-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: We are announcing designation of the following organizations 
to provide official services under the United States Grain Standards 
Act, as amended (USGSA): California Agri Inspection Company, Ltd. 
(California Agri); Frankfort Grain Inspection, Inc. (Frankfort); 
Indianapolis Grain Inspection & Weighing Service, Inc. (Indianapolis);

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the June 16, 2006, Federal Register (71 
FR 34882-34883), we requested applications for designation to provide 
official services in the geographic areas assigned to the official 
agencies named above. Applications were due by July 14, 2006.
    There were two applicants for the Sacramento area: California Agri 
and Mid-Iowa Grain Inspection, Inc. (Mid-Iowa); both are currently 
designated official agencies. Mid-Iowa withdrew its application. 
Frankfort, Indianapolis, and Virginia 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.
    We evaluated all available information regarding the designation 
criteria in Section 7(f)(l)(A) of USGSA (7 U.S.C. 79(f)) and, according 
to Section 7(f)(l)(B), determined that California Agri, Frankfort, 
Indianapolis, and Virginia are able to provide official services in the 
geographic areas specified in the June 16, 2006, Federal Register, for 
which they applied. You may obtain official services by calling the 
telephone numbers listed below.
