Agency Information Collection Activity: Authorization To Disclose Personal Information to a Third Party, 2480 [2024-00494]

Download as PDF 2480 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 9 / Friday, January 12, 2024 / Notices 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 VA State Veterans Homes Construction Grant Program 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 grant program assists in providing eligible Veterans and their families high- quality, long-term domiciliary, nursing, adult day health, and hospital care services in a comfortable setting. The proposed action is needed to provide sufficient capacity to meet the increasing health care needs of eligible Veterans. The PEA will evaluate the potential direct and indirect impacts on the human environment from the proposed action and alternatives. VA anticipates releasing the Draft PEA for a 30-day public review and comment period later in CY 2024. VA will notify stakeholders via email/mail, publish a notice of availability of the Draft PEA in the Federal Register, and solicit comments at that time. Once the Draft PEA is released it will be available for review via the VA website: www.cfm.va.gov/ environmental/. Signing Authority Denis McDonough, Secretary of Veterans Affairs, approved and signed this document on January 4, 2024, 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. Luvenia Potts, Regulation Development Coordinator, Office of Regulation Policy & Management, Office of the Secretary, Department of Veterans Affairs.
