The purpose of the Proposed Action is to address the security needs of the Dirksen Courthouse, respond to the Congressional intent and funding authorization provided in the 2022 Consolidated Appropriations Act, and manage Federal assets. Preferred Alternative GSA’s Preferred Alternative is Viable Adaptive Reuse (Alternative B). GSA will pursue viable adaptive reuse under the NHPA section 111 outlease authority. GSA will issue a Request for Lease Proposals (RLP) to seek a reuse that meets the purpose and need for the proposed action. The Viable Adaptive Reuse Alternative meets the purpose and need for the Proposed Action upon satisfying the security needs of the Dirksen Courthouse. Therefore, GSA will request market-driven redevelopment proposals with the following considerations. First, GSA shall consider and prioritize proposals that align with the viable adaptive reuse security criteria established for this proposed action and demonstrate the financial capability of the offeror to successfully execute. Second, GSA shall consider proposals with proposed deviations from the viable adaptive reuse security criteria that demonstrate the financial capability of the offeror to successfully execute. Any proposed deviation must be agreed to by GSA. There are no federal funds available for reuse or proposed deviations from the security criteria. The RLP will allow for redevelopment of all buildings and parcels at 202 through 220 South State Street or one, two, or all three buildings in a manner that addresses the purpose and need.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Doris Lefkowitz, AHRQ Reports Clearance Officer, (301) 427–1477, or by email at REPORTSCLEARANCEOFFICER@ ahrq.hhs.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Proposed Project Medical Office Survey on Patient Safety Culture Database In 1999, the Institute of Medicine called for health care organizations to develop a ‘‘culture of safety’’ such that their workforce and processes focus on improving the reliability and safety of care for patients (IOM, 1999; To Err is Human: Building a Safer Health System). To respond to the need for tools to assess patient safety culture in health care, AHRQ developed and pilot tested the Surveys on Patient Safety Culture® (SOPS®) Medical Office Survey with OMB approval (OMB NO.0935–0131; Approved July 5, 2007). The survey is designed to enable medical offices to assess provider and staff perspectives about patient safety issues, medical error, and error reporting. The survey includes 38 items that measure 10 composites of patient safety culture. In addition to the composite items, 14 items measure staff perceptions of how often medical offices have problems exchanging information with other settings as well as other patient safety and quality issues. AHRQ made the survey publicly available along with a Survey User’s Guide and other toolkit materials in January 2009, on the AHRQ website. The AHRQ SOPS Medical Office Database consists of data from the AHRQ Medical Office Survey on Patient Safety Culture and may include reportable, non-required supplemental items. Medical offices in the U.S. can voluntarily submit data from the survey to AHRQ, through its contractor, Westat. The SOPS Medical Office Database (OMB NO. 0935–0196, last approved on September 24, 2021) was developed by AHRQ in 2011 in response to requests PO 00000 Frm 00031 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 61427 from medical offices interested in tracking their own survey results. Those organizations submitting data receive a feedback report, as well as a report of the aggregated, de-identified findings of the other medical offices submitting data. These reports are used to assist medical office staff in their efforts to improve patient safety culture in their organizations. The goal of the Medical Office Survey on Patient Safety Culture Database is to promote improvements in the quality and safety of healthcare in medical office settings. The survey, toolkit materials, and database results are all made publicly available on AHRQ’s website. Technical assistance is provided by AHRQ through its contractor at no charge to medical offices, to facilitate the use of these materials for medical office patient safety and quality improvement. This database: (1) Presents results from medical offices that voluntarily submit their data, (2) Provides data to medical offices to facilitate internal assessment and learning in the patient safety improvement process, and (3) Provides supplemental information to help medical offices identify their strengths and areas with potential for improvement in patient safety culture. To achieve the goal of this project the following activities and data collections will be implemented: (1) Eligibility and Registration Form— The medical office point-of-contact (POC) completes several data submission steps and forms, beginning with the completion of an online Eligibility and Registration Form. The purpose of this form is to collect basic demographic information about the medical office and initiate the registration process. (2) Medical Office Site Information Form—The purpose of the site information form, also completed by the medical office POC, is to collect background characteristics of the medical office. This information will be used to analyze data collected with SOPS Medical Office Survey. (3) Data Use Agreement—The purpose of the data use agreement, completed by the medical office POC, is to state how data submitted by medical offices will be used and provides privacy assurances. (4) Data File(s) Submission—POCs upload their data file(s), using the medical office data file specifications, to ensure that users submit their data in a standardized way (e.g., variable names, order, coding, formatting).The number E:\FR\FM\31JYN1.SGM 31JYN1

redevelopment proposals with the following considerations. First, GSA 
shall consider and prioritize proposals that align with the viable 
adaptive reuse security criteria established for this proposed action 
and demonstrate the financial capability of the offeror to successfully

from the viable adaptive reuse security criteria that demonstrate the 
financial capability of the offeror to successfully execute. Any 
proposed deviation must be agreed to by GSA. There are no federal funds 
available for reuse or proposed deviations from the security criteria. 
The RLP will allow for redevelopment of all buildings and parcels at
