red-legged frog during
project implementation they will allow
the animal(s) to flee to safe areas out of
the work sites or physically move the
animals to safe locations.
Sensitive Plants: A biological
assessment/evaluation of all threatened,
endangered, and sensitive plant species
that potentially occur in the project
would be drafted to provide an
assessment of the impacts of the
proposed action. Best Management
practices above and the highly targeted
application methods being used in this
project will minimize the exposure of
Forest Service sensitive plant species to
herbicide.
Noxious Weeds: Require cleaning of
any tools carried into or out of the
project area to reduce the risk of
noxious weed spread.
Heritage Resources: Areas requiring
flagging and avoidance would be
identified by a qualified heritage
resources manager to the project planner
prior to any implementation of project
work.
Possible Alternatives
A full range of alternatives will be
considered including action and noaction. Alternatives responding to issues
generated during the scoping process
and interdisciplinary team project
development will also be developed and
considered. All alternatives will comply
with the Los Padres National Forest
Land Management Plan.
Responsible Official
Peggy Hernandez, Forest Supervisor,
Los Padres National Forest, Goleta
California, is the responsible official for
the EIS and its Record of Decision. As
PO 00000
Frm 00005
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
the Responsible Official, the Forest
Supervisor will document the decision
and reason for the decision in the
Record of Decision. The decision will be
subject to Forest Service Appeals
Regulations (36 CFR part 215).
Nature of Decision to be Made
The Responsible Official will make a
decision considering the following:
1. Whether the proposed action will
proceed as proposed, with
modifications, or not at all.
2. What associated mitigation
measures and monitoring requirements
will be required.
Preliminary Issues
Preliminary issues identified include
the following:
1. Hand removal is not controlling the
current infestations of Tamarisk and
herbicides are needed.
2. Use of herbicides and the need to
protect water quality and public safety.
3. Presence of listed threatened and
endangered species, their habitat, and/
or mapped critical habitat.
Scoping Process
This notice of intent initiates the
scoping process, which guides the
development of the environmental
impact statement.
The Forest Supervisor is seeking
public and agency comment on the
proposed action to identify issues that
arise from the proposed action. The
issues may lead to other alternatives, or
additional mitigation measure and
monitoring requirements. In addition to
this notice, public scoping letters will
be mailed to interested parties.
It is important that reviewers provide
their comments at such times and in
such a way they are useful to the
Agency’s preparation of the
environmental impact statement. The
submission of timely and specific
comments can affect a reviewer’s ability
to participate in subsequent
administrative appeal of judicial review.
Dated: February 1, 2012.

Forest Supervisor.

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
Title: Seafood Inspection and
Certification Requirements.
OMB Control Number: 0648–0266.
Form Number(s): 89–800, 89–814, 89–

Type of Request: Regular submission
(extension of a current information
collection).
Number of Respondents: 3,339.
Average Hours per Response:
Application for inspection, application
for appeal of previous inspection results
and contract completion or amendment,
5 minutes each; label and specification
submission, 30 minutes; HACCP plan,
60 hours; recordkeeping requirements
related to an existing plan, 40 hours.
Burden Hours: 8,139.
Needs and Uses: The National Marine
Fisheries Service (NMFS) operates a
voluntary fee-for-service seafood
inspection program (Program) under the
authorities of the Agricultural Marketing
Act of 1946, as amended, the Fish and
Wildlife Act of 1956, and the
Reorganization Plan No. 4 of 1970. The
regulations for the Program are
contained in 50 CFR part 260. The
program offers inspection grading and
certification services, including the use
of official quality grade marks which
indicate that specific products have
been Federally inspected. Those
wishing to participate in the Program
must request the services and submit
specific compliance information. In July
1992, NMFS announced new inspection
services, which were fully based on
guidelines recommended by the
National Academy of Sciences, known
as Hazard Analysis Critical Control
Point (HACCP). The information
collection requirements fall under
§ 260.15 of the regulations. These
guidelines required that a facility’s
quality control system have a written
plan of the operation, identification of
control points with acceptance criteria
and a corrective action plan, as well as
identified personnel responsible for
oversight of the system. The chapter
entitled ‘‘Development, Assessment,
Approval, and Continuing Compliance
Evaluation of HACCP-based Inspection
Systems,’’ from the NMFS Fishery
Products Inspection Manual, describes
in detail the requirements for
participants choosing to receive NMFS
HACCP-based inspection services.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations.
Frequency: On occasion.
Respondent’s Obligation: Required to
