Project Information 

Pursuant to Section 102, 42 U.S.C. 

4332, of the National Environmental 

Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, as amended 

and the Council on Environmental 

Quality Regulations (40 CFR Parts 1500– 

1508), the BOP published an EA 

concerning a proposal to award one 

contract to house approximately 1,000 

Iow-security, adult male, criminal aliens 

within one existing contractor-owned 

and contractor-operated correctional 

facility. 

Under the current solicitation, the 

BOP required that, prior to contract 

award, offerors provide information 

regarding past environmental activities 

and the environmental condition of the 

proposed sites and institutions. The EA, 

which is incorporated by reference 

describes the potential environmental 

impacts associated with the Action 

Alternatives, as well as the No Action 

Alternative. The stated purpose and 

need was the provision of 

approximately 1,000 beds although the 

overall system need is far greater. The 

document describes baseline 

environmental conditions, including the 

natural and human environments, 

addresses potential environmental 

impacts of the No Action Alternative 

and Action Alternatives, and includes 

appropriate mitigation measures. 

Further, as required by the 

solicitation, the BOP has taken several 

steps regarding offerors environmental 

documentation. First, the BOP has 

independently evaluated and verified 

the accuracy of the offerors 

environmental documentation. Second, 

the BOP has given greater consideration 

to the proposal which represents the 

preferred alternative. Third, the BOP 

reserved the right to eliminate proposals 

based on the adequacy of the 

documentation provided by the 

offeror(s) or the potential impact to the 

quality of the human environment. Last, 

the BOP reserved the right to disclose or 

make public any environmental 

documentation or other environmental 

information. 

An impact analysis of the alternatives 

was prepared as part of the EA. The 

analysis evaluated natural, cultural, and 

socioeconomic impacts of the Proposed 

Action for each of the Action 

Alternatives. The analysis included the 

environmental information provided by 

the offerors, as well as site visits. The 

BOP published the EA on January 28, 

2011 and published a Notice of 

Availability (NOA) in the Federal 

Register and in local newspapers 

associated with each of the five 

proposed alternative locations. The 

NOA provided a 30-day public 

comment period which began on 

January 28, 2011 and ended on February 

28, 2011. The BOP also distributed 

copies of the EA to federal, state and 

local officials, resource agencies, and 

other interested parties. No comments 

were received regarding the EA during 

the 30-day comment period. However, 

the BOP did receive a letter from an 

individual after the end of the comment 

period containing several comments 

related to the Lee Adjustment Center 

alternative in Beattyville, Kentucky. 

Although this comment letter was 

received after the comment period 

ended, the BOP reviewed and 

considered comments on the Lee 

Adjustment Center alternative in the 

NEPA process. 

The Limestone County Detention 

Center in Groesbeck, Texas is the 

selected alternative that best meets 

BOP’s needs and has no significant 

impact on the human, natural or 

cultural environment. Mitigation for the 

project is not required due to the lack 

of impacts to natural, cultural, and 

socioeconomic resources. 

Implementation of the proposed action 

at the Limestone County Detention 

Center in conjunction with past, 

present, or reasonably foreseeable future 

actions, is not anticipated to result in 

major adverse cumulative impacts to 

natural, cultural or socioeconomic 

resources in the area. 

Availability of Finding of No 

Significant Impact 

Pursuant to the requirements of the 

NEPA and subsequent guidelines for 

preparing environmental documents, 

including 40 CFR 1506.5(b), the BOP 

has conducted its own evaluation of the 

environmental issues and takes 

responsibility for the scope and content 

of the EA prepared for New Low 

Security Beds, January 2011. The BOP 

has determined that the selected action 

does not significantly impact the quality 

of the human environment.

regarding the proposed action are 

available upon request by contacting:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under 

Executive Orders 12073 and 10582, the 

DOL issues an annual list of Labor 

Surplus Areas (LSAs) used by Federal 

and State entities in a number of actions 

such as procurement and property 

transfer. The annual LSA list is updated 

during the year, based upon petitions 

submitted to the DOL by State 

Workforce Agencies requesting 

additional areas for LSA certification.

This information collection is subject

cannot conduct or sponsor a collection 

of information, and the public is 

generally not required to respond to an 

information collection, unless it is 

currently approved by the OMB under 

the PRA and displays a currently valid 

OMB Control Number. In addition, 

notwithstanding any other provisions of 

law, no person shall generally be subject 

to penalty for failing to comply with a 

collection of information if the 

collection of information does not 

display a currently valid OMB control 

number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 

1320.6. The DOL obtains OMB approval 

for this information collection under 

OMB Control Number 1205–0207. The 

current OMB approval is scheduled to 

expire on March 31, 2011; however, it 

should be noted that information 

collections submitted to the OMB

while they undergo review. For 

additional information, see the related

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

• Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

• Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

• Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the
