SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This action has been reviewed and determined

Departmental Regulation 1512-1; therefore, the Executive Order and
Departmental Regulation do not apply to this action.
In the March 1, 2000, Federal Register (65 FR 11036), GIPSA asked
persons interested in providing official services in the geographic
areas assigned to Ohio Valley, Idaho, Lewiston, Utah, and Mississippi
to submit an application for designation. Applications were due by
March 30, 2000. Each was the sole applicant for designation to provide
official services in the entire area currently assigned to them, so
GIPSA did not ask for comments on the applicants.
GIPSA evaluated all available information regarding the designation
criteria in Section 7(f)(l)(A) of the Act and, according to Section
7(f)(l)(B), determined that each official agency is able to provide
official services in the geographic areas, specified in the March 1,
2000, Federal Register, for which they applied. Interested persons may
obtain official services by calling the telephone numbers listed below.
