Science and Technology Directorate;
Notice of Availability (NOA) for the
Draft Environmental Impact Statement
(DEIS) for the proposed National Bio
and Agro-Defense Facility (NBAF)
Science and Technology
Directorate (Office of National
Laboratories within the Office of
Research), DHS.
ACTION: Notice of Availability of the
Draft Environmental Impact Statement
for the National Bio and Agro-Defense
Facility (NBAF).
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Proposed Action to site,
build, and construct the National Bio
and Agro-Defense Facility (NBAF)
would allow researchers to study
foreign animal diseases (FAD) and
zoonotic diseases (transmitted from
animals to humans) for basic research,
improving diagnostic tests, and
developing effective vaccines and other
countermeasures such as antiviral
therapies. DHS anticipates that the
NBAF would focus biosafety level 3
agricultural (BSL–3Ag) research on
African swine fever, classical swine
fever, contagious bovine
pleuropneumonia, foot and mouth
disease (FMD), Japanese encephalitis,
and Rift Valley fever (RVF), as well as
BSL–4 research on Hendra and Nipah
viruses. The NBAF would be
approximately 500,000 to 520,000
square feet and consist of a primary
laboratory building with a vaccine
development laboratory adjacent or
contiguous to it. The primary research
building would contain the BSL–2,
BSL–3E, BSL–3Ag, and BSL–4
laboratories with their associated
support spaces. The other laboratory
building would be a current good
manufacturing practice (cGMP)
laboratory adjacent to the primary

research laboratory. The cGMP
laboratory would be needed for vaccine
candidate production. Other out
buildings would be considered ancillary
and necessary to support operation of
the NBAF. Those buildings would
include a guardhouse, transshipping
facility, and central utility plant.
DATES: The comment period for the
DEIS will end 60 days after publication
of the NOA in the Federal Register by
the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency.
ADDRESSES: To obtain a copy of the
DEIS, ask questions, or submit written
comments, contact Department of
Homeland Security; Science and

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: All
comments, both oral and written,
received during this 60 day public
comment period will be given equal
consideration when finalizing the NBAF
EIS. Comments may be submitted at the
public meetings or online at https://

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Consultation between DHS and the
United States Department of Agriculture
(USDA) on a coordinated biodefense
strategy called for in Homeland Security
Presidential Directives 9 and 10 have
revealed a gap that must be filled by an
integrated research, development, test,
and evaluation (RD&T) infrastructure for
combating bio and agro terrorism
threats. DHS S&T is responsible for
filling this gap in a safe, secure, and
environmentally sound manner. The
proposed NBAF is envisioned to
provide the nation with the first
integrated agricultural zoonotic disease
and animal health RD&T facility with
the capability to address threats from
high consequence zoonotic disease
agents and foreign animal diseases.
DHS intends to select a single site for
the construction of the NBAF. The
NBAF DEIS analyzes six action
alternatives as well as the No Action
Alternative. The six action alternatives
include construction and operation of
the proposed NBAF at one of the
following six site alternatives: (1) South
Milledge Avenue Site; Athens, Georgia;
(2) Manhattan Campus Site; Manhattan,
Kansas; (3) Flora Industrial Park Site;
Flora, Mississippi; (4) Plum Island Site;
Plum Island, New York; (5) Umstead
Research Farm Site; Butner, North
Carolina; and (6) Texas Research Park
VerDate Aug<31>2005
18:47 Jun 26, 2008
Jkt 214001
Site; San Antonio, Texas. Under the No
Action Alternative, the NBAF would not
be constructed and DHS would continue
to use the Plum Island Animal Disease
Center with necessary investments in
facility upgrades, replacements, and
repairs so that it could continue to
operate at its current capability, but not
the expanded mission requirements
associated with the NBAF.
DHS has not identified a Preferred
Alternative. The evaluation conducted
during the NEPA process will be used
in conjunction with other factors to
assist DHS in selecting the proposed
federal action. Additional studies are
being performed concurrently with this
EIS that will provide important
decision-making information. Results of
these studies will be used in the
development of the Final EIS and the
Record of Decision (ROD). In order to
make these decisions and formulate the
ROD, the following reports will be
considered: (1) EIS, (2) Threat and Risk
Assessment, (3) Site Cost Analysis, (4)
Site Characterization Study, (5) Plum
Island Facility Closure and Transition
Cost Study; and (6) Prior analysis of the
alternative sites against DHS’s site
selection evaluation criteria.
The information contained in these
reports will assist DHS and USDA, a
major stakeholder in this endeavor, in
considering the protection of the public
and the environment while meeting the
need for a modern, high-security BSL–
3Ag and BSL–4 research facility with
the capabilities needed to address
potential threats to our agriculture.
Comments on the Draft EIS received
during the 60-day public comment
period will be considered in preparing
the Final EIS. Public meetings to
comment on the NBAF DEIS will be
held at various locations near each
alternative site location and in
Washington, DC. Notification of the
times and locations for the public
meetings will be published in local
news media and on the DHS Web site,

