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.
    In the June 1, 1995, Federal Register (60 FR 28570), GIPSA asked 
persons interested in providing official services in the Northern 
Michigan Region to submit an application for designation. Applications 
were due by June 30, 1995. Michigan, a currently designated official 
agency and the only applicant, applied for designation to provide 
official inspection services in the entire Northern Michigan Region.
    GIPSA requested comments on the applicant in the August 1, 1995, 
Federal Register (60 FR 39148). Comments were due by August 30, 1995. 
GIPSA received no comments by the deadline.
    GIPSA evaluated all available information regarding the designation 
criteria in Section 7(f)(l)(A) of the Act; and according to Section 
7(f)(l)(B), determined that Michigan is able to provide official 
services in the geographic area for which they applied. Effective 
December 1, 1995, and ending April 30, 1998, concurrent with the end of 
their current designation, Michigan is designated to provide official 
inspection services in the geographic area specified in the June 1, 
1995, Federal Register, in addition to the area they are already 
designated to serve.
    Interested persons may obtain official services by contacting
