## Summary

The USDA is sharing a draft plan to handle bird flu outbreaks in both big farms and backyard flocks across the U.S. and its territories. They want your thoughts on three different ways to respond and are giving extra time to send comments until January 17, 2025. This plan aims to protect poultry, the environment, and the economy from costly bird flu outbreaks.

## Abstract

We are reopening the comment period for our notice advising the public that a draft programmatic environmental impact statement (EIS) has been prepared by the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service relative to our response activities to highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) outbreaks in commercial and backyard poultry operations located throughout the United States, including the U.S. territories. The draft EIS analyzes and compares the potential environmental effects of using three action alternatives during an HPAI outbreak. This action will allow interested persons additional time to prepare and submit comments.
