Operational changes at the Lynden
and Sumas LPOEs could impact each
other, especially during construction.
GSA has prepared a Final EIS to
assess the potential impacts of these
expansion and modernization projects.
Alternatives Considered
The EIS considered two action
alternatives for the Lynden LPOE and
three action alternatives for the Sumas
LPOE, along with two construction
sequencing options. GSA also
considered the No Action Alternatives
for each project location.
Lynden Alternative 2 (East-West
Oriented LPOE Expansion) would
involve potential acquisition of
primarily agricultural land to the west
of the LPOE, site preparation, and
construction to modernize and expand
the LPOE. The maximum proposed
limits of disturbance for Lynden
Alternative 2 would be approximately
14.5 acres.
Lynden Alternative 3 (North-South
Oriented LPOE Expansion) would
include the same action as Lynden
Alternative 2, with a difference of
alignment. The maximum proposed
limits of disturbance for Alternative 3
would be approximately 10.3 acres.
Sumas Alternative 2 (Feasibility
Study Preferred Alternative) would
involve potential acquisition of land
south and east of the LPOE, site
preparation, and construction to
modernize and expand the LPOE. The
maximum proposed limits of
disturbance for Sumas Alternative 2
would be approximately 12.9 acres.
Sumas Alternative 3 (Commercial
Inspection West) would include the
same action and maximum proposed
limits of disturbance as Alternative 2,
with a difference of a ‘‘flipped’’
alignment of the commercial inspection
facility.
Sumas Alternative 4 (Multi-Story
Construction LPOE Expansion) would
include the same action and maximum
proposed limits of disturbance as Sumas
Alternative 2, with a difference of multistory Main Building being constructed.
The EIS also evaluated two
construction sequencing options, which
could be implemented under any of the
action alternatives considered.
Under the Concurrent Construction
option, both ports would remain open
during construction. Pedestrian access
would be maintained through the ports
by utilizing and resetting, as necessary,
various access and safety controls. POV
access would also be maintained
through both ports using various
controls, which may require limits on
the number of open processing lanes
and shifting of POVs to commercial

owned vehicle (COV) lanes for limited
times. COVs may need to be detoured at
times to other ports to permit adequate
space for continued POV processing.
Under the Sequential Construction
Option, GSA and CBP considered the
potential for closure of the Lynden
LPOE. All traffic, pedestrians, POVs,
and COVs would be detoured from the
Lynden LPOE during the majority of its
construction. Once the modernized and
expanded Lynden LPOE is reopened,
construction that impacts traffic would
begin on the Sumas LPOE. The Sumas
LPOE would remain open to pedestrians
and POVs during construction to the
greatest extent possible. COVs would be
detoured from the Sumas LPOE to other
LPOEs during portions of the
construction period.
The Final EIS addresses the potential
environmental impacts of the proposed
alternatives on environmental resources
including land use; water resources;
biological resources; geology,
topography, and soils; air quality,
climate change, and greenhouse gases;
human health and safety; infrastructure
and utilities; traffic and transportation;
noise and vibration; socioeconomics;
and environmental justice and
protection of children’s health and
safety. Based on the analysis presented
in the Final EIS, impacts to all resource
areas would be less-than-significant
(i.e., negligible, minor, or moderate)
adverse or beneficial. Impact reduction
measures are presented in the Final EIS
to reduce potential adverse effects.
GSA conducted formal consultation
with the Washington State Department
of Archaeology and Historic
Preservation (referred to as the State
Historic Preservation Office [SHPO]) as
required under Section 106 of the
National Historic Preservation Act to
determine impacts to historic
properties. GSA determined that no
historic properties would be affected by
the proposed projects. SHPO concurred
with GSA’s determination.
GSA determined that implementation
of any combination of Lynden and
Sumas action alternatives may affect but
would not likely adversely affect the
yellow-billed cuckoo and monarch
butterfly. Therefore, GSA sent an
informal consultation letter in
accordance with Section 7 of the ESA
regarding the potential impacts to
protected species from the Proposed
Action to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service (USFWS) on July 31, 2024; and
a follow-up email on September 18,
2024. The USFWS did not reply or
provide written concurrence with GSA’s
determination within the 60-day
required timeframe for a response.

