SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Purpose
Supplies and services acquired under
Government contracts must conform to
the contract’s quality and quantity
requirements. FAR Part 46 prescribes
inspection, acceptance, warranty, and
other measures associated with quality
requirements. Standard clauses related
to inspection require the contractor to
provide and maintain an inspection
system that is acceptable to the
Government; gives the Government the
right to make inspections and test while
work is in process; and requires the
contractor to keep complete, and make
available to the Government, records of
its inspection work.
Public comments are particularly
invited on: Whether this collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of functions of the FAR,
and whether it will have practical
utility; whether our estimate of the
public burden of this collection of
information is accurate, and based on
valid assumptions and methodology;
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and ways in which we can
minimize the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond, through the use of appropriate
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.

B. Annual Reporting Burden
An upward adjustment is being made
to the previously approved estimated
annual burden. The change is based on
calculating the burden for each clause in
FAR Part 46 associated with this
information collection requirement. In
addition, the Government considered
the information collected under this
requirement to be records kept as a part
of a contractor’s normal business
operations, and the Government will
only request to see the records a limited
number of times per year for each
contractor.

A Final Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS) and Record of Decision
(ROD) were published in September
2009 that addressed the reconfiguration
and expansion of the San Ysidro LPOE
in three independent construction
phases to improve overall capacity and
operational efficiency. Phase I is fully
funded and included the construction of
additional northbound vehicle lanes
and inspection facilities, a pedestrian
bridge, and a new southbound
pedestrian crossing facility on the east
side of the LPOE. To date, the
pedestrian bridge and southbound
crossing facility have been constructed.
Phase II would involve the construction
of new buildings. Phase III would
include construction of a southbound
roadway and associated inspection
equipment, as well as the addition of a
new southbound pedestrian crossing on
the west side of the LPOE at Virginia
Avenue.
The SEIS will address design changes
to Phase III of the project, which include
modifications to the number of vehicle
lanes on the proposed southbound
roadway and the incorporation of
northbound pedestrian inspections at
the proposed pedestrian crossing facility
on the west side of the LPOE.
Alternatives Under Consideration
SUMMARY: Pursuant to the requirements
of the National Environmental Policy
Act of 1969 (NEPA), the Council on
Environmental Quality Regulations (40
CFR parts 1500–1508), and the GSA
Public Buildings Service NEPA Desk
Guide, GSA is issuing this notice to
advise the public that a Supplemental
Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS)
will be prepared for the San Ysidro
LPOE Modernization and Expansion
Project (Project).

scoping meeting.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: GSA
intends to prepare a SEIS to analyze the
potential impacts resulting from
proposed modifications and design
changes to the San Ysidro LPOE
Improvements Project. The San Ysidro
LPOE is located along Interstate 5 at the
United States-Mexico border in the San
Ysidro community of San Diego,
California.
PO 00000
Background
Two build alternatives and one no
build alternative are under
consideration. The No Build Alternative
assumes that no additional
improvements would be constructed at
the LPOE, and the LPOE would
continue to operate under its current
configuration.
Alternative 1 would include the
northbound/southbound pedestrian
crossing at Virginia Avenue and six
southbound vehicular lanes on the
proposed southbound roadway that
would connect the terminus of Interstate
5 to the El Chaparral LPOE in Mexico.
Alternative 2 would include the
northbound/southbound pedestrian
crossing facility and 10 southbound
vehicle lanes on the proposed
southbound roadway.
Scoping Process
Scoping will be accomplished
through a public scoping meeting, direct
mail correspondence to appropriate
federal, state, and local agencies, and to
private organizations and citizens who
have previously expressed or are known
to have an interest in the Project. A
public scoping meeting will be held on
Thursday, May 9, 2013 from 4:30 p.m.

Jkt 229001
under the Federal Advisory Committee
Act (FACA), a charter was filed with the
Committee Management Secretariat in
the General Services Administration
(GSA), the appropriate committees in
the Senate and U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Library of
Congress to establish the Committee as
a discretionary federal advisory
committee.
The purpose of the Discretionary
Advisory Committee on Heritable
Disorders in Newborns and Children
(DACHDNC) is to advise the Secretary of
Health and Human Services about
aspects of newborn and childhood
screening and technical information for
the development of policies and
priorities that will enhance the ability of
the State and local health agencies to
provide for newborn and child
screening, counseling and health care
services for newborns and children
having, or at risk for, heritable
disorders. The DACHDNC will review
and report regularly on newborn and
childhood screening practices,
recommend improvements for newborn
and childhood screening programs, as
well as fulfill the list of requirements
stated in the original authorizing
legislation.
II. Structure
The Committee consists of fifteen (15)
voting members, including the Chair.
The members of the Committee were
appointed by the Secretary. Membership
is composed of the Chair, Special
Government Employees (SGEs) and
federal ex-officio members. Federal exofficio members include the
Administrator of the Health Resources
and Services Administration; the
Directors of the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention; the National
Institutes of Health; the Agency for
Healthcare Research and Quality; and
the Commissioner of the Food and Drug
Administration—or their designees. The
Chair and other members are (a)
medical, technical, public health or
scientific professionals with special
expertise in the field of heritable
disorders or in providing screening,
counseling, testing, or specialty services
for newborns and children at risk for
heritable disorders; (b) experts in ethics
and heritable disorders who have
worked and published material in the
area of public health and genetic
conditions; and (c) members from the
public sector who have expertise, either
professional or personal, about or
concerning heritable disorders in order
to achieve a fairly balanced
membership.
