Phil Youngberg via FAX at 617–565–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background: Plum Island is an 840acre island located approximately 1.5
miles off the northeast tip of Orient
Point, Long Island, New York. DHS, in
cooperation with the U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA), operates the Plum
Island Animal Disease Center (PIADC)
on the island. Plum Island is formerly
the home of the U.S. Army’s Fort Terry
and was transferred to the USDA in
1954 to establish a research facility for
foot-and-mouth disease. In 2003, Plum
Island was transferred to DHS. PIADC is
comprised of buildings, industrial
facilities and equipment, roadways,
utilities, specialized facilities,
easements, and rights of way.
Additional assets on Plum Island
include natural undeveloped land, the
Plum Island Lighthouse constructed in
1869, and buildings and structures
associated with the former Fort Terry.
DHS also owns and operates
transportation assets and a 9.5-acre
facility to support PIADC at Orient
Point, New York which includes
buildings, utilities, and ferry docking
facilities.
Statutory Authority: The purpose of
this EIS is to examine the effects
associated with the anticipated sale of
Plum Island, New York and its support
facility at Orient Point, New York
including all real and related personal
property and transportation assets (the
‘‘Property’’). The need for this proposed
action is mandated in Section 540 of the
Consolidated Security, Disaster
Assistance, and Continuing
Appropriations Act of 2009; United
States Public Law 110–329 (the ‘‘Act’’),
which directs the Secretary of the DHS
to liquidate the Plum Island asset by
directing the Administrator of the
General Services to sell through public
sale all real and related personal
property and transportation assets
which support Plum Island operations,
subject to such terms and conditions as
necessary to protect government
interests and meet program
requirements. The Act mandates the
sale as a result of the determination by
DHS to construct and operate a new
National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility
(NBAF) in Manhattan, Kansas and move
its operations from the PIADC to the
NBAF (Record of Decision dated 01/16/
2009)
Scoping and Request for Comments:
The EIS will address the potential
impacts to the environment of two

alternatives: sale of the Property (the
‘‘Action Alternative’’), and continued
Federal ownership (the ‘‘No-Action
Alternative’’). The Action Alternative
will be further refined into a series of
reasonably foreseeable land use options.
Because the federal government has no
authority to regulate future land uses, a
precise statement of the specific land
use-related environmental and
socioeconomic effects that could result
from reuse would be largely speculative.
In response to the lack of certainty
concerning future reuse of the Property,
the EIS will identify reasonable land use
options that could result upon the sale
of the Property. When the Property
leaves federal ownership, proposed uses
would be subject to local and state
environmental and land use regulation.
The primary purpose of the scoping
process is for the public to assist the
GSA and DHS in developing the EIS by
identifying important issues and
alternatives related to the sale of the
Property. Scoping meetings in Southold,
New York and Old Saybrook,
Connecticut will allocate time for
presentations by the GSA and DHS,
followed by an opportunity for the
public to comment. Land use and
development scenarios will be
developed with input from the local
community through the scoping
process. It is anticipated that these
public scoping meetings will be held in
the spring of 2010. GSA will provide
public notice of these and all
subsequent public meetings in local
newspapers approximately two weeks
prior to the event.
After the scoping is completed, a Draft
EIS will be published that identifies and
evaluates potential land use options
developed to assess impacts of the
Action Alternative. The Draft EIS will
identify potentially significant direct,
indirect, and cumulative impacts on
historical and biological resources, land
use, air quality, water quality, water
resources, and socioeconomics, as well
as other environmental issues that could
occur as a result of the Action
Alternative. For potentially significant
impacts, the EIS may identify
avoidance, minimization, or mitigation
measures to reduce these impacts,
where feasible. After the Draft EIS is
issued, there will be a 45-day comment
period. GSA will hold public meetings
in Southold, New York and Old
Saybrook, Connecticut during the
comment period to solicit input from
the public. GSA anticipates this
comment period will occur in summer
2010. After the Draft EIS, GSA will issue
a Final EIS.

Proposed Data Collections Submitted
for Public Comment and
Recommendations
In compliance with the requirement
of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 for
opportunity for public comment on
proposed data collection projects, the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) will publish periodic
summaries of proposed projects. To
request more information on the
proposed projects or to obtain a copy of
the data collection plans and
instruments, call 404–639–5960 and
send comments to Maryam I. Daneshvar,
CDC Acting Reports Clearance Officer,
1600 Clifton Road, MS–D74, Atlanta,

whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and

System Assessment (OMB 0920–0555
exp. 8/31/10)—Extension—Office of
State, Tribal, Local and Territorial
Support, Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Office of State, Tribal, Local and
Territorial Support is proposing to
extend the formal, voluntary data
collection that assesses the capacity of
local public health systems to deliver
the essential services of public health.
Local health departments will respond
to the survey on behalf of the collective
body of representatives from the local
public health system. Electronic data
submission will be used when local
public health agencies complete the
public health assessment.
A three-year approval is being sought
with the current data collection
instrument. The data collection
instrument has been valuable in
assessing performance and capacity and
identifying areas for improvement.
From 1998–2002, the National Public
Health Performance Standards Program
convened workgroups with the National
Association of County and City Health
Officials (NACCHO), The Association of
State and Territorial Health Officials
(ASTHO), the National Association of
Local Boards of Health (NALBOH), the
American Public Health Association
(APHA), and the Public Health
Foundation (PHF) to develop
performance standards for public health
systems based on the essential services
of public health. In 2005, CDC
reconvened workgroups with these
same organizations to revise the data
collection instruments, in order to
ensure the standards remain current and
improve user friendliness. There is no
cost to the respondent, other than their
time.
