SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the September 7, 2006 Federal Register
(71 FR 52761-52764), we requested applications for designation to
provide official services in the geographic areas assigned to the

2006.
Champaign, Detroit, Eastern Iowa, Enid, Keokuk, Michigan, Midsouth
and Omaha were the sole applicants for designation to provide official
services in the entire area currently assigned to them, so GIPSA did
not ask for additional comments on them.
We evaluated all available information regarding the designation
criteria in Section 7(f)(1)(A) of USGSA (7 U.S.C. 79(f)) and Section
7(f)(1)(B), determined that Champaign, Detroit, Eastern Iowa, Enid,
Keokuk, Michigan and Omaha are able to provide official services in the
geographic areas specified in the September 7, 2006 Federal Register,
for which they applied. These designation actions to provide official
services are effective April 1, 2007, and terminate March 31, 2010, for
