Notice of Intent To Prepare a Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement; Grasshopper and Mormon Cricket Suppression Program
Agriculture Department · Notice
Summary
We are advising the public that the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), U.S. Department of Agriculture, plans to prepare a programmatic environmental impact statement (PEIS) to analyze the effects of a program to suppress populations of grasshoppers and Mormon crickets from rangeland in seventeen states of the western United States (Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming). This notice of intent (NOI) identifies potential issues and reasonable action alternatives that will be evaluated in the PEIS. This NOI invites public comments that further define the scope of the alternatives, potential impacts on the human environment, consistent with the National Environmental Policy Act, and issues for APHIS to consider, relevant information, studies, or analyses with respect to APHIS' proposed action. The proposed PEIS would replace the previous PEIS published in 2019. APHIS expects to publish the final PEIS by August 2027.
