Background 

The FHWA, in cooperation with the 

District of Columbia Department of 

Transportation (DDOT) intends to adopt 

those portions of an approved Final EIS, 

related to the specific transportation 

aspects, for consolidation of the 

Department of Homeland Security 

(DHS) Headquarters offices located in 

the District of Columbia. The FHWA, in 

consultation with the DDOT, will 

determine if additional documentation 

will be provided as a supplement to this 

Final EIS prior to issuing a decision 

document. The Final EIS was prepared 

by the General Services Administration, 

National Capital Region. The FHWA, 

DDOT and other federal agencies are 

cooperating agencies for this Final EIS. 

The Revised Notice of Intent for the EIS 

appeared in the FR, Volume 72, Number 

124, June 28, 2007. The project consists 

of consolidation of the DHS 

Headquarters at the St. Elizabeths 

Campus in Southeast Washington, DC. 

DHS requested that GSA fulfill its 

requirement of collocating 4.5 million 

gross square feet of office; with parking, 

the project would accommodate up to 

6.4 million gross square feet of 

development and adaptive re-use. The 

EIS considered the social, 

environmental, and economic impacts 

of the project. The No-Action 

alternative, three campus 

redevelopment alternatives, four 

interchange alternatives (I–295/Malcolm 

X Interchange) and a transportation nobuild alternative were considered in the 

Final EIS. 

Agency Action 

The FHWA action subject to the 

requirements of the National 

Environmental Policy Act for this 

project is approval of modifications to 

the I–295/Malcolm X Interchange, and a 

related access road. Approval of 

modifications to the interchange may 

have the potential to impact other 

transportation infrastructure in the 

District of Columbia. The GSA preferred 

alternative is identified in the Final EIS. 

In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 303, the 

FHWA has also prepared and 

coordinated the distribution of a Section 

4(f) Evaluation for the project. The 

Evaluation assesses the reasonable 

transportation alternatives subject to 

Section 4(f) to determine if they are they 

are the only feasible and prudent 

alternatives pursuant to Section 4(f). In 

addition, FHWA will prepare its own 

Record of Decision for the Selected 

Alternative in accordance with 40 CFR 

1505.2. 

(Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance 

Program Number 20.205, Highway Planning 

and Construction. The regulations 

implementing Executive Order 12372 

regarding intergovernmental consultation on 

Federal programs and activities apply to this 

proposed action.) 

Authority: 23 U.S.C. 315; 49 CFR 1.48. 

Dated: January 14, 2009.
