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 June 1, 2001, Federal Register (66 FR 29765), 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 June 30, 2001.
    Columbus, Farwell, and Northeast Indiana were the sole applicants 
for designation to provide official services in the entire area 
currently assigned to them, so GIPSA did not ask for additional 
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 Columbus, Farwell, and Northeast Indiana 
are able to provide official services in the geographic areas specified 
in the June 1, 2001, Federal Register, for which they applied. 
Subsequently, Columbus applied for additional territory in Ohio, and 
was granted designation for the area specified in the October 1, 2001, 
Federal Register (66 FR 49915.) Interested persons may obtain official
