[Docket No. 94-073-1]

 

Availability of Environmental Assessment and Finding of No 
Significant Impact

AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, USDA.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: We are advising the public that the Animal and Plant Health 
Inspection Service has prepared an environmental assessment and finding 
of no significant impact for the issuance of a veterinary biological 
product license. A risk analysis, which forms the basis for the 
environmental assessment, has led us to conclude that issuance of this 
license will not have a significant impact on the quality of the human 
environment. Based on our finding of no significant impact, we have 
determined that an environmental impact statement need not be prepared.

ADDRESSES: Copies of the environmental assessment and finding of no 
significant impact may be obtained by writing to the person listed 
under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. Please refer to the docket 
number of this notice when requesting copies. Copies of the 
environmental assessment and finding of no significant impact (as well

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A veterinary biological product regulated 
under the Virus-Serum-Toxin Act (21 U.S.C. 151 et seq.) must be shown 
to be pure, safe, potent, and efficacious before a veterinary 
biological product license may be issued.
    In determining whether to issue a license for the veterinary 
biological product referenced in this notice, the Animal and Plant 
Health Inspection Service (APHIS) conducted a risk analysis to assess 
the product's potential effect on the safety of animals, public health, 
and the environment. Based on that risk analysis, APHIS has prepared an 
environmental assessment. APHIS has concluded that issuance of a 
veterinary biological product license for the veterinary biological 
product referenced in this notice will not significantly affect the 
quality of the human environment. Based on the finding of no 
significant impact, we have determined that there is no need to prepare 
an environmental impact statement.
    An environmental assessment and finding of no significant impact 
have been prepared for issuance of a veterinary biological product 
license for the following veterinary biological product: Newcastle 
Disease-Fowlpox Vaccine, Live Fowlpox Vector; Code 17C1.R0; to be 
issued to SyntroVet Incorporated, Establishment License No. 314.
    The environmental assessment and finding of no significant impact 
have been prepared in accordance with: (1) the National Environmental 
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), (2) Regulations of 
the Council on Environmental Quality for Implementing the Procedural 
Provisions of NEPA (40 CFR parts 1500-1508), (3) USDA Regulations 
Implementing NEPA (7 CFR part 1b), and (4) APHIS Guidelines 
Implementing NEPA (44 FR 50381-50384, August 28, 1979, and 44 FR 51272-
51274, August 31, 1979).

    Done in Washington, DC, this 19th day of July 1994.
