SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
GSA is beginning preparation of a
SEIS to analyze the potential impacts
resulting from the proposed realignment
and reconstruction of the Rose Avenue
Channel and construction of a new
stormwater retention basin west of the
expanded and modernized RHC LPOE.
This SEIS will supplement the previous
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
for the RHC LPOE expansion and
modernization project. GSA signed the
Record of Decision (ROD) for the Final
EIS for the Expansion and
Modernization of the RHC LPOE and
Proposed Commercial LPOE in Douglas,
Arizona on May 6, 2024. GSA approved
the preferred alternative, identified in
the Final EIS as Alternative 2
(Concurrent Construction—Westward
Expansion), which would involve
construction of a new Commercial LPOE
and phased expansion and
modernization of the existing RHC
LPOE at the same time, with expansion
primarily to the west of the existing
RHC LPOE.
Under the Proposed Action for the
SEIS, the existing concrete box culvert
beneath the LPOE would be partially
maintained and extended westward
near the existing vehicle inspection
booths. From there, an open channel
would be constructed generally parallel
and to the north of Border Road and
would discharge into an existing wash
just west of Chino Road. The existing
north-south channel that runs parallel to
Pan American Avenue would be
abandoned and sealed or demolished in
conjunction with the expansion and
modernization of the RHC LPOE. An
expanded stormwater retention basin
would also be constructed just west of
E:\FR\FM\08OCN1.SGM
08OCN1
81530
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 195 / Tuesday, October 8, 2024 / Notices
the existing Alternative 2 Expansion
Area as identified in the Final EIS. In
addition to the Proposed Action, GSA
will also consider the No Action
Alternative.
The purpose of the Proposed Action
is to address stormwater management
and flood control needs for the
expanded and modernized RHC LPOE.
The need for the Proposed Action is that
the current alignment of the Rose
Avenue Channel will result in
engineering conflicts with the current
proposed layout for the expanded RHC
LPOE and requires re-routing.
Additional land area is also required for
necessary stormwater retention at the
expanded and modernized RHC LPOE.
Preliminary analysis indicates that
short-term adverse environmental
impacts may occur during construction
on air quality and greenhouse gases
from emissions; geology and soils and
water resources from ground
disturbance; and biological resources
from ground disturbance and
construction noise. GSA will be
conducting a jurisdictional
determination, archaeological survey,
and Phase I Environmental Site
Assessment to inform potential impacts
to Waters of the United States, cultural
resources, and human health and safety,
respectively. Minimal or no impacts are
expected to occur to the following
resources: transportation and traffic;
noise; socioeconomics, and
environmental justice. Beneficial
impacts are expected to infrastructure
and utilities from the improvement of
stormwater management facilities. The
Proposed Action may require
acquisition of additional land to the
west of the RHC LPOE. Necessary
permits and authorizations will be
identified within the Draft EIS.
The Draft EIS is expected to be
published in early 2025.

Federal
law at 5 U.S.C. 4314(c) requires each
agency to establish, in accordance with
regulations prescribed by the Office of
Personnel Management at 5 CFR part
430, subpart C and § 430.310 thereof in
particular, one or more Senior Executive
Service performance review boards. As
a small executive branch agency, OGE
has just one board. In order to ensure an
adequate level of staffing and to avoid
a constant series of recusals, the
designated members of OGE’s SES
Performance Review Board are being
drawn, as in the past, in large measure
from the ranks of other executive branch
agencies. The board shall review and
evaluate the initial appraisal of each
OGE senior executive’s performance by
their supervisor, along with any
recommendations in each instance to
the appointing authority relative to the
performance of the senior executive.
This notice updates the membership of
OGE’s SES Performance Review Board
as it was most recently published at 88
FR 75591 (Nov. 3, 2023).
The following official has been
appointed to the SES Performance
Review Board of the Office of
Government Ethics: Danae M. Serrano,
Ethics Counsel, Securities and Exchange
Commission. The remaining Board
members are Sean Dent, Senior Deputy
General Counsel, Federal Housing
Finance Agency, and Peter J.
Constantine, ADAEO, Office of the
General Counsel, Department of
Transportation.
