Download as PDF 83582 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 246 / Tuesday, December 22, 2020 / Notices Q2. Should a contractually binding mechanism relate to the provision of capital or liquidity? What classes of assets would be deemed to provide capital vs. liquidity? A2. Contractually binding mechanism is a generic term and includes the down-streaming of capital and/or liquidity as contemplated by the U.S. resolution strategy. Furthermore, it is up to the firm, as informed by any relevant guidance of the Agencies, to identify what assets would satisfy a U.S. affiliate’s need for capital and/or liquidity. Q3. Is there a minimum acceptable duration for a contractually binding mechanism? Would an ‘‘evergreen’’ arrangement, renewable on a periodic basis (and with notice to the Agencies), be acceptable? A3. To the extent a firm utilizes a contractually binding mechanism, such mechanism, including its duration, should be appropriate for the firm’s U.S. resolution strategy, including adequately addressing relevant financial, operational, and legal requirements and challenges. Q4. Not consolidated. Q5. Not consolidated. Q6. The firm may need to amend its contractually binding mechanism from time to time resulting potentially from changes in relevant law, new or different regulatory expectations, etc. Is a firm able to do this as long as there is no undue risk to the enforceability (e.g., no signs of financial stress sufficient to unduly threaten the agreement’s enforceability as a result of fraudulent transfer)? A6. Yes, however the Agencies should be informed of the proposed duration of the agreement, as well as any terms and conditions on renewal and/or amendment. Any amendments should be identified and discussed as part of the firm’s next U.S. resolution plan submission. Q7. Not consolidated. Q8. Should firms include a formal regulatory trigger by which the Agencies can directly trigger a contractually binding mechanism? A8.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SUMMARY: A. Purpose GSA has various mission responsibilities related to the acquisition and provision of supplies, transportation, information technology, telecommunications, real property management, and disposal of real and personal property. These mission responsibilities generate requirements that are realized through the solicitation and award of public contracts. Most GSA procurement-related information collections are required by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) or General Services Administration Acquisition Regulation (GSAR); each clause requiring such a collection must be individually approved by OMB. However, some solicitations require contractors to submit information specific to that contracting action, such as information needed to evaluate offers (e.g. specific instructions for technical and price proposals, references for past performance) or data used to administer resulting contracts (e.g. project management plans). This information collection is currently associated with GSA’s information collection requirements contained in solicitations issued in accordance with the Uniform Contract Format under FAR Part 14, Sealed Bidding (see GSAR 514.201–1); FAR E:\FR\FM\22DEN1.SGM 22DEN1

Muirkirk Road Campus (Prince George's County, Laurel, MD)

AGENCY: National Capital Region, General Services Administration (GSA).

ACTION: Notice of Intent to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement 
(EIS).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the requirements of the National Environmental 
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), the Council on Environmental Quality 
Regulations, GSA Order, ADM 1095.1F, Environmental Considerations in 
Decision Making, dated October 19, 1999, and the GSA Public Buildings 
Service NEPA Desk Guide, GSA plans to prepare an EIS for a proposed 
Master Plan for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) Muirkirk 
Road Campus (MRC), in Laurel, Maryland, located in Prince George's 
County. The Master Plan will provide FDA with a structured framework 
for developing the MRC over the next 20 years.

DATES: Applicable: December 22, 2020.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:  Marshall Popkin, Office of Planning 
and Design Quality, Public Buildings Service, GSA, National Capital 
Region, at 202-919-0026.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The GSA intends to prepare an EIS to analyze 
the potential impacts resulting from the proposed Master Plan to 
support the FDA MRC, in Laurel, Maryland, located in Prince George's 
County. GSA will analyze four alternatives for the proposed MRC Master 
Plan: (1) No Action Alternative; (2) Development at the Mod 1/Mod 2 
site; (3) Hybrid of Alternatives 2 and 4; and (4) Development at the 
Beltsville Research Facility site. The proposed action is anticipated 
to impact soils and topography; traffic and transit; water resources; 
vegetation; wildlife; air quality; greenhouse gases and climate; 
utilities; and waste management. No permits are required to adopt the 
Master Plan. Implementation of the Master Plan in the future could 
require the following permits and authorizations:

 Dredge or fill permit under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act
 Coastal Zone Management Consistency Determination
 State and local permits, including water and wastewater 
permits,

[[Page 83583]]

building permits, sediment and erosion control permits, grading 
permits, and stormwater management permits.

Background

    In 1981, GSA completed an EIS that analyzed the impacts from the 
construction of new laboratory space at the MRC and the consolidation 
of four facilities in the Washington, DC, metro area and other sites in 
St. Louis, MO, and Cincinnati, OH. In 1990, Congress enacted the Food 
and Drug Revitalization Act that gave GSA the authority to grant 
contracts to consolidate FDA facilities. To accommodate future growth 
and further consolidate FDA operations, GSA is preparing an EIS to 
assess the impacts of development on the MRC and an increase in the 
employee population of up to approximately 1,800 employees, over a 
period of 20 years.
    The purpose of the proposed action is to provide a Master Plan for 
the MRC to guide future site development. The proposed action is needed 
to accommodate projected growth at the MRC and provide the necessary 
office and laboratory space for FDA to conduct complex and 
comprehensive research and reviews.

Schedule for Decision-Making

    A Draft EIS is expected to be released for public review in June 
2021. The GSA will hold a public hearing on the impacts of the proposed 
action in July 2021, and will seek preliminary approval of the MRC 
Master Plan from the National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC) at 
NCPC's September 2021 hearing. A Final EIS will be prepared that will 
take into consideration all comments received on the Draft EIS, and a 
Record of Decision is anticipated in spring 2022. Pending completion of 
NEPA compliance and review by NCPC, GSA anticipates adopting the MRC 
Master Plan in spring 2022.

Scoping Process

    In accordance with NEPA, a scoping process will be conducted to aid 
in determining the alternatives to be considered and the scope of 
issues to be addressed, as well as for identifying the significant 
issues related to the proposed MRC Master Plan. Scoping will be 
accomplished through a virtual public scoping meeting; direct mail 
correspondence to potentially interested persons, agencies, and 
organizations; and meetings with agencies having an interest in the 
Master Plan. It is important that Federal, regional, State, and local 
agencies, and interested individuals take this opportunity to identify 
environmental concerns that should be addressed during the preparation 
of the EIS.

Public Scoping Meeting

    Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and state/local requirements 
for social distancing, a pre-recorded presentation will be available at 
www.gsa.gov/ncrnepa in lieu of a traditional in-person public scoping 
meeting. A project phone line [410-777-9537] has also been set up to 
listen to the presentation and to leave comments on the proposed Master 
Plan. The pre-recorded presentation and phone line will be available 
from January 4, 2021, through February 11, 2021. The GSA is publishing 
notices in the Washington Post and Prince George's Post announcing the 
meeting.
