SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The environmental assessment of this

significant local, regional, or national impacts on the environment. As 
a result of these findings, Robert J. Graham, State Conservationist,

The planned works of improvement include grazing management systems on 
60,000 acres, fish stream improvement on 25 miles and cropland 
management systems on 10,500 acres.
    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 
Russell A. Collett at the above address.
    No administrative action on implementation of the proposed will be 
taken until 30 days after the date of this publication in the Federal 
Register.

(This activity is listed in the Catalog of Federal Domestic 
Assistance under No. 10.904, Watershed Protection and Flood 
Prevention, and is subject to the provisions of Executive Order 
12372, which requires intergovernmental consultation with State and 
local officials.)
