(40 CFR part 1500); and the Soil Conservation Service Guidelines, (7

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The environmental assessment of this 
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, Mr. Rollin N. Swank, State Conservationist, 
has determined that the preparation and review of an environmental 
impact statement are not needed for this project.
    The purpose of the measure is conservation, natural resource 
education and rural community development. The measure will develop the 
Fort Randolph facility to show pioneer dependence on natural resources. 
An interpretive conservation and environmental education trail will be 
developed which highlights wetland conservation and plant species 
important to pioneers. The fort will be improved to allow period 
craftsmen to demonstrate the dependence of pioneers on natural 
resources of the area, including plants, animals, soil and water.
