Guidelines for Evaluating Account and
Services Requests
Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System. ACTION:
Notice.
SUMMARY: The Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System (Board) is
withdrawing proposed amendments to
its Guidelines for Evaluating Account
and Services Requests (Account Access
Guidelines) that would have required
the Federal Reserve Banks (Reserve
Banks) to publish a periodic list of
ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1

depository institutions with access to
Reserve Bank accounts and/or financial
services. Because a new section 11C of
the Federal Reserve Act (the Act) was
recently enacted that requires
disclosures substantially similar to
those in the Board’s proposal, the Board
believes finalizing the proposed
amendments to its Account Access
Guidelines is unnecessary.
DATES: The Board is withdrawing the
proposal published November 16, 2022
(87 FR 68691) as of June 16, 2023.
1 The reporting period always begins the day after
the closing date of the last report filed. If the
committee is new and has not previously filed a
report, the first report must cover all activity that
occurred before the committee registered as a
political committee up through the close of books
for the first report due.
2 Notice that this filing deadline falls on a
weekend or federal holiday. Filing deadlines are not
extended when they fall on nonworking days.
Accordingly, reports filed on paper by methods
other than registered, certified or overnight mail
must be received before the Commission’s close of
business on the last business day before the
deadline.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
A. Board’s Proposed Amendments to the
Account Access Guidelines
On November 16, 2022, the Board
published proposed amendments to its
Account Access Guidelines that would
have required disclosure of institutions
with access to Reserve Bank accounts
and/or financial services (accounts and
services).1 This information historically

87 FR 68691.
26JNN1
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 121 / Monday, June 26, 2023 / Notices
has not been disclosed publicly. The
development and publication of the
Account Access Guidelines, however,
prompted the Board to consider the
potential benefits of disclosing the
names of institutions that have access to
accounts and services.
The Board proposed for public
comment a requirement for Reserve
Banks to publish periodically a list of
depository institutions with access to
accounts and services, including
whether each depository institution
with access to accounts and services is
federally insured and in which Reserve
Bank district the depository institution
is located. In addition, the Board
proposed to have the Reserve Banks
publish a list of depository institutions
that have, since the prior publication,
received access to accounts and services
or no longer have access to accounts and
services.2
B. Subsequent Amendment to the
Federal Reserve Act
Subsequent to the publication of the
proposal, the James M. Inhofe National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal
Year 2023 amended the Act by adding
a new Section 11C. New Section 11C of
the Act requires the Board, not later
than 180 days after December 23, 2022,
to create and ‘‘maintain a public, online
and searchable database’’ of entities that
have, or that are requesting, account and
service access, along with the status of
any request for an account and
services.3 For each entity that has, or is
requesting access to, accounts and
services, new Section 11C of the Act
also requires the database to indicate if
the entity is a federally insured bank or
credit union or a non-federally insured
depository institution.
II. Notice That the Board Will Not
Adopt the Proposed Amendments to the
Account Access Guidelines
The Board has determined that the
disclosure requirements in the Act’s
ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
2 The
Board proposed that the list of depository
institutions that no longer have access to accounts
and/or services would include both depository
institutions that lost access to accounts and services
and those that gave up their access to accounts and
services voluntarily.
3 See 12 U.S.C. 248c. The new Section 11C
excludes official accountholders from the list of
entities published on the database and defines
‘‘Official accountholders’’ as foreign states (as
defined in section 25B of the Act), central banks (as
defined in section 25B of the Act) other than a
commercial bank, public international
organizations entitled to enjoy privileged examples
and immunities as an international organization
under the International Organizations Immunities
Act (22 U.S.C. 288 et seq.), and any governmental
entity for which the Secretary of Treasury has
directed a Reserve Bank to receive deposits as fiscal
agent of the United States under section 15 of the
Act.

new Section 11C substantially supplant
the Board’s proposal to incorporate a
disclosure requirement into the Account
Access Guidelines. Therefore, the Board
will not adopt its proposed amendments
to the Account Access Guidelines.
By order of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System.

Statement for the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration, Muirkirk Road Campus
Master Plan in Laurel, Maryland
Public Buildings Service (PBS),
National Capital Region, General
Services Administration (GSA).
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
GSA issued a Record of
Decision (ROD) for the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) Muirkirk Road
Campus (MRC) Master Plan, in Laurel,
Maryland, on June 16, 2023. The ROD
was prepared in accordance with the
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) of 1969, the Council on
Environmental Quality Regulations, and
the GSA PBS NEPA Desk Guide.
DATES: Applicable: Friday, June 16,
2023.
SUMMARY:
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Lindsey Veas, GSA, National Capital
Region, PBS, Office of Planning and
Design Quality, at 202–262–9236.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The General Services Administration,
in cooperation with the FDA, has
prepared a Master Plan for the MRC in
Laurel, Maryland. The MRC Master Plan
creates a framework to guide
development and add capacity over the
course of next 10 to 30 years. The FDA
owns 249 acres of land at Muirkirk
Road. The MRC West Parcel comprises
197 acres west of Odell Road. The
remaining 52 acres makes up the MRC
East Parcel located east of Odell Road.
The FDA acquired the land for the
Beltsville Research Facility (BRF) from
the U.S. Department of Agriculture
(USDA) in 1964. Today, the MRC is
home to the Center for Veterinary
Medicine (CVM), the Center for Food

Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN),
and support staff.
Previous master plans approved by
National Capital Planning Commission
(NCPC) and Prince George’s County
include the 1966 Site Development Plan
and the 1981 Master Plan. The MRC’s
current population is 300 employees;
the 1966 and 1981 Master Plans limited
future population growth to 1,800
employees. The MRC Master Plan
evolved throughout the master planning
process that began in September 2020.
Initially, the Draft Master Plan included
two phases of office buildings without
any laboratories. The first phase
accommodates 700 additional staff, and
the second phase 800 additional staff,
bringing the total campus population up
to 1,800.
As a result of the COVID–19
pandemic, the workplace environment
has gone through a fundamental change
with a higher percentage of people
working remotely. The FDA adopted the
U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) 21st Century Workplace
Space Planning Policy. Under this
policy, a new workplace model based
on increased telework provides efficient
use of space and significantly reduces
rent and rent related costs. Moving
forward, HHS’s policy is to provide
dedicated workstations and offices only
for staff who report to an office six or
more days per pay period. Shared
workstations and offices will be
available for employees who
predominantly telework fewer than six
days per pay period. Based on current
trends in teleworking, FDA’s White Oak
campus has significant capacity to
absorb future growth and consolidation
of FDA employees within the DC
metropolitan area from leased space as
the leases expire. For laboratory
employees, remote work is not possible
due to the nature of the work and
existing laboratories at FDA’s White Oak
Campus are fully occupied. Therefore,
FDA shifted its focus for the MRC from
mostly new office space to also
increasing the amount of laboratory
space.
The Master Plan provides a
framework for development at the MRC
to accommodate up to 1,800 FDA
employees and support staff. GSA
completed an EIS that assessed the
impacts of the population increase and
additional growth needed on the MRC
to support the increased population.
Preferred Alternative
GSA has chosen to implement
Alternative B: Dual Campus, as defined
in the Final EIS (GSA, April 2023). This
decision is based on analyses contained
in the MRC Master Plan Draft EIS issued
