AGENCY: Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service, and

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Executive Vice President, Commodity Credit Corporation 
(CCC) and the Administrator, Agricultural Stabilization and 
Conservation Service, is announcing that the reservation and grazing 
land of the Fort Totten Indian Reservation of North Dakota is an acute 
distress area and that CCC-owned feed grain will be donated to needy 
livestock owners on the reservation.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John Newcomer, Livestock Programs 
Branch, Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service, P.O. Box 
2415, Washington, DC 20013-2415, 202-720-6157.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the authority set forth in 
section 407 of the Agricultural Act of 1949, as amended (7 U.S.C. 
1427), and Executive Order 11336, notice is being given that I have 
determined that:
    1. The chronic economic distress of the needy members of the Devils 
Lake Sioux Tribe (the Tribe) of the Fort Totten Indian Reservation of 
North Dakota has been materially increased and become acute because of 
excessive rains in the summer of 1993, thereby creating a serious 
shortage of feed and causing increased economic distress. This 
reservation is designated for Indian use and is utilized by members of 
the Tribe for grazing purposes.
    2. The use of feed grain or products thereof made available by CCC 
for livestock feed for such needy members of the Tribe will not 
displace or interfere with normal marketing of agricultural 
commodities.
    3. Based on the above determinations, I hereby declare the 
reservation and grazing land of the Tribe to be an acute distress area 
and authorize the donation of feed grain owned by the CCC to livestock 
owners who are determined by the Bureau of Indian Affairs, United 
States Department of the Interior, to be needy members of the Tribe 
utilizing such lands. These donations by the CCC may commence upon May 
1, 1994, and shall be made available through May 31, 1994, or such 
other date as may be stated in a notice issued by the Administrator, 
Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service.

    Signed at Washington, DC, on May 2, 1994.
Grant Buntrock,
Administrator, Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service, and 
Executive Vice President, Commodity Credit Corporation.
