SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On February 27, 2017, NCPC and the United States Department of State, Office of Foreign Missions (OFM), entered into a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) addressing how applications for the location, replacement or expansion of chanceries at the Foreign Missions Center (FMC) would be reviewed. The FMC consists of approximately 30 acres of federally owned property at the former Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Washington, DC. In the MOA, the parties granted NCPC sole authority to review applications for the location, replacement, or expansion of chanceries at the FMC. The MOA requires NCPC’s review to undergo notice and comment, and it precludes conducting the review as a formal adjudicatory proceeding. It also requires NCPC to either not disapprove or, alternatively, disapprove the application based on the application of six criteria contained in the Foreign Missions Act (FMA). Those criteria include: • The international obligation of the United States to facilitate provision of adequate and secure facilities for the foreign mission in the nation’s capital; • substantial compliance with Federal regulations governing historic preservation shall be required with respect to new construction, demolition, or alteration to historic landmarks to VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:21 Oct 06, 2020 Jkt 253001 ensure compatibility with historic landmarks and districts; • the adequacy of off-street parking or other parking and the extent to which the area will be served by public transportation to reduce parking requirements, subject to such special security requirements as may be determined by the Secretary of State (Secretary), after consultation with Federal agencies authorized to perform protective services; • the extent to which the area is capable of being adequately protected, as determined by the Secretary, after consultation with Federal agencies authorized to perform protective services; • the municipal interest, as determined by the Mayor of the District of Columbia; and • the Federal interest, as determined by the Secretary.
