SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    This action has been reviewed and determined not to be a rule or 
regulation as defined in Executive Order 12866 and Departmental 
Regulation 1512-1; therefore, the Executive Order and Departmental 
Regulation do not apply to this action.
    In the December 30, 1993, Federal Register (58 FR 69316), FGIS 
asked persons interested in providing official services in the 
geographic areas assigned to Sioux City and Tischer to submit an 
application for designation. Applications were due by January 31, 1994. 
There were three applicants. Sioux City and Tischer each applied for 
designation in the entire area currently assigned to them. The D. R.

the Tischer area: Big Six Elevator, Burt, and West Bend Elevator Co., 
Algona, Kossuth County; Gold-Eagle Coop., Goldfield, and Clarion 
Farmers Elevator Cooperative, Wright County; Iowa, (located inside 
Schaal's area) in addition to the area they are already designated to 
serve. Tischer and Schaal are contiguous official agencies.

opportunity to present comments concerning the applicants. Commenters 
are encouraged to submit reasons and pertinent data for support or 
objection to the designation of these applicants. All comments must be 
submitted to the Compliance Division at the above address.
