Notice of Availability and Announcement of Meeting for the Chet 
Holifield Federal Building Final Environmental Impact Statement, Laguna 
Niguel, California

AGENCY: Public Buildings Service (PBS), General Services Administration 
(GSA).

ACTION: Notice of Availability; Announcement of Meeting.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice announces the availability of the Final 
Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS), which examines the potential 
impacts of a proposal by the General Services Administration (GSA) to 
address long-term housing for the tenants of the Chet Holifield Federal 
Building (CHFB) either through lease relocation or a combination of new 
construction and lease relocation; as well as the disposal of the CHFB 
out of federal ownership. The CHFB is owned and managed by GSA and is 
home to various federal agency tenants, with the United States 
Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) serving as the largest 
tenant. The FEIS describes the reason for the project; alternatives 
considered; potential environmental impacts; avoidance, minimization, 
and mitigation measures; includes responses to comments received on the 
Draft Environmental Impact Statement; and identifies the Preferred 
Alternative. GSA is serving as the lead agency in this undertaking, and 
acting on behalf of its tenants at this facility.

DATES: GSA will hold a virtual public meeting for the FEIS on Tuesday, 
March 16th, 2021 from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., Pacific Time (PT). 
Interested parties are encouraged to join and provide comments on the 
FEIS. The public comment period for the FEIS ends Sunday, April 4th, 
2021. After this date, GSA may prepare and sign the Record of Decision 
(ROD), which would provide project approval; undertake additional 
studies; or abandon the project.

ADDRESSES: GSA will host a virtual public meeting during the public 
comment period as listed under DATES to solicit public comment. The 
purpose of the meeting is to collect public comments on the FEIS. The 
virtual public meeting will begin with presentations on the National
