This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily Federal 
Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal Register, and does 
not replace the official print version or the official electronic version on 
GPO’s Federal Digital System (FDsys.gov).

The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal 
Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the 
corresponding official PDF file on FDsys.gov. This prototype edition of the 
daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial 
informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal 
Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status. For 
complete information about, and access to, our official publications and 
services, go to the OFR.gov website. 

The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable 
regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of establishing 
the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned publication in the future. 
While every effort has been made to ensure that the material on 
FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with the official 
SGML-based PDF version on FDsys.gov, those relying on it for legal research 
should verify their results against an official edition of the Federal Register. 
Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML rendition of the daily Federal 
Register on FederalRegister.gov does not provide legal notice to the public or 
judicial notice to the courts.

      Hunting and Trapping in National Preserves

      A Proposed Rule by the National Park Service on 09/04/2014 

      The National Park Service proposes to amend its regulations for sport 
      hunting and trapping in National Preserves in Alaska. This proposed rule 
      would not adopt state laws or regulations that authorize taking of 
      wildlife, hunting or trapping activities, or management actions involving 
      predator reduction efforts with the intent or potential to alter or 
      manipulate natural predator-prey dynamics and associated natural 
      ecological processes to increase harvest of ungulates by humans.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Back to Top 


HHS/CDC has prepared a new long-range Master Plan to guide the future physical 
development of the Roybal Campus for the planning horizon of 2015 to 2025. The 
previous 2000-2009 Master Plan has been implemented, and as a result, a new plan 
is needed in order to ensure that the campus can support HHS/CDC's mission and 
program requirements through 2025. Mission change and growth resulting from 
emerging or reemerging infectious diseases, changes in technology and potential 
Program staff growth over time are expected to drive increases in laboratory and 
non-laboratory staff and demand for specialized space. The Master Plan provides 
an update of baseline existing conditions and examines the potential growth in 
agency mission, laboratory and laboratory support space, office space and 
personnel occupying the Roybal Campus, and identifies a preferred alternative 
for future development.

The FEIS analyzes the effects of the Proposed Action and the No Action 
Alternative. The Proposed Action Alternative consists of HHS/CDC's 
implementation of the Master Plan preferred alternative. Improvements proposed 
under the Master Plan preferred alternative include new laboratory construction, 
existing building renovation, parking expansion, and infrastructure upgrades. 
Under the Master Plan preferred alternative, a new laboratory building of 
approximately 350,000 to 450,000 gross square feet would be constructed on an 
existing surface parking lot located in the eastern portion of the Roybal 
Campus. A new approximately 1,600 space parking deck would be constructed in the 
southeastern portion of the campus. Construction of the new parking deck, along 
with the new laboratory and supporting infrastructure would eliminate an 
existing surface parking and result in a net increase of approximately 1,200 
parking spaces at the Roybal Campus. The construction of the new parking deck 
would increase the existing campus parking cap from 3,300 to approximately 4,500 
spaces. The employee population at the Roybal Campus is estimated to increase by 
approximately 1,485 new occupants under the Master Plan preferred alternative by 
2025.

The No Action Alternative represents continued operation of the existing 
facilities at the Roybal Campus without any new construction or any major 
building additions over the ten-year planning period from 2015 to 2025. However, 
the employee population at the Roybal Campus is projected to increase by 
approximately 865 new occupants under the No Action Alternative due to potential 
background growth of existing Campus programs.

The DEIS for the Roybal Campus 2025 Master Plan was issued for public review in 
January of 2014. The DEIS was filed with the EPA the week of January 13, 2014 
through January 17, 2014 and a Notice of Availability (NOA) for the DEIS was 
published in the Federal Register on January 24, 2014 by the EPA. The public 
review period for the DEIS extended to April 10, 2014. During the public comment 
period, a public meeting was held on March 20, 2014. HHS/CDC received 24 sets of 
comments addressing the DEIS, with a total of 111 individual comments. HHS/CDC 
reviewed and considered all comments that were received during the public review 
period. All comments and HHS/CDC's response to comments are contained in the 
FEIS. Portions of the FEIS were revised in response to comments which called for 
clarifications or factual changes. Additional mitigation related to potential 
visual impacts were incorporated in response to public comments.

Availability of the FEIS: Copies of the FEIS were distributed to Federal, State, 
and local government agencies with jurisdiction by law or expertise, elected 
officials and all agencies, persons and organizations that submitted comments on 
the DEIS.

The FEIS is also available online on the Federal eRulemaking Portal: 
http://www.regulations.gov, identified by Docket No. CDC-2012-0013. Copies of 
the FEIS are available at the following locations: Decatur Library, 215 Sycamore
