SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: General:
This EA is being prepared pursuant to
the National Environmental Policy Act,
42 U.S.C. 4321, (NEPA), and regulations
implementing NEPA issued by the
Council on Environmental Quality (40
CFR 1500–1508), GSA ADM 1095.1, the
GSA PBS NEPA Desk Guide and other
applicable regulations and policies. The
EA will inform GSA in its decisionmaking process. Compliance with the
National Historic Preservation Act
(NHPA), including NHPA Section 106,
and other laws and requirements, will
be coordinated with this EA process,
and government agencies that are
affected by the proposed actions or have
special expertise will be consulted,
whether or not they are cooperating
agencies. GSA is already involved in
discussions with other jurisdictional
agencies to identify their issues and
concerns. With this notice, GSA is
asking agencies with jurisdiction and/or
special expertise with respect to
environmental issues to formally
cooperate with GSA in the preparation
of the EA. These agencies may choose
to participate once they have evaluated

the proposal relative to their
responsibilities. Agencies that would
like to request cooperating agency status
should follow the instructions for filing
comments provided, above. An
independent analysis of the issues will
be presented in the EA. The EA will be
placed in the public record and a
comment period will be allotted on the
Draft EA. GSA will consider all
comments on the EA before making a
final decision.
Purpose of Notice: The purpose of this
notice is to: (1) Announce GSA’s intent
to prepare an EA; (2) announce the
initiation of the public scoping process;
(3) invite public participation during the
scoping process and at the public
scoping meeting; and (4) request public
comments on the scope of the EA,
including the potential environmental
impacts associated with the proposed
action.
Further Information on Public
Participation and Dates: The public is
encouraged to provide GSA with
specific comments or concerns about
the project. Comments should focus on
the potential environmental effects,
reasonable alternatives, and measures to
avoid or lessen environmental impacts.
In addition to the above methods for
submission of comments, those
interested may also file a paper copy of
comments, by regular mail, to Chris
Powers, GSA Region 6 NEPA
Coordinator, 1500 E. Bannister Road,
Room 2135, Kansas City, Missouri
64131 or verbally offer comments to
GSA’s Region 6 NEPA Coordinator by
calling (816) 823–5799.
Again, comments should be sent to
GSA on or before January 31, 2011. With
any comments, before including
address, phone number, e-mail address,
or other personal identifying
information in your comment, be
advised that the entire comment,
including personal identifying
information, may be made publicly
available at any time. While you can ask
in your comment to withhold from
public review personal identifying
information, GSA cannot guarantee that
it will be able to do so.
Finally, in lieu of or in addition to
sending written comments, GSA also
invites you to attend the public scoping
meeting scheduled and discussed in the
body of this notice, above. Comments
made at the public scoping meeting will
also be considered in the EA process.
State and local government
representatives are asked to notify their

Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork
Reduction Act Review
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) publishes a list of
information collection requests under
review by the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) in compliance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35). To request a copy of these
requests, call the CDC Reports Clearance
Officer at (404) 639–5960 or send an email to omb@cdc.gov. Send written
comments to CDC Desk Officer, Office of
Management and Budget, Washington,
DC 20503 or by fax to (202) 395–5806.
Written comments should be received
within 30 days of this notice.
Proposed Project
Fellowship Management System,
(OMB No. 0920–0765 exp. 2/28/2011),—
Revision—Scientific Education and
Professional Development Program
Office (SEPDPO), Office of Surveillance,
Epidemiology and Laboratory Services
(OSELS), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
SEPDPO requests an additional three
years to continue CDC’s use of the
online Fellowship Management System
(FMS), and a revision to include two
additional CDC fellowship applications
and ten additional CDC fellowship
directories. FMS allows applicants to
apply to fellowships online and tracks
fellowship applicants and alumni in one
integrated database.
FMS provides an efficient and
effective way for processing application
data, selecting qualified candidates,
maintaining a current alumni database,
documenting the impact of the
fellowships on alumni’s careers, and
generating reports. FMS reduces
duplicate applicant records as well as
agency resources to administer and

17DEN1
78996
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 242 / Friday, December 17, 2010 / Notices
process paper records. The application
process includes the following:
Submission of responses to the
questions in the online application;
submission of academic transcripts and
letters of recommendation; a review by
selected programmatic staff and panel
member experts; selection of qualified
candidates for interview; interview of
candidates; and selection of trainees for
the fellowship programs.
The online application questions ask
for academic history, professional
experience, names of references, and
description of professional goals. The
application questions and data collected
are necessary to the application process
to determine programmatic eligibility
and to ensure that the most highly
qualified candidates are chosen for the
training programs.
The alumni directory will allow CDC
to maintain a current, centralized
electronic database. Questions include
updates to include email and other
contact information, professional
responsibilities, medical certifications,
qualifications, and scientific skills in
the event that it becomes necessary to
contact alumni possessing missioncritical skills to meet a national public
health emergency or an urgent public
health need. Alumni data will also be
used by CDC to document the impact of
the fellowships on the career paths of
participants, and thus, on the science
and practice of public health, and by the
alumni for maintaining their
professional networks for finding jobs,
staffing jobs, collaborating, and
interacting with their fellow alumni.
Alumni will have two options for the
level of information they wish to be
visible to other alumni of their
fellowship. They will have the option of
displaying only their name, fellowship
year, and professional information or all
of their information. The default is to
display only their name, fellowship
year, and professional information. This
information is already in the public
domain.
The annual burden table has been
updated to reflect an increase in the
number of fellowships participating in
FMS.
The estimated annualized burden for
all nine fellowship applications is 748
hours (1,122 respondents × 40 minutes
for completing the application), and the
estimated annualized burden for all
twelve directories is 114 hours (454
respondents × 15 minutes for updating
their information). Note: Some alumni
are deceased or cannot be located.
Response burden assumes response
from an individual responding alumnus,
on average, every 3 years (which is
likely an overestimate of frequency).
There is no cost to respondents other
than their time. The total estimated
annualized burden hours are 862.

Background and Brief Description
Among the goals of the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),
National Center for Injury Prevention
and Control (NCIPC) is to reduce the
prevalence of violence among youth.
Several important priorities included in
the Center’s published research agenda
focus on studying how physical
environments influence behavior and
risk for violence. The CDC has
developed an observational tool called
the Crime Prevention Through
Environmental Design (CPTED) School
Assessment (CSA) to assess the extent to
which the physical characteristics of
schools are consistent with Crime
Prevention Through Environmental
Design (CPTED) principles. The
proposed research will allow an
assessment of the validity of the CSA by
examining the extent to which the CSA
subscales, total CSA scores, and CPTED
principles are related to fear and
violence, and related variables. If the
CSA tool is shown to measure
characteristics of the school
environment that are associated with
fear and violence-related behaviors in
