SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    This action has been reviewed and determined not to be a rule or 
regulation as defined in Executive Order 12866 and Departmental 
Regulation 1512-1; therefore, the Executive Order and Departmental 
Regulation do not apply to this action.
    Section 7(f)(1) of the Act authorizes FGIS' Administrator to 
designate a qualified applicant to provide official services in a 
specified area after determining that the applicant is better able than 
any other applicant to provide such official services.
    FGIS designated Jinks, main office located in Homer, Illinois, to 
provide Class X or Y weighing services under the Act on March 1, 1992.
    Section 7(g)(1) of the Act provides that designations of official 
agencies shall end not later than triennially and may be renewed 
according to the criteria and procedures prescribed in Section 7(f) of 
the Act. The Jinks designation ends on February 28, 1995.
    In the September 1, 1994, Federal Register (59 FR 45258), FGIS 
asked persons interested in providing Class X or Y weighing services in 
the geographic area assigned to Jinks to submit an application for 
designation. There were no applicants for the Jinks area. FGIS is again 
asking persons interested in providing Class X or Y weighing services 
in the geographic area assigned to Jinks to submit an application for 
designation.

    Interested persons, including Jinks, are hereby given the 
opportunity to apply for designation to provide Class X or Y weighing 
services in the geographic area specified above under the provisions of 
Section 7(f) of the Act and section 800.196(d) of the regulations
