determined that he will develop a

not meet as a group, provide consensus

of persons to serve as scientific peer
reviewers.
All persons who have the necessary
minimum qualifications will be
included in the standing pool of
potential peer reviewers. These persons
will be included in the standing pool of
potential peer reviewers for 3 years
unless they request in writing to be
removed. After 3 years persons may be

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) within the U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS), has prepared a Draft
Environmental Assessment (Draft EA) to
assess the potential impacts associated
with the implementation of the CDC
Chamblee Campus 2025 Master Plan
(Master Plan) for HHS/CDC’s Chamblee
Campus located at 4770 Buford
Highway, Chamblee, Georgia. An update
to the previous Master Plan was
prepared to guide the future
development of the Chamblee Campus
for the planning horizon of 2017 to
2025, corresponding to the growing
research needs in support of HHS/CDC’s
mission, and the specific requirements
of its component organizations.
HHS/CDC analyzed two alternatives
in the Draft EA: The Proposed Action
and the No Build Alternative. The
Proposed Action assessed in the Draft
EA is the implementation of the CDC
Chamblee Campus 2025 Master Plan
(Master Plan). The Master Plan provides
a framework for future growth on the
Chamblee Campus in order to ensure
that the campus can support HHS/CDC’s
mission and to guide strategic decisions
about the allocation of Federal
resources. The Master Plan identifies a
number of potential improvements to be
completed through the 2025 timeframe,
and establishes design and planning
guidelines. Improvements proposed
under the Master Plan include new
laboratory construction, new office
building construction, parking
expansion, off-campus office
consolidation and additional
infrastructure upgrades.
The No Build Alternative represents
continued operation of the existing
facilities at the Chamblee Campus
without any new construction or major
building additions over the planning
period from 2017 to 2025. Under the No
Build Alternative, two existing
buildings and three trailers on the
campus would be demolished. The
employee population at the Chamblee
Campus is projected to increase by
approximately 367 new occupants
under the No Build Alternative due to
potential background growth of existing
Campus programs.
