GSA will be initiating related consultation under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) (16 U.S.C. 470(f) and 470(h–2), 36 CFR Part 800 [Protection of Historic Properties]) for the project.

Also, please call this number if special assistance is needed to attend and participate in the scoping meeting. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The notice of intent is as follows: SUMMARY: Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement GSA intends to prepare an EIS to analyze the potential impacts resulting from the PHCMP, which will guide the development of approximately 11.8 acres of Northwest DC property under the custody and control of GSA and occupied by the U.S. Department of State (DOS), bounded approximately by the E Street Expressway to the north; 23rd Street NW., to the east; Constitution Avenue to the South; and Interstate 66 access ramps to the west. The primary purpose of this action is to transform the properties historically known as ‘‘Navy Hill’’ and ‘‘Potomac Annex’’ into a unified federal campus that accommodates DOS’s operations and security requirements and recognizes the site’s historic character. Background The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), in coordination PO 00000 Frm 00044 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 34529 with DOS, proposes the preparation of the PHCMP to guide future redevelopment—the Proposed Action. The property consists of two adjoining federally owned historic parcels known as Navy Hill and Potomac Annex, in the Foggy Bottom neighborhood of Washington, DC. Together, these parcels constitute the site hereafter referred to as Potomac Hill. Potomac Hill is an enclosed site, approximately 11.8 acres, located at 2300 E Street, NW. and bounded by 23rd Street NW. to the east, the southern access road within Potomac Annex, and the E Street Expressway (Potomac River Freeway) to the west and north. The site is immediately west of the DOS headquarters, the Harry S Truman building, at 2201 C Street NW. GSA historically has controlled Navy Hill and its three buildings (South, Central, and East) were occupied by DOS. In 2012, GSA acquired custody and control of Potomac Annex from the U.S. Department of the Navy (Navy) in order to accommodate additional DOS offices, as DOS does not have general authority to acquire real property in the United States. At this time the Potomac Annex buildings (Buildings 1–5) are undergoing renovation for use by DOS. Purpose and Need The purpose of the proposed PHCMP is to provide GSA and DOS with a framework to guide the redevelopment of Potomac Hill into a unified federal campus that accommodates DOS’s operations and security requirements and recognizes the site’s historic character. The PHCMP is needed to meet DOS’s long-term space needs in a manner consistent with provisions of the real property transfer from the Navy to GSA on behalf of DOS. By realigning its real estate portfolio and developing a Potomac Hill Campus, DOS can improve functional operations and accommodate increased space requirements while providing a secure workplace. DOS has determined that multiple operations in non-contiguous locations result in security challenges, increased travel time, decreased productivity, and administrative inefficiencies. DOS has thus identified a critical need to realign its real estate portfolio to meet continuing space and functional mission requirements, provide a more secure workplace, and improve functional operations. Consolidation will move the agency out of multi-tenant leased locations into a centralized government facility near DOS headquarters, optimizing operations by more efficiently meeting E:\FR\FM\17JNN1.SGM 17JNN1

Department of the Interior's implementing regulations (30 CFR parts 601

requirements from the Bureau of Land Management, Department of the 
Interior.
    FAR 8.5, Acquisition of Helium, and the clause 52.208-8 Required

provide to the Contracting Officer the following data within 10 days 
after the Contractor or subcontractor receives a delivery of helium 
from a Federal helium supplier; (i) The name of the supplier; (ii) The 
amount of helium purchased; (iii) The delivery date(s); and (iv) the

enforcement of the requirements of the Helium Act and the contractual 
provisions requiring the use of Government helium by agency 
contractors.
    The information is used in administration of certain Federal 
contracts to ensure contractor compliance with contract clauses. 
Without the information, the required use of Government helium cannot
