Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 42 / Monday, March 3, 2008 / Notices
Read Applications: All applications
will be available for public inspection at
the office above during regular business
hours (7 CFR 1.27(b)).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the
September 4, 2007, Federal Register (72
FR 50654), we requested applications
for designation to provide official
services in the geographic areas
assigned to the official agencies named
above. GIPSA also asked for applicants
in the north central Texas region as
Amarillo Grain Exchange, Inc.
(Amarillo), requested that GIPSA amend
their designation by removing 19
counties from their assigned geographic
area. Applications were due by October
4, 2007.
Barton, Central Illinois, Central Iowa,
North Dakota, Northern Plains and
Plainview were the sole applicants for
designation to provide official services
in the entire area currently assigned to
them, so GIPSA did not ask for
additional comments on them.
Farwell Southwest applied for part of
the area currently assigned to them;
Maricopa, Pinal, Santa Cruz, and Yuma
Counties, Arizona. California Agri
Inspection Company, Ltd., a currently
designated official agency, applied for
designation in specific counties
designated to Farwell Southwest.
California Agri provides service in these
California counties through an
agreement with Farwell Southwest:
Merced, Madera, Fresno, Kings, Tulare,
Inyo, San Luis Obispo, Kern, Orange,
Los Angeles, Ventura, Santa Barbara,
and San Bernardino.
Plainview and Enid, both currently
designated official agencies, applied for
designation in specific counties
designated to Amarillo. Plainview
applied for designation in Cottle,
Hardeman, King, Knox, Baylor, Archer,
Stonewall, Haskell, Throckmorton,
Fisher, Jones, Shackelford, Nolan,
Taylor, Foard, and Callahan counties,
Texas. Enid applied for designation in
Clay, Wichita, and Wilbarger counties,
Texas.
In the December 3, 2007 Federal
Register (72 FR 67884), we requested
comments on the applications for
designation to provide official services
in the geographic areas assigned to
Amarillo and Farwell Southwest.
Comments were due by January 2, 2008.
GIPSA received no comments.
We evaluated all available
information regarding the designation
criteria in Section 7(f)(l) of USGSA (7
U.S.C. 79(f)) and determined that
Barton, California Agri, Central Illinois,
Central Iowa, Enid, Farwell Southwest,
North Dakota, Northern Plains, and
Plainview, are able to provide official
services in the geographic areas
specified in the September 4, 2007,
Federal Register, for which they
applied. These designation actions to
provide official services are effective
April 1, 2008, and terminate March 31,
2011, for Barton, Central Illinois,
Central Iowa, Farwell Southwest, North
Dakota, Northern Plains and Plainview.
For California Agri and Enid, the
designation to provide official services
runs concurrently with their present
designations. Interested persons may
obtain official services by calling the
