Download as PDF 4868 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 20 / Thursday, January 30, 2014 / Notices impact (FONSI) for this action. The FONSI, which is based on the environmental assessment (EA) prepared for the rulemaking that led to our July 2013 final rule, documents our conclusion that the importation of kumquats from Uruguay under the conditions prescribed in our July 2013 final rule, including treatment in accordance with the PPQ Treatment Manual, will not have a significant impact on the quality of the human environment. The EA and FONSI were 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 Implementing Procedures (7 CFR part 372). After reviewing the comments we receive, we will announce our decision regarding the new treatment schedule that is described in the TED in a subsequent notice, in accordance with paragraph (b)(3) of § 305.3. If we do not receive any comments, or the comments we receive do not change our determination that the treatment is effective, we will affirm the treatment schedule’s addition to the PPQ Treatment Manual and make available a new version of the PPQ Treatment Manual in which T101-n-3 is listed in the main body of the manual. If we receive comments that lead us to determine that T101-n-3 needs to be changed or removed, we will make available a new version of the PPQ Treatment Manual that reflects the changes to or the removal of treatment schedule T101-n-3. Authority: 7 U.S.C. 7701–7772 and 7781– 7786; 21 U.S.C. 136 and 136a; 7 CFR 2.22, 2.80, and 371.3. Done in Washington, DC, this 23rd day of January 2014.
