supplementary information: The environmental assessment of the 
federally assisted action indicates that the project will not cause 
significant local, regional, or national impacts on the environment. As 
a result of these findings, Donald W. Gohmert, State Conservationist, 
has determined that the preparation and review of an environmental 
impact statement are not needed for this project.

Vermilion Bay Shoreline and the banks of the Boston Canal near its 
mouth. The planned works of improvement include the planting of 
vegetation along 14.3 miles of the Vermilion Bay Shoreline and the 
installation of bulkheads and sediment fences at the mouth of Boston 
Canal.
    The Notice of a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) has been 
forwarded to the Environmental Protection Agency and to various 
Federal, State, and local agencies and interested parties. A limited 
number of copies of the FONSI are available to fill single copy 
requests at the above address. Basic data developed during the 
environmental assessment are on file and may be reviewed by contacting 
Donald W. Gohmert.
    No administrative action on implementation of the proposal will be 
taken until 30 days after the date of this publication in the Federal 
Register.
    This activity is being conducted under the provisions of Public Law 
101-646--Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection, and Restoration Act.
