    Ecological Risk Assessment for the Proposed New Chemical Registration of GS-U-ACTX-Hv1a-SEQ2 (Versutide™ peptide) on Vegetables and Cole Crops; Herbs, Spices, and Mints; Pasture and Hay Crops; Fruit, Nut, and Vine Crops; Field Crops; Commercial Flowers and Ornamental Plants; Forest, Shade Tree, and Nursery Stock; and Turf ASSOCIATED BARCODE: D411507 By Meghan Radtke, Ph.D., Biologist Peer Reviewers Faruque Khan, Ph.D., Senior Scientist Edward Odenkirchen, Ph.D., Senior Scientist Sujatha Sankula, Ph.D., Lead Biologist Acting Branch Chief Edward Odenkirchen, Ph.D. Date of Approval May 30, 2013 1 1. PROBLEM FORMULATION 1.1 Nature of the Registration Action This environmental risk assessment evaluates the potential ecological risks of the new broad spectrum insecticide, GS-U-ACTX-Hv1a-SEQ2 (Versutide™ peptide). The insecticide is proposed for use on a number of agricultural and home/garden uses; general categories include: vegetable and cole crops; herbs, spices, and mints; fruit, nut, and vine crops; field crops; commercial flowers and ornamental plants; forest, shade tree, and nursery stock; and turf. The insecticide is listed as being effective to control numerous insects including: alfalfa looper, army worm, Colorado potato beetle larvae, hornworms, spotted cucumber beetle, tobacco budworm, European corn borer, cankerworm, western tent caterpillar, cutworms, corn earworm, and gypsy moth. Two formulations (20% and 30% ai) are being registered. The proposed maximum single application rate is 0.8 lb ai/A with a maximum yearly application rate (assumed) of 0.8 lb ai/A. The products are foliar sprays that are applied via ground or aerial application equipment. 1.2 Nature of the Chemical Stressor GS-U-ACTX-Hv1a-SEQ2 is a peptide that is derived from the venom of a species of Australian funnel spider (Hadronyche versuta).

Salazar also announced that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which is responsible for administering the Endangered Species Act, is designating critical habitat on the island for 47 of these species. “Our action today reflects President Obama’s determination to base conservation decisions on the best available science and to move quickly to protect our nation’s wildlife and ecosystems when, like the fragile ecosystem of Kaua‘i, they are at risk,” said Salazar. The designation of critical habitat for the 47 species represents a significant step forward from the Service’s past efforts to designate critical habitat for threatened and endangered species in Hawai‘i. Previous critical habitat designations created an overlapping patchwork of habitat that did not maximize conservation efforts for these species and Hawai‘i’s natural communities. “The ecosystem-based approach that our scientists used to make this decision represents an efficient and innovative model for conserving imperiled species and their habitats,” said Salazar.

The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) operates Browns Ferry Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1, 2, and 3 (BFN) pursuant to NRC operating license (OL) numbers DPR-33, DPR-52, DPR-68, which expire on December 20, 2013, June 28, 2014, and July 2, 2016, respectively. TVA has prepared an Environmental Report (ER) (TVA 2003) in conjunction with its application for renewal of the BFN OLs, as provided for by the following NRC regulations: C Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 54, “Requirements for Renewal of Operating Licenses for Nuclear Power Plants,” Section 54.23, Contents of application - environmental information (10 CFR 54.23). C Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 51, “Environmental Protection Regulations for Domestic Licensing and Related Regulatory Functions,” Section 51.53, Postconstruction environmental reports, Subsection 51.53(c), Operating license renewal stage (10 CFR 51.53(c)). The renewed OLs would allow up to 20 additional years of plant operation beyond the current licensed operating term. No major refurbishment or replacement of important systems, structures, or components are expected during the 20-year BFN license renewal term.

The waterway accommodates barge navigation between the Tennessee River drainage and Mobile River Basin through a series of locks, dams, canals, and dredged and diverted streams. These alterations have destroyed much riverine habitat and fragmented remaining aquatic habitats resulting in isolated freshwater mussel populations in patches of streams like the East Fork Tombigbee River, where 42 species were historically known. The first post-waterway mussel surveys in 1987 and 1988 reported 31 taxa (including 2 federally-listed species).

    NASA Stennis Space Center Environmental Resources Document

    NASA Stennis Space Center Environmental Resources Document 6.0 Endangered and Threatened Species 6.1 Endangered Species Act The Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) was enacted "to provide a means whereby the ecosystems upon which endangered species and threatened species depend may be conserved and to provide a program for the conservation of such endangered species and threatened species." The term endangered species applies to "any species that is in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range." A threatened species is "any species which is likely to become an endangered species within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range." The Secretary of Interior in conjunction with the Secretary of Commerce makes determination of threatened and endangered species. A species may be designated either threatened or endangered because of any of the following factors: • Current or threatened destruction, modification, or curtailment of its habitat or range • Over utilization of the species for commercial, recreational, scientific, or educational purposes • Disease or predation • Inadequacy of existing regulations • Other natural or manmade factors affecting continued existence of the species Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act requires Federal agencies to ensure that any action authorized, funded, or carried out by the agency "is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of any endangered species or threatened species or result in the destruction or adverse modification of habitat of such species." The regulations require consultations with United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) or the National Marine Fisheries Service if any listed species or their habitat may be affected by any agency activity.

    NEPA Action EA/EIS Publication Form Project Name: National Aeronautics and Space Administration Low Density Supersonic Decelerator Technology Demonstration Mission Pacific Missile Range Facility Supplemental EA Island: Kauai District: TMK: N/A Permits: Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument - Conservation and Management Permit Applicant or Proposing Agency: National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Steve Slaten, Jet Propulsion Laboratory Facilities and Environmental Manager, [email protected] Approving Agency: N/A Consultant: N/A Status: Final Supplemental EA and signed Final FONSI Summary: The Proposed Action (Alternative 1–Preferred Alternative) incorporates all activities described in the No-action Alternative, with clarification that some recovery aids discussed in the 2013 EA may or may not be employed and provides for additional splashdown area and test opportunities for the SFDT. This would require approved entry into the easternmost part of the Open Ocean Area of PMNM; therefore, NASA has requested authorization for entry into PMNM through a Conservation and Management hardware and potential fly-over of Nihoa Island and its surrounding Special Management Area from scheduled SFDTs beginning in 2015. NASA could have up to two technology testing launches each year for the next 5 years (June 2015 through August 2019). These additional test opportunities would increase the probability of successful test flights and lower the risk of a scenario for an unplanned (i.e., anomalous) termination of the test flight. NASA proposes to use an additional 37,600 km2 (10,950 nm2) of splashdown area for future SDFT test flights. Of the approximately 37,600 km2 (10,950 nm2), approximately 28,730 km2 (8,370 nm2) is Open Ocean Area within PMNM and the other approximately 8,875 km2 (2,600 nm2) of Open Ocean Area is north of PMNM.
