SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the June 16, 2006, Federal Register (71
FR 34882-34883), we requested applications for designation to provide
official services in the geographic areas assigned to the official
agencies named above. Applications were due by July 14, 2006.
There were two applicants for the Sacramento area: California Agri
and Mid-Iowa Grain Inspection, Inc. (Mid-Iowa); both are currently
designated official agencies. Mid-Iowa withdrew its application.
Frankfort, Indianapolis, and Virginia 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)(l)(A) of USGSA (7 U.S.C. 79(f)) and, according
to Section 7(f)(l)(B), determined that California Agri, Frankfort,
Indianapolis, and Virginia are able to provide official services in the
geographic areas specified in the June 16, 2006, Federal Register, for
which they applied. You may obtain official services by calling the
