SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On February 16, 2016 CDC published a Notice 
of Availability for the Final Environmental Assessment (2016 Final EA) 
and FONSI for the HHS/CDC's Lawrenceville Campus Proposed Improvements 
2015-2025 (81 FR 7800). The 2016 Final EA assessed the potential 
impacts associated with the undertaking of proposed improvements on the 
HHS/CDC's Lawrenceville Campus located at 602 Webb Gin House Road in 
Lawrenceville, Georgia. The proposed improvements include: (1) Building 
demolition; (2) new building construction, including an approximately 
12,000 gross square feet (gsf) Science Support Building, a new 
Transshipping and Receiving Area at approximately 2,500 gsf and two new 
small Office Support Buildings at 8,000 gsf and 6,000 gsf; (3) 
expansion and relocation of parking on campus; and (4) the creation of 
an additional point of access to the campus.
    Since the completion of the 2016 Final EA and FONSI, HHS/CDC 
proposed changes to the Proposed Action to include the installation of 
a photovoltaic system. HHS/CDC revised the EA in order to evaluate the 
potential environmental impacts association with the new photovoltaic 
system. On September 22, 2017 HHS/CDC published a NOA in the Federal 
Register announcing the availability of the Revised EA and requested 
public comment. The comment period ended on October 23, 2017.
    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 Revised 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. Copies of the FONSI and/or Final 
Revised EA are available by contacting Stephen Klim (please see FOR 
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT).
