SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
October 20, 2009, we published in the
Federal Register (74 FR 53673–53674) a
notice 1 of intent to prepare a
environmental impact statement (EIS)
for the movement of plant pests,
biological control organisms, and
associated articles. That notice
identified three broad alternatives to
consider in the EIS and requested public
comments to help delineate the scope of
the issues and alternatives to be
analyzed. The 30-day period for scoping
of public comments was extended to
November 19, 2009. We received 14
comments during the scoping period.
On January 23, 2017, the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
published a notice of availability for the
draft EIS in the Federal Register (82 FR
7822). The Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service (APHIS) made the
draft EIS available and invited public
comment through March 20, 2017. Our
responses to the four comments
received in response to the draft EIS are
in an appendix to the final EIS. On June
14, 2019, the EPA published a notice of
availability of the final EIS in the
Federal Register (84 FR 27777). The
review period for the final EIS ended on
July 15, 2019.
The National Environmental Policy
Act (NEPA) implementing regulations in
40 CFR 1506.10 require a minimum 30day waiting period between the time a
final EIS is published and the time an
agency makes a decision on an action
covered by the EIS. We did not receive
any comments during the 30-day
waiting period. APHIS has reviewed the
final EIS and concluded that it fully
analyzes the issues covered by the draft
EIS and addresses the comments and
suggestions submitted by commenters.

This notice advises the public that the
waiting period has elapsed, and APHIS
has issued a record of decision (ROD) to
implement the preferred alternative
described in the final EIS.
The ROD has been prepared in
accordance with: (1) 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).
