Download as PDF tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 180 / Thursday, September 17, 2015 / Notices notice 1 in which we announced the availability, for public review and comment, of a supplement to 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. In addition, the supplement analyzed the geographic shift of the field trial zone in Ohio and an increase in bait distribution density in portions of West Virginia. We solicited comments on the EA for 30 days ending August 17, 2015. We received one comment by that date, which supported the oral rabies vaccination program. 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 ONRAB wildlife rabies vaccine in New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Vermont, and West Virginia, including portions of U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service National Forest System lands, but excluding Wilderness Areas. The finding, which is based on the EA, the 2013 supplement to the EA, and the 2015 supplement to 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 2015 supplement to the EA and the FONSI may be viewed on the APHIS Web site at https://www.aphis.usda.gov/ wildlifedamage/nepa and on the Regulations.gov Web site (see footnote 1). Copies of the 2015 supplement to the EA and the FONSI are also available for public inspection at USDA, room 1141, South Building, 14th Street and Independence Avenue SW., Washington, DC, between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, except holidays. Persons wishing to inspect copies are requested to call ahead on (202) 799–7039 to facilitate entry into the reading room. In addition, copies may be obtained as described under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. The 2015 supplement to the EA and the FONSI have been 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 1 To view the notice, the EA, and the FONSI, go to https://www.regulations.gov/ #!docketDetail;D=APHIS–2015–0047.
