appropriate alternative strategy.

Programmatically, ADC has proposed

(and in some instances is already

implementing) a number of measures,

including:

• Environmental compliance training

for supervisors and managers;

• The standardization of data

collection and reporting;

• Consultation, monitoring, and

periodic evaluations; and

• An outreach element, including

publishing literature and providing

training on the application of nonlethal

wildlife damage control alternatives.

Many of the programmatic mitigation

measures will be incorporated into

ADC’s site-specific environmental

compliance documents and actions.

For possible mitigation at the local

level, the final EIS listed 24 specific

measures for consideration, for example:

• Placing greater emphasis on

nonlethal animal damage control

strategies and techniques;

• Insisting upon the use of more

human capture devices and practices;

and

• Proving nonlethal control tools to

resource managers.

The complete listing provides a menu

to which program decisionmakers may

refer in various site-specific contexts.

Conclusions

In this decision, I have determined

that:

• All currently feasible Animal

Damage Control program alternatives

have been adequately developed and

explored, although the program intends

to continue searching for other

environmentally preferable means of

achieving its mission;

• Program decisionmakers will

appropriately consider any significant

environmental impacts and the viable

alternatives developed in the final EIS

in the context of the NEPA process for

local actions;

• An environmental compliance

system, including APHIS’ new NEPA

compliance procedures and ADC’s

specific accommodation of such

procedures, will be implemented

immediately;

• ADC will use the decisionmaking

model explained in Chapter 2 of the

final EIS and will follow CEQ

regulations and the USDA, APHIS, and

ADC NEPA compliance procedures.

• A satisfactory environmental

mitigation strategy at both the

programmatic and local level has been

developed and will be implemented, as

appropriate.

Natural Resources Conservation

Service

PME–6 Southwest White Lake Shore

Protection Demonstration Project

AGENCY: Natural Resources

Conservation Service, formerly Soil

Conservation Service.

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 Soil

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 Southwest White

Lake Shore Protection Demonstration

Project, Vermilion Parish, Louisiana.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Donald W. Gohmert, State

Conservationist, United States

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

environmental evaluation of this

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, Donald W. Gohmert, State

Conservationist, has determined that the

preparation and review of an

environmental impact statement are not

necessary for this project.

This project concerns the stabilization

and protection of the southwest

shoreline of White Lake in Vermilion,

Parish. The planned project work

consists of planting emergent vegetation

in shallow water at the lake’s edge. As

the vegetation becomes established, it

will function as a buffer against the

erosive wave energy created by the wide

fetch of the lake and artificially high

water levels. Shoreline erosion rates

will be reduced and interior fresh

marshes will remain protected from

incorporation into White Lake.

The Notice of a 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 developed during

the environmental evaluation are on file

and may be reviewed by contacting

Donald W. Gohmert.

No administrative action on

implementation of the proposal will be

taken until 30 days after the date of this

publication in the Federal Register.

approval by the Secretary of Commerce

pursuant to Section 111(d) of the

Services Act of 1949 as amended by the

Computer Security Act of 1987, Public

Law 100–235.

1. Name of Standard. Open Document

Application Profile (DAP), (FIPS PUB

194).

2. Category of Standard. Software

Standard, Graphics.

3. Explanation. This Federal

Information Processing Standard adopts

the International Organization for

Standardization (ISO)/International

Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)

12064–1 International Standard Profile

(ISP) FOD112, Open Document Format:

Image Applications—Simple Document

Structure—Raster Graphics content

architecture, Part 1: Document

Application Profile (DAP). This FIPS

PUB defines three levels of

conformance, the complete specification

is in section 10.

ISO/IEC 12064–1 specifies the use of

a subset of the ODA standard and, in

this FIPS PUB, is referred to as the ODA

Raster DAP. The ODA standard is

defined in a joint ISO/IEC and

International Telecommunications

Union Telecommunication

Standardization Sector (ITU–T)

document ISO/IEC 8613–ITU–T

Recommendation T.410 Series, Open

Document Architecture (ODA) and

Interchange Format.

The ODA standard supports the

interchange of compound documents

containing up to three types of contents:

character (text), raster graphics, and

geometric graphics. Developed by

international standards organizations,

the ODA standard specifies rules for

describing the logical and layout

structures of documents as well as rules

for specifying character, raster graphics,

and geometric graphics content of

documents, thus providing for the

interchange of complex documents. The

ODA standard was developed primarily

by the ISO/IEC Joint Technical

Committee (JTC1) and ITU–T, formerly

the Consultative Committee on

International and Telegraph (CCITT).

A DAP is a functional subset of the

ODA standard and facilitates the

interchange of documents among

different document systems by

specifying the constraints on document

structure and content according to the

rules of the ODA Standard. The ODA

Raster DAP specifies an interchange

format suitable for the transfer of

formatted structured documents

between systems designed for raster

graphics applications. The documents

supported by this standard are based on

a paradigm of an electronic engineering

drawing, illustration, or other electronic

image. Within an ODA document, only

raster graphics content is allowed and

supported by this FIPS.

The ODA Raster DAP was initially

developed by an ad-hoc Continuous

Acquisition and Life-Cycle Support

(CALS) Tiling Task Group. CALS,

formerly known as the Computer-aided

Acquisition and Logistic Support, is a

Department of Defense (DoD) initiative.

The ODA Raster DAP was further

developed by vendors and users of

computer networks/systems

participating in the Open Systems

Environment Implementors’ Workshop

(OIW), and finally harmonized with the

International organizations participating

in the Profile Alignment Group for ODA

(PAGODA). Finally, it was submitted to

ISO/IEC JTC1/Special Group on

Functional Standards (SGFS) for

processing as part 1 of the ISP.
