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 March 3, 1997, Federal Register (62 FR 9412), GIPSA asked 
persons interested in providing official services in the geographic 
areas assigned to Denver and East Indiana to submit an application for 
designation. Applications were due by April 1, 1997. Denver and East 
Indiana, the only applicants, each applied for designation to provide 
official services in the entire area currently assigned to them.
    Since Denver and East Indiana were the only applicants for the 
respective areas, GIPSA did not ask for comments on the applicants.
    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 Denver and East Indiana are able to provide 
official services in the geographic areas for which they applied. 
Effective September 1, 1997, and ending August 31, 2000, Denver and 
East Indiana are designated to provide official services in the 
geographic areas specified in the March 3, 1997, Federal Register.
    Interested persons may obtain official services by contacting 
Denver at 303-292-5361 and East Indiana at 765-289-1206.
