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 E:\FR\FM\27JNN1.SGM 27JNN1
