baseline existing conditions and
examines the potential growth in agency
mission, laboratory and laboratory
support space, office space and
personnel occupying the Roybal
Campus, and identifies a preferred
alternative for future development. The
preferred alternative was the result of an
extensive screening process, which
identified and evaluated a range of
conceptual development alternatives
based on future program needs, campus
constraints, and specifically developed
selection criteria. Selection criteria
included the examination of regional
and local planning policy, utility
demand, air quality, commute time,
transportation system capacity and
greenhouse gas effects.

Alternatives Considered
HHS/CDC analyzed two alternatives
in the DEIS: the Proposed Action and
the No Action Alternative. The
Proposed Action Alternative consists of
HHS/CDC’s implementation of the
Master Plan preferred alternative.
Improvements proposed under the
Master Plan preferred alternative
include new laboratory construction,
existing building renovation, parking
expansion, and infrastructure upgrades.
Under the Master Plan preferred
alternative, the new laboratory building
would contain approximately 350,000 to
450,000 gross square feet and would be
constructed on an existing surface
parking lot located in the eastern
portion of the Roybal Campus. In
addition to a new laboratory, a new
approximately 1,600 space parking deck
would be constructed just south of the
new laboratory building. Construction
of the new parking deck, along with the
new laboratory and supporting
infrastructure would eliminate an
existing surface parking and result in a
net increase of approximately 1,200
parking spaces at the Roybal Campus.
HHS/CDC anticipates that the
construction of the new parking deck
would increase the campus parking cap
from 3,300 to approximately 4,500
spaces. The employee population at the
Roybal Campus is projected to increase
by approximately 1,485 new occupants
under the Master Plan preferred
alternative in 2025.
The No Action Alternative represents
continued operation of the existing
facilities at the Roybal Campus without
any new construction or building
additions over the ten-year planning
period from 2015 to 2025. However, the
employee population at the Roybal
Campus is projected to increase by
approximately 865 new occupants
under the No Action Alternative due to

potential background growth of existing
Campus programs.
The DEIS evaluates the environmental
impacts that may result from the
Proposed Action and the No Action
Alternative on the natural and built
environment. Potential direct, indirect
and cumulative impacts of each
alternative are evaluated on the
following resource categories:
socioeconomics, land use, zoning,
public policy, community facilities,
transportation, air quality, noise,
cultural resources, urban design and
visual resources, natural resources,
utilities, waste, and greenhouse gases
and sustainability. The DEIS identifies
measures to mitigate potential adverse
impacts.
Availability of the DEIS: Copies of the
DEIS have been distributed to federal,
state and local agencies and
organizations. The DEIS is also available
online on the Federal eRulemaking
Portal: https://www.regulations.gov,
identified by Docket No. CDC–2012–

3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) and

to publish a 30-day notice in the
Federal Register concerning each

including each proposed extension or
reinstatement of an existing collection
of information, before submitting the
collection to OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, CMS is
publishing this notice that summarizes

Fraud Prevention Partnership (HFPP):
Data Sharing and Information Exchange;
Use: Section 1128C(a)(2) of the Social
Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1320a–7c(a)(2))
authorizes the Secretary and the
Attorney General to consult with, and
arrange for the sharing of data with
representatives of health plans to
establish a Fraud and Abuse Control
Program as specified in Section
1128(C)(a)(1) of the Social Security Act.
This is known as the Healthcare Fraud
Prevention Partnership (HFPP). It was
officially established by a Charter in fall
2012 and signed by HHS Secretary
Sibelius and US Attorney General
Holder. The HFPP is a joint initiative
established by the Department of Health
and Human Services (HHS) and
Department of Justice (DOJ) to detect
and prevent the prevalence of
healthcare fraud through data and
information-sharing and applying
analytic capabilities by the public and
private sectors. The HFPP collaboration
provides a unique opportunity to
transition from traditional ‘‘pay and
chase’’ approaches for fraud detection
and recovery towards a data-driven
model for identifying and predicting
aberrant activity. A central goal of the
HFPP is to identify the optimal way to
coordinate nationwide sharing of health
care claims information, including
aggregating claims and payment
information from large public healthcare
programs and private insurance payers.
In addition to sharing data and
information, the HFPP is focused on
advancing analytics, training, outreach,
education to support anti-fraud efforts
and achieving its objectives, primarily
through goal-oriented, well-designed
fraud studies. Form Number: CMS–
