SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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, 

reclassification of pathogens 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 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 7 / Friday, January 10, 2014 / Notices 1871 

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 

preferred alternative was the result of an 

extensive screening process, which 

identified and evaluated a range of 

conceptual development alternatives 

based on future program needs, campus 

constraints, and specifically developed 

selection criteria. Selection criteria 

included the examination of regional 

and local planning policy, utility 

demand, air quality, commute time, 

transportation system capacity and 

greenhouse gas effects. 

Alternatives Considered 

HHS/CDC analyzed two alternatives 

in the DEIS: 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, the new laboratory building 

would contain approximately 350,000 to 

450,000 gross square feet and would be 

constructed on an existing surface 

parking lot located in the eastern 

portion of the Roybal Campus. In 

addition to a new laboratory, a new 

approximately 1,600 space parking deck 

would be constructed just south of the 

new laboratory building. 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. 

HHS/CDC anticipates that the 

construction of the new parking deck 

would increase the campus parking cap 

from 3,300 to approximately 4,500 

spaces. The employee population at the 

Roybal Campus is projected to increase 

by approximately 1,485 new occupants 

under the Master Plan preferred 

alternative in 2025. 

The No Action Alternative represents 

continued operation of the existing 

facilities at the Roybal Campus without 

any new construction or 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 evaluates the environmental 

impacts that may result from the 

Proposed Action and the No Action 

Alternative on the natural and built 

environment. Potential direct, indirect 

and cumulative impacts of each 

alternative are evaluated on the 

following resource categories: 

socioeconomics, land use, zoning, 

public policy, community facilities, 

transportation, air quality, noise, 

cultural resources, urban design and 

visual resources, natural resources, 

utilities, waste, and greenhouse gases 

and sustainability. The DEIS identifies 

measures to mitigate potential adverse 

impacts. 

Availability of the DEIS: Copies of the 

DEIS have been distributed to federal, 

state and local agencies and 

organizations. The DEIS is also available 

online on the Federal eRulemaking 

Portal: http://www.regulations.gov,
