Public Buildings Service; Phoenix Federal Building-United States 
Courthouse; Notice of Availability Draft Environmental Impact Statement

ACTION: Pursuant to the Council on Environmental Quality Regulations 
(40 Code of Federal Regulations 1500-1508) implementing procedural 
provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the U.S. 
General Services Administration (GSA) hereby gives notice that a DEIS 
for the construction of a new FB-CT within the City of Phoenix, Arizona 
has been prepared and filed with the United States Environmental 
Protection Agency (EPA). The proposed project would include the 
construction of a new FB-CT with approximately 515,010 gross square 
feet (GSF) of building space and 360 onsite parking spaces. The 
preferred site encompasses approximately 4.5 acres and is located 
within the city's redevelopment area known as the Government Mall. The 
site is bound by Washington Street to the north, 4th Avenue to the 
east, Jefferson Street to the south and 6th Avenue to the west. Under 
the Proposed Action, 5th and 6th Avenues would be closed to vehicular 
traffic.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    Alternatives: In addition to the Proposed Action, the DEIS examined 
three alternatives including: (1) construction of the FB-CT on the same 
site as the Proposed Action with 6th Avenue remaining open to vehicular 
traffic; (2) construction of the FB-CT on an alternate site within the 
CBA; and (3) no action or continued use of the existing FB-CT and lease 
space.

    Public Involvement: The DEIS, prepared by GSA addressing this 
action, is on file and may be obtained from: Mr. Alan R. Campbell, U.S. 
General Services Administration, Planning Staff (9PL), 525 Market 
Street, San Francisco, CA 94105-2799, Telephone: (415) 744-5252. A 
limited number of copies of the DEIS are available to fill single copy 
requests. Loan copies of the DEIS are available for review at the City 
of Phoenix Central Library and at the GSA Field Office, 200 North 1st 
Avenue, Phoenix, Arizona.
    A public hearing is scheduled to provide the community with an 
opportunity to submit comments on the DEIS. The meeting will be held 
Thursday, October 13, 1994 from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., at the Phoenix City 
Council Chambers, 200 West Jefferson Street, Phoenix, Arizona. In
