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 September 2, 2003, Federal Register (68 FR 52178), 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 October 
1, 2003.
    Champaign, Detroit, Eastern Iowa, Enid, Keokuk, and Michigan 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 Champaign, Detroit, Eastern Iowa, Enid, 
Keokuk, and Michigan are able to provide official services in the 
geographic areas specified in the September 2, 2003, Federal Register, 
for which they applied. Interested persons may obtain official services
