SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Notice of Intent To Withdraw Federal Assistance

    A determination has been made by Paul Johnson, Chief, Natural 
Resources Conservation Service that because of the lack of available 
land rights for dam sites 15, 16 and 17; and because of an inadequate 
benefit cost ratio; and the lack of plans to complete the project in a 
timely manner by the local sponsors, Federal funding will be withdrawn 
from this project. The sponsoring local organizations have not 
concurred in this recommendation. Information regarding this 
determination may be obtained from Rosendo Trevino III, State 
Conservationist, at the above address and telephone number.
    No administrative action on implementation of this proposed 
withdrawal of funding will be taken until 60 days after the date of 
this publication in the Federal Register.
