SUMMARY: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) within 
the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is issuing this 
notice to advise the public that HHS/CDC has prepared, and signed on 
January 3, 2013, a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) based on 
the Final Environmental Assessment (FINAL EA) for Metropolitan Sewer 
District of Greater Cincinnati Easement on the HHS/CDC/NIOSH Taft North 
Campus, Cincinnati, Ohio. HHS/CDC prepared the final EA, dated November 
2012, in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).

DATES: The FONSI and/or Final EA are available as of the publication 
date of this notice.

ADDRESSES: Interested parties may request copies of the FONSI and/or 
Final EA, from: Mr. Sam Tarr, Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention, Buildings and Facilities Office, 1600 Clifton Road NE., 
Mailstop K96, Atlanta, GA, 30333. Telephone Number (770) 488-8170.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Final EA evaluated the granting of an 
easement to the Metropolitan Sewer District of Greater Cincinnati (MSD) 
for the sole purpose of installing sanitary sewer and storm sewer 
improvements to the MSD's existing sewer system and the rehabilitation 
and expansion of an existing storm water detention basin. The proposed 
easement covers approximately 0.64 acres located adjacent to the 
intersection of Grandin Road and Grand Beech Lane, Cincinnati, Ohio. 
The EA also evaluated the construction activities associated with the 
MSD's sanitary sewer and storm sewer improvements. The purpose and need 
of the proposed easement is to provide access to MSD to implement/
construct MSD sanitary sewer and storm sewer improvements on Federally-
owned land in the custody and control of HHS/CDC.
    The Final EA has been prepared in accordance with the National 
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969. Based on the results of the 
EA, HHS/CDC has issued a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) 
indicating that the proposed action will not have a significant impact 
on the environment. Minimization and mitigating measures will include: 
Compliance with applicable regulatory laws, procedures, and permits for 
all construction activities; development and implementation of Erosion 
and Sedimentation Control Plan; conduct potential habitat survey for 
identified wildlife; site review by state historic preservation office 
before construction to avoid disturbance of any site with the potential 
for archeological significance; and the application of best management 
practices (BMP) to minimize short term air quality and noise impact 
during construction activities.

    Dated: January 16, 2013.
