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

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

no information leading to a contrary
finding is received or comes to light
during this period.

ACTION: Request for Public Comment.
AGENCY:
The Office of Community
Services (OCS) is requesting an
extension for the collection and
reporting of 2020 administrative
household data for state LIHEAP
grantees’ LIHEAP recipients. OMB
approved the original collection under
#0970–0486.
DATES: Comments due within 60 days of
publication. In compliance with the
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.
ADDRESSES: Copies of the proposed
collection of information can be
obtained and comments may be
forwarded by emailing infocollection@

information collection is to provide data
that will allow OCS to identify LIHEAP
recipients that respond to the upcoming
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
to identify LIHEAP recipients that
participated in the 2015 RECS. ACF is

Desk Guide, and the regulations issued
by the Council on Environmental
Quality (CEQ; 40 CFR parts 1500 to

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
in the RECS sample.
The following are the specific data
items grantees will report for each
household:
• Name
• Address (including ZIP code)
• Gross Income
• Household or Client ID
• Household Size
• Heating assistance awarded
• Amount of heating assistance
• Date of heating assistance
• Cooling assistance awarded
• Amount of cooling assistance
• Date of cooling assistance
• Crisis Assistance awarded
• Amount of crisis assistance
• Date of crisis assistance
• Other Assistance awarded
• Amount of other assistance
• Date of other assistance
• Presence of children 5 or younger
• Presence of adult 60 or older
• Presence of disabled
The following are optional data items
that grantees can provide if the data are
available in your database:
• Tenancy (i.e., own or rent)
• Type(s) of fuel used
• Heat included in rent
State LIHEAP grantees can provide
the data elements in the selected format
of their choosing.

LIHEAP grantees have existing data
systems to collect, maintain, and
analyze this data to complete annual
reporting requirements.

whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the

The Food and Drug
Administration (FDA or Agency) is
announcing the availability of a draft
guidance for industry entitled ‘‘Rare
Pediatric Disease Priority Review
Vouchers.’’ This draft guidance is a
revision of the guidance of the same title
that published in 2014. This draft
guidance provides information on the
rare pediatric disease priority review
voucher program under the Federal
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C
Act), under which FDA will award
priority review vouchers to sponsors of
certain rare pediatric disease product
applications that meet the relevant
statutory criteria. These priority review
vouchers can be used when submitting
future human drug marketing
applications that would not otherwise
qualify for priority review. Because
there exists a need for products for rare
pediatric diseases, this program is
intended to encourage development of
new drug and biological products for
prevention and treatment of certain rare
pediatric diseases.
DATES: Submit either electronic or
written comments on the draft guidance
by September 30, 2019 to ensure that
the Agency considers your comment on
this draft guidance before it begins work
on the final version of the guidance.
Submit electronic or written comments
on the information collection burden by
September 30, 2019.
