Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 32 / Thursday, February 18, 2010 / Notices
533–8611, facsimile (513) 533–8285.
Comments may also be submitted by email to [email protected]. All
material submitted to the Agency
should reference the NIOSH Docket
number 099–C. All electronic comments
should be formatted as Microsoft Word.
All information received, including
any personal information provided, will
be posted without change and will be
available for public examination and
copying at the NIOSH Docket Office,
Room 111, 4676 Columbia Parkway,
Cincinnati, Ohio 45226.
Purpose: To obtain comments from
the public on the revised draft
document entitled, ‘‘NIOSH Current
Intelligence Bulletin—Asbestos Fibers
and Other Elongate Mineral Particles:
State of the Science and Roadmap for
Research,’’ referred to as Roadmap.
Asbestos has been a highly visible issue
in public health for over three decades.
Many advances have been made in the
scientific understanding of worker
health effects from exposure to asbestos
and other elongate mineral particles
(EMPs), and it is now well documented
that fibers of asbestos minerals, when
inhaled, can cause serious diseases in
exposed workers. Yet, many questions
and areas of scientific uncertainty
remain.
Background: As the Federal agency
responsible for conducting research and
making recommendations for the
prevention of worker injury and illness,
NIOSH is undertaking a reappraisal of
how to ensure appropriate protection of
workers from exposure to asbestos fibers
and other EMPs. The purpose of the
draft Roadmap is to outline major areas
of controversy and to recommend a
research framework that can serve as a
guide for the development of specific
research programs within and across
disciplines. Ultimately, the intended
goal of the research is to provide
answers to current scientific questions,
reduce scientific uncertainties, and
provide a sound scientific foundation
for future policy development so that
optimal health protection can be
assured.
NIOSH has prepared several drafts of
the document and invited comments on
the occupational health issues identified
and the framework for research. The
drafts are summarized below.
In February 2007 a draft entitled
‘‘Asbestos and Other Mineral Fibers: A
Roadmap for Scientific Research’’ was
disseminated for public comment and
scientific peer review.
The February 2007 draft, public
comments, peer review comments, and
the responses to peer reviewers’
comments can be found at:

In June 2008 a draft entitled ‘‘Revised

was disseminated for public comment.

In January 2009 a draft entitled
‘‘Revised Draft NIOSH CURRENT
INTELLIGENCE BULLETIN—Asbestos
Fibers and Other Elongated Mineral
Particles: State of the Science and
Roadmap for Research’’ was submitted
to the Institute of Medicine and the
National Research Council of the
National Academies (NA) for scientific
review.
The NA review, titled ‘‘A Review of
the NIOSH Roadmap for Research on
Asbestos Fibers and Other Elongate
Mineral Particles,’’ can be found at:

The January 2009 draft and the
responses to the NA review can be
found at: http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/
docket/NIOSHdocket0099B.html.
As a result of comments received
during each review, NIOSH revised
previous drafts and is now inviting
comments on a fourth version of the
draft of the document.
NIOSH continues to be interested in
available and forthcoming research
results that can help answer the
questions set forth in the Roadmap, as
well as information on existing
workplace exposure data, health effects,
and control technologies.
Submitted comments on the revised
draft Roadmap should indicate the
pertinent page(s) and line(s) in the draft
document being addressed.

Introduction
With this notice, we finalize the CCP
process for Rappahannock River Valley
NWR. We started this plan’s
development through a notice in the
Federal Register (70 FR 65931) on
November 1, 2005. We released the draft
CCP/EA to the public, announcing and
requesting comments in a notice of
availability in the Federal Register (74
FR 36500) on July 23, 2009.
Rappahannock River Valley NWR,
consisting of more than 7,700 acres, was
established in 1996 to conserve and
protect fish and wildlife resources,
including endangered and threatened
species, and wetlands. Refuge habitats
include freshwater tidal marsh, forested
swamp, upland deciduous forest, mixed
pine forest, and managed grassland. One
federally listed species, the threatened
sensitive joint-vetch (Aeschynomene
virginica), is found on the refuge. The
State of Virginia’s largest wintering
population of bald eagles is located
within the refuge boundary. Neotropical
migratory songbirds, shorebirds, raptors,
and marsh birds also rely on the
Rappahannock River corridor during
their spring and fall migrations. With
help from partners and volunteers, we
are restoring native grasslands and
riparian forests along the river and its
tributary streams to provide additional
habitat for these important species.
Although wildlife and habitat
conservation is the refuge’s first priority,
the public can observe and photograph
wildlife, fish, hunt, or participate in
environmental education and
interpretation on several units of the
refuge. The refuge contains three sites
on the Virginia Birding and Wildlife
Trail. The Wilna Unit, located in
Richmond County, offers accessible
fishing, excellent wildlife observation
opportunities, and accessible nature
trails. Other units of the refuge are open
for visits by reservation.
We announce our decision and the
availability of the FONSI for the final
CCP for Rappahannock River Valley
NWR in accordance with National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) (40
CFR 1506.6(b)) requirements. We
completed a thorough analysis of
impacts on the human environment,
which we included in the draft CCP/EA.
The CCP will guide us in managing
and administering Rappahannock River
Valley NWR for the next 15 years.
Alternative B, as we described in the
draft CCP/EA, is the foundation for the
final CCP.
