We are advising the public
that the Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service has prepared an
environmental assessment and finding
of no significant impact relative to an
oral rabies vaccination field trial in New

of no significant impact, the Animal and
Plant Health Inspection Service has
determined that an environmental
impact statement need not be prepared.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
Background
The Wildlife Services (WS) program
in the Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service (APHIS) cooperates
with Federal agencies, State and local
governments, and private individuals to
research and implement the best
methods of managing conflicts between
wildlife and human health and safety,
agriculture, property, and natural
resources. Wildlife-borne diseases that
can affect domestic animals and humans
are among the types of conflicts that
APHIS–WS addresses. Wildlife is the
PO 00000
Frm 00001
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
dominant reservoir of rabies in the
United States.
On July 9, 2012, we published in the
Federal Register (77 FR 40322–40323,
Docket No. APHIS–2012–0052) a
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 field trial
to test the safety and efficacy of an
experimental oral rabies vaccine for
wildlife in New Hampshire, New York,
Ohio, Vermont, and West Virginia.
We solicited comments on the EA for
30 days ending August 8, 2012. We
received nine comments by that date.
They were from private citizens
(including five comments from the same
individual), a foreign government, a
Federal agency, and a State department
of health. Three commenters expressed
support for the proposed field trial. One
commenter indicated we should prepare
an environmental impact statement
rather than an EA for this action but did
not provide a reason for doing so. Other
issues raised by commenters include
concerns regarding possible effects on
public health and whether the field trial
is necessary. The comments, and
APHIS’ responses to the comments, are
presented in an appendix to the EA (see
footnote 1).
In this document, we are advising the
public of our finding of no significant
impact (FONSI) regarding the
implementation of a field trial to test the
safety and efficacy of the AdRG1.3
wildlife rabies vaccine in New
Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Vermont,
and West Virginia, including portions of
U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)
Forest Service National Forest System
lands, but excluding Wilderness Areas.
The finding, which is based on the EA,
reflects our determination that the
distribution of this experimental
wildlife rabies vaccine will not have a
significant impact on the quality of the
human environment.
The EA and FONSI may be viewed on
the APHIS Web site at https://www.
aphis.usda.gov/regulations/ws/ws_
nepa_environmental_documents.shtml
and on the Regulations.gov Web site
(see footnote 1). Copies of the EA and
