ACTION: Notice of availability.
AGENCY:
We are advising the public
that we have prepared a final
environmental assessment and finding
of no significant impact relative to the
release of Ceratapion basicorne for the
biological control of yellow starthistle,
Centaurea solstitialis (Asteraceae), in
the continental United States. Based on
our finding of no significant impact, we
have determined that an environmental
impact statement need not be prepared.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Yellow
starthistle is a highly invasive weed that
has become one of California’s worst
pests since its introduction prior to
1860. Since then, it has been reported in
41 of the 48 contiguous U.S. States, with
the heaviest infestations in the States of
California, Idaho, Oregon, and
Washington. Yellow starthistle infests
grassland habitats and displaces
desirable plants in both natural and
grazing areas. Its flowers have inch-long
spines that deter feeding by and cause
injury to grazing animals and lower the
utility of recreational lands.
On March 10, 2009, we published in
the Federal Register (74 FR 10224–
10225, Docket No. APHIS–2008–0142) a
notice 1 in which we announced the
availability, for public review and
comment, of an environmental
assessment (EA) that examined the
potential environmental impacts
