Policy Act of 1969; the Council on Environmental Quality Guidelines (40 
CFR Part 1500); and the Natural Resources Conservation Service 
Guidelines (7 CFR Part 650); the Natural Resources Conservation

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The environmental assessment of the 
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, Donald W. Gohmert, State Conservationist, 
has determined that the preparation and review of an environmental 
impact statement is not needed for this project.
    This plan proposes to maintain and enhance wetland loss on 7,653 
acres of combination marsh in Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana. Project 
measures include 315 linear feet of rock plug, 15,000 linear feet of 
earthen embankment, maintenance of 21,600 linear feet of overflow 
embankment, replacement of three fixed crest weirs with variable crest 
sections, replacement of one fixed crest weir, construction of one 
fixed crest weir with a barge bay, and two stabilized channel rock 
cross-sections.
    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 the 
environmental assessment are on file and may be reviewed by contacting 
Donald W. Gohmert.
    No administrative action in implementation of the proposal will be 
taken until 30 days after the date of this publication in the Federal 
Register.
Donald W. Gohmert,
State Conservationist.
