Notice of Availability of Final
Environmental Assessment and
Finding of No Significant Impact for
Release of Psyllaephagus euphyllurae
for Biological Control of Olive Psyllid
in the Contiguous United States
Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service, USDA.
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
permitting the release of the insect
Psyllaephagus euphyllurae for
biological control of olive psyllid
(Euphyllura olivina) in the contiguous
United States. Based on our finding of
no significant impact, we have
determined that an environmental
impact statement need not be prepared.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service (APHIS) is issuing permits for
the release of the insect Psyllaephagus
euphyllurae in the contiguous United
States for the biological control of olive
psyllid (Euphyllura olivina).
The olive psyllid is native to southern
Europe. It was first detected in North
America in 2007. By the time this
psyllid was found on olives in southern
California, it was widespread in the
region. This pest feeds exclusively on
the flower blossoms and growing tissue

of olives, causing reductions in fruit set,
with reductions in fruit yield as high as
60 percent reported in some parts of the
Mediterranean Basin.
Permitting the release of P.
euphyllurae is necessary to reduce the
severity of damage to olives from
infestations of olive psyllid. P.
euphyllurae is a small, stingless
parasitoid wasp specific only to olive
psyllid. The adult wasp lays an egg
inside the olive psyllid. The egg hatches
and consumes the olive psyllid host.
The P. euphyllurae then goes into
prolonged dormancy as a preadult in the
host mummy’s remains until the
following spring. The wasp poses no
risk to humans, livestock, or wildlife.
On March 31, 2022, we published in
the Federal Register (87 FR 18764,
Docket No. 2022–0015) 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 associated with the release of P.
euphyllurae (Hymenoptera:Encyrtidae)
in the contiguous United States for the
biological control of olive psyllid
(Euphyllura olivine, Hemiptera:
Liviidae). Comments on the notice were
required to be received on or before May
2, 2022. We received one comment on
the EA by that date. It was in favor of
the environmental release of P.
euphyllurae.
In this document, we are advising the
public of our finding of no significant
impact (FONSI) regarding the field
release of the insect, P. euphyllurae, for
biological control of olive psyllid in the
contiguous United States. Our finding,
which is based on the EA, reflects our
determination that release of P.
euphyllurae for the biological control of
olive psyllid in the contiguous United
States will not have a significant impact
on the quality of the human
environment. Based on this finding, we
have issued a permit for the release of
P. euphyllurae for the biological control
of olive psyllid in the contiguous United
States.
The final EA and FONSI may be
viewed on the Regulations.gov website
(see footnote 1). Copies of the final EA
and FONSI are also available for public
inspection at 1620 of the USDA South

The Income Eligibility Guidelines
Definition of Income
In accordance with the Department’s
policy as provided in the Food and
Nutrition Service publication Eligibility
Manual for School Meals, ‘‘income,’’ as
the term is used in this notice, means
income before any deductions such as
income taxes, Social Security taxes,
insurance premiums, charitable
contributions, and bonds. It includes the
following: (1) monetary compensation
for services, including wages, salary,
commissions or fees; (2) net income
from nonfarm self-employment; (3) net
income from farm self-employment; (4)
Social Security; (5) dividends or interest
on savings or bonds or income from
estates or trusts; (6) net rental income;
(7) public assistance or welfare
payments; (8) unemployment
compensation; (9) government civilian
employee or military retirement, or
pensions or veterans payments; (10)
private pensions or annuities; (11)
alimony or child support payments; (12)
regular contributions from persons not
living in the household; (13) net
royalties; and (14) other cash income.
Other cash income would include cash
amounts received or withdrawn from
any source including savings,
investments, trust accounts and other
resources that would be available to pay
the price of a child’s meal.
‘‘Income’’, as the term is used in this
notice, does not include any income or
benefits received under any Federal
programs that are excluded from
consideration as income by any
The following are the Income
Eligibility Guidelines to be effective
from July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025.
The Department’s guidelines for free
meals and milk and reduced price meals
were obtained by multiplying the year
2024 Federal income poverty guidelines
by 1.30 and 1.85, respectively, and by
rounding the result upward to the next
whole dollar.
This notice displays only the annual
Federal poverty guidelines issued by the
Department of Health and Human
Services because the monthly and
weekly Federal poverty guidelines are
not used to determine the Income
Eligibility Guidelines. The chart details
the free and reduced price eligibility
criteria for monthly income, income
received twice monthly (24 payments
per year), income received every two
weeks (26 payments per year) and
weekly income.
Income calculations are made based
on the following formulas: monthly
income is calculated by dividing the
annual income by 12; twice monthly
income is computed by dividing annual
income by 24; income received every
two weeks is calculated by dividing
annual income by 26; and weekly
income is computed by dividing annual
income by 52. All numbers are rounded
upward to the next whole dollar. The
numbers reflected in this notice for a
family of four in the 48 contiguous
States, the District of Columbia, Guam
and the Territories represent an increase
of 4.0 percent over last year’s level for
a family of the same size.
Authority: Section 9(b)(1) of the
Richard B. Russell National School
Lunch Act (42 U.S.C. 1758(b)(1)(A)).

