[Docket No. APHIS-2007-0037]


Wildlife Services; Publication of NEPA Legal Notices

AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, USDA.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This notice lists the newspapers that will normally be used by 
the Wildlife Services program of the Animal and Plant Health Inspection 
Service to publish legal notices in accordance with the Agency's 
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) implementing procedures, 
including notices announcing the availability, for public comment, of 
documents regarding environmental assessments, environmental impact 
statements, and subsequent final decisions. We are also providing the 
address of an Internet Web site address where those notices will also 
be posted. We are publishing this notice to inform interested members 
of the public which newspapers Wildlife Services will most likely use 
to publish legal notices in connection with its NEPA-related 
activities, which we believe will enhance the public's opportunity to 
read and comment on our NEPA documents and decisions by providing 
clear, timely, and consistent notice of their availability.

DATES: Publication of legal notices in the listed newspapers and the 
posting of those notices on the Internet will begin with the first such 
notice made after the date of publication of this notice. The Web 
address and list of newspapers will remain in effect until another 
notice is published in the Federal Register

Environmental Manager, Operational Support Staff, WS, APHIS, 4700 River

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice lists the newspapers that will 
normally be used by the Wildlife Services (WS) program of the Animal 
and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) to publish legal notices in 
accordance with the Agency's National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) 
implementing procedures in 7 CFR part 372. We are publishing this 
notice to inform interested members of the public which newspapers 
APHIS-WS will most likely use to publish legal notices in connection 
with its NEPA-related activities, which we believe will enhance the 
public's opportunity to read and comment on our NEPA documents and 
decisions by providing clear, timely, and consistent notice of their 
availability. Newspaper notices will be published in the State 
newspaper of record specific to the State in which the APHIS-WS NEPA-
related activities will take place. Additional newspapers, or different 
newspapers, may occasionally have to be used, depending upon the 
geographic area or areas covered or affected by a particular APHIS-WS 
NEPA document, as well as on the subject matter and courses of proposed 
action or actions identified in the NEPA document.
    In addition to the notice provided through publication in 
newspapers, APHIS-WS will also post its NEPA-related legal notices on 
the Internet. The following Web address will be used: http://www.aphis.usda.gov/wildlife_damage/nepa.shtml.
