SUMMARY: Pursuant to Section 102(2)(C) of the National Environmental

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The environmental assessment of this 
federally assisted action indicates that the project may cause 
significant local, regional, or national impacts on the environment. As 
a result of these findings, Joan B. Perry, Director, has determined 
that the preparation and review of an environmental impact statement 
are needed for this project.
    The project concerns a plan for residential flood prevention and 
water quality enhancement. Alternatives under consideration to reach 
this objective include levees, waterways, and animal waste disposal 
units.
    A draft environmental impact statement will be prepared and 
circulated for review by agencies and the public. The Soil Conservation 
Service invites participation and consultation of agencies and 
individuals that have special expertise, legal jurisdiction, or 
interest in the preparation of the draft environmental impact 
statement. A meeting will be held on April 14, 1994 to determine the 
scope of the evaluation of the proposed action. Further information on 
the proposed action or scoping meeting may be obtained from Joan B. 
Perry, Director, at the above address, or from Richard Hansen, District 
Conservationist, Soil Conservation Service, P.O. Box 4078, Pago Pago,
