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, Patrick Wolf, State Conservationist, has 
determined that the preparation and review of an environmental impact

measures such as conservation tillage, grassed waterways, filter 
strips, animal waste facilities, cover crops, watering facilities, 
grade stabilizations, and nutrient management plans.
    The Notice of Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) has been 
forwarded to the Environmental Protection Agency and 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 Patrick Wolf.
    No administrative action on implementation of the proposal will be 
taken until 30 days after the date of this publication in the Federal 
Register.