would be approximately 500,000 to 520,000 square feet and consist of a
primary laboratory building with a vaccine development laboratory
adjacent or contiguous to it. The primary research building would
contain the BSL-2, BSL-3E, BSL-3Ag, and BSL-4 laboratories with their
associated support spaces. The other laboratory building would be a
current good manufacturing practice (cGMP) laboratory adjacent to the
primary
[[Page 36541]]
research laboratory. The cGMP laboratory would be needed for vaccine
candidate production. Other out buildings would be considered ancillary
and necessary to support operation of the NBAF. Those buildings would
include a guardhouse, transshipping facility, and central utility
plant.
DATES: The comment period for the DEIS will end 60 days after
publication of the NOA in the Federal Register by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency.
ADDRESSES: To obtain a copy of the DEIS, ask questions, or submit
written comments, contact Department of Homeland Security; Science and
Technology Directorate; Mr. James V. Johnson: Mail Stop 2100;
245 Murray Lane, SW., Building 410; Washington, DC 20528.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: All comments, both oral and written,
received during this 60 day public comment period will be given equal

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Consultation between DHS and the United
States Department of Agriculture (USDA) on a coordinated biodefense
strategy called for in Homeland Security Presidential Directives 9 and
10 have revealed a gap that must be filled by an integrated research,
development, test, and evaluation (RD&T) infrastructure for combating
bio and agro terrorism threats. DHS S&T is responsible for filling this
gap in a safe, secure, and environmentally sound manner. The proposed
NBAF is envisioned to provide the nation with the first integrated
agricultural zoonotic disease and animal health RD&T facility with the
capability to address threats from high consequence zoonotic disease
agents and foreign animal diseases.
DHS intends to select a single site for the construction of the
NBAF. The NBAF DEIS analyzes six action alternatives as well as the No
Action Alternative. The six action alternatives include construction
and operation of the proposed NBAF at one of the following six site
alternatives: (1) South Milledge Avenue Site; Athens, Georgia; (2)
Manhattan Campus Site; Manhattan, Kansas; (3) Flora Industrial Park
Site; Flora, Mississippi; (4) Plum Island Site; Plum Island, New York;
(5) Umstead Research Farm Site; Butner, North Carolina; and (6) Texas
Research Park Site; San Antonio, Texas. Under the No Action
Alternative, the NBAF would not be constructed and DHS would continue
to use the Plum Island Animal Disease Center with necessary investments
in facility upgrades, replacements, and repairs so that it could
continue to operate at its current capability, but not the expanded
mission requirements associated with the NBAF.
DHS has not identified a Preferred Alternative. The evaluation
conducted during the NEPA process will be used in conjunction with
other factors to assist DHS in selecting the proposed federal action.
Additional studies are being performed concurrently with this EIS that
will provide important decision-making information. Results of these
studies will be used in the development of the Final EIS and the Record
of Decision (ROD). In order to make these decisions and formulate the
ROD, the following reports will be considered: (1) EIS, (2) Threat and
Risk Assessment, (3) Site Cost Analysis, (4) Site Characterization
Study, (5) Plum Island Facility Closure and Transition Cost Study; and
(6) Prior analysis of the alternative sites against DHS's site
selection evaluation criteria.
The information contained in these reports will assist DHS and
USDA, a major stakeholder in this endeavor, in considering the
protection of the public and the environment while meeting the need for
a modern, high-security BSL-3Ag and BSL-4 research facility with the
capabilities needed to address potential threats to our agriculture.
Comments on the Draft EIS received during the 60-day public comment
period will be considered in preparing the Final EIS. Public meetings
to comment on the NBAF DEIS will be held at various locations near each
alternative site location and in Washington, DC. Notification of the
times and locations for the public meetings will be published in local
