This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov.
The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status. For complete information about, and access to, our official publications and services, go to About the Federal Register on NARA's archives.gov.
The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for legal research should verify their results against an official edition of the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.
FederalRegister.gov retrieves relevant information about this document from Regulations.gov to provide users with additional context. This information is not part of the official Federal Register document.

Pursuant to the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) and the GSA Public Buildings Service NEPA Desk Guide, GSA is issuing this notice to announce the availability of the Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (DSEIS), which evaluates potential environmental impacts from proposed flood control and utility upgrades in support of the Raul Hector Castro (RHC) Land Port of Entry (LPOE) Expansion and Modernization Project in Douglas, Arizona.

The meeting will be held in the Douglas Visitor Center (see ADDRESSES section for location address), where interested parties are invited to join and provide verbal or written comments on the DSEIS and Floodplain Assessment and Statement of Findings.

The DSEIS describes the purpose and need for the project; alternatives considered; the existing environment that could be affected; the potential impacts resulting from each of the alternatives; and proposed best management practices and impact reduction and mitigation measures. The DSEIS also includes the Draft Finding of No Practicable Alternative (FONPA), which provides a floodplain assessment and statement of findings as a result of construction in a floodplain in the project area.
The views and comments of the public are necessary in helping GSA in its decision-making process with impacts to environmental and cultural impacts. The meeting will be an informal open house, where visitors may speak with GSA representatives and provide written comments. No formal presentation will be provided. All comments received will be considered equally and will become part of the public record.
