Policy Act of 1969; the Council on Environmental Quality Guidelines (40 
CFR Part 1500); and the Natural Resources Conservation Service 
Guidelines (7 CFR Part 650); the Natural Resources Conservation

Conservation Service, 3737 Government Street, Alexandria, Louisiana 
71302; telephone number (318) 473-7751.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The environmental assessment of the 
federally assisted action indicates that the project will not cause 
significant local, regional, or national impacts on the environment. As 
a result of these findings, Donald W. Gohmert, State Conservationist, 
has determined that the preparation and review of an Environmental 
Impact Statement is not needed for this project.
    The project involves providing shoreline erosion protection along 
the north shore of Vermilion Bay between Oaks Canal and Avery Canal. 
This will consist of planting 27,000 linear feet of shoreline using 
smooth cordgrass transplants. The vegetation will be placed within the 
intertidal zone adjacent to the shoreline.
    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 
requests at the above address. Basic data developed during the 
environmental assessment are on file and may be reviewed by contacting 
Donald W. Gohmert.
    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: October 6, 1998.
Donald W. Gohmert,
State Conservationist.
