community. The respective addresses are listed in the table below.

locations in each community are shown.

excluded from the requirements of 44 CFR part 10, Environmental 
Consideration. An environmental impact assessment has not been

regulatory action under the criteria of section 3(f) of Executive Order 
12866 of September 30, 1993, Regulatory Planning and Review, 58 FR
