Background
Jkt 247001
The Project is proposed in order to
improve structural safety for the public
traveling underneath the building and
for the tenants occupying the building
above the Front Street underpass,
located at 8800 Front Street in San
Diego, California. The portion of Front
Street that extends below the Schwartz
FOB is referred to as the Front Street
underpass. The existing building has
five stories of federal office building
space spanning above the roadway and
two levels of parking structure beneath
the roadway.
The EA will consider one Action
Alternative and one No Action
Alternative. The Action Alternative
would consist of structural
enhancement improvements to the
portion of the existing Edward J.
Schwartz Federal Building over Front
Street between E and F streets. Existing
columns and beams supporting the
building at the Front Street underpass
would be reinforced with new steel
beams and column support structures
and pre-cast concrete paneling.
Construction would require full and
partial closure of Front Street between
Broadway and F Street. Street closure
options during construction of the
Action Alternative are being considered
and a comprehensive Traffic Control
Plan will be prepared to address the
street closure.
The No Action Alternative assumes
that structural enhancements to the
existing building would not occur.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:

I. Background
Under the Medicare program, eligible
beneficiaries may receive covered
services in an Ambulatory Surgical
Center (ASC) provided certain
requirements are met. Sections
1832(a)(2)(F)(i) of the Social Security
Act (the Act) establishes distinct criteria
for facilities seeking designation as an
ASC. Regulations concerning provider
agreements are at 42 CFR part 489 and
those pertaining to activities relating to
the survey and certification of facilities
are at 42 CFR part 488. The regulations
at 42 CFR part 416, specify the
conditions that an ASC must meet in
order to participate in the Medicare
program, the scope of covered services
and the conditions for Medicare
payment for ASCs.
Generally, to enter into an agreement,
an ASC must first be certified as
complying with the conditions set forth
in part 416 and recommended to the
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services (CMS) for participation by a
state survey agency. Thereafter, the ASC
is subject to periodic surveys by a state
survey agency to determine whether it
continues to meet these conditions.
However, there is an alternative to
certification surveys by state agencies.
Accreditation by a nationally recognized
Medicare accreditation program
approved by CMS may substitute for
both initial and ongoing state review.
Section 1865(a)(1) of the Act provides
that, if the Secretary of the Department
of Health and Human Services finds that
accreditation of a provider entity by an
approved national accrediting
organization meets or exceeds all
applicable Medicare conditions, we may
treat the provider entity as having met
those conditions, that is, we may
‘‘deem’’ the provider entity to be in
compliance. Accreditation by an
accrediting organization is voluntary
and is not required for Medicare
participation.
Part 488, subpart A, implements the
provisions of section 1865 of the Act
and requires that a national accrediting
organization applying for approval of its
Medicare accreditation program must
provide CMS with reasonable assurance
that the accrediting organization
requires its accredited provider entities
to meet requirements that are at least as
stringent as the Medicare conditions.
Our regulations concerning the approval
of accrediting organizations are set forth
at § 488.5.
II. Application Approval Process
Section 1865(a)(3)(A) of the Act
provides a statutory timetable to ensure
that our review of applications for CMS-
