review required by law. The new Federal Urban Design Element provides 
policies that will guide the design and management of federal buildings 
and properties so as to enhance their adjacent public realm. It will 
also provide a framework for federal actions related to enhancing the 
overall character of the District of Columbia and the National Capital 
Region. The Federal Preservation and Historic Features Element 
articulates policies that guide federal actions preserving Washington's 
historic character and providing better stewardship of historic 
resources. All interested parties are invited to submit written 
comment. The draft Federal Urban Design Element and draft revised 
Federal Preservation and Historic Features Element will be available
