[Docket No. APHIS–2015–0003]
Availability of an Environmental
Assessment for Field Testing a
Marek’s Disease Vaccine, Serotype 1,
Live Virus
Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service, USDA.
ACTION: Notice of availability.
AGENCY:
We are advising the public
that the Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service has prepared an
environmental assessment concerning
authorization to ship for the purpose of
field testing, and then to field test, an
unlicensed Marek’s disease vaccine,
serotype 1, live virus. The
environmental assessment, which is
based on a risk analysis prepared to
assess the risks associated with the field
testing of this vaccine, examines the
potential effects that field testing this
veterinary vaccine could have on the
quality of the human environment.
Based on the risk analysis and other
relevant data, we have reached a
preliminary determination that field
testing this veterinary vaccine will not
have a significant impact on the quality
of the human environment, and that an
environmental impact statement need
not be prepared. We intend to authorize
shipment of this vaccine for field testing
following the close of the comment
period for this notice unless new
substantial issues bearing on the effects
of this action are brought to our
attention. We also intend to issue a U.S.
Veterinary Biological Product license for
this vaccine, provided the field test data
support the conclusions of the
environmental assessment and the
issuance of a finding of no significant
impact and the product meets all other
requirements for licensing.
DATES: We will consider all comments
that we receive on or before May 14,
2015.
