SUMMARY: GIPSA announces designation of the following organizations to 
provide official services under the United States Grain Standards Act, 
as amended (Act): Cairo Grain Inspection Agency, Inc. (Cairo); 
Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry (Louisiana); and North 
Carolina Department of Agriculture (North Carolina).

EFFECTIVE DATE: October 1, 2001.

ADDRESSES: USDA, GIPSA, Janet M. Hart, Chief, Review Branch, Compliance 
Division, STOP 3604, Room 1647-S, 1400 Independence Avenue, S.W.,

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 8, 2001, Federal Register (66 FR 13874), GIPSA asked 
persons interested in providing official services in the geographic 
areas assigned to the official agencies named above to submit an 
application for designation. Applications were due by March 31, 2001.
    Cairo, Louisiana, and North Carolina were the sole applicants for 
designation to provide official services in the entire area currently 
assigned to them, so GIPSA did not ask for comments on them.
    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 Cairo, Louisiana, and North Carolina are 
able to provide official services in the geographic areas specified in 
the March 8, 2001, Federal Register, for which they applied.
    Interested persons may obtain official services by calling the 
telephone numbers listed below.
