Shasta-Trinity National Forest, CA; Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement for the Gemmill Thin Project
Document Number: E9-24145
Type: Notice
Date: 2009-10-08
Agency: Department of Agriculture, Forest Service
On April 16, 2009, J. Sharon Heywood, Forest Supervisor for the Shasta-Trinity National Forest, issued a Record of Decision (ROD) for the Gemmill Thin Project Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS). The decision to implement Alternative 1 (proposed action) as described in the FEIS and ROD was appealed by the Klamath Siskiyou Wildlands Center and the Conservation Congress on behalf of Citizens for Better Forestry and the Klamath Forest Alliance. On July 23, 2009, Appeal Deciding Officer/Deputy Regional Forester, Beth Pendleton, reversed the decision due to the lack of a reasonable range of alternatives analyzed in the FEIS. The Shasta-Trinity National Forest will prepare a supplemental environmental impact statement (SETS) for the Gemmill Thin Project to provide analysis of additional alternatives to the proposed action.
Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC): Vendor Cost Containment
Document Number: E9-24143
Type: Rule
Date: 2009-10-08
Agency: Department of Agriculture, Food and Nutrition Service
This final rule adopts, with changes, an interim rule published on November 29, 2005 amending the WIC regulations. The final rule incorporates into program regulations new legislative requirements for vendor cost containment that affect the selection, authorization, and reimbursement of retail vendors. These requirements are contained in the Child Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act of 2004, enacted on June 30, 2004. The final rule reflects the statutory provisions that require State agencies to implement a vendor peer group system, competitive price criteria, and allowable reimbursement levels in a manner that ensures the WIC Program pays authorized vendors competitive prices for supplemental foods. It also requires State agencies to ensure vendors that derive more than 50 percent of their annual food sales revenue from WIC food instruments (``above-50-percent vendors'') do not cause higher food costs for the program than do other vendors (``regular vendors''). The intent of these provisions is to maximize the number of eligible women, infants, and children served with available Federal funding.
