SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: HHS/CDC 

intends to prepare an Environmental 

Impact Statement (EIS) to analyze the 

potential impacts resulting from the 

proposed Roybal Campus 2015–2025 

Facilities Master Plan. The Master Plan 

will guide the future physical 

development of the HHS/CDC Roybal 

Campus in Atlanta, GA, for the years 

2015 to 2025. The proposed Master Plan 

does not constitute authorization or 

funding for any specific construction 

project. 

Background 

HHS/CDC is dedicated to protecting 

health and promoting quality of life 

through the prevention and control of 

disease, injury, and disability. HHS/ 

CDC, headquartered on Clifton Road in 

Atlanta, Georgia since 1958, is 

recognized as the lead Federal agency 

for protecting the health and safety of 

people. HHS/CDC provides credible 

information to enhance health 

decisions, and promotes health through 

strong partnerships. HHS/CDC serves as 

the national focus for developing and 

applying disease prevention and 

control, environmental health, and 

health promotion and education 

activities designed to improve the 

health of the people of the United 

States. 

Because the 2000–2009 Master Plan 

has been successfully implemented, 

HHS/CDC is planning to prepare a new 

Roybal Campus Facilities Master Plan 

for 2015–2025. The new Master Plan 

will cover a 10-year planning period 

and will examine potential growth in 

agency mission, laboratory and 

laboratory support space, office space 

and personnel on the Roybal Campus. 

The Master Plan will also examine 

alternative ways of supporting potential 

mission change or growth at the Roybal 

Campus, including new construction of 

laboratory and office buildings, as well 

as better use of existing space to house 

potential growth. The Master Plan will 

evaluate opportunities for future 

development of the site, and consider 

the limits and capacity of both the 

Roybal Campus proper and the 

surrounding community. The potential 

impacts of future development on the 

natural and built environment will be 

evaluated. 

In accordance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 

(NEPA) as implemented by the Council 

on Environmental Quality (CEQ) 

regulations (40 CFR Part 1500–1508), 

and the HHS environmental procedures, 

HHS/CDC will prepare an EIS for the 

proposed 2015–2025 Facilities Master 

Plan. Under NEPA, Federal agencies are 

required to evaluate the environmental 

effects of their proposed actions and a 

range of feasible alternatives to the 

proposed action before making a 

decision. Areas of concern include, but 

are not limited to: traffic and 

transportation; air quality; community 

services; natural resources; community 

and employee quality of life; and 

utilities (water and power). 

Scoping Process 

In accordance with NEPA, a Public 

Scoping process will be conducted to 

identify the range of major issues to be 

addressed relative to the proposed 

2015–2025 Facilities Master Plan. 

‘‘Scoping’’ is the early and open process 

for determining the scope of issues to be 

addressed and for identifying the 

significant issues related to selecting 

and implementing one of several 

potential Roybal Master Plan 

alternatives. During the scoping process, 

HHS/CDC will actively seek input from 

interested people, organizations, and 

Federal, state, and regional agencies to 

identify environmental concerns to be 

addressed in the EIS. The purpose of 

this Notice is to inform interested 

parties regarding HHS/CDC’s plan to 

prepare the EIS for the 2015–2025 

Facilities Master Plan, to provide 

information on the nature of the 

Proposed Action and to initiate the 

scoping process. The Scoping Meeting 

will consist of an ‘‘Open House’’ from 

7 p.m. to approximately 7:45 p.m., 

where HHS/CDC will make available a 

general site plan and publically 

available information on the current 

conditions of the Campus. HHS/CDC 

will also provide available data on 

possible future development

alternatives. Scoping comment cards 

will be provided at the Open House 

portion of the meeting for those who 

need to leave early but who wish to 

make a comment for the record. At 

approximately 8 p.m., HHS/CDC will 

give a brief overview of the current 

conditions and the planning and EIS 

processes. Individuals staying for this 

portion of the Scoping Meeting may 

make verbal statements or use a Scoping 

comment card. A stenographer will 

record this portion of the Scoping 

Meeting. An American Sign Language 

Interpreter will be available at both 

portions of the Scoping Meeting. The 

agenda is subject to change without 

notice. A transcript of the meeting and 

all comments received at the meeting 

will be posted to the public docket at 

www.regulations.gov.

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

Title: Understanding the Dynamics of 

Disconnection from Employment and 

Assistance. 

OMB No.: New Collection. 

Description: The Office of Planning, 

Research and Evaluation, 

Administration for Children and 

Families (ACF), U.S. Department of 

Health and Human Services (HHS), is 

proposing a data collection activity to 

improve understanding of low-income 

individuals and families who are 

disconnected from employment and 

from public assistance and particularly 

those not receiving cash assistance 

through the Temporary Assistance for 

Needy Families (TANF) program. ACF 

is proposing to use a discussion guide 

to collect qualitative information. The 

guide will be used to interview 

respondents in order to learn about their 

experiences with disconnection. Topics 

will include recent employment and 

reasons for not working; use of public 

benefit programs and reasons for using 

or not using specific benefits; their 

financial circumstances and material 

well-being including the stability and 

sources of income, housing and living 

arrangements; their coping strategies for 

addressing their circumstances; and 

their views on potential pathways to 

improve their financial and material 

well-being. 

Information will be collected in two 

sites with relatively high concentrations 

of low-income families: Los Angeles, 

California and Southeast Michigan. 

Respondents will be sampled from two 

existing longitudinal surveys in those 

sites: The Best Start Los Angeles Pilot 

Community Evaluation, currently led by 

the Urban Institute’s Health Policy 

Center and the Center for Healthier 

Children, Families and Communities at 

the University of California Los Angeles 

(UCLA), and the Michigan Recession 

and Recovery Study OIRTO, conducted 

by the National Poverty Center of the 

University of Michigan. 

Respondents: Low-income women 

who have resident children and who are 

neither employed nor receiving TANF 

or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) 

for themselves. Women who are 

currently employed or receiving TANF 

may be included in the study if they 

experienced at least six months of 

unemployment in the past two years, 

had a child Lid were unmarried during 

the period of unemployment, and were 

not receiving TANF at the time.
