    CFR Part 1500); and the Natural Resources Conservation Service 
    Guidelines (7 CFR Part 650); the Natural Resources Conservation 
    Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, gives notice that an

    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The environmental assessment of the 
    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, Donald W. Gohmert, State Conservationist, 
    has determined that preparation and review of an environmental impact 
    statement is not needed for this project.
        The project will evaluate potential impacts attributed to bank 
    protection measures along the west bank of Barataria Bay Waterway. The 
    project area encompasses approximately 2,200 acres of brackish marsh 
    and open water habitat. Project features include the construction of 
    approximately 9,400 linear feet of rock bankline protection and the 
    installation of a set of two water control structures.
        The Notice of 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 collected during the 
    environmental assessment are on file and may be reviewed by contacting 
    Donald W. Gohmert.
        No administrative action on implementation of the proposal will be

    taken until 30 days after the date of this publication in the Federal 
    Register.
