anticipates releasing the draft PEA for a
30-day public review and comment
period in the first quarter of fiscal year

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.
Jason Sturm, Environmental Engineer,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The VA
Office of Construction and Facilities
Management, Office of Real Property
supports VA’s mission by, among other
functions, leasing space for the
construction of medical and medically
related facilities to care for the Nation’s
Veterans.
The PEA will analyze the proposed
construction, renovation, repair and
operation of community-based
outpatient clinics, community living
centers and other similar leased medical
facilities identified under the VA Office
of Construction & Facilities
Management, Office of Real Property
build-to-suit program. The geographic
scope of the PEA is all 50 states, the
District of Columbia, the U.S. Virgin

Islands, the Commonwealth of Puerto
Rico, Guam, the Commonwealth of the
Northern Mariana Islands, American
Samoa and Tribal Lands. The PEA aims
to provide a streamlined NEPA
compliance process for those recurring,
predictable, and low-impact
construction, renovation or repair
projects that would result in less than
significant impacts.
This notice initiates the scoping
process for the PEA and invites the
public, government agencies and other
interested persons and organizations to
provide comments on the scope of
issues for analysis, input on potential
alternatives, or information/analyses
relevant to the proposed action.
Use of the PEA would decrease the
time and cost associated with having to
prepare stand-alone NEPA
documentation for those future build-tosuit lease projects that would meet the
conditions of the PEA. VA would
complete additional NEPA compliance
as required on projects outside the
parameters of the PEA.
The purpose of the proposed action is
to provide eligible Veterans common
medical services, assisted living care
and related services. The proposed
PO 00000
Frm 00123

action is needed to address current and
future projected health care gaps and
operational inefficiencies, especially in
rural areas where access to common
medical services offered by Veterans
Affairs Medical Centers is not an easily
accessible option.
The PEA will evaluate the potential
direct and indirect impacts on the
human environment from the proposed
action and alternatives. VA will make
the Draft PEA available for a public
comment period following its
completion.
Signing Authority
Denis McDonough, Secretary of
Veterans Affairs, approved and signed
this document on November 13, 2023,
and authorized the undersigned to sign
and submit the document to the Office
of the Federal Register for publication
electronically as an official document of
the Department of Veterans Affairs.
