Notice of Availability to Distribute a Final Environmental Impact 
Statement for the Construction of a New Border Station Facility in 
Derby Line, Vermont

AGENCY: Public Buildings Service, GSA.

ACTION: Notice of Availability.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The General Services Administration (GSA) announces its intent 
to distribute a Final Environmental Impact Statement (Final EIS) under 
the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, as amended, 42 
USC 4321-4347 (NEPA) to assess the potential impacts of the 
construction of a New Border Station Facility in Derby Line, Vermont 
(the ``Proposed Action''). At the request of Customs andBorder 
Protection (CBP), the GSA is proposing to construct a new border 
station facility which meets their needs, and the design requirements 
of the GSA.
    The existing facilities are undersized and obsolete, and 
consequently incapable of providing the level of security now required. 
The Proposed Action has been defined and includes: (a) identification 
of land requirements, including acquisition of adjoining land; (b) 
demolition of existing government structures at the border station; (c) 
construction of a main administration building and ancillary support 
buildings; and (d) consequent potential alterations to secondary roads.
    Studied alternatives have identified alternative locations for the 
components of the border station including the main administration and 
ancillary support buildings, the associated roadway network and 
parking. A No Action alternative has also been studied and evaluates 
the consequences of not constructing the new border station facility. 
This alternative has been included to provide a basis for comparison to 
the action alternatives described above as required by NEPA regulations 
(40 CFR 1002.14(d)).

DATES: July 30, 2007.
