SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Environmental Assessment of this 
federally assisted action indicates that the project will not cause 
significant adverse local, regional, or national impacts on the 
environment. As a result of these findings, Richard A. Gallo, State 
Conservationist, has determined that the preparation and review of an 
environmental impact statement are not needed for this project.
    The project concerns a plan for watershed protection. The planned 
works of improvement include accelerated technical and financial 
assistance to apply land treatment measures on 7,000 acres of cropland 
and install 15 animal waste management systems. Additional non-federal 
funding has been secured for restoration of 500 acres of wetlands 
(bottomland hardwoods) in the flood plain of Nahunta Swamp.
    The Notice of A 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 request 
at the above address. Basic data developed during the environmental 
assessment are on file and may be reviewed by contacting Dewey C. 
Botts.
    No administrative action on implementation of the proposal will be 
taken until 30 days after the date of this publication in the Federal 
Register.

    Dated: January 24, 1995.
Richard A. Gallo,
State Conservationist.
