SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The notice of intent is as follows: Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement for the Proposed Master Plan for the Redevelopment of the St. Elizabeths West Campus in Southeast Washington, DC The General Services Administration intends to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to analyze the potential impacts resulting from adoption and implementation of a Master Plan to redevelop the St. Elizabeths (St. Es) West Campus in Southeast Washington, DC. GSA’s primary purpose for this proposed action is to develop secure office space in the District of Columbia to accommodate substantial Federal operations. Background The St. Es West Campus, formerly a mental health facility, consists of 176 acres and 61 buildings constructed between the 1850s and the 1960s. The buildings contain approximately 1.1 million gross square feet of space. The entire site, including the brick wall running along Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue, is a National Historic Landmark. The St. Es West Campus also contains a Civil War cemetery. From 1953 to December 2004, St. Es West Campus was controlled by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). GSA has identified a need to redevelop the West Campus because (i) there is an immediate need for secure Federal office space in the National Capital Region; (ii) the site is within the District of Columbia boundary and proximate to the Central Employment Area (CEA); and (iii) the existing site is currently underutilized. To implement this redevelopment, GSA is preparing a Master Plan that will guide the long-term use and redevelopment of the St. Es West Campus. PO 00000 Frm 00091 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 33145 Alternatives Under Consideration GSA will analyze a range of Master Plan alternatives for the St. Es West Campus. In addition, as required by NEPA, GSA will study the no action alternative under which a Master Plan will not be adopted and the site will remain in its current state. As part of the EIS, GSA will study the impacts of each alternative on the human environment. Scoping Process In accordance with NEPA, a scoping process will be conducted to (i) aid in determining the alternatives to be considered and the scope of issues to be addressed, and (ii) identify the significant issues related to the proposed Master Plan for the redevelopment of the St. Es West Campus. Scoping will be accomplished through a public scoping meeting, direct mail correspondence to potentially interested persons, agencies, and organizations, and meetings with agencies having an interest in the proposed Master Plan. It is important that Federal, regional, and local agencies, and interested individuals and groups take this opportunity to identify environmental concerns that should be addressed during the preparation of the Draft EIS. GSA is also using the NEPA scoping process to facilitate consultation with the public under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (36 CFR Part 800 [Protection of Historic Properties]). GSA welcomes comments from the public to ensure that it takes into account the effects of its action on historic and cultural resources.

The meeting will be an informal open house, where visitors may come, receive information, and give comments. GSA will publish notices in the Washington Post, Washington Times, and a local community newspaper announcing this meeting approximately two weeks prior to the meeting. GSA will prepare a scoping report, available to the public that will summarize the comments received for incorporation into the EIS and Section 106 processes.

This program addresses the ‘‘Healthy People 2010’’ focus areas of Access to Quality Health Services and Cancer. Measurable outcomes of the program will be in alignment with the following performance goals for the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP): (1) To improve the quality of state-based cancer registries, (2) to increase early detection of breast and cervical cancer by building nationwide programs in breast and cervical prevention, especially among high-risk, underserved women, and (3) to expand communitybased breast and cervical cancer screening and diagnostic services to low income, medically underserved women. For women diagnosed with cancer or pre-cancer, ensure access to treatment services. 1. Research Objectives Nature of Research Opportunity The research priorities of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Cancer Surveillance Branch, within the Division of Cancer Prevention and Control, are to describe the burden of priority cancers and patterns of care among minority, rural, and other populations and to assess the quality of these data in NPCR funded cancer registries. This RFA builds on and extends the work of two patterns of care (PoC) projects conducted collaboratively by CDC and selected state cancer registries. It solicits applications in the form of cooperative agreements to utilize data from NPCR E:\FR\FM\07JNN1.SGM 07JNN1

    Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement 
for the Proposed Master Plan for the Redevelopment of the St. 
Elizabeths West Campus in Southeast Washington, DC
    The General Services Administration intends to prepare an 
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to analyze the potential impacts 
resulting from adoption and implementation of a Master Plan to 
redevelop the St. Elizabeths (St. Es) West Campus in Southeast 
Washington, DC. GSA's primary purpose for this proposed action is to 
develop secure office space in the District of Columbia to accommodate 
substantial Federal operations.

Background

    The St. Es West Campus, formerly a mental health facility, consists 
of 176 acres and 61 buildings constructed between the 1850s and the 
1960s. The buildings contain approximately 1.1 million gross square 
feet of space. The entire site, including the brick wall running along 
Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue, is a National Historic Landmark. The St. 
Es West Campus also contains a Civil War cemetery. From 1953 to 
December 2004, St. Es West Campus was controlled by the U.S. Department 
of Health and Human Services (HHS).
    GSA has identified a need to redevelop the West Campus because (i) 
there is an immediate need for secure Federal office space in the 
National Capital Region; (ii) the site is within the District of 
Columbia boundary and proximate to the Central Employment Area (CEA); 
and (iii) the existing site is currently underutilized.
    To implement this redevelopment, GSA is preparing a Master Plan 
that will guide the long-term use and redevelopment of the St. Es West 
Campus.

Alternatives Under Consideration

    GSA will analyze a range of Master Plan alternatives for the St. Es 
West Campus. In addition, as required by NEPA, GSA will study the no 
action alternative under which a Master Plan will not be adopted and 
the site will remain in its current state. As part of the EIS, GSA will 
study the impacts of each alternative on the human environment.

Scoping Process

    In accordance with NEPA, a scoping process will be conducted to (i) 
aid in determining the alternatives to be considered and the scope of 
issues to be addressed, and (ii) identify the significant issues 
related to the proposed Master Plan for the redevelopment of the St. Es 
West Campus. Scoping will be accomplished through a public scoping 
meeting, direct mail correspondence to potentially interested persons, 
agencies, and organizations, and meetings with agencies having an 
interest in the proposed Master Plan. It is important that Federal, 
regional, and local agencies, and interested individuals and groups 
take this opportunity to identify environmental concerns that should be 
addressed during the preparation of the Draft EIS.

consultation with the public under Section 106 of the National Historic 
Preservation Act (36 CFR Part 800 [Protection of Historic Properties]). 
GSA welcomes comments from the public to ensure that it takes into 
account the effects of its action on historic and cultural resources.
