The public scoping meeting date is:
Tuesday, September 12, 2017, from 6:30
p.m. to 8:30 p.m., Eastern Daylight Time
(EDT).
ADDRESSES: CHI Center, 10501 New
Hampshire Avenue, Silver Spring,
Maryland 20903.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Paul
Gyamfi, GSA, National Capital Region,
Public Buildings Service, Office of
Planning and Design Quality, at 202–
440–3405. Please contact this number if
special assistance is needed to attend
and participate in the scoping meeting.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: GSA
intends to prepare an Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS) to analyze the
potential impacts resulting from the
proposed Master Plan to support the
FDA Headquarters consolidation at the
Federal Research Center (FRC) at White
Oak, located in Silver Spring, Maryland.
Scoping Process
Background
A public scoping meeting will be held
on Tuesday, September 12, 2017, from
6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., EDT. The
meeting will be an informal open house
along with a brief presentation, where
visitors may come, receive information,
and give comments. GSA is publishing
notices in the Washington Post,
Montgomery County Sentinel, and
Prince George’s Sentinel announcing the
meeting.
In 1997, GSA completed an EIS that
analyzed the impacts from the
consolidation of 5,975 FDA employees
at the FRC. In 2005, GSA completed a
Supplemental Environmental Impact
Statement (SEIS) that analyzed the
impacts of increasing the number of
employees from 5,947 to 7,720 and the
impacts of adding a new eastern access
entrance point into the FRC. In 2009,
GSA completed its second SEIS that
analyzed the impacts of increasing the
number of employees (from 7,720 to
8,889) needed to conduct the complex
and comprehensive reviews mandated
by new legislation. To accommodate
future growth and further consolidate
FDA operations, GSA is preparing an
EIS to assess the impacts of an employee
population increase, of up to an
approximately 18,000 employees, over a
period of 15 years.
The purpose of the proposed action is
to provide a Master Plan for the FDA
Campus at FRC to accommodate the
projected growth. The need for the
proposed action is to continue to
support the FDA Headquarters
consolidation at FRC, and provide the
necessary office and laboratory space, in
order to conduct the complex and
comprehensive reviews mandated by
Congress.

Alternatives Under Consideration
GSA will analyze a range of
alternatives (including the no action
alternative) for the proposed Master
Plan of the FDA Headquarters, to
increase the campus population by up
to an approximately 18,000 employees
over 15 years. As part of the EIS, GSA
will study the impacts of each
alternative on the human environment.

In accordance with NEPA, a scoping
process will be conducted to aid in
determining the alternatives to be
considered and the scope of issues to be
addressed, as well as for identifying the
significant issues related to the
proposed Master Plan. Scoping will be
accomplished through a public scoping
meeting, direct mail correspondence to
potentially interested persons, agencies,
and organizations, and meetings with
agencies having an interest in the
Master Plan. It is important that Federal,
regional, State, and local agencies, and
interested individuals take this
opportunity to identify environmental
concerns that should be addressed
during the preparation of the Draft EIS.
Public Scoping Meeting
Written Comments
Agencies and the public are
encouraged to provide written
comments on the scoping issues in
addition to, or in lieu of, giving their
comments at the public scoping
meeting. Written comments regarding
the environmental analysis for the
proposed Master Plan must be

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (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. The term ‘‘collection of
information’’ is defined in 44 U.S.C.
3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) and
includes agency requests 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 publish a 30-day notice in the
Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information,
including each proposed extension or
reinstatement of an existing collection
of information, before submitting the
collection to OMB for approval. No
comments were received in response to
the 60-day comment period. To comply
with this requirement, CMS is
publishing this notice that summarizes
the following proposed collection(s) of
information for public comment:
1. Type of Information Collection
Request: Revision of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Disclosure of
State Rating Requirements; Use: The
final rule ‘‘Patient Protection and
Affordable Care Act; Health Insurance
Market Rules; Rate Review’’ implements
sections 2701, 2702, and 2703 of the
Public Health Service Act (PHS Act), as
added and amended by the Affordable
Care Act, and sections 1302(e) and
1312(c) of the Affordable Care Act. The
rule directs that states submit to CMS
certain information about state rating
and risk pooling requirements for their
individual, small group, and large group
markets, as applicable. Specifically,
states will inform CMS of age rating
ratios that are narrower than 3:1 for
adults; tobacco use rating ratios that are
narrower than 1.5:1; a state-established
uniform age curve; geographic rating
areas; whether premiums in the small
and large group market are required to
be based on average enrollee amounts
(also known as composite premiums);
and, in states that do not permit any
rating variation based on age or tobacco
use, uniform family tier structures and

corresponding multipliers. In addition,
states that elect to merge their
individual and small group market risk
pools into a combined pool will notify
CMS of such election. This information
will allow CMS to determine whether
state-specific rules apply or Federal
default rules apply. It will also support
the accuracy of the Federal risk
adjustment methodology. Form Number:
