Availability of an Environmental Assessment

We are advising the public that an environmental assessment has been prepared by the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service relative to the suppression of papaya mealybugs, Paracoccus marginatus Williams (Homoptera, Pseudococcidae). The environmental assessment's preferred alternative is to release into the environment nonindigenous wasps for use as biological control agents to suppress the papaya mealybugs. The environmental assessment has been prepared to provide the public with documentation of APHIS' review and analysis of the environmental impact and plant pest risk associated with releasing these biological control agents into the environment.