GSA sent Farmland Conversion
Impact Rating Forms to the Natural
Resources Conservation Service (NRCS)
on July 31, 2024; and a follow-up email
on September 18, 2024 to determine if
mitigation to reduce potential impacts
to farmland or farmland soils from the
proposed modernization and expansion
of the Lynden and Sumas LPOEs is
required. The NRCS has not responded
to date; however, GSA will continue to
coordinate with NRCS to determine if
mitigation for potential impacts to
Farmland Protection Policy Act
protected soils is required.
The Sumas LPOE project area is
located within the 1-percent-annualchance floodplain (also referred to as
the base flood or 100-year flood) and
0.2-percent-annual-chance floodplain
(also referred to as the 500-year flood).
In compliance with Executive Order
11988 (Floodplain Management), GSA
prepared a Floodplain Assessment and
Statement of Findings addressing
potential impacts on floodplains, which
is included in the Final EIS for public
review and comment. As described in
the Final EIS, GSA would follow
Federal, State, and local regulatory
compliance requirements and
incorporate design standards at the
Sumas LPOE to minimize impacts to
floodplains.

The Administration for
Children and Families is proposing
revisions to an approved information
collection, the Child Care Improper
Payments Data Collection Instructions
(OMB #0970–0323, expiration 1/31/
2025). In addition to the proposed
changes, we are requesting a 3-year
extension.
DATES: Comments due January 14, 2025.
In compliance with the requirements of
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
ACF is soliciting public comment on the
specific aspects of the information
collection described above.
ADDRESSES: You can obtain copies of the
proposed collection of information and
submit comments by emailing
infocollection@acf.hhs.gov. Identify all
requests by the title of the information
collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: Section 2 of the Payment
Integrity Information Act of 2019 (PIIA)
requires Federal agencies to review their
programs and activities to identify those
that may be susceptible to significant
improper payments, publish improper
payment estimates for those programs
and activities, and submit a report on
actions taken to reduce improper
payments. Subpart K of 45 CFR part 98
of the Child Care and Development
Fund (CCDF) requires states, the District
of Columbia, and Puerto Rico to prepare
and submit a report once every 3 years
with data on the errors occurring in the
administration of CCDF grant funds.
The Child Care Improper Payments Data
Collection Instructions (DCI) provides
instructions and guidance to states to
implement the CCDF error rate
methodology.
The Office of Child Care (OCC) is
completing the sixth 3-year cycle of case
record reviews to meet the requirements
SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00035
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
for reporting under PIIA. The current
data collection forms and instructions
expire on January 31, 2025. As part of
the renewal process, OCC has revised
the forms and instructions with minor
changes that do not change the
methodology, but that provide
additional guidance and clarification to
facilitate complete and accurate data
submissions. Existing instructions and
examples were updated, expanded, or
rewritten to clarify the information
requested. Several formatting changes
were made to streamline instructions.
The instructions and forms were also
reviewed for alignment with the 2024
CCDF Final Rule. A description of
changes made in each section can be
found in the Introduction section of the
revised DCI.
OCC is particularly interested in
feedback about updates made to the
following sections:
• Burden hours: OCC proposes to
revise the estimated burden hours for
the Sampling Decisions, Assurances,
and Fieldwork Preparation Plan (SDAP),
the ACF–403 Record Review Worksheet
(RRW), the ACF–404 State Improper
Payments Report, and the ACF–405
State Improper Payments Report
Corrective Action Plan (CAP). The
current burden hours have not been
revised for several years. OCC
recognizes that many factors have
changed since states first began error
rate reviews, including increased use of
technology by states to aid data
collection and reporting efforts, greater
organizational capacity to conduct
ongoing error rate reviews, and OCC’s
use of data reporting systems to reduce
manual reporting burden on states.
For this reason, OCC conducted a
survey in the spring of 2024 to gather
information about states’ experiences
