SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION: The environmental assessment 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, William J. Hartman, State Conservationist,

observe techniques utilized and results obtained.
    The 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 assessment are 
on file and may be reviewed by contacting William J. Hartman.
    No administrative action on implementation of the proposal will be 
taken until 30 days after the date of this publication in the Federal 
Register.
