SUMMARY: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), within

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 22, 2017 CDC announced the 
availability for public comment of a Draft Environmental Assessment 
(Draft EA) for the implementation of the CDC Chamblee Campus 2025 
Master Plan (Master Plan) (82 FR 14733). CDC's Chamblee Campus is 
located at 4770 Buford Highway, Chamblee, Georgia. The Draft EA was 
available for a 60-day public comment period that ended on May 22, 
2017. Six comments were received to the docket; none of the comments 
raised specific issues or concerns with the methodology, analysis, 
conclusion or accuracy of the EA.
    The Draft EA was prepared in accordance with the National 
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), as amended (42 U.S.C. 4321 et 
seq.), the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) implementing 
regulations (40 CFR 1500-1508) and the HHS General Administration 
Manual (GAM) Part 30 Environmental Procedures, dated February 25, 2000. 
CDC has determined that the proposed action would not have a 
significant impact on the human or natural environment and therefore, 
the preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement is not required. 
Copies of the FONSI and/or Final EA are available by contacting Angela 
Wagner (please see FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT).
    The Chamblee Campus 2025 Master Plan provides a framework for 
future growth on the Chamblee Campus in order to ensure that the campus 
can support CDC's mission and to guide strategic decisions about the 
allocation of Federal resources. The Master Plan identifies a number of 
potential improvements that may be completed through the 2025 
timeframe, and establishes design and planning guidelines.
    The proposed improvements include: (1) New building construction, 
including an approximately 386,000 gross square feet (gsf) office 
building, an approximately 415,000 gsf laboratory building and an 
adjacent approximately 10,000 gsf laboratory material handling 
facility; and a new, approximately 20,000 gsf, central utility plant 
(CUP); (2) building demolition; (3) expansion and reconfiguration of 
parking on campus; (4) installation of a comprehensive solar 
photovoltaic system; (5) improvements to the campus entrances; and (6) 
additional infrastructure improvements.
    CDC assessed the potential impacts of the proposed improvements on 
the

natural and human environment and determined that the proposed action 
would not result in significant adverse impacts. Based on the results 
of the Final EA, CDC has issued a FONSI indicating the proposed action 
will not have a significant impact on the environment. The Build 
Alternative will be undertaken in accordance with the best management 
practices (BMPs), minimization and mitigation measures as presented in 
the Final EA and FONSI.

    Dated: October 25, 2017.
