Feed Grain Donations; Spokane Indian Reservation of Washington

AGENCY: Commodity Credit Corporation, USDA.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Acting Executive Vice President, Commodity Credit 
Corporation (CCC) announces that the Spokane Indian Reservation of 
Washington 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 
Service Agency, 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 it is 
determined that:
    1. The chronic economic distress of the needy members of the 
Spokane Tribe using the Spokane Indian Reservation of Washington has 
been materially increased and become acute because of severe drought 
and high temperatures during the 1994 growing season, thereby severely 
affecting livestock feed production and causing increased economic 
distress. This reservation is utilized by members of the Spokane Tribe 
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 Spokane Tribe using 
the Spokane Indian Reservation will not displace or interfere with 
normal marketing of agricultural commodities.
    3. Based on the above determinations, the Spokane Indian 
Reservation of Washington 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 Spokane 
Tribe utilizing such lands. These donations by the CCC may commence 
upon February 2, 1995, and shall be made available through April 30, 
1995, or such other date as may be stated in a notice issued by the 
Acting Executive Vice President, CCC.

    Signed at Washington, DC, on March 1, 1995.
Bruce R. Weber,
Acting Executive Vice President, Commodity Credit Corporation.
