Final EIS) and issuing the Record of Decision dated November 7, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CDC intends to prepare an SEIS to analyze
the potential impacts of proposed components that were not analyzed in
the 2014 Final EIS. Proposed components that will be analyzed in the
SEIS include the addition of a Hospital, Medical, and Infectious Waste
Incinerator in a new laboratory and two emergency standby power diesel
generators. The construction of a new laboratory was included in the
2014 Final EIS and will not be re-evaluated in the SEIS.
In accordance with NEPA as implemented by CEQ regulations (Title 40
CFR Section 1507.3) and HHS environmental procedures, CDC will prepare
an SEIS to analyze the effects of proposed components that were not
analyzed in the 2014 Final EIS. The potential impacts of construction
and operation of these components on the natural and built environment
will be evaluated.
Under the NEPA, federal agencies are required to evaluate the
environmental effects of their proposed actions and a range of feasible
alternatives to the proposed actions prior to making a final decision
about what actions to take. The SEIS will incorporate the 2014 Final
EIS by reference and will build upon that document to focus on specific
resource areas that would have potential effects different from those
analyzed in the 2014 Final EIS. Areas of anticipated concern include,
but are not limited to, the following: Air quality, climate change and
sustainability, environmental justice, and hazardous materials and
hazardous waste.
Scoping Process
The scoping process is a requirement of NEPA and serves to identify
the full range of environmental issues and inform the interested or
affected parties of the proposed action. During the scoping process,
CDC will actively seek input from the public, interested persons,
organizations, and federal, state, and regional agencies to identify
environmental concerns to be addressed in the SEIS. The purpose of this
Notice is to inform interested or affected parties of CDC's plan to
prepare the SEIS for component changes to a new laboratory that were
not analyzed in the 2014 Final EIS, to provide information on the
nature of the proposed actions, and to initiate the scoping process.
NEPA does not require a public scoping meeting for an SEIS, and CDC
will not conduct a public scoping meeting. CDC will conduct a virtual
public meeting during the public comment period for the draft SEIS (a
separate notice will be published for that comment period).
Dated: January 25, 2022.
Angela K. Oliver,
Executive Secretary, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
