mangoes regardless of their country of
origin. This determination was based on
evidence presented in a treatment
evaluation document (TED) we made
available with the notice. The treatment
was added to the PPQ Treatment
Manual, but was subject to change based
on public comment.
We solicited comments on the notice
for 60 days ending on June 22, 2015. We
received six comments by that date.
They were from private citizens,
exporters, industry groups, and
representatives of State and foreign
governments. The responses were in
favor of the revised treatment schedule
to extend the applicability of the
treatment to additional mango
commodities. Therefore, in accordance
with the regulations in § 305.3(b)(3), we
are affirming our revision of a hot water
treatment schedule for mango to control
certain pests, as described in the TED
made available with the previous notice.
The treatment schedule is numbered
T102–a. The treatment schedule will be
listed in the PPQ Treatment Manual,
which is available as described in
footnote 1 of this document.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Dairy
Tariff-Rate Import Quota Licensing
Regulation promulgated by the
Department of Agriculture and codified
at 7 CFR 6.20–6.37 provides for the
issuance of licenses to import certain
dairy articles that are subject to TRQs
set forth in the HTS. Those dairy articles
may only be entered into the United
States at the in-quota TRQ tariff-rates by
or for the account of a person or firm to
whom such licenses have been issued
and only in accordance with the terms
and conditions of the regulation.
Licenses are issued on a calendar year
basis, and each license authorizes the
license holder to import a specified
quantity and type of dairy article from
a specified country of origin. The use of
such licenses is monitored by the Dairy
Import Licensing Program, Import
Policies and Export Reporting Division,
Foreign Agricultural Service, U.S.
Department of Agriculture, and the U.S.
Customs and Border Protection, U.S.
Department of Homeland Security.
The regulation at 7 CFR 6.33(a)
provides that a fee will be charged for
each license issued to a person or firm
by the Licensing Authority in order to
defray the Department of Agriculture’s
costs of administering the licensing
system under this regulation.
The regulation at 7 CFR 6.33(a) also
provides that the Licensing Authority
will announce the annual fee for each
license and that such fee will be set out
in a notice to be published in the
Federal Register. Accordingly, this
notice sets out the fee for the licenses to
be issued for the 2016 calendar year.
Notice: The total cost to the
Department of Agriculture of
administering the licensing system for
2016 has been estimated to be
$624,300.00 and the estimated number
of licenses expected to be issued is
2,500. Of the total cost, $479,200.00
represents staff and supervisory costs
directly related to administering the
licensing system, and $145,100.00
represents other miscellaneous costs,
including travel, postage, publications,
forms, and ADP system support.
Accordingly, notice is hereby given
that the fee for each license issued to a
person or firm for the 2016 calendar
year, in accordance with 7 CFR 6.33,
will be $250 per license.
Issued at Washington, DC, the 16th day of

Notice of Availability (NOA) of the
Finding of No Significant Impact
(FONSI) and Final Environmental
Assessment (EA) for the Voluntary
Public Access and Habitat Incentive
Program (VPA–HIP)
Natural Resources
Conservation Service.
ACTION: Notice of availability.
AGENCY:
On April 27, 2015, the
Natural Resources Conservation Service
(NRCS) published an NOA in the
Federal Register announcing the
availability of a draft EA for VPA–HIP
and requesting public comment. The
draft EA was available for a 30-day
public comment period that ended May
27, 2015. The draft EA was prepared to
meet the requirements of the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of
1969 and NRCS implementing
regulations. Brief comments were
received from one State and those
comments expressed no concerns about
the analysis or the effects of the
program. NRCS has determined that
implementing VPA–HIP is not a major
Federal action significantly affecting the
quality of the human environment
within the context of NEPA and,
therefore, an Environmental Impact
Statement will not be prepared.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: A
copy of the final Programmatic EA and
FONSI can be accessed on the Internet
by clicking on the appropriate link at
www.nrcs.usda.gov/ea. Single copies of
the FONSI and Programmatic EA or
additional information may also be

obtained by contacting Ms. Andree
DuVarney, National Environmental
Coordinator, USDA–NRCS, Ecological
Sciences Division, Room 6158–S, P.O.

or by sending a request via email to
andree.duvarney@wdc.usda.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background: VPA–HIP is a
competitive grants program that is
available to State and Tribal
governments. The program is authorized
under the Food, Conservation, and
Energy Act of 2008, as amended (2008
Farm Bill, as amended) (16 U.S.C.
3839bb–5). Regulations at 7 CFR part
1455 govern implementation of VPA–
HIP. The primary objective of VPA–HIP
is to support State and Tribal
