Inn Express on July 7, 2009. All public
materials presented at the open house
were made available in English and
Spanish. The purpose of the open house
was to present information about the
project and to receive input from the
public regarding concerns or issues with
the existing condition of the Otay Mesa
LPOE and the proposed action. The
public was also provided the
opportunity to comment on the project
by means of a form provided with the
fact sheet and at the open house, or
electronically via the project e-mail
address (GSAOtayMesa@parsons.com).
Comments were accepted by any of the
means described above through August
7, 2009.
Twenty-six individuals attended the
open house (excluding GSA project and
contractor staff—five individuals), with
the majority of those attending
associated with a federal, state, or local
agency. Comments were provided
during discussions about the project
with GSA and contractor staff. Written
comments were provided by three
emails and one letter. These
communications suggested that there is
a high degree of controversy
surrounding the underwriting of local
infrastructure needs associated with the
project. GSA has therefore decided to
prepare an EIS per GSA NEPA Desk
Guide (1999; Section 7.4):
Acquisition of space by Federal
construction or lease construction, or
expansion or improvement of an existing
facility, where one or more of the following
applies:
* * * The proposed use will substantially
increase the number of motor vehicles at the
facility;
* * * There is evidence of current or
potential community controversy about
environmental justice or other environmental
issues.
Dated: February 9, 2010.
Abdee Gharavi,
Program Director for Land Port of Entry.

Proposed Project: Survey of State
Underage Drinking Prevention Policies
and Practices—New
The Sober Truth on Preventing
Underage Drinking Act (the ‘‘STOP
Act’’) 1 states that the ‘‘Secretary [of
Health and Human Services] shall
* * * annually issue a report on each
State’s performance in enacting,
enforcing, and creating laws,
regulations, and programs to prevent or
reduce underage drinking.’’ The
Secretary has delegated responsibility
for this report to SAMHSA. Therefore,
1 Public Law 109–422. It is assumed Congress
intended to include the District of Columbia as part
of the State Report.

SAMHSA is developing a Survey of
State Underage Drinking Prevention
Policies and Practices (the ‘‘State
Survey’’) to provide input for an Annual
Report on State Underage Drinking
Prevention and Enforcement Activities
(the ‘‘State Report’’).
The STOP Act also requires the
Secretary to develop ‘‘a set of measures
to be used in preparing the report on
best practices’’ and to consider
categories including but not limited to
the following:
Category #1: Sixteen specific
underage drinking laws/regulations
enacted at the State level (e.g., laws
prohibiting sales to minors; laws related
to minors in possession of alcohol);
Category #2: Enforcement and
educational programs to promote
compliance with these laws/regulations;
Category #3: Programs targeted to
youths, parents, and caregivers to deter
underage drinking and the number of
individuals served by these programs;
Category #4: The amount that each
State invests, per youth capita, on the
prevention of underage drinking broken
into five categories: (a) Compliance
check programs in retail outlets; (b)
Checkpoints and saturation patrols that
include the goal of reducing and
deterring underage drinking; (c)
Community-based, school-based, and
higher-education-based programs to
prevent underage drinking; (d)
Underage drinking prevention programs
that target youth within the juvenile
justice and child welfare systems; and
(e) Any other State efforts or programs
that target underage drinking.
Congress’ purpose in mandating the
collection of data on State policies and
programs through the State Survey is to
provide policymakers and the public
with currently unavailable but much
needed information regarding State
underage drinking prevention policies
and programs. SAMHSA and other
Federal agencies that have underage
drinking prevention as part of their
mandate will use the results of the State
Survey to inform Federal programmatic
priorities. The information gathered by
the State Survey will also establish a
resource for State agencies and the
general public for assessing policies and
programs in their own State and for
becoming familiar with the programs,
policies, and funding priorities of other
States.
Because of the broad scope of data
required by the STOP Act, SAMHSA
will rely on existing data sources where
possible to minimize the survey burden
on the States. SAMHSA will employ
data on State underage drinking policies
from the National Institute of Alcohol
Abuse and Alcoholism’s Alcohol Policy
