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 October 31, 1994, Federal

Register (59 FR 54428), GIPSA asked

persons interested in providing official

services in the geographic areas

assigned to Detroit, Keokuk, and

Michigan to submit an application for

designation. Applications were due by

November 30, 1994. There were four

applicants: Detroit, Keokuk, and

Michigan each applied for designation

in the entire area they are currently

assigned. Springfield Grain Inspection,

Inc. (Springfield), applied for the

portion of Keokuk’s area that includes

all of Mason County and the part of

Fulton County South of State Route 24.

GIPSA requested comments on the

applicants in the January 3, 1995,

Federal Register (60 FR 96). Comments

were due by January 31, 1995. GIPSA

received three comments supporting

redesignation of Keokuk. No comments

were received regarding Detroit,

Michigan, and Springfield.

GIPSA evaluated all available

information regarding the designation

criteria in Section 7(f)(l)(A) of the Act;

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

determined that Detroit and Michigan

are able to provide official services in

the geographic area for which they

applied, and that Keokuk is better able

than Springfield to provide official

services in the Keokuk geographic area.

Effective May 1, 1995, and ending April

30, 1998, Detroit, Keokuk, and Michigan

are designated to provide official

inspection services in the geographic

areas specified in the October Federal
