SUMMARY: The General Services Administration (GSA) will prepare an
Environmental Assessment (EA) that will analyze and discuss the
environmental impacts of renovations of the Charles F. Prevedel Federal
Building and demolition of buildings 100, 101, and 102 at the Federal

Congressional District.
In the EA, GSA will discuss impacts that could occur as a result of

lessen or avoid impacts on the various resource areas.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
General: This EA is being prepared pursuant to the National
Environmental Policy Act, 42 U.S.C. 4321 (NEPA), and regulations
implementing NEPA issued by the Council on Environmental Quality (40
CFR 1500-1508), GSA ADM 1095.1, the GSA PBS NEPA Desk Guide and other
applicable regulations and policies. The EA will inform GSA in its
decision-making process. Compliance with the National Historic
Preservation Act (NHPA), including NHPA Section 106, and other laws and
requirements, will be coordinated with this EA process, and government
agencies that are affected by the proposed actions or have special
expertise will be consulted. An independent analysis of the issues will
be presented in the EA. The EA will be placed in the public record and
a comment period will be allotted on the Draft EA. GSA will consider
all comments on the EA before making a final decision.
Purpose of Notice: The purpose of this notice is to (1) Announce
GSA's intent to prepare an EA; (2) announce the initiation of the
public scoping process; (3) invite public participation during the
scoping process and at the public scoping meeting; and (4) request
public comments on the scope of the EA, including the potential
environmental impacts associated with the proposed action.
Further Information on Public Participation and Dates: The public
is encouraged to provide GSA with specific comments or concerns about
the project. Comments should focus on the potential environmental
effects, reasonable alternatives, and measures to avoid or lessen
environmental impacts.
In addition to the above methods for submission of comments, those
interested may also file a paper copy of comments, by regular mail, to
Jeremiah Nelson, GSA Region 6 NEPA Coordinator, 1500 E. Bannister Road,
Room 2135, Kansas City, Missouri 64131 or verbally offer comments to
GSA's Region 6 NEPA Coordinator by calling (816) 823-5803. Again,
comments should be sent to GSA on or before March 17, 2011. With any
comments, before including address, phone number, e-mail address, or
other personal identifying information in your comment, be advised that
the entire comment, including personal identifying information, may be
made publicly available at any time. While you can ask in your comment
to withhold from public review personal identifying information, GSA
cannot guarantee that it will be able to do so.
Finally, in lieu of or in addition to sending written comments, GSA
also invites you to attend the public scoping meeting scheduled and
discussed in the body of this notice, above. Comments made at the
public scoping meeting will also be considered in the EA process.
State and local government representatives are asked to notify
their constituents of this planned project and encourage them to
comment on their areas of concern.
A fact sheet prepared by GSA will be made available at the Public
Scoping Meeting and will be posted to a GSA Project Web site (http://www.gsa.gov/r6news), thereafter.
