SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The SEIS for the San Ysidro LPOE
Improvements Project is intended to
supplement the Final Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS) that was adopted
for the San Ysidro LPOE Improvements
Project in August, 2009 (2009 Final EIS).
In September, 2009, GSA prepared a
Record of the Decision (ROD) that
approved the Preferred Alternative
(2009 Approved Project) that was
identified in the 2009 Final EIS.
In May, 2014, GSA adopted a Final
SEIS that evaluated changed
circumstances and proposed
modifications to the 2009 Approved
Project that identified a Preferred
Alternative that was approved by GSA
through a ROD in August 2014 (2014
Approved Supplemental Project).
In August, 2015, GSA prepared a
Revision to the 2014 Final SEIS to
document minor design changes and
provide specific information that was
not available or known at the time when
the 2009 Final EIS or 2014 Final SEIS
was prepared (2015 Revision). The 2009
Approved Project, 2014 Approved
Supplemental Project, and 2015
Revision are collectively referred to as
the ‘‘Approved Project.’’
This SEIS documents and evaluates
changed circumstances and proposed
modifications to the Approved Project
since adoption of the 2009 Final EIS and
2014 Final SEIS and preparation of the
2015 Revision. The Approved Project
with proposed modifications is referred
to as the ‘‘Revised Project.’’
The Approved Project and Revised
Project entail the reconfiguration and

Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 185 / Monday, September 24, 2018 / Notices
expansion of the San Ysidro LPOE in
three independent phases to improve
overall capacity and operational
efficiency at the LPOE. The San Ysidro
LPOE is located along Interstate 5 (I–5)
at the U.S.-Mexico border in the San
Ysidro community of the City of San
Diego, California.
GSA is proposing the following
changes to the Approved Project: A
redesign of the proposed pedestrian
plaza on the east side of the LPOE. The
pedestrian plaza would be expanded to
the north to include an additional parcel
adjacent to the LPOE. GSA proposes
acquisition of the adjacent 0.24-acre
parcel to the north that contains two
commercial buildings and incorporation
of this parcel (Additional Land Area)
into the pedestrian plaza. In addition to
these proposed changes to the Approved
Project, the Revised Project also
includes the other components of the
Approved Project that have not
changed.
The changed circumstances
associated with the Approved Project
include new information regarding the
condition of existing structures adjacent
to the LPOE that affect the ability of
GSA to implement the Approved
Project. The Approved Project
anticipated that construction of the
pedestrian plaza would require
demolition of the existing Milo Building
within the LPOE. During final design, it
was discovered that two existing
buildings adjacent to the Milo Building
on the Additional Land Area would
likely collapse when the Milo Building
is removed. The condition of these
adjacent buildings was not known at the
time the 2009 Final EIS or 2014 Final
SEIS were prepared and this changed
circumstance has bearing on the ability
to implement the Approved Project.
Due to the changed circumstances and
changes to the Approved Project, GSA
made the decision to prepare an SEIS
for the Revised Project. The purpose of
the Revised Project is the same as the
Approved Project that was identified in
the 2009 Final EIS and 2014 Final SEIS.
The purpose of the Revised Project is to
improve operational efficiency, security,
and safety for cross-border travelers and
federal agencies at the San Ysidro LPOE.
The Draft SEIS analyzes two
alternatives of the Revised Project, as
well as the No Action Alternative. Both
of the Action Alternatives include the
proposed modifications described
above, as well as the other
improvements originally proposed as
part of the Approved Project.
Alternative 1 would include demolition
of the two existing buildings within the
Additional Land Area that would be
added to the LPOE and incorporated
VerDate Sep<11>2014

into the pedestrian plaza. Alternative 2
would involve renovation/adaptive
reuse of the existing buildings on the
Additional Land Area that would be
added to the LPOE and incorporated
into the design of the pedestrian plaza
and LPOE. Under the No Action
Alternative, GSA would continue to
implement the Approved Project except
that the Milo Building would not be
demolished.
Public Meeting
The public meeting will be conducted
in open house format, where project
information will be presented and
distributed. Comments must be received
by November xx, 2018, and emailed to
osmahn.kadri@gsa.gov, or sent to the
address listed above.
