Federal Bureau of Prisons
Record of Decision; Final
Supplemental Environmental Impact
Statement for the Proposed
Development of a Federal Correctional
Institution and Federal Prison Camp on
the Grounds of the United States
Penitentiary in Leavenworth, KS
The U.S. Department of Justice,
Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP)
announces the availability of the Record
of Decision (ROD) concerning the Final
Supplemental Environmental Impact
Statement (FSEIS) for the proposed
development of a Federal Correctional
Institution (FCI) and Federal Prison
Camp (FPC) on the grounds of the
United States Penitentiary (USP) in
Leavenworth, Kansas.
Background Information: Pursuant to
Section 102 of the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and
the Council of Environmental Quality
Regulations found at 40 CFR parts
1500–1508, BOP has prepared Draft
Supplemental and Final Supplemental
Environmental Impact Statements (EISs)
for the development of a mediumsecurity FCI and a minimum-security
satellite work camp, to replace the
existing, aged correctional facilities.
Project Information: The mission of
the BOP is to protect society by
confining offenders in the controlled
environments of prison and communitybased facilities that are safe, humane,
cost-efficient, and appropriately secure,
and that provide work and other selfimprovement opportunities to assist
offenders in becoming law-abiding
citizens.
A growing challenge to the BOP’s
mission is that an increasing number of
federal correctional facilities and
supporting infrastructure are aging,
resulting in an ongoing need for new
facilities and infrastructure. Among the
oldest are the medium-security facility
and federal prison camp at USP
Leavenworth. In the FSEIS, BOP
proposed to construct and operate a new
FCI designed to house approximately
1,152 medium-security inmates and an
FPC designed to house 256 minimumsecurity inmates with approximately
338 staff for operation. Development of
a new FCI and FPC will help to meet the
need for modern correctional facilities
and infrastructure and to address the
specific need for a new mediumsecurity FCI and minimum-security FPC
in Leavenworth to replace the existing,
aged correctional facilities.
Once development is completed and
the new facilities are activated, inmates

jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 97 / Friday, May 21, 2021 / Notices
housed at the USP and FPC will be
transferred to the new facilities along
with the complement of correctional
officers and other staff. After this
transfer, the existing USP and FPC will
no longer house inmates.
The analysis conducted under NEPA
guidelines address the following
alternatives:
• No Action Alternative—A decision
not to proceed with the proposed action
to develop a new FCI/FPC.
• Alternative Locations—Locations
other than Leavenworth, Kansas, for
implementation of the proposed action
and warranting only a brief explanation
of the reasons for elimination.
• Action Alternatives—Alternative
building location within the grounds of
USP Leavenworth which best meets
BOP requirements for development
while minimizing potential adverse
environmental impacts.
• Preferred Alternative—The
alternative preferred by the BOP for
implementation of the proposed action.
No reasonable alternatives outside the
jurisdiction of the BOP (the lead agency)
have been identified or warranted
inclusion in the FSEIS. Development of
the proposed FCI/FPC at USP
Leavenworth under the East–1 plan is
considered by the BOP to be the
Preferred Alternative.
The BOP issued a Draft Supplemental
EIS in November 2020 with publication
of the Notice of Availability (NOA) in
the Federal Register on November 20,
2020. The NOA provided for a 45-day
public comment period which began on
November 20, 2020, and ended on
January 4, 2021. During the public
comment period, the BOP held a virtual
public hearing concerning the proposed
action and the Draft Supplemental EIS
on December 30, 2020. Approximately
39 individuals attended the public
hearing.
The Final Supplemental EIS
addressed comments received on the
Draft Supplemental EIS. Publication of
the NOA in the Federal Register
concerning the Final Supplemental EIS
occurred on February 26, 2021. The 30day review period for receipt of public
comments concerning the Final
Supplemental EIS ended on March 29,
2021. The comments received on the
Final Supplemental EIS were
considered in the decision presented in
the ROD.
BOP provided written notices of the
availability of the Draft Supplemental
EIS and the FSEIS in the Federal
Register, a newspaper with local and
regional circulations, and through
publication on a website established for
this EIS process at https://

established the Safe + Sound Campaign,
a voluntary effort to support the
implementation of safety and health
programs in businesses throughout the
United States. The Campaign includes
periodic activities and events, ranging
from regular email updates to quarterly
national Webinars to local meetings to
an annual national stand down,
designated to increase overall employer
and employee awareness and
understanding of safety and health
programs and promote employer
adoption of these programs. To gain
information needed to support this
effort, OSHA is proposing to survey, and
in some cases interview, those
participating in the Campaign activities.
The goal of the information collection is
to understand and respond to the needs
of participants and publicly highlight
outcomes to enhance the effectiveness
of the Campaign. For additional
substantive information about this ICR,
see the related notice published in the
Federal Register on December 9, 2020
(85 FR 79222).
This information collection is subject
to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
of information, and the public is
generally not required to respond to an
information collection, unless the OMB
approves it and displays a currently
valid OMB Control Number. In addition,
notwithstanding any other provisions of
law, no person shall generally be subject
to penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information that does not
display a valid OMB Control Number.
See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6.
DOL seeks PRA authorization for this
information collection for three (3)
years. OMB authorization for an ICR
cannot be for more than three (3) years
without renewal. The DOL notes that
information collection requirements
submitted to the OMB for existing ICRs
receive a month-to-month extension
while they undergo review.
Agency: DOL–OSHA.
