    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
        This action has been reviewed and determined not to be a rule or 
    regulation as defined in Executive Order 12866 and Departmental 
    Regulation 1512-1; therefore, the Executive Order and Departmental 
    Regulation do not apply to this action.
        In the April 1, 1996, Federal Register (61 FR 14289), GIPSA asked 
    persons interested in providing official services in the geographic 
    areas assigned to Mid-Iowa and Oregon to submit an application for 
    designation. Applications were due by May 1, 1996. Mid-Iowa and Oregon, 
    the only applicants, each applied for designation to provide official 
    services in the entire areas currently assigned to them.
        Since Mid-Iowa and Oregon were the only applicants, 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 Mid-Iowa and Oregon are able to provide 
    official services in the geographic areas for which they applied. 
    Effective October 1, 1996, and ending September 30, 1999, Mid-Iowa and 
    Oregon are designated to provide official services in the geographic 
    areas specified in the April 1, 1996, Federal Register.
        Interested persons may obtain official services by contacting Mid-
    Iowa at 319-363-0239 and Oregon at 503-276-0939.
    
        Authority: Pub. L. 94-582, 90 Stat. 2867, as amended (7 U.S.C. 
    71 et seq.)
