In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act, the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) has filed with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and made available to other government and private entities a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for a Master Plan for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Muirkirk Road Campus (MRC), located in Prince George’s County, Maryland. As part of this Draft EIS, GSA is also inviting comments on historic preservation concerns under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, 54 U.S.C. 306108 et seq. The Master Plan will provide FDA with a structured framework for developing the MRC over the next 20 years.
A 45-day public review period for the Draft EIS begins on Friday, June 4, 2021, and ends at 11:59 p.m. on Monday, July 19, 2021. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, GSA has made alternate arrangements in lieu of a traditional in-person public hearing on the Draft EIS. A live virtual meeting will be held on Wednesday, June 23, 2021, at 7 p.m. The meeting can be accessed via: https://www.gotomeeting.com/webinar/join-webinar -- Webinar ID: 417-735-899 (Phone - Audio Only: +1 415-655-0052 - Audio Access Code: 802-683-636).

Traveler reimbursement is based on the location of the work activities and not the accommodations, unless lodging is not available at the work activity, then the agency may authorize the rate where lodging is obtained.
Unless otherwise specified, the per diem locality is defined as "all locations within, or entirely surrounded by, the corporate limits of the key city, including independent entities located within those boundaries."
Per diem localities with county definitions shall include"all locations within, or entirely surrounded by, the corporate limits of the key city as well as the boundaries of the listed counties, including independent entities located within the boundaries of the key city and the listed counties (unless otherwise listed separately)."
When a military installation or Government - related facility(whether or not specifically named) is located partially within more than one city or county boundary, the applicable per diem rate for the entire installation or facility is the higher of the rates which apply to the cities and / or counties, even though part(s) of such activities may be located outside the defined per diem locality.
