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.
    This project proposes to reduce the erosion rates of the shoreline
at Cheniere Au Tigre by constructing a series of segmented, rock
breakwaters. This project will provide protection to approximately 75
acres of brackish marsh, upland shrub/scrub, and unpland forest against
loss.
    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.

Donald W. Gohmert,
State Conservationist.
