Region 2, Public Buildings Service; Public Information Notice;

Proposed Rehabilitation of the U.S. Post Office and Courthouse, Old San

Juan, Puerto Rico

Public information meetings to receive comment on the General

Services Administration's (GSA) proposed project to rehabilitate the

U.S. Post Office and Courthouse, a property included in the National

Register of Historic places, Old San Juan, Puerto Rico, will be held at

the following time and place: Wednesday December 14, 1994, at 3:00 PM

and 7:00 PM, at the Auditorium of the Puerto Rico Department of State

Building, located on San Jose Street, at the corner of San Francisco

Street, in front of the Plaza de Armas, Old San Juan, Puerto Rico.

The GSA proposes to rehabilitate the Post Office and Courthouse to

accommodate additional judicial facilities and other government

operations and to correct seismic inadequacies. The proposed project

will require the temporary relocation of the Post Office now located in

the U.S. Post Office and Courthouse during the period of construction.

Since GSA and the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) have determined that the

project may have adverse effects on the U.S. Post Office and Courthouse

and on portions of the Old San Juan City Wall, which lie within the

rehabilitation project's area of potential effects and which are

eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places, the

rehabilitation project is subject to review under Section 106 of the

National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, As Amended and 36 CFR part

800.

Written and oral comments may be given at the meeting. Written

comments postmarked by January 16, 1994, may be mailed to the General

Services Administration, Planning Staff (2PL)., ATTN: Peter Sneed, 26

Federal Plaza, Room 1609, New York, NY 10278, (212) 264-3581, for

inclusion in the record.

Issued in New York, NY on November 29, 1994.

Regional Administrator, General Services Administration.
