Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 177 / Tuesday, September 15, 2009 / Notices 47251 

becomes effective upon the earlier of 

your receipt of this letter or publication 

of notice in the Federal Register. 

Suspension is immediate pending the 

Bureau’s final debarment determination. 

In accordance with the Commission’s 

debarment rules, you may contest this 

suspension or the scope of this 

suspension by filing arguments in 

opposition to the suspension, with any 

relevant documentation. Your request 

must be received within 30 days after 

you receive this letter or after notice is 

published in the Federal Register, 

whichever comes first. Such requests, 

however, will not ordinarily be granted. 

The Bureau may reverse or limit the 

scope of suspension only upon a finding 

of extraordinary circumstances. Absent 

extraordinary circumstances, the Bureau 

will decide any request for reversal or 

modification of suspension within 90 

days of its receipt of such request. 

II. Initiation of Debarment Proceedings 

Your guilty plea to criminal conduct 

in connection with the E-Rate program, 

in addition to serving as a basis for 

immediate suspension from the 

program, also serves as a basis for the 

initiation of debarment proceedings 

against you. Your conviction falls 

within the categories of causes for 

debarment defined in section 54.8(c) of 

the Commission’s rules. Therefore, 

pursuant to section 54.8(a)(4) of the 

Commission’s rules, your conviction 

requires the Bureau to commence 

debarment proceedings against you. 

As with your suspension, you may 

contest debarment or the scope of the 

proposed debarment by filing arguments 

and any relevant documentation within 

30 calendar days of the earlier of the 

receipt of this letter or of publication in 

the Federal Register. Absent 

extraordinary circumstances, the Bureau 

will debar you. Within 90 days of 

receipt of any opposition to your 

suspension and proposed debarment, 

the Bureau, in the absence of 

extraordinary circumstances, will 

provide you with notice of its decision 

to debar. If the Bureau decides to debar 

you, its decision will become effective 

upon the earlier of your receipt of a 

debarment notice or publication of the 

decision in the Federal Register. 

If and when your debarment becomes 

effective, you will be prohibited from 

participating in activities associated 

with or related to the schools and 

libraries support mechanism for three 

years from the date of debarment. The 

Bureau may, if necessary to protect the 

public interest, extend the debarment 

period.

GENERAL SERVICES

Notice of Intent To Prepare an 

Environmental Impact Statement 

AGENCY: U.S. General Services 

Administration (GSA), National Capital 

Region. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the requirements 

of the National Environmental Policy 

Act of 1969 (NEPA), 42 United States 

Code (U.S.C.) 4321–4347; the Council 

on Environmental Quality Regulations 

(Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), 

Title 40, chapter V, parts 1500–1508); 

GSA Order PBS P 1095.1F 

(Environmental considerations in 

decision-making, dated October 19, 

1999); and the GSA Public Buildings 

Service NEPA Desk Guide, dated 

October 1999, GSA plans to prepare an 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

for the amended Department of 

Homeland Security (DHS) Consolidation 

Master Plan at St. Elizabeths in 

Southeast Washington, DC. GSA will be 

initiating related consultation under 

Sections 106 and 110 of the National 

Historic Preservation Act (16 U.S.C. 

470(f) and 470(h–2)), for the amended 

Master Plan consistent with the 

Programmatic Agreement concluded on 

December 9, 2008. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Denise Decker, NEPA Lead, General 

Services Administration, National 

Capital Region, at (202) 538–5643. Also, 

please call this number if special 

assistance is needed to attend and 

participate in the scoping meeting. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The notice 

of intent is as follows: 

Notice of Intent to prepare an 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

for the amended Department of 

Homeland Security (DHS) Consolidation 

Master Plan at St. Elizabeths in 

Southeast Washington, DC. 

GSA intends to prepare an EIS to 

analyze the potential impacts resulting 

from the amendment of the DHS 

Consolidation Master Plan, which 

consists of the development of 750,000 

gross square feet (GSF) of secure office 

space plus associated parking on what 

is known as the north parcel of the St. 

Elizabeths East Campus. The primary 

purpose of this action is to complete the 

consolidation of DHS mission functions 

comprising the Department’s 

Headquarters offices at St. Elizabeths for 

a total of 4.5 million GSF of secure 

office and shared use space plus 

associated parking. 

Background 

DHS previously identified a need to 

consolidate a minimum critical mass of 

4.5 million GSF of secure office space, 

plus parking, to meet the Department’s 

mission requirements for its 

consolidated Headquarters in 

furtherance of developing a more costeffective, efficient, and functional real 

estate portfolio in the National Capital 

Region. DHS’ scattered current housing 

prevents it from accomplishing its 

mission. This extreme dispersion has 

also resulted in significant inefficiencies 

in daily operations, and these 

inefficiencies have been magnified 

considerably at the most important 

moments—when the Department must 

act as a nimble and integrated team 

responding to significant natural 

disasters or terrorist threats. 

In response, GSA looked at alternative 

locations for consolidating DHS’ 

Headquarters offices and concluded that 

St. Elizabeths was the most viable site 

for this consolidation. During 

consultation under Section 106 of the 

National Historic Preservation Act, as 

well as with other Federal agencies, the 

consolidation project was determined to 

be of less impact to the St. Elizabeths
