>ACTION: Notice of the Availability of an Environmental Assessment;
>Request for Comments
>
>SUMMARY: The purpose of this Notice is to make available to the public an
>environmental assessment regarding the release in the United States of
>three nonindigeneous insects Galerucella calmariensis, Galerucella
>pusilla, and Hylobius tansversovittatus. The purpose of the release is to
>reduce and control Lythrum salicaria on Service-managed wetlands and to
>assist the States to reduce and control purple loosestrife on non-Service
>wetlands. These insects are not native to North America.
>
>The Service proposes to release these three insect species on Service and
>other lands in the United States so they can contribute to the biological
>control of purple loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria), an introduced weed.
>
>DATES: Written comments on the Environmental Assessment should be received
>on or before July 12, 1995
>
>HOW TO OBTAIN A COPY OF THE EA: The document is available on the Fish and
>Wildlife Service world wide server at
