Notice of Availability and
Announcement of Public Meeting for
the Final Environmental Assessment
for the Edward J. Schwartz Federal

Project in San Diego, California
FAR subpart 9.2 and the associated
clause at FAR 52.209–1, implement the
statutory requirements of 10 U.S.C. 2319
and 41 U.S.C. 3311, which allow an
agency to establish a qualification
requirement for testing or other quality
assurance demonstration that must be
completed by an offeror before award of
a contract. Under the qualification
requirements, an end item, or a
component thereof, may be required to
be prequalified.
The clause at FAR 52.209–1,
Qualification Requirements, requires
offerors who have met the qualification
requirements to identify the offeror’s
name, the manufacturer’s name,
source’s name, the item name, service
identification, and test number (to the
extent known). This eliminates the need
for an offeror to provide new
information when the offeror,
manufacturer, source, product or service
covered by qualification requirement
has already met the standards specified
by an agency in a solicitation.
The contracting officer uses the
information to determine eligibility for
award when the clause at 52.209–1 is
included in the solicitation.
Alternatively, items not yet listed may
be considered for award upon the
submission of evidence of qualification
with the offer.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
AGENCY:
SUMMARY:
36927
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 880 Front Street in San Diego,
California. The portion of Front Street
that extends below the building 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 Final EA addresses the Proposed
Action Alternative and the No Action
Alternative. The Action Alternative
consists 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 in coordination with the
City of San Diego to address the street
closure.
The No Action Alternative assumes
that structural enhancements to the
existing building would not occur. The
Draft EA was made publicly available
on November 16, 2018 for a 30-day
period. The public review period closed
on December 17, 2018. The Notice of
Availability for the Draft EA was
published in the Federal Register at 83

FR 58252 on November 19, 2018. A
public meeting took place on November
28, 2018 in the Downtown San Diego
community. In preparing this Final EA,
GSA considered public comments
received regarding the Draft EA during
the public review period.
After careful consideration of the
environmental analysis and associated
environmental effects of the Proposed
Action Alternative and No Action
Alternative, the purpose and need for
the Project, and comments received on
the Draft EA, GSA will be implementing
the Proposed Action Alternative.
Finding
Basis for Finding
The environmental impacts of
constructing the proposed structural
enhancements were considered in the
Final EA pursuant to the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and
the CEQ regulations implementing
NEPA. No significant impacts on the
environment would occur with
implementation of best management
practices and avoidance, minimization,
and mitigation measures identified in
the Final EA.
The Final EA is available for review
at the San Diego Central Library, 330
Park Boulevard, San Diego, CA 92101.
The Final EA and FONSI can also be
viewed on the GSA website at https://
www.gsa.gov/real-estate/environmentalprograms/gsa-nepa-implementation/
nepa-library.
The Finding of No Significant Impact
will be signed thirty (30) days after the
publication of this notice, provided that
no information leading to a contrary
finding is received or comes to light
during this period.

requirements of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
the Administration for Children and
Families is soliciting public comment
on the specific aspects of the
information collection described above.

Residential Energy Consumption Survey
(RECS), which The U.S. Energy
Information Administration (EIA) is
planning to conduct in 2020. The EIA
conducts the RECS survey to provide
periodic national and regional data on
residential energy use in the United
States. OCS uses RECS data to furnish
Congress and the Administration for
Children and Families (ACF) with
important national and regional
descriptive data on the energy needs of
low-income households.
In 2015, state LIHEAP grantees
provided household-level recipient data

requesting no changes in the type of
data or the form of data collection for
the 2020 extension of the project. The
administrative household data already
is collected by State grantees and used
to complete the annual LIHEAP
Household Report (OMB Control No.
0970–0060) and the annual LIHEAP
Performance Data Form (OMB Control
No. 0970–0449).
The LIHEAP data collected for this
effort will be used by OCS to study the
impact of LIHEAP on income eligible
and recipient households in accordance
with 42 U.S.C. 8629(b)(2). The
information is being collected for use in
development of the Department’s
annual LIHEAP Report to Congress and
the annual LIHEAP Home Energy
Notebook. The collection of this data is
authorized by the LIHEAP statute,
which requires the Secretary, following
consultation with the Secretary of
Energy, to provide for the collection of
specific information on the
characteristics of LIHEAP recipient and
LIHEAP eligible households within each
State. This includes collecting
information that is reasonably necessary
to carry out the provisions of the
LIHEAP statute if that information is not
collected by any other agency of the
Federal Government.
State LIHEAP grantees will be asked
to furnish data for LIHEAP recipient
households that reside in areas included
