SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Advance Notice and Public Comment
Procedures
Section 4103 of the John D. Dingell,
Jr. Conservation, Management, and
Recreation Act (Pub. L. 116–9) requires
PO 00000
Frm 00005
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
that the Secretary of Agriculture, acting
through the Chief of the Forest Service,
provide public notice and comment
before permanently or temporarily
closing any National Forest System land
to hunting, fishing, or recreational
shooting. Section 4103 applies to the
proposed forest order closing the Mark
Twain National Forest to hunting of
feral swine by the public. The public
notice and comment process in section
4103(b)(2) requires the Secretary to
publish a notice of intent, in the Federal
Register, of the proposed closure in
advance of the public comment period
for the closure. This notice meets the
requirement to publish a notice of intent
in the Federal Register in advance of
the public comment period.
Following the notice of intent, section
4103(b)(2) requires an opportunity for
public comment. Because the proposed
forest order would permanently close
the Mark Twain National Forest to
hunting of feral swine, the comment
period must be not less than 60 days.
Beginning on May 24, 2019, the Forest
Service will solicit comments on the
proposed forest order for 60 days. The
solicitation for public comment will be
posted on https://www.fs.usda.gov/goto/
mtnf/feralswine.
Section 4103(b)(2) requires the
Secretary to respond to the comments
received on the proposed forest order,
explain how the Secretary resolved any
significant issues raised by the
comments, and show how the resolution
led to the closure. The Forest Service
will respond to comments on the
proposed forest order closing the Mark
Twain National Forest to hunting of
feral swine by revising its justification
for the forest order, as needed, and
posting the revised justification on
https://www.fs.usda.gov/goto/mtnf/
feralswine.
II. Background and Need for Forest
Order
Feral swine are a harmful and
destructive invasive species that are
well established in 47 Missouri
counties, the majority of which fall
within the Mark Twain National Forest.
The Mark Twain National Forest has
approximately 1.4 million acres that are
threatened by feral swine. Feral swine
are highly adaptable animals and
prolific breeders. They are social
animals that travel together in large
groups called sounders and have a home
range of about 1,000 acres.
The hunting of feral swine on the
Mark Twain National Forest interferes
with collaborative interagency efforts to
eliminate feral swine in Missouri.
Government trappers employed in these
efforts identify home ranges and find
E:\FR\FM\17MYN1.SGM
17MYN1
Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 96 / Friday, May 17, 2019 / Notices
the best spot in that range to catch the
entire sounder all at the same time.
Shooting at one or two swine or
pursuing them with dogs will cause the
sounder (the entire group) to scatter,
which makes trapping the sounder all at
the same time more difficult.
The Mark Twain National Forest
Supervisor is proposing to issue a forest
order prohibiting the hunting of feral
swine on the Forest. Issuance of the
forest order would respond to a request
from the Missouri Department of
Conservation (MDC) to make policies
consistent across all lands in Missouri
to halt the spread and resulting
environmental damage caused by feral
swine. The State of Missouri feral swine
eradication program bans all taking,
pursuing or releasing of feral swine on
lands owned, leased, or managed by the
state. The proposed closure order would
align the management of National Forest
System lands with the eradication
efforts of MDC and other federal
agencies, including USDA Animal and
Plant Health Inspection Service. The
proposed forest order and the
justification for the forest order are
available on the Forest Service websites
https://www.fs.usda.gov/goto/mtnf/

Outagamie County. A notification of
proposed production activity has been
submitted and is being processed under
15 CFR 400.37 (Doc. B–26–2019). The
proposed subzone would be subject to
the existing activation limit of FTZ 167.
In accordance with the FTZ Board’s
regulations, Elizabeth Whiteman of the
FTZ Staff is designated examiner to
review the application and make
recommendations to the Executive
Secretary.
Public comment is invited from
interested parties. Submissions shall be
addressed to the FTZ Board’s Executive
Secretary and sent to: ftz@trade.gov. The
closing period for their receipt is June
26, 2019. Rebuttal comments in
response to material submitted during
the foregoing period may be submitted
during the subsequent 15-day period to
July 11, 2019.
A copy of the application will be
available for public inspection in the
‘‘Reading Room’’ section of the FTZ
Board’s website, which is accessible via

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Advance Notice and Public Comment Procedures
Section 4103 of the John D. Dingell, Jr. Conservation, Management,
and Recreation Act (Pub. L. 116-9) requires that the Secretary of
Agriculture, acting through the Chief of the Forest Service, provide
public notice and comment before permanently or temporarily closing any
National Forest System land to hunting, fishing, or recreational
shooting. Section 4103 applies to the proposed forest order closing the
Mark Twain National Forest to hunting of feral swine by the public. The
public notice and comment process in section 4103(b)(2) requires the
Secretary to publish a notice of intent, in the Federal Register, of
the proposed closure in advance of the public comment period for the
closure. This notice meets the requirement to publish a notice of
intent in the Federal Register in advance of the public comment period.
Following the notice of intent, section 4103(b)(2) requires an
opportunity for public comment. Because the proposed forest order would
permanently close the Mark Twain National Forest to hunting of feral
swine, the comment period must be not less than 60 days. Beginning on
May 24, 2019, the Forest Service will solicit comments on the proposed
forest order for 60 days. The solicitation for public comment will be
posted on https://www.fs.usda.gov/goto/mtnf/feralswine.
Section 4103(b)(2) requires the Secretary to respond to the
comments received on the proposed forest order, explain how the
Secretary resolved any significant issues raised by the comments, and
show how the resolution led to the closure. The Forest Service will
respond to comments on the proposed forest order closing the Mark Twain
National Forest to hunting of feral swine by revising its justification
for the forest order, as needed, and posting the revised justification
on https://www.fs.usda.gov/goto/mtnf/feralswine.
