ACTION: Notice of Finding of No Significant Impact.

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

SUMMARY: Pursuant to Section 102(2)(C) of the National Environmental 
Policy Act of 1969; the Council on Environmental Quality Guidelines (40 
CFR Part 1500); and the Natural Resources Conservation Service 
Guidelines (7 CFR Part 650); the Natural Resources Conservation 
Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, gives notice that an 
environmental impact statement is not being prepared for the South 
Shore of the Pen Shoreline Protection and Marsh Creation Project (BA-

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kevin D. Norton, State 
Conservationist, Natural Resources Conservation Service, 3737 
Government Street, Alexandria, Louisiana 71302; telephone (318) 473-
7751.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The environmental assessment of the 
federally assisted action indicates that the project will not cause 
significant local, regional, or national impacts on the environment. As 
a result of these findings, Kevin D. Norton, State Conservationist, has 
determined that preparation and review of an environmental impact 
statement is not needed for this project.
    The project is expected to produce a net gain of 211 acres of 
emergent marsh over 20 years. The proposed project consists of 
installing approximately 11,750 feet of foreshore rock dike and 
creating and nourishing approximately 307 acres of marsh.
    The Notice of Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) has been 
forwarded to the Environmental Protection Agency and to various 
federal, state, and local agencies and interested parties. A limited 
number of copies of the FONSI are available to fill single copy 
requests at the above address. Basic data collected during the 
environmental assessment are on file and may be reviewed by contacting 
Kevin D. Norton.
    No administrative action on implementation of the proposal will be 
taken until 30 days after the date of this publication in the Federal 
Register.

Kevin D. Norton,
State Conservationist.
