SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service (APHIS) is proposing to issue
permits for the release of the insect,
Bagous nodulosus, for the biological
control of flowering rush (Butomus
umbellatus) in the continental United
States. The action is proposed to reduce
the severity of infestations of flowering
rush in the continental United States.
Flowering rush is an herbaceous
aquatic perennial in the plant family
Butomaceae. Native to Europe and Asia,
flowering rush was introduced into
North America by 1900, possibly both
accidentally in ballast water and
packing material and intentionally via
the horticulture trade. It is now widely
naturalized in wetlands, lakes, ditches,
and slow-moving rivers in 23 States and
nine provinces surrounding the United
States/Canada border and is continuing
to expand outward. Flowering rush
displaces native plant species, impedes
water flow, alters habitat structure and
nutrient cycling, damages fishing,
hunting, boating, and other recreational
sectors, and is difficult to control. In
western North America, it provides

Jkt 262001
habitat for highly damaging invasive
and nuisance species.
Permitting the release of B. nodulosus
in the continental United States is
necessary to help control invasive
flowering rush. B. nodulosus, a semiaquatic weevil, is a highly specific and
potentially very damaging biological
control agent for flowering rush. Both
adult and larval feeding of B. nodulosus
have been shown to reduce the vigor of
flowering rush and this agent attacks
flowering rush very early during the
field season (adults are active from
April onwards) and over a long period
of time (larvae can be found feeding in
the plants from April to September),
which should reduce the ability of the
plant to compensate for the attack. Hostspecificity testing indicates B.
nodulosus is unlikely to attack nontarget species.
Flowering rush is very difficult to
control. Conventional management
strategies are often costly to implement,
vary in their effectiveness, and
sometimes result in extensive non-target
damage. However, flowering rush is an
excellent target for biological control
because it is a perennial plant growing
in stable habitats and because it is the
only species in its family, Butomaceae,
in North America. Classical biological
control is a potentially useful
management strategy for an invasive
pest species whenever effective resident
natural enemies are lacking in the new
distribution range.
APHIS’ review and analysis of the
potential environmental impacts
associated with the proposed release are
documented in an environmental
assessment (EA) titled ‘‘Field release of
the weevil Bagous nodulosus
(Coleoptera: Curculionidae) for classical
biological control of flowering rush
(Butomaceae) in the continental United
States’’ (May 2024). Based on our
findings in the EA, we are proposing to
issue permits for the release of the
insect, B. nodulosus, as a biological
control agent to reduce the severity of
infestations of flowering rush. We are
making the EA available to the public
for review and comment. We will
consider all comments that we receive
on or before the date listed under the
heading DATES at the beginning of this
notice.
The EA may be viewed on the
regulations.gov website or in our
reading room (see ADDRESSES above for

information on the location and hours of
the reading room). You may also request

seq.), (2) regulations of the Council on

Proposed Recreation Fee Site
Forest Service, Agriculture
(USDA).
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The National Forests in
Florida are proposing to establish a
recreation fee site. Proposed recreation
fees collected at the proposed recreation
fee site would be used for operation,
maintenance, and improvement of the
site. An analysis of nearby recreation fee
sites with similar amenities shows the
proposed recreation fees that would be
charged at the proposed recreation fee
site are reasonable and typical of similar
recreation fee sites in the area.
DATES: If approved, the proposed
recreation fees would be established no
earlier than six months following the
publication of this notice in the Federal
Register.

recreation fee site and proposed
recreation fees in local newspapers and
other local publications for public
comment. Most of the proposed
recreation fees would be spent where
they are collected to enhance the visitor
experience at the proposed recreation
fee site.
A proposed standard amenity
recreation fee of $5 per day per vehicle
and $40 per season or year per vehicle
would be charged at Prospect Bluff
Historic Site. The National Forests of
Florida Day Use Pass and the America
the Beautiful—the National Parks and
Federal Recreational Lands Pass would
be honored at this proposed standard
amenity recreation fee site.
Expenditures of recreation fees
collected at the proposed recreation fee
site would enhance recreation
opportunities, improve customer
service, and address maintenance needs.
Once public involvement is complete,
the proposed recreation fee site and
proposed recreation fees will be
reviewed by a Recreation Resource
Advisory Committee prior to a final
decision and implementation.
