SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The environmental assessment of this 
federally assisted action indicates that the project will not cause 
significant local, regional, or national effects on the human 
environment. As a result of these findings, Kevin Brown, State 
Conservationist, has determined that the preparation and review of an 
environmental impact statement are not needed for this project.
    The project purpose is flood prevention. The action includes 
removing or relocating two residences and acquiring flowage easements 
on approximately 425 acres in the breach inundation area of the 
structure. The Notice of a Finding of No Significant Impact (FNSI) has 
been forwarded to the Environmental Protection Agency; various Federal,

copies of the FNSI are available to fill single copy requests at the 
above address. Basic data developed during the environmental assessment 
is on file and may be reviewed by contacting Kevin Brown. No 
administrative action on implementation of the preferred alternative 
will be taken until 30 days after the date of this publication in the 
Federal Register.
