SUMMARY: Read Applications: All applications and comments will be available for public inspection at the office above during regular business hours (7 CFR 1.27(c)). SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the October 31, 2012 Federal Register Notice (77 FR 65855), GIPSA requested applications for designation to provide official services in the geographic area formally serviced by Indianapolis. Applications were due by November 30, 2012. East Indiana and Mid-Iowa Grain Inspection, Inc. (Mid-Iowa) were the two applicants for designation to provide official services in the Indianapolis, IN area. Both applied for the entire Indianapolis, IN. geographic area. In the January 15, 2013 Federal Register Notice (78 FR 2950), GIPSA requested comments on the two applications for designation to provide official services in the Indianapolis, IN area. Comments were due by February 14, 2013. GIPSA received one comment from a grain company that used East Indiana as a service provider. The commenter stated that advance notice was required for timely service and that East Indiana provided quick grades. GIPSA reviewed designation criteria in section 79(f) of the USGSA (7 U.S.C. 79 (f)) to determine the applicant better able than any other applicant to provide official services. Criteria include past performance, the stability and quality of service, cooperation with GIPSA, adequacy of resources, the cost of inspection service, the comments received, the accuracy and detail of their plans, past practices, and financial impact. After a comprehensive review of the designation criteria, GIPSA determined that East Indiana is better able than any other applicant to provide official services for the Indianapolis, IN geographical area specified in the Federal Register Notice published on October 31, 2012.

Applications were due by January 28, 2013. East Indiana, Fremont, Maryland, and Titus were the sole applicants for designation to provide official services in these areas. As a result, GIPSA did not ask for additional comments. GIPSA evaluated all available information regarding the designation criteria in section 79(f) of the USGSA (7 U.S.C. 79(f)) and determined that East Indiana, Fremont, Maryland, and Titus are qualified to provide official services in the geographic area specified in the Federal Register Notice published on December 28, 2012, and as corrected herein.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the October 31, 2012 Federal Register 
Notice (77 FR 65855), GIPSA requested applications for designation to 
provide official services in the geographic area formally serviced by 
Indianapolis. Applications were due by November 30, 2012.
    East Indiana and Mid-Iowa Grain Inspection, Inc. (Mid-Iowa) were 
the two applicants for designation to provide official services in the

    In the January 15, 2013 Federal Register Notice (78 FR 2950), GIPSA 
requested comments on the two applications for designation to provide 
official services in the Indianapolis, IN area. Comments were due by 
February 14, 2013. GIPSA received one comment from a grain company that 
used East Indiana as a service provider. The commenter stated that 
advance notice was required for timely service and that East Indiana 
provided quick grades.
    GIPSA reviewed designation criteria in section 79(f) of the USGSA 
(7 U.S.C. 79 (f)) to determine the applicant better able than any other 
applicant to provide official services. Criteria include past 
performance, the stability and quality of service, cooperation with

criteria in section 79(f) of the USGSA (7 U.S.C. 79(f)) and determined 
that East Indiana, Fremont, Maryland, and Titus are qualified to 
provide official services in the geographic area specified in the

corrected herein.
