Notice of Availability To Distribute a
Final Environmental Impact Statement
(FEIS) for the Construction of a New
Land Port of Entry in International
Falls, MN
Public Buildings Service,
General Services Administration (GSA).
ACTION: Notice of availability.
AGENCY:
The GSA announces its intent
to distribute a FEIS under the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of
1969 to assess the potential impacts
from the construction and operation of
a new land port of entry (LPOE) in
International Falls, Minnesota (the
‘‘Proposed Action’’).
DATES: October 14, 2011.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Donald R. Melcher, Jr., GSA Public
Buildings Service, Great Lakes Region,

donald.melcher@gsa.gov.
SUMMARY:
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
At the request of Customs and Border
Protection, the GSA is proposing to
construct and operate a larger and
improved LPOE which meets their
needs and the design requirements of
the GSA.
The existing facilities are undersized
and functionally obsolete and,

consequently, incapable of providing
the level of security required. The
Proposed Action includes: (a)
Acquisition of adjoining land; (b)
demolition of existing government
structures at the existing LPOE; (c)
construction of a main administration
building and ancillary support
buildings; and (d) incorporation of the
principles of sustainable design through
the Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design Green Building
Rating System of the U.S. Green
Building Council.
Alternatives studied include
alternative locations and layouts for the
components of the LPOE that are
identified in the concurrent Feasibility
Study including the main
administration and ancillary support
buildings, the associated transportation
network, and parking. A no-build
alternative also is being studied that
evaluates the consequences of not
constructing and operating the LPOE.
This alternative is included to provide
a basis for comparison to the action
alternatives described above as required
by the NEPA regulations (40 CFR
1002.14(d)).
The GSA announced the availability
of the Draft EIS for the International
Falls LPOE Improvements Study on
January 14, 2010. A 45-day comment
period immediately followed, during
which the GSA invited Federal, State
and local agencies, organizations and
individuals to submit comments on the
Draft EIS. A public hearing was held at
the Rainy River Community College on
January 27, 2010 and a transcript of the
hearing was prepared. An advertisement
for the public hearing appeared in
International Falls’ The Daily Journal on
two occasions prior to the hearing and
advertisements for the public hearing
were placed at Boise, Inc., and other
prominent locations. Two attendees
offered substantive comments during
the public hearing. The public hearing
was preceded by an open house to allow
attendees to view plans of the build
alternatives in detail, review the Draft
EIS and discuss its content with the
GSA, and ask questions. The GSA
received eight comment letters and one
comment e-mail copies which are
contained in the FEIS along with
responses to the substantive comments.
After careful consideration of the
comments received on the Draft EIS, the
GSA identified Alternative 10 as best
satisfying the proposed action’s purpose
and programmatic needs and has the
least impact on the human and natural
environment. Alternative 10 is
identified as the Preferred Alternative in
the FEIS and in the Record of Decision
(ROD) subject also to Congressional

authorization and appropriation of
availability of funds, GSA control of the
site to complete archaeological
investigations and continuity of the
tenant agencies’ Program of
Requirements as they were understood
at the time this study was completed.
Following this thirty (30) day notice
in the Federal Register, the GSA will
issue a ROD at which time its
availability will be announced in the
Federal Register and local media.
II. Distribution
Copies of the FEIS are being
distributed to select stakeholders as well
as being made available for public
review at the International Falls Public
Library, Chamber of Commerce Offices,

proposed collection of information,
including each proposed extension of an
existing collection of information, and
to allow 60 days for public comment in
response to the notice. This notice

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal
agencies must obtain approval from the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for each collection of
information they conduct or sponsor.
‘‘Collection of information’’ is defined
in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) and includes agency request
or requirements that members of the
public submit reports, keep records, or
provide information to a third party.
Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) requires Federal
agencies to provide a 60-day notice in
the Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information,
including each proposed extension of an
existing collection of information,
before submitting the collection to OMB
for approval. To comply with this
requirement, AoA is publishing notice
of the proposed collection of
information set forth in this document.
With respect to the following collection
of information, AoA invites comments
on: (1) Whether the proposed collection
of information is necessary for the
proper performance of AoA’s functions,
including whether the information will
have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of
AoA’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (4) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
when appropriate, and other forms of
information technology. The Aging and
Disability Resource Center (ADRC)
Program is a collaborative effort of the
Administration on Aging (AoA) and the
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services (CMS). ADRCs target services
to the elderly and individuals with
physical disabilities, serious mental
illness, and/or developmental/
intellectual disabilities. The ultimate
goal of the ADRCs is to serve all
individuals with long-term care needs
regardless of their age or disability. The
statutory authority for the ADRC grant
program is contained in Titles II and IV
of the Older Americans Act (OAA) (42
U.S.C. 3032), as amended by the Older
Americans Act Amendments of 2006,
Public Law 109–365. (Catalog of Federal
Domestic Assistance 93.048, Title IV
Discretionary Projects). 42 U.S.C. 3017
specifies that the Assistant Secretary for
PO 00000
Frm 00024
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Aging ‘‘shall measure and evaluate the
impact of all programs authorized by
this chapter * * * Evaluations shall be
conducted by persons not immediately
involved in the administration of the
program or project evaluated.’’ This new
collection of information is necessary to
determine the overall effect of ADRCs
on both long term support and service
systems and individuals. AoA will
gather information about how ADRCs
provide services and whether
consumers, who access ADRCs, as
compared to consumers who access
other systems, report that the experience
is more personalized, consumerfriendly, streamlined, and efficient. Staff
of the Administration on Aging’s Office
of Program Innovation and
Demonstration will use the information
to both determine the value of the ADRC
model and to improve program
operations. The evaluation will include
both process and outcome components.
The Agency Data Collection Tool
requests respondents’ names and
contact information to allow the
research team to contact potential
respondents. The Personal Experience
Survey will collect information about
consumers’ level and type of disability,
and demographic characteristics
including race and living status.
Respondents will be asked to provide
their Medicare and/or Medicaid
identification numbers to allow for
analysis of the effect of the ADRC
program on heath care utilization and
nursing home diversion. The proposed
data collection tools may be found on
the AoA Web site: [INSERT WEB
ADDRESS WHEN DETERMINED]. AoA
estimates the burden of this collection at
1,732 hours for individuals and 1,294
hours for organizations—Total Burden
for Study 3,026.
