Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service March 14, 2011 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

We are advising the public that the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) has prepared an environmental assessment and finding of no significant impact relative to the release of the hawkweed gall wasp, Aulacidea subterminalis, into the continental United States as a biological control agent to reduce the severity of infestations of hawkweeds (Hieracium spp.). Based on its finding of no significant impact, APHIS has determined that an environmental impact statement need not be prepared.
