SUMMARY: The United States General Services Administration (GSA) hereby

Environmental Impact Report (EIS/EIR) has been prepared and filed with

the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for the

proposed construction of a new Federal Building within the City of San

Francisco, California, in accordance with the Council of Environmental

Quality regulations and the procedural provisions of the National

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The proposed project involves the

construction of a new Federal Building with 161 approximately 475,000

occupiable square feet of space (675,000 gross square feet) and onsite

parking spaces. The purpose of this project is (1) to consolidate

federal agencies housed in multiple locations in order to increase

efficiency and to reduce the amount of government leased space and (2)

to house law enforcement agencies that are not suitable as lease

tenants. The preferred alternative for this project is the site located

at 7th and Mission Streets.
