supplementary information: The environmental assessment of this 
federally assisted action indicates that the project will not cause 
significant local, regional, or national impacts on the environment. As 
a result of these findings, Homer L. Wilkes, State Conservationist, has 
determined that the preparation and review of an environmental impact 
statement are not needed for this project.
    The project purposes are to reduce damage to agricultural land and 
public utilities, and reduce damages to water quality and the fishery 
resources in Arkabutla Reservoir by sedimentation. This will be 
accomplished by reducing erosion on cropland, unstable channels and 
reducing flooding on cropland. The planned works of improvement include 
land treatment measures, 210 minor grade control (pipe) structures, 14 
road culvert stabilization sites, eight major grade control structures, 
17,000 linear feet of structural stream bank stabilization, 15,000 
linear feet of bank stabilization with vegetation, and accelerated 
technical assistance for land treatment.
    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 
[[Page 25690]] the environmental assessment are on file and may be 
reviewed by contacting Homer L. Wilkes.
    No administrative action on implementation of the proposal 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.)
