Title: New Issue Bond Program and 

Temporary Credit and Liquidity 

Program. 

Description: Authorized under section 

304(g) of the Federal National Mortgage 

Association Charter Act (12 U.S.C. 

1719(g)) and Section 306(l) of the 

Federal Home Loan Mortgage 

Corporation Act (12 U.S.C. 1455(l), as 

amended by the Housing and Economic 

Recovery Act (HERA) of 2008 (Pub. L. 

110–289; approved July 30, 2008) the 

Department of the Treasury (Treasury) is 

implementing two programs under the 

HFA (Housing Finance Agency) 

Initiative. The statute provides the 

Secretary authority to purchase 

securities and obligations of Fannie Mae 

and Freddie Mac (the GSEs) as he 

determines necessary to stabilize the 

financial markets, prevent disruptions 

in the availability of mortgage finance, 

and to protect the taxpayer. On 

December 4, 2009, the Secretary made 

the appropriate determination to 

authorize the two programs of the HFA 

Initiative: the New Issue Bond Program 

(NIBP) and the Temporary Credit and 

Liquidity Program (TCLP). Under the 

NIBP, Treasury has purchased securities 

from the GSEs backed by mortgage 

revenue bonds issued by participating 

state and local HFAs. Under the TCLP, 

Treasury has purchased a participation 

interest from the GSEs in temporary 

credit and liquidity facilities provided 

to participating HFAs as a liquidity 

backstop on their variable-rate debt. In 

order to properly manage the two 

programs of the initiative, continue to 

protect the taxpayer, and assure 

compliance with the Programs’ 

provisions, Treasury is instituting a 

series of data collection requirements to 

be completed by participating HFAs and 

furnished to Treasury through the GSEs. 

Respondents: Businesses or other forprofit institutions, and not-for-profit 

institutions.

DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS 

AFFAIRS 

Notice of Intent To Prepare an 

Environmental Impact Statement for 

the San Francisco Veterans Affairs 

Medical Center (SFVAMC) Institutional 

Master Plan 

AGENCY: Department of Veterans Affairs 

(VA). 

ACTION: Notice of intent. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 

1969, as amended, (42 U.S.C. 4331 et 

seq.), the Council on Environmental 

Quality Regulations for Implementing 

the Procedural Requirements of NEPA 

(40 CFR parts 1500–1508), VA’s 

Implementing Regulations (38 CFR part 

26), as well as the settlement agreement 

resulting from Planning Association for 

Richmond, et al v. U.S. Department of 

Veterans Affairs, C–06–02321–SBA 

(filed 6 June 2008), VA intends to 

prepare an environmental impact 

statement (EIS) for the proposed 

implementation of the SFVAMC 

Institutional Master Plan (IMP) in San 

Francisco, California. The SFVAMC IMP 

involves development and construction 

of patient care buildings, research 

buildings, business occupancy 

buildings, and parking structures, as 

well as retrofitting seismically deficient 

buildings. The EIS will address 

environmental issues associated with 

945,000 square feet of new construction 

and approximately 500,000 square feet 

of retrofitted development to upgrade 

the SFVAMC for purposes of meeting 

the needs of Veterans of the North Coast 

and San Francisco Bay Area over the 

next 20 years. 

DATES: Interested parties are invited to 

submit comments on or before April 29, 

2011 to ensure full consideration during 

the scoping process. 

ADDRESSES: Comments should be 

addressed to John Pechman, Facility 

Planner, San Francisco VA Medical 

Center (001), 4150 Clement Street, San 

Francisco, California 94121, or sent 

electronically to John.Pechman@va.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John 

Pechman, Facility Planner, SFVAMC at 

the address above or by telephone, (415)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VA 

operates the SFVAMC, located at Fort 

Miley in San Francisco, California. It is 

the only VA medical center in the City 

and County of San Francisco and is 

considered an aging facility with need 

for retrofitting and expansion. The 

SFVAMC has identified a need for 

retrofitting existing buildings to the 

most recent seismic safety requirements 

and for an additional 945,000 square 

feet of medical facility space (in 

addition to the existing 1.02 million 

square feet of medical facility space) to 

meet the needs of San Francisco Bay 

Area and northern California coast 

Veterans over the next 20 years. 

VA has identified four reasonable 

alternatives for evaluation in the EIS: 

Alternative 1 involves the existing 

SFVAMC site, which is a 29-acre site 

located at Fort Miley in the 

northwestern portion of the City of San 

Francisco. The site is bounded by 

Clement Street on the south, Lincoln 

Park on the north and east, and the 

National Park Service on the west. 

Implementation of the SFVAMC 

Institutional Master Plan Alternative 1 

at this site would include approximately 

939,200 square feet of new and/or 

retrofitted development. This alternative 

would involve development or 

retrofitting of buildings for patient care, 

research, business occupancy, 

residential and parking structures. 

Alternative 2 involves a combination 

of new development and renovation of 

existing buildings within the existing 

SFVAMC campus, and relocation of 

some aspects of the medical center to an 

alternate site within the City of San 

Francisco. This alternative may involve 

retrofit and development of clinical, 

research, and administrative buildings 

at the existing SFVAMC site and the 

construction of a new clinical 

ambulatory care center, medical 

research buildings, and parking 

structures at the new alternate site. 

Alternative 3 involves construction 

and relocation of the entire medical 

center campus to an alternate site 

within the City of San Francisco. This 

alternative would include construction 

of approximately 1.9 million square feet 

of new health care, clinical, research, 

and administrative facilities, including a 

new ambulatory care center, inpatient 

and outpatient care, research, business

occupancy buildings, and parking 

structures. 

In addition to the three 

aforementioned action alternatives, the 

EIS will evaluate potential 

environmental effects associated with 

the no action alternative (Alternative 4). 

Potential issues to be addressed in the 

EIS include, but are not limited to 

biological resources, historic and 

archaeological resources, geology and 

soils, hazards, hydrology and water 

quality, air quality, and transportation. 

Relevant and reasonable measures that 

could alleviate environmental effects 

will be considered. 

VA will undertake necessary 

consultations with regulatory entities 

pursuant to the Endangered Species Act, 

Clean Water Act, National Historic 

Preservation Act, and any other 

applicable law or regulation. 

Consultation will include but is not 

limited to the following Federal, state, 

and local agencies: State Historic 

Preservation Officer; U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service; U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency; and the National 

Park Service. 

Information related to the EIS process, 

including notices of public meetings, 

will be available for viewing on the 

SFVAMC Web site: http:// 

www.sanfrancisco.va.gov/. 

Approved: March 18, 2011.
