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 December 1, 2000, Federal

Register (65 FR 75237), 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

December 31, 2000.

East Indiana and Titus were the sole

applicants for designation to provide

official services in the entire area

currently assigned to them, so GIPSA

did not ask for comments on them.

There were two applicants for the

Fremont area: Fremont and Sioux City

Inspection and Weighing Service

Company (Sioux City). Fremont applied

for designation to provide official

services in the entire area currently

assigned to them. Sioux City, a

designated official grain inspection

agency operating in Iowa, Nebraska, and

South Dakota, applied for designation to

provide offiical services in all or part of

the Fremont geographical area. GIPSA

asked for comments on the applicants

for providing service in the Fremont

area in the March 8, 2001, Federal

Register (66 FR 13873). Comments were

due by March 31, 2001. GIPSA received

no comments by the deadline.

GIPSA evaluated all available

information regarding the designation

criteria in Section 7(f)(1)(A) of the Act

and, according to Section 7(f)(1)(B),

determined that East Indiana and Titus

are able, and Fremont is better able, to

provide official services in the

geographic areas specified in the

September 1, 2000, Federal Register, for

which they applied.

services by calling the telephone

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

Rural Utilities Service

Georgia Transmission Corporation;

Notice of Finding of No Significant

Impact

AGENCY: Rural Utilities Service, USDA.

ACTION: Notice of finding of no

significant impact.

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that

the Rural Utilities Service (RUS) has

made a finding of no significant impact

(FONSI) with respect to possible

financing assistance to Georgia

Transmission Corporation for the

construction of 5 diesel electric

generators at the existing Egypt

Substation located just north of EgyptArdmore Road and approximately 600

feet west of Georgia Highway 21 in

Effingham County, Georgia.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Bob

Quigel, Environmental Protection

Specialist, Engineering and

Environmental Staff, RUS, Stop 1571,

1400 Independence Avenue, SW.,

Washington, DC 20250–1571, telephone

(202) 720–0468, e-mail at

bquigel@rus.usda.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The initial

construction will involve the placement

of 4, 1825 kilowatt diesels, an 8000

gallon fuel tank, 4, 2.5 million volt-amp

transformers, and a 12 kilovolt circuit

breaker with protective relaying. The

Egypt Substation will be graded and

expanded in such a manner as to allow

for the addition of one more 1825

kilowatt diesel generator should the

load on the substation increase beyond

7.3 megawatts (4 × 1825 = 7300

kilowatts or 7.3 megawatts). The diesel

generators will be constructed within

sound attenuated enclosures with

mufflers to reduce operating noise. In

addition, a buffer of vegetation will be

installed between the station and

nearest residential properties to provide

further attenuation of noise levels. The

diesels will be unmanned as they can be

operated from a remote location.

Copies of the FONSI are available for

review at, or can be obtained from, RUS

at the address provided herein or from