Background
Pursuant to sections 9(b)(1), 13A(h)(2), and 17(c)(4) of the
Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act (42 U.S.C. 1758(b)(1), 42
U.S.C. 1762(h)(2), and 42 U.S.C. 1766(c)(4)), and sections 3(a)(6) and
4(e)(1)(A) of the Child Nutrition Act of 1966 (42 U.S.C. 1772(a)(6) and
1773(e)(1)(A)), the Department annually issues the Income Eligibility
Guidelines for free and reduced price meals for the National School
Lunch Program (7 CFR part 210), the Commodity School Program (7 CFR
part 210), School Breakfast Program (7 CFR part 220), Summer Food
Service Program (7 CFR part 225), Child and Adult Care Food Program (7
CFR part 226), free milk in the Special Milk Program for Children (7
CFR part 215), and program benefits in the Summer EBT Program (7 CFR
part 292). These eligibility guidelines are based on the Federal income
poverty guidelines and are stated by household size. The guidelines are
used to determine eligibility for free and reduced price meals, free
milk, and Summer EBT benefits in accordance with applicable program
rules.
Definition of Income
In accordance with the Department's policy as provided in the Food
and Nutrition Service publication Eligibility Manual for School Meals,
``income,'' as the term is used in this notice, means income before any
deductions such as income taxes, Social Security taxes, insurance
premiums, charitable contributions, and bonds. It includes the
following: (1) monetary compensation for services, including wages,
salary, commissions or fees; (2) net income from nonfarm self-
employment; (3) net income from farm self-employment; (4) Social
Security; (5) dividends or interest on savings or bonds or income from
estates or trusts; (6) net rental income; (7) public assistance or
welfare payments; (8) unemployment compensation; (9) government
civilian employee or military retirement, or pensions or veterans
payments; (10) private pensions or annuities; (11) alimony or child
support payments; (12) regular contributions from persons not living in
the household; (13) net royalties; and (14) other cash income. Other
cash income would include cash amounts received or withdrawn from any
source including savings, investments, trust accounts and other
resources that would be available to pay the price of a child's meal.
``Income'', as the term is used in this notice, does not include
any income or benefits received under any Federal programs that are
excluded from consideration as income by any statutory prohibition.
Furthermore, the value of meals, milk, or EBT benefits to children
shall not be considered as income to their households for other benefit
programs in accordance with the prohibitions in section 12(e) of the
Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act and section 11(b) of the
Child Nutrition Act of 1966 (42 U.S.C. 1760(e) and 1780(b)).
The Income Eligibility Guidelines
The following are the Income Eligibility Guidelines to be effective
from July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025. The Department's guidelines
for free meals and milk and reduced price meals were obtained by
multiplying the year 2024 Federal income poverty guidelines by 1.30 and
1.85, respectively, and by rounding the result upward to the next whole
dollar.
This notice displays only the annual Federal poverty guidelines
issued by the Department of Health and Human Services because the
monthly and weekly Federal poverty guidelines are not used to determine
the Income Eligibility Guidelines. The chart details the free and
reduced price eligibility criteria for monthly income, income received
twice monthly (24 payments per year), income received every two weeks
(26 payments per year) and weekly income.
Income calculations are made based on the following formulas:
monthly income is calculated by dividing the annual income by 12; twice
monthly income is computed by dividing annual income by 24; income
received every two weeks is calculated by dividing annual income by 26;
and weekly income is computed by dividing annual income by 52. All
numbers are rounded upward to the next whole dollar. The numbers
reflected in this notice for a family of four in the 48 contiguous
States, the District of Columbia, Guam and the Territories represent an
increase of 4.0 percent over last year's level for a family of the same
size.
Authority: Section 9(b)(1) of the Richard B. Russell National
School Lunch Act (42 U.S.C. 1758(b)(1)(A)).
