Based on its finding of no significant impacts, GSA has determined that an Environmental Impact Statement need not be prepared. DATES: A public meeting to solicit comments and provide information about the Final EA and FONSI will be held on Thursday, March 29, 2018, from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., Pacific Time (PT).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: [[Page 12012]] Background Details of the Preferred Alternative were described in the NEPA document entitled Final Environmental Assessment for the USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service Plant Inspection Station at the Otay Mesa Land Port of Entry, San Diego, California (JMT, 2018). The Draft EA was published and circulated among responsible government agencies and the public for a period of no less than 30 days, ending on December 29, 2017. A public meeting on the Draft EA was held on December 5, 2017. Comments received during the meeting and circulation period were considered by GSA in this final decision. The finding, which is based on the EA, reflects GSA's determination that the construction of the proposed facility will not have a significant impact on the quality of the human or natural environment. Finding Pursuant to the provision of GSA Order ADM 1095.1F, the PBS NEPA Desk Guide, and the regulations issued by the Council of Environmental Quality, (40 CFR parts 1500 to 1508), this notice advises the public of our finding that the action described above will not significantly affect the quality of the human environment. The Finding of No Significant Impact will become final 30 days after the publication of this notice, provided that no information leading to the contrary finding is received or comes to light during this period.
