Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 41 / Thursday, March 2, 1995 / Notices 11687

H. Referral, where appropriate, of the

proposed master plan to the

Commission’s Coordinating Committee.

Upon receipt of a master plan for a

Federal or District of Columbia

installation in the District of Columbia,

the Commission will refer the master

plan to its Coordinating Committee,

pursuant to Section 2(d) of the Planning

Act, for review and coordination. The

committee is composed of

representatives of Federal and District of

Columbia agencies involved in planning

and development activities. The master

plan will also be referred to the Council

of Governments and the designated

intergovernmental review official of the

District of Columbia.

I. Review and preparation of

recommendations by the Commission

staff. Following the receipt of comments

from other organizations and the

Coordinating Committee, where

appropriate, the staff will prepare

recommendations for action by the

Commission on the master plan. The

staff recommendations will be provided

to the Commission and made available

to the sponsoring agency and the

general public approximately one week

in advance of the schedule Commission

review and action on the plan.

J. Notification to the public and

public participation in Commission

review. In accordance with the

Commission’s ‘‘Revised Procedures for

Public Participation’’, organizations in

the vicinity of an installation will

receive a notice titled ‘‘Tentative

Agenda Items’’ indicating the tentative

schedule for the Commission’s review of

a master plan submission. Organizations

or individuals may submit written

comments for consideration by the

Executive Director of the Commission in

the preparation of staff

recommendations. In addition,

organizations or individuals may appear

before the Commission to comment on

a master plan submission and/or to

comment on the Commission staff’s

recommendations on the submission.

K. Review and action by the

Commission. The Commission will

review the master plan submission at a

scheduled meeting. The sponsoring

agency will be notified by the staff of

the schedule for Commission review,

and the staff will coordinate with the

agency concerning a presentation of the

submission to the Commission.

L. Official notification of Commission

action on the master plan. Notification

of the Commission action on the master

plan will be provided by letter to the

sponsoring agency immediately

following such action.

Section 6—Time Period for Review

Master plans for installations for

which a referral to local, regional, and

state agencies is required will be subject

to a review period of approximately 90

days, whenever possible, 60 days of

which will be devoted to review by the

agencies receiving the referral. A

sponsoring agency may request a

reduction of 30 days of this review

period from the Executive Director of

the Commission is special and unusual

circumstances warrant, but every effort

should be made to comply with the 90-

day review.

Section 7—Presubmission

Requirements

As noted in Section 5.A. at the time

of initial informal consultation on the

proposed preparation of a master plan,

the sponsoring agency and Commission

staff will determine whether, because of

special characteristics of an installation

or the developments being considered

for that installation, there is a need for

any type of presentation to the

Commission prior to the preparation

and submission of the master plan. In

some cases a presentation for

information purposes may be

appropriate to provide an opportunity

for the Commission to become familiar

at an early stage with an evolving

development proposal.

In other cases, the submission of site

boundaries, a development program,

and development concepts may be

required to obtain Commission views

and action on an acquisition proposal

pursuant to Section 5(a) of the Planning

Act prior to the expenditure of funds for

the preparation of a master plan. Where

land is already under the jurisdiction of

the sponsoring agency, the submission

of development concepts to obtain

Commission views on a particular

proposal in advance of the preparation

of a master plan may also be appropriate

under certain circumstances. In cases

where a presubmission of some form or

a presentation is determined to be

required or warranted, the contents will

be determined through consultation by

the sponsoring agency with the

Commission staff.

Section 8—Amendments or

Modifications to Master Plans

The process outlined above also

applies to proposed modifications or

revisions to master plans that have been

previously approved by the

Commission. Once a master plan has

been approved, regional review of

subsequent proposed modifications or

revisions will be required only where

the Executive Director of the

Commission, in consultation with the

sponsoring agency and affected local

jurisdiction(s), determines that: (1) A

major change in the character or

intensity of an existing use is proposed,

or (2) the proposed modifications or

revisions would significantly change the

off-site impact of the Federal activities

and uses carried out within the site.

Section 9—Review and Updating of

Master Plans

Agencies are encouraged to review

master plans on a periodic basis to

insure that both inventory material and

development proposals are current.

Such reviews should be conducted at

least every five years. Sponsoring

agencies should advise the Commission

of the results of such reviews and

provide to the Commission proposed

schedules for the updating of master

plans of a five-year cycle when updating

is determined to be needed.

Deputy Executive Director.
