    This action has been reviewed and determined not to be a rule or 
regulation as defined in Executive Order 12866 and Departmental

    In the September 1, 1993, Federal Register (58 FR 46156), FGIS 
announced that the designation of Alabama ends on February 28, 1994, 
and asked persons interested in providing official services within the 
specified geographic areas to submit an application for designation. 
Applications were due by October 1, 1993. Alabama, the sole applicant, 
applied for designation in the entire area currently assigned to it.
    FGIS requested comments on the applicant in the October 29, 1993, 
Federal Register (58 FR 58148). Comments were due by December 1, 1993. 
FGIS received no comments by the deadline. FGIS evaluated all available 
information regarding the designation criteria in Section 7(f)(1)(A) of 
the Act; and according to Section 7(f)(1)(B), determined that Alabama 
is able to provide official services in the geographic area for which 
they applied.
    Effective March 1, 1994, and ending February 28, 1997, Alabama is 
designated to provide official inspection and Class X or Class Y 
weighing services in the entire State of Alabama, except those export 
port locations within the State.
