**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

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.
