2023. APHIS received three comments.
One commenter expressed concern that
the DvSSJ1 dsRNA insect resistant trait
in DP23211 corn is associated with an
animal and thus presents cultural/
dietary concerns for plant-based diet
adherents who may inadvertently
consume DP23211 corn, and thereby
DvSSJ1 dsRNA. We responded that the
potential risk of exposure to insect
DNA/RNA via inadvertent consumption
of DP23211 corn products is not
expected to appreciably increase in the
event of deregulation and subsequent
production of DP23211 corn, and that
DvSSJ1 dsRNA poses no health risk to
humans. Another commenter expressed
opposition to biotechnology-derived
crops, in general. A comment from a
State organization representing farmers
expressed support for the deregulation
of DP23211 corn. APHIS provided a
response to the comments in Appendix
2 of our final EA. None of the comments
identified new information or data
regarding the draft EA or draft PPRA.
organisms developed using genetic
engineering.
Copies of the signed determination
document, PPRA, final EA, and FONSI,
as well as the previously published
petition and supporting documents, are
available as indicated under ADDRESSES
and from the person listed under the
National Environmental Policy Act
After reviewing and evaluating the
comments received during the comment
period on the draft EA, draft PPRA, and
other information, APHIS has prepared
a final EA, which provides the public
with documentation of APHIS’ review
and analysis of any potential
environmental impacts associated with
the determination of nonregulated status
of DP23211 corn. The EA was prepared
in accordance with: (1) the National
Environmental Policy Act (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). Based on our EA, public
comments, and other pertinent scientific
data, APHIS has reached a finding of no
significant impact (FONSI) with regard
to the preferred alternative identified in
the EA (to make a determination of
nonregulated status for DP23211 corn).

Determination
Based on APHIS’ analysis of field and
laboratory data submitted by Pioneer,
references provided in the petition,
peer-reviewed publications, information
analyzed in the EA, the PPRA, the
public comments, and information
provided in APHIS’ response to those
public comments, APHIS has
determined that DP23211 corn is
unlikely to pose a plant pest risk and
therefore is no longer subject to our
regulations governing the movement of

ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The Lassen National Forest is
proposing to establish several new
recreation fee sites. Recreation fee
revenues collected at the new recreation
fee sites would be used for operation,

fee sites with similar amenities shows
the recreation fees that would be
charged at the new recreation fee sites
are reasonable and typical of similar
recreation fee sites in the area.
DATES: If approved, the new recreation
fees would be implemented no earlier
than six months following the
publication of this notice in the Federal
Register.
ADDRESSES: Lassen National Forest,
2550 Riverside Drive, Susanville, CA

An expanded amenity recreation fee
of $12 per night would be charged for

Goumaz, and Roxie Peconom
Campgrounds. An expanded amenity
recreation fee of $18 per night would be

Expenditures from recreation fee
revenues collected at the new recreation
fee sites would enhance recreation

Once public involvement is complete,
the new recreation fees will be reviewed
by a Resource Advisory Committee prior
to a final decision and implementation.
