SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: GSA 

identified one action alternative that 

meets the stated purpose and need of 

the proposed project and thus has been 

analyzed in detail in the DEIS. GSA also 

analyzed a ‘‘No Action’’ alternative, 

which evaluates the effects that would 

occur if GSA continued to operate the 

LPOE under current conditions (i.e., the 

status quo). 

Alternative 1 consists of expanding 

and modernizing the existing Alcan 

LPOE. Alternative 1 would include: 

land acquisition; site preparation and 

grading; construction of a new Main 

LPOE Building, enclosed inspection 

vehicle spaces, new housing units with 

improved security measures, a firing 

range, and a helipad; and demolition of 

the existing LPOE structures. Land 

acquisition under Alternative 1 would 

expand the port to include up to 2.5 

acres of land south of and across the 

Alaska Highway from the existing 

LPOE. 

All facility and infrastructure 

improvements proposed under 

Alternative 1 would incorporate a 

sustainable, climate-resilient, cybersecure, and operationally efficient 

design. GSA would seek to meet or 

exceed energy and sustainability goals 

established by federal guidelines and 

policies, along with industry standard 

building codes and best practices. 

Based on CBP and GSA design 

standards, the total enclosed building 

area required for the modernized Alcan 

LPOE and housing would be 129,145 

square feet (sf) with an additional 3,820 

sf of booths and canopies and 3,600 sf 

of outdoor parking and hard surfaces. 

Alternative 1 would provide dualpurpose inspection lanes to allow for 

flexibility of inspection operations as 

well as enclosed spaces for secondary 

inspection of POVs and commercial 

vehicles. A modernized Main LPOE 

Building would also enhance the 

holding and interview capabilities of the 

Alcan LPOE to meet current CBP 

security standards. 

There would be approximately 15 

acres of temporary ground disturbance 

and 5 acres of permanent ground 

disturbance under Alternative 1. 

Approximately 5 acres would be used as 

a staging area during construction. 

There are currently 8 acres of 

impermeable surfaces at the LPOE; 

expansion and modernization would 

add an estimated 4 additional acres of 

impervious surfaces. 

GSA and CBP are considering an 

option under Alternative 1 to pursue 

joint operation of the Alcan LPOE with 

the Canada Border Services Agency 

(CBSA). CBSA and CBP officers would 

jointly operate the facility to conduct 

inspections of U.S. commercial vehicles 

and POVs entering Canada; however, no 

housing would be provided for CBSA 

officers at Alcan. This option would not 

affect the design or CBP staffing of the 

expanded and modernized Alcan LPOE, 

nor contribute additional environmental 

impacts under the action alternative, 

and hence is not analyzed further in the 

DEIS. GSA also evaluated a No Action 

alternative, which assumes that 

expansion or modernization of the 

LPOE would not occur and that port 

operations would continue under 

current conditions. The No Action 

alternative does not meet the stated 

purpose and need of the proposed 

project. 

Classification: The DEIS was prepared 

in compliance with the NEPA, as 

amended (42 United States Code 

[U.S.C.] et seq.), which requires federal 

agencies to examine the impacts of their 

proposed projects or actions on the 

human and natural environment and 

consider alternatives to the proposal 

before deciding on taking an action. The 

DEIS complies with the 2020 Council on 

Environmental Quality (CEQ) NEPA 

regulations (40 Code of Federal 

Regulations [CFR] 1500–1508), as 

modified by the Phase I 2022 revisions. 

The effective date of the 2022 revisions 

was May 20, 2022, and reviews that 

began after this date are required to 

apply the 2020 regulations as modified 

by the Phase I revisions unless there is 

a clear and fundamental conflict with an 

applicable statute. The DEIS effort began 

on January 10, 2023, and accordingly 

proceeds under the 2020 regulations as 

modified by the Phase I revisions. In 

addition, the DEIS also complies with 

the GSA Public Buildings Service NEPA 

Desk Guide and other relevant federal 

and state laws and regulations and 

executive orders and integrates the 

consultation processes required under 

Section 106 of the National Historic 

Preservation Act and Section 7 of the 

Endangered Species Act with the NEPA 

process.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: These sole 

source award(s) will achieve and sustain 

HIV/TB epidemic control through 

sustainable high-quality comprehensive 

HIV prevention and treatment services, 

health service delivery models, and 

health systems in Kenya, Mozambique 

and West Africa-Senegal. 

Kisumu County GovernmentDepartment of Health Service is in a 

unique position to conduct this work as 

the 2010 Kenyan constitution prescribed 

roles for the county governments, 

whereby each county is responsible for 

provision of health care services to its 

residents. Accordingly, in this 

devolution of health service delivery to 

the county level, Kisumu County 

Department of Health Service has the 

sole mandate to manage the public 

health response to HIV/AIDS in the 

county. Another county government is 

not allowed to implement services 

within Kisumu County. 

Servic ̧os Provincial de Sau ́de Gaza is 

in a unique position to conduct this 

work given that the Servic ̧os Provincial 

de Sau ́de in Mozambique are 

government organizations established 

by law and mandated to plan, 

coordinate, and supervise all healthrelated activities at the tertiary and 

secondary level, including HIV/AIDS 

activities, within their provincial 

jurisdiction. The Servic ̧os Provincial de 

Sau ́de is the Provincial Agency of the 

State Apparatus, which according to the 

principles, objectives, and tasks defined 

by the Government of Mozambique 

directs and ensures the execution of 

health activities at the provincial level. 

Servic ̧os Provincial de Saude 

Nampula is in a unique position to 

conduct this work as it is the dedicated 

government entity delegated by 

Mozambican Government which 

oversees the health portfolio including 

HIV and TB services in the province of 

Nampula. In Mozambique, the 

governmental public health 

infrastructure is organized into the 

central or national entity (Ministry of 

Health or the Provincial Health 

Directorates) that implement activities 

at the primary healthcare level, and the 

Provincial Health Service (Servic ̧os 

Provincial de Saude), that lead all 

health services within the province. 

MHSA is in a unique position to 

conduct this work, as it is responsible 

for administrating government-provided 

health services and implementing 

national government policies on health 

care and public health in Senegal. The 

MHSA is the only entity authorized by 

the government of Senegal to provide 

and manage comprehensive health 

services within the country in 

accordance with approved national 

policies.
