64836 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 211 / Friday, October 31, 2014 / Notices 

federal, low-security, adult males, nonU.S. citizen, criminal aliens within one 

existing contractor-owned, contractoroperated facility. 

Background Information: Pursuant to 

Section 102, 42 U.S.C. 4332, of the 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA) of 1969, as amended, the 

Council on Environmental Quality 

Regulations for Implementing NEPA (40 

CFR parts 1500–1508), and the BOP 

Procedures for Implementing NEPA (28 

CFR part 61, Appendix A), the BOP 

prepared an Environmental Assessment 

(EA) to analyze the impacts of awarding 

one contract to house up to 2,000 lowsecurity, adult male, non-U.S. citizen, 

criminal aliens within one existing 

contractor-owned and contractoroperated correctional facility. 

It is anticipated that the number of 

inmates will continue to rise for several 

reasons. Federal court sentencing 

guidelines are resulting in longer terms 

of confinement for serious crimes. 

Moreover, there is an increase in 

immigration and offenders, along with a 

greater effort to combat organized crime 

and trafficking. As a result, existing BOP 

facilities are at capacity. In response, the 

BOP has focused on ways to reduce 

prison overcrowding by requesting 

additional contract beds for low 

security, adult male criminal aliens, 

expansion of current facilities, and 

building and operating new medium 

and high security facilities. The purpose 

of the project is to acquire additional 

bed space to address the need to reduce 

overcrowding in existing BOP facilities 

as a result of increases in convictions 

and sentence terms. 

The BOP requires flexibility in 

managing existing low-security bed 

space as well as the anticipated future 

needs for low-security bed space. Use of 

an existing contractor-owned and 

operated correctional facility provides 

the BOP the flexibility needed to meet 

population capacity needs in a timely 

manner, conform to federal law, and 

maintain fiscal responsibility while 

successfully meeting the mission of the 

BOP. 

The process to identify contracting 

opportunities for securing additional 

inmate bed space in support of the 

increasing needs of the BOP involved 

the BOP advertising for interested 

vendors to respond to the request for 

proposal (RFP) with options for meeting 

the requirements. 

Based on the responses to the 

solicitation the BOP had four potential 

alternatives. The solicitation RFP–PCC– 

0022 (CAR 15 Requirement B) identified 

the evaluation criteria under which each 

offeror’s proposal would be considered 

and evaluated. The non-price based 

evaluation criteria that consist of the 

following in descending order of 

importance: 

• Past Performance 

• Technical Proposal 

• Environment 

• Small Disadvantaged Business 

Participation 

Project Information: 

The proposed action is to award one 

contract to house up to 2,000 federal 

low-security, adult male, non-U.S. 

citizen, criminal aliens at an existing 

contractor-owned and contractoroperated correctional facility. Under the 

Proposed Action, the selected contractor 

would be required to operate the facility 

in a manner consistent with the mission 

and requirements of the BOP. All 

inmate services would be developed in 

a manner that complies with the BOP’s 

contract requirements, as well as 

applicable federal, state, and local laws 

and regulations. In addition, the facility 

would be within proximity, and have 

access to, ambulatory, fire and police 

protection services. 

The federal inmates assigned to this 

facility primarily would consist of 

inmates with sentences of 90 months or 

less remaining to be served. Inmates are 

anticipated to be federal, low-security, 

adult male, non-U.S. citizen, criminal 

aliens; however, the BOP may designate 

any inmate within its custody to serve 

their sentence in this facility. 

Four existing privately owned and 

operated correctional facilities, one in 

Minnesota, two in Oklahoma, and one 

in Ohio, met the evaluation criteria of 

the BOP’s solicitation for CAR 15 

Requirement B. Each of the following 

existing facilities has been evaluated in 

this EA. In addition, the No Action 

Alternative is evaluated to determine 

baseline conditions and comply with 

the provisions of NEPA. 

• Prairie Correctional Facility. 

Located in Appleton, Minnesota. 

• Northeast Ohio Correctional Center. 

Located in Youngstown, Ohio. 

• Great Plains Correctional Facility. 

Located in Hinton, Oklahoma. 

• Diamondback Correctional Facility. 

Located in Watonga, Oklahoma. 

No other facilities are under 

consideration by the BOP. Although the 

four alternatives have been evaluated 

within the EA, an environmentally 

preferred alternative has not been 

identified due to the pending 

contracting action. 

Based on the analysis presented in the 

EA, there would be no significant 

impacts on natural and cultural 

resources, socioeconomics, 

environmental justice, community 

facilities and services, transportation 

and traffic, infrastructure and utilities, 

noise, and air quality as a result of the 

implementation of the proposed action 

under Alternative 1, Alternative 2, 

Alternative 3, or Alternative 4. 

Therefore, the BOP has determined 

there would be no significant impacts 

associated with the implementation of 

the proposed action. 

Availability of the Environmental 

Assessment 

The comment/review period will 

begin on October 31, 2014 and conclude 

on December 1, 2014. The EA and other

action are available upon request by

Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3507(a)(1)(D). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR 

seeks approval under the PRA for 

revisions to the Federal Employees’ 

Compensation Act (FECA) medical 

report forms and claim for 

compensation information collection 

requirements. Forms CA–7, CA–16, CA– 

17, CA–20, CA–1331, CA–1332, OWCP– 

5A, OWCP–5B, and OWCP–5C are used 

for filing claims for wage loss or 

permanent impairment due to a Federal 

employment-related injury and to obtain 

necessary medical documentation to 

determine whether a claimant is entitled 

to benefits under the FECA. This 

information collection has been 

classified as a revision, because of a 

change to the information collections 

needed to comply with current Federal 

law and FECA Bulletin No. 14–01, 

December 12, 2013. This change 

impacts augmented compensation, 

survivor benefits, death gratuity, 

schedule awards unpaid at death, and 

other Division of Federal Employees’ 

Compensation administered benefits. 

Changes are also being made to comply 

with the Department of Treasury 

regulations requiring Federal payments 

to be made via electronic funds transfer 

instead of by paper checks. In addition, 

the forms now include an 

accommodation statement for claimants 

with mental and/or physical limitations 

to contact the OWCP if they need 

further assistance in the claims process. 

The OWCP has also provided additional 

guidance to physicians when 

determining work tolerance limitations 

to assist in return to work efforts. 

Finally, the ICR updates reference codes 

for diseases, signs and symptoms, 

abnormal findings, complaints, social 

circumstances, and external causes of 

injury or diseases. 

This information collection is subject 

to the PRA. A Federal agency generally 

cannot conduct or sponsor a collection 

of information, and the public is 

generally not required to respond to an 

information collection, unless it is 

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 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 1240–0046. The current 

OMB approval is scheduled to expire on 

October 31, 2014; however, it should be 

noted that existing information 

collection requirements submitted to the 

OMB receive a month-to-month 

extension while they undergo review. 

For additional information, see the 

related notice published in the Federal 

Register on July 3, 2014 (79 FR 38072). 

Interested parties are encouraged to 

send comments to the OMB, Office of 

Information and Regulatory Affairs at 

the address shown in the ADDRESSES

section by December 1, 2014. In order to 

help ensure appropriate consideration, 

comments should mention OMB Control 

Number 1240–0046. The OMB is 

particularly interested in comments 

that: 

• Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

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 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submission of 

responses.
