Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS), Development of a 
Clifton Road Campus Annex, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; 
Atlanta, GA

    Pursuant to the requirements of the National Environmental Policy 
Act (NEPA) of 1969, and the President's Council on Environmental 
Quality Regulations (40 CFR 1500-1508), as implemented by General 
Services Administration (GSA) Order PBS P 1095.4B, GSA announces the 
availability of the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) for a 
30 day comment period, for the long-term development, over a twenty 
year horizon, of a campus annex (West Campus) to house the Centers for 
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, Georgia. Comments 
should be addressed directly to GSA. The 30-day comment period will 
begin with the publication of this Notice in the Federal Register.
    The FEIS examined the short and long term impacts on the natural 
and built environments of developing and operating a mix of laboratory, 
office, and support space at the proposed West Campus. The DEIS also 
examined measures to mitigate unavoidable adverse impacts of the 
proposed action. The Main CDC Campus occupies 27.6 acres, and is 
bounded by Clifton Road to the north, Michael Street to the south and 
east, and Clifton Way to the west. CDC currently occupies approximately 
884,000 gross square feet in 17 buildings, housing some 1,900 
personnel. Approximately 60 percent of gross square footage consists of 
laboratory space, the remainder being office, administrative, and 
facility support space. There are approximately 1,800 parking spaces on 
site.
    To meet CDC's known facility replacement needs, and to provide 
future expansion space, GSA proposes to acquire and develop 
approximately 17.6 acres bounded by Clifton Road to the north, Clifton 
Way to the east, and Michael Street to the south and west (West 
Campus). The maximum anticipated development over a twenty year 
planning horizon is approximately 633,000 additional gross square feet 
of laboratory, office, and support space, and 1,521 additional parking 
spaces.
    GSA has identified the following alternatives in the EIS:
     ``No Action,'' that is, undertake no site acquisition and 
development at all.
     Full Acquisition of 17.6 acres and full development of the 
proposed West Campus Site, previously described. This is the GSA/CDC 
preferred alternative and the proposed action.
     Limited Expansion by acquisition of less than the full 
17.6 acres and development and expansion on a portion of the 17.6 acres 
and on the existing campus.
     On site consolidation and no additional site acquisition, 
with development occurring on the existing government-owned CDC Campus 
site.
    GSA solicits comments on the FEIS in writing: Mr. George Chandler 
or Mr. Phil Youngberg, GSA/PBS Portfolio Management--4PT, 401 West 
Peachtree Street NW., Suite 3010, Atlanta, GA 30365 or, FAX your
