States Grain Standards Act, as amended (Act), for a 1-year term, 
September 1, 2000, though August 31, 2001.

ADDRESSES: USDA, GIPSA, Janet M. Hart, Chief, Review Branch, Compliance

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 December 1, 1999, Federal Register (64 FR 67246), GIPSA 
asked persons interested in providing official services in the 
geographic area assigned to East Indiana to submit an application for 
designation. Applications were due by December 30, 1999. Since East 
Indiana was the sole applicant for designation to provide official 
services in the entire area currently assigned to them, GIPSA did not 
ask for comments on the applicant.
    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 East Indiana is able to provide official 
services in the geographic area, specified in the December 1, 1999, 
Federal Register, for which they applied. We are granting the 1-year 
designation to allow East Indiana time to complete the requirements for 
compliance with the national quality database. Interested persons may 
obtain official services by calling East Indiana at 765-289-1206.

    Authority: Pub. L. 94-582, 90 Stat. 2867, as amended (7 U.S.C. 
71 et seq.).
