The Draft SEIS evaluates alternatives to
the planning concept for the 120-acre
Main Post district at the Presidio of San
Francisco identified in the 2002 PTMP,
the Trust’s comprehensive land use plan
and policy framework. The Draft SEIS
considers planning proposals that were
not anticipated in the PTMP, including
a contemporary art museum and a
lodge, and identifies Alternative 2 as the
proposed action, which is further
described in the PTMP Main Post
Update.
Interested parties have requested that
the Trust extend the public comment
period. By extending the comment
period, the Trust anticipates more indepth comments on the Draft SEIS,
which will promote a better-informed
decision on the proposed action. The
PTMP Main Post Update and Draft SEIS
can be reviewed at local libraries and
the Trust headquarters at the address
given above, and on the Trust Web site
at https://www.Presidio.gov in the Major

program.
The use of the Regional Resource
Center Monthly Report Form, (DOT F

The Counseling Information Form,

the information contained in that form
is now consolidated into the Regional

Abstract: In accordance with Public
Law 95–507, an amendment to the
Small Business Act and the Small
Business Investment Act of 1953,
OSDBU is responsible for the
implementation and execution of the
Department of Transportation (DOT)
activities on behalf of small businesses,
in accordance with Section 8, 15 and 31
of the Small Business Act (SBA), as
amended. The Office of Small and
Disadvantaged Business Utilization also
administers the provisions of Title 49, of
the United States Code, Section 332, the
Minority Resource Center (MRC) which
includes the duties of advocacy,
outreach and financial services on
behalf of small and disadvantaged
business businesses and those certified
under CFR 49 parts 23 and or 26 as
Disadvantaged Business Enterprises
(DBE).The Small Business
Transportation Resource Regional

(DBE), Women-Owned Small Business
(WOB), Small Disadvantaged Business

seek from the SBTRCs. Services and
responsibilities of the SBTRCs include
business analysis, general management

business counseling, outreach services/
conference participation, short-term
loan assistance. The cumulative data
collected will be analyzed by the

of services provided, including
counseling, outreach, and financial

agency effectiveness in assisting small
businesses to enhance their
opportunities to participate in
government contracts and subcontracts.
The Regional Center Intake Form,
(DOT F 4500) is used by the Regional
SBTRC staff to enroll small business
clients into the program in order to
create a viable database of firms that can
participate in government contracts and

can track the firm’s involvement in the
services offered by the SBTRCs. Each

individual to release the information to
the requestor or unless the information
