SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The environmental assessment of this 
federally assisted action indicated 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.

shoreline erosion. The planned works of improvement include eight fixed 
crest weirs with boat bays, three canal plugs with flapgated culverts, 
seven canal plugs, four earthen overflow banks (a total of 30,730 
feet), and two rock overflow banks (a total of 5,338 feet).
    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:

Register.
