Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service December 3, 2007 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

We are advising the public that we have prepared a finding of no significant impact relative to a new Federal order that restricts the interstate movement of regulated articles from areas quarantined for citrus greening disease and the Asian citrus psyllid. The finding of no significant impact is based on an environmental assessment that we prepared to document our review and analysis of the potential environmental impacts associated with the implementation of the new Federal order. In a notice published in the Federal Register on November 2, 2007, we made the environmental assessment available to the public for review and comment, but noted that we may have to begin an expanded citrus greening regulatory program in Florida immediately and issue a finding of no significant impact for the environmental assessment before the comment period on the environmental assessment concludes.
