request by Yazoo Valley Electric Power Association to use its general 
funds to construct a headquarters facility in Yazoo County, 
Mississippi.

    The FONSI is based on a Borrower's Environmental Report (BER) 
submitted to RUS by Yazoo Valley Electric Power Association. RUS 
conducted an independent evaluation of the report and concurs with its

Procedures, 7 CFR 1794.33, RUS prepared an environmental assessment for 
the project based on the information provided in the BER.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The headquarters facility is proposed to be 
located in Yazoo City, Mississippi, on Gordon Avenue adjacent to the 
National Guard Armory. The size of the proposed site for the 
headquarters facility is approximately 25 acres of which 15 acres would 
be developed. The headquarters facility will consist of a 12,823 square 
foot building to be used for assembly, operations, administration, and 
engineering office space, a 10,800 square foot warehouse, a 9,000 
square foot shop, approximately 90 parking spaces, a fuel service 
island, a transformer storage area, and a pole storage yard.
