AGENCY: Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service, and

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Executive Vice President, Commodity Credit Corporation 
(CCC) and the Administrator, Agricultural Stabilization and 
Conservation Service, is announcing that the Pueblo of Laguna Indian 
Reservation of New Mexico is an acute distress area and that CCC-owned 
feed grain will be donated to needy livestock owners on the 
reservation.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John Newcomer, Livestock Programs 
Branch, Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service, P.O. Box 
2415, Washington, DC 20013-2415, 202-720-6157.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the authority set forth in 
section 407 of the Agricultural Act of 1949, as amended (7 U.S.C. 
1427), and Executive Order 11336, notice is being given that I have 
determined that:
    1. The chronic economic distress of the needy members of the Pueblo 
of Laguna Indian Reservation of New Mexico has been materially 
increased and become acute because of drought during the 1992, 1993, 
and 1994 growing seasons, thereby creating a serious shortage of feed 
and causing increased economic distress. This reservation is designated 
for Indian use and is utilized by members of the Pueblo of Laguna for 
grazing purposes.
    2. The use of feed grain or products thereof made available by CCC 
for livestock feed for such needy members of the Pueblo of Laguna 
Indian Reservation will not displace or interfere with normal marketing 
of agricultural commodities.
    3. Based on the above determinations, I hereby declare the Pueblo 
of Laguna Indian Reservation of New Mexico to be an acute distress area 
and authorize the donation of feed grain owned by the CCC to livestock 
owners who are determined by the Bureau of Indian Affairs, United 
States Department of the Interior, to be needy members of the Pueblo of 
Laguna utilizing such lands. These donations by the CCC may commence 
upon June 24, 1994, and shall be made available through September 21, 
1994, or such other date as may be stated in a notice issued by the 
Administrator, Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service.

    Signed at Washington, DC, on June 23, 1994.
Grant Buntrock,
Administrator, Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service, and 
Executive Vice President, Commodity Credit Corporation.
