Revision of Fruits and Vegetables Import Regulations; Technical Amendment
In a final rule published in the Federal Register on July 18, 2007, we revised and reorganized the regulations pertaining to the importation of fruits and vegetables. As explained in the preamble, the regulatory text included changes made to the fruits and vegetables regulations by several other final rules that were published just prior to July 18. This technical amendment is necessary to correct an error in the way we set out the requirements established in a final rule published on June 21, 2007, for importing certain fruit from Thailand. This technical amendment also clarifies requirements for importing pineapple from Thailand into Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.
Notice of Proposed New Fee Sites, Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act (Title VIII, Pub. L. 108-447)
The Willamette National Forest is planning to charge fees at three recreation sites in 2008. All sites are undergoing reconstruction or amenities are being added to improve services and experiences. Fees are assessed based on the level of amenities and services provided, cost of operation and maintenance and a market assessment. Funds from fees will be used to help cover the cost of continued operation and maintenance of these recreation sites. Three Pools Day Use Area, and Piety Island and Lost Lake Campgrounds are currently fee free sites. New improvements have been made at Piety Island Campground including: the establishment of 22 designated sites with tent pads, picnic tables and fire rings, information boards, new toilets, and garbage service. The proposed fee for Piety Island Campground, a boat-in site, is $10 per campsite and $20 for a multiple site. New fire rings and picnic tables will be added at Lost Lake Campground. Proposed fees for Lost Lake Campground is $8 per campsite and $4 for one extra vehicle. A $5 day use is being proposed at Three Pools Day Use Area. Recreation passes would be honored and include Northwest Forest Pass, Interagency Passes and Golden Passports. Reconstruction at this site will begin in September of 2007 and includes paved parking for 100 vehicles, improved trails, information and interpretive signing, picnic sites and site restoration.
Implementation of the Veterinary Medicine Loan Repayment Program Authorized by the National Veterinary Medical Service Act
USDA's Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service (CSREES) and Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) jointly announce their implementation of the Veterinary Medicine Loan Repayment Program authorized in 2003 by the National Veterinary Medical Service Act (NVMSA) (7 U.S.C. 3151a) and first funded in fiscal year (FY) 2006. To enable the first phase of this program, and in keeping with the existing Federal Student Loan Repayment Authority, CSREES has made funds appropriated to carry out the NVMSA available to FSIS to facilitate their recruitment of food animal veterinarians for designated hard-to-fill positions in food safety and supply, especially in rural communities, through the addition of loan repayment incentives to qualifying service agreements. FSIS, in turn, has posted information about positions eligible to receive loan repayments on the careers page of its Web site at https://www.fsis.usda.gov/careers/StudentLoan RepaymentsVMO/index.asp.
