sroberts on DSKD5P82C1PROD with NOTICES
becomes effective upon the earlier of
your receipt of this letter or publication
of notice in the Federal Register.
Suspension is immediate pending the
Bureau’s final debarment determination.
In accordance with the Commission’s
debarment rules, you may contest this
suspension or the scope of this
suspension by filing arguments in
opposition to the suspension, with any
relevant documentation. Your request
must be received within 30 days after
you receive this letter or after notice is
published in the Federal Register,
whichever comes first. Such requests,
however, will not ordinarily be granted.
The Bureau may reverse or limit the
scope of suspension only upon a finding
of extraordinary circumstances. Absent
extraordinary circumstances, the Bureau
will decide any request for reversal or
modification of suspension within 90
days of its receipt of such request.
II. Initiation of Debarment Proceedings
Your guilty plea to criminal conduct
in connection with the E-Rate program,
in addition to serving as a basis for
immediate suspension from the
program, also serves as a basis for the
initiation of debarment proceedings
against you. Your conviction falls
within the categories of causes for
debarment defined in section 54.8(c) of
the Commission’s rules. Therefore,
pursuant to section 54.8(a)(4) of the
Commission’s rules, your conviction
requires the Bureau to commence
debarment proceedings against you.
As with your suspension, you may
contest debarment or the scope of the
proposed debarment by filing arguments
and any relevant documentation within
30 calendar days of the earlier of the
receipt of this letter or of publication in
the Federal Register. Absent
extraordinary circumstances, the Bureau
will debar you. Within 90 days of
receipt of any opposition to your
suspension and proposed debarment,
the Bureau, in the absence of
extraordinary circumstances, will
provide you with notice of its decision
to debar. If the Bureau decides to debar
you, its decision will become effective
upon the earlier of your receipt of a
debarment notice or publication of the
decision in the Federal Register.
If and when your debarment becomes
effective, you will be prohibited from
participating in activities associated
with or related to the schools and
libraries support mechanism for three
years from the date of debarment. The
Bureau may, if necessary to protect the
public interest, extend the debarment
period.

Notice of Intent to prepare an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
for the amended Department of
Homeland Security (DHS) Consolidation
Master Plan at St. Elizabeths in
Southeast Washington, DC.
GSA intends to prepare an EIS to
analyze the potential impacts resulting
from the amendment of the DHS
Consolidation Master Plan, which
consists of the development of 750,000
gross square feet (GSF) of secure office
space plus associated parking on what
is known as the north parcel of the St.
Elizabeths East Campus. The primary
purpose of this action is to complete the
consolidation of DHS mission functions
comprising the Department’s
Headquarters offices at St. Elizabeths for
a total of 4.5 million GSF of secure
office and shared use space plus
associated parking.
Background
GENERAL SERVICES
ADMINISTRATION
Notice of Intent To Prepare an
Environmental Impact Statement
AGENCY: U.S. General Services
Administration (GSA), National Capital
Region.
ACTION: Notice.
SUMMARY: Pursuant to the requirements
of the National Environmental Policy
Act of 1969 (NEPA), 42 United States
Code (U.S.C.) 4321–4347; the Council
on Environmental Quality Regulations
(Code of Federal Regulations (CFR),
Title 40, chapter V, parts 1500–1508);
GSA Order PBS P 1095.1F
(Environmental considerations in
decision-making, dated October 19,
1999); and the GSA Public Buildings
Service NEPA Desk Guide, dated
October 1999, GSA plans to prepare an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
for the amended Department of
Homeland Security (DHS) Consolidation
Master Plan at St. Elizabeths in
Southeast Washington, DC. GSA will be
initiating related consultation under
Sections 106 and 110 of the National
PO 00000
Frm 00068
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
DHS previously identified a need to
consolidate a minimum critical mass of
4.5 million GSF of secure office space,
plus parking, to meet the Department’s
mission requirements for its
consolidated Headquarters in
furtherance of developing a more costeffective, efficient, and functional real
estate portfolio in the National Capital
Region. DHS’ scattered current housing
prevents it from accomplishing its
mission. This extreme dispersion has
also resulted in significant inefficiencies
in daily operations, and these
inefficiencies have been magnified
considerably at the most important
moments—when the Department must
act as a nimble and integrated team
responding to significant natural
disasters or terrorist threats.
In response, GSA looked at alternative
locations for consolidating DHS’
Headquarters offices and concluded that
St. Elizabeths was the most viable site
for this consolidation. During
consultation under Section 106 of the
National Historic Preservation Act, as
well as with other Federal agencies, the
consolidation project was determined to
be of less impact to the St. Elizabeths
