{"abstract":"The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), in cooperation with the General Services Administration (GSA), announces the availability of a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the proposed acquisition of a site in Mace, West Virginia, and the development of this site into a replacement for the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Underground Safety Research Program facility (Proposed Action). The proposed acquisition and development would replace the former Lake Lynn Experimental Mine in Fayette County, Pennsylvania, and would support research programs focused on miner health and safety issues. The site being considered for acquisition and development includes 461.35 acres located off U.S. Route 219 in Randolph and Pocahontas Counties near Mace, West Virginia (Site). The Draft EIS and this notice are published pursuant to the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) as implemented by the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) Regulations (40 CFR parts 1500-1508). In parallel with the NEPA process, CDC is also conducting consultation under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act to evaluate the potential effects, if any, of the Proposed Action on historic properties. A Notice of Intent for this Draft EIS was published in the Federal Register on June 14, 2018 (83 FR 27781).","action":"Notice of availability; announcement of public meeting; and request for comments.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES","name":"Health and Human Services Department","id":221,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/health-and-human-services-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/221","parent_id":null,"slug":"health-and-human-services-department"},{"raw_name":"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention","name":"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention","id":44,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/centers-for-disease-control-and-prevention","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/44","parent_id":221,"slug":"centers-for-disease-control-and-prevention"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2019/02/14/2019-01910.html","cfr_references":[],"citation":"84 FR 4070","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Public Meeting: A public meeting in open house format will be held on March 6, 2019, in Slatyfork, West Virginia, to present the findings of the Draft EIS and to solicit comments.
