Food Safety and Inspection Service

[Docket No. 96–019N]

Location of Proposed Technical

Service Center; Opportunity To

Present Alternative Sites for

Consideration

AGENCY: Food Safety and Inspection

Service, USDA.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The Food Safety and

Inspection Service (FSIS) is considering

creating a Technical Service Center to

provide technical assistance, advice,

and guidance for FSIS Field Operations

personnel and the regulated meat,

poultry, and egg products industries.

FSIS is providing interested parties the

opportunity to present recommended

sites for its proposed Technical Service

Center.

DATES: Requests to make a presentation

to the Agency must be received by June

14, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Mr. O.V. Cummings,

Director, Administrative Services

Division, Food Safety and Inspection

Service, 14th and Independence Ave.,

SW, Washington, D.C. 20250.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.

O.V. Cummings or Mr. Glen Durst at the

above address or at (202) 720–3551, Fax

(202) 205–7392.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FSIS has

submitted a proposed reorganization

plan to the Secretary of Agriculture for

approval. The plan establishes a

Technical Service Center to provide

technical assistance, advice, and

guidance for FSIS Field Operations

personnel and the regulated meat,

poultry, and egg products industries.

The Center would house approximately

100 FSIS employees to provide

guidance on the enforcement and

application of FSIS domestic and import

regulations, policies, and systems.

Approximately half of the employees

that would be assigned to the Center are

currently located in the Washington,

D.C. area, with the remainder of the

employees in the five Regional Offices

or other locations. Locating the Center

in the Washington D.C. area would

result in the lowest initial cost to the

Agency because there would be no

relocation costs for employees already

assigned to the Washington D.C. area. In

addition, locating the Center in the

Washington, D.C. metropolitan area

would enhance FSIS’s ability to

coordinate Agency functions with the

Center.

However, locating the Center in a

rural area could serve the Agency well

in the long term. Experience shows that

it is easier to recruit employees in areas

where the cost of living is relatively

low. In addition, locating the Center in

the middle of the country would make

it easier to serve field personnel and

industry because the time difference

between the Center and offices located

on the east and west coast would not be

so great.

FSIS invites recommendations

regarding the location of the Technical

Service Center. Persons interested in

proposing sites for the Center should

address issues of initial costs, other

costs, and benefits associated with a

particular, recommended location. The

proposed locations should, at a

minimum, meet the following criteria:

• Offer an adequate selection of

moderate to middle income housing.

• Be within reasonable driving

distance to a major airport because there

will be occasional travel to and from the

18 proposed district offices and

Washington, D.C.

• Have nearby hotel/motel

accommodations.

• Have available office space to

support the Center staff (approximately

20,000 square feet).

The presentations may be given in

person, on videotape, or by conference

call. Written recommendations should

be sent to Mr. O.V. Cummings (See

ADDRESSES).

The Agency will contact respondents

to schedule the presentations to be

given at FSIS headquarters. Presenters

from outside the Washington D.C. area

who wish to make presentations at FSIS

headquarters must make their own

travel arrangements and pay their own

travel expenses.

Done at Washington, DC, on May 9, 1996.

Michael R. Taylor,

Acting Under Secretary for Food Safety.
