Download as PDF 52902 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 167 / Tuesday, August 30, 2022 / Notices khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES or in our reading room (see ADDRESSES above for a link to Regulations.gov and information on the location and hours of the reading room). You may request paper copies of the EA by calling or writing to the person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. Please refer to the title of the EA when requesting copies. The EA has 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 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). Unless substantial issues with adverse environmental impacts are raised in response to this notice, APHIS intends to issue a finding of no significant impact (FONSI) based on the EA and authorize shipment of the above product for the initiation of field tests following the close of the comment period for this notice. Because the issues raised by field testing and by issuance of a license are identical, APHIS has concluded that the EA that is generated for field testing would also be applicable to the proposed licensing action. Provided that the field test data support the conclusions of the original EA and the issuance of a FONSI, APHIS does not intend to issue a separate EA and FONSI to support the issuance of the product license, and APHIS would determine that an environmental impact statement need not be prepared. APHIS intends to issue a veterinary biological product license for this vaccine following completion of the field test provided no adverse impacts on the human environment are identified and provided the product meets all other requirements for licensing. Authority: 21 U.S.C. 151–159; 7 CFR 2.22, 2.80, and 371.4. Done in Washington, DC, this 24th day of August 2022 . Anthony Shea, Administrator, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service.

1936c. HPRP provides loans to eligible entities to relend with the 
purpose of assisting heirs with undivided ownership interests to 
resolve ownership and succession issues on farms that are owned in 
common by multiple heirs. HPRP loan funds may be used to purchase and 
consolidate fractional interests held by other heirs in jointly owned 
property, and to pay for costs and fees associated with developing and 
implementing a succession plan (for example, closing costs, appraisals,
