assigned to them.
Since Pocatello, Lewiston, and Utah were the only applicants for
the respective areas, GIPSA did not ask for comments on the applicants.
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 Pocatello, Lewiston, and Utah are able to
provide official services in the geographic areas for which they
applied. Effective December 1, 1997, and ending November 30, 2000,
