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

SUMMARY: The Executive Vice President, Commodity Credit Corporation 
(CCC) 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, Consolidated Farm

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 it is 
determined that:
    1. The chronic economic distress of the needy members of the 
Indians on 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 Indians on the 
Pueblo of Laguna Indian Reservation will not displace or interfere with 
normal marketing of agricultural commodities.
    3. Based on the above determinations, the Pueblo of Laguna Indian 
Reservation of New Mexico is declared an acute distress area and the 
donation of feed grain owned by the CCC is authorized 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 September 22, 1994, and shall be made available through December 
20, 1994, or such other date as may be stated in a notice issued by the 
Executive Vice President, CCC.

    Signed at Washington, DC, on December 23, 1994.
Bruce R. Weber,
Acting Executive Vice President, Commodity Credit Corporation.
