[PBS-N01]
Notice of Availability to Distribute a
Draft Environmental Impact Statement
for the Construction of a New Border
Station Facility in Madawaska, Maine
Public Buildings Service, GSA.
Notice of Availability
AGENCY:
jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
ACTION:
SUMMARY: The General Services
Administration (GSA) announces its
intent to distribute a Draft
Environmental Impact Statement (Draft
EIS) under the National Environmental
Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, as amended,
42 U.S.C. 4321 - 4347 (NEPA) to assess
the potential impacts of the construction
of a New Border Station Facility in
Madawaska, Maine (the ‘‘Proposed
Action’’). At the request of Customs and
Border Protection (CBP), the GSA is
proposing to construct a new border
station facility which meets their needs,
and the design requirements of the GSA.
The existing facilities are undersized
and obsolete, and consequently
incapable of providing the level of
security now required. The Proposed
Action has been defined and will likely
include: (a) Identification of land
requirements, including acquisition of
adjoining land; (b) demolition of
existing government structures at the
border station; (c) construction of a
main administration building and
ancillary support buildings; and (d)
consequent potential alterations to
secondary roads.
Alternatives to be studied will
identify alternative locations for the
components of the border station
including the main administration and
ancillary support buildings, the
associated roadway network and
parking. A No Action alternative will
also be studied that will evaluate the
consequences of not constructing the
new border station facility. This

alternative is included to provide a basis
for comparison to the action alternatives
described above as required by NEPA
regulations (40 CFR 1002.14(d)).
GSA invites individuals,
organizations and agencies to submit
comments concerning the scope of the
Draft EIS. The public scoping period
starts with the publication of this notice
in the Federal Register and will
continue for forty five (45) days from the
date of this notice. GSA will consider all
comments received or postmarked by
that date in defining the scope of the
EIS. GSA expects to issue a Final EIS by
September 2006 at which time its
availability will be announced in the
Federal Register and local media. A
public comment period will commence
upon publication of the Notice of
Availability. The GSA will consider and
respond to comments received on the
Draft EIS in preparing the Final EIS.
COMMENTS: Written comments or
suggestions concerning the scope of the
EIS should be sent to David M.
Drevinsky P.E., PMP, Regional
Environmental Quality Advocate
(REQA), U.S. General Services
Administration, 10 Causeway Street,
Room 975, Boston, MA 02222; Fax (617)
565–5967.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Public Comment / Distribution:
A public comment period is intended
to provide the public with an
opportunity to present comments, ask
questions, and discuss concerns
regarding the scope of the EIS for the
Proposed Action. GSA will distribute
ten reading copies of the Draft EIS at
both the Middle / High School Library
located on 135 Seventh Avenue in
Madawaska and the Madawaska Library
located on 393 Main Street on July 21,
2006. A Public Scoping workshop will
