SUMMARY: The General Services Administration (GSA) will prepare an 
Environmental Assessment (EA) that will analyze and discuss the 
environmental impacts of renovations of the Charles F. Prevedel Federal 
Building and demolition of buildings 100, 101, and 102 at the Federal 
Records Center, Page Complex, located in Overland, Missouri. Through 
the project, GSA proposes to relocate Federal tenants into the Charles 
F. Prevedel Federal Building. The Page Federal Complex is located at 
9700 Page Blvd., Overland, Missouri, which is in Missouri's 1st 
Congressional District.
    In the EA, GSA will discuss impacts that could occur as a result of 
the construction and operation of the proposed project. GSA will also 
evaluate the ``No Action'' and other reasonable alternatives to the 
proposed project, or portions of the project, and consider how to 
lessen or avoid impacts on the various resource areas.

    Public meeting date is: February 28, 2011, 2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    General: This EA is being prepared pursuant to the National 
Environmental Policy Act, 42 U.S.C. 4321 (NEPA), and regulations 
implementing NEPA issued by the Council on Environmental Quality (40 
CFR 1500-1508), GSA ADM 1095.1, the GSA PBS NEPA Desk Guide and other 
applicable regulations and policies. The EA will inform GSA in its 
decision-making process. Compliance with the National Historic 
Preservation Act (NHPA), including NHPA Section 106, and other laws and 
requirements, will be coordinated with this EA process, and government 
agencies that are affected by the proposed actions or have special 
expertise will be consulted. An independent analysis of the issues will 
be presented in the EA. The EA will be placed in the public record and 
a comment period will be allotted on the Draft EA. GSA will consider 
all comments on the EA before making a final decision.
    Purpose of Notice: The purpose of this notice is to (1) Announce 
GSA's intent to prepare an EA; (2) announce the initiation of the 
public scoping process; (3) invite public participation during the 
scoping process and at the public scoping meeting; and (4) request 
public comments on the scope of the EA, including the potential 
environmental impacts associated with the proposed action.
    Further Information on Public Participation and Dates: The public 
is encouraged to provide GSA with specific comments or concerns about 
the project. Comments should focus on the potential environmental 
effects, reasonable alternatives, and measures to avoid or lessen 
environmental impacts.
    In addition to the above methods for submission of comments, those 
interested may also file a paper copy of comments, by regular mail, to 
Jeremiah Nelson, GSA Region 6 NEPA Coordinator, 1500 E. Bannister Road, 
Room 2135, Kansas City, Missouri 64131 or verbally offer comments to 
GSA's Region 6 NEPA Coordinator by calling (816) 823-5803. Again, 
comments should be sent to GSA on or before March 17, 2011. With any 
comments, before including address, phone number, e-mail address, or 
other personal identifying information in your comment, be advised that 
the entire comment, including personal identifying information, may be 
made publicly available at any time. While you can ask in your comment 
to withhold from public review personal identifying information, GSA 
cannot guarantee that it will be able to do so.
    Finally, in lieu of or in addition to sending written comments, GSA 
also invites you to attend the public scoping meeting scheduled and 
discussed in the body of this notice, above. Comments made at the 
public scoping meeting will also be considered in the EA process.
    State and local government representatives are asked to notify 
their constituents of this planned project and encourage them to 
comment on their areas of concern.
    A fact sheet prepared by GSA will be made available at the Public 
Scoping Meeting and will be posted to a GSA Project Web site (http://www.gsa.gov/r6news), thereafter.
