application for designation. Applications were due by June 30, 2001.
Columbus, Farwell, and Northeast Indiana were the sole applicants
for designation to provide official services in the entire area
currently assigned to them, so GIPSA did not ask for additional
comments on them.
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 Columbus, Farwell, and Northeast Indiana
are able to provide official services in the geographic areas specified
in the June 1, 2001, Federal Register, for which they applied.
Subsequently, Columbus applied for additional territory in Ohio, and
was granted designation for the area specified in the October 1, 2001,
