SUMMARY: Gypsy Moth Management in the United States; A Cooperative Approach,
SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
On April 29, 2004 (69 FR 23492), the Forest Service and the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service published in the Federal Register a Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare a Supplement to the Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for Gypsy Moth Management in the United States: A Cooperative Approach. The expected date for publication of the draft (SEIS) was March 2005 and February 2006 for the final SEIS. On February 7, 2007 (72 FR 5675), the agencies published a revised NOI in the Federal Register extending the expected dates for publishing the draft and final SEIS to July 2007 and July 2008 respectively. Through this revised NOI, the agencies are again extending the expected publication dates for the draft and final SEIS. The SEIS will document an analysis of the 2004 proposal to add the
insecticide, tebufenozide (trade name Mimic), to the agencies' list of
treatments for the control of gypsy moth. The 2004 proposal also
includes developing a process for adding other insecticides that may
become available in the future to their list of treatments for control
of gypsy moth, if the proposed insecticides are within the range of
effects and acceptable risks for the existing list of treatments. The
analysis for this proposal builds on the analysis and documentation for
the January 16, 1996, Record of Decision for the Gypsy Moth Management
in the United States: A Cooperative Approach Final Environmental Impact
Statement, which was published in the Federal Register on February 15,
1996 (61 FR 5976). The agencies will prepare a Supplemental
Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) to the November 1995 Final
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), Gypsy Moth Management in the
United States: A Cooperative Approach, which was published in the Federal Register on December 1, 1995 (60 FR 61698).
Dared: June 25, 2008.
