Fresno Federal Building/United States Courthouse; Notice of 
Intent

AGENCY: United States General Services Administration.

ACTION: Notice of Intent to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement 
(EIS) for a new Federal Building/United States Courthouse.

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

SUMMARY: The action to be evaluated by this EIS is the construction of 
a new Federal Building/United States Courthouse Fresno, California. The 
facility will be located on an approximately 4.5 acre site and includes 
construction of 392 subterranean and surface parking spaces.

ALTERNATIVES: The EIS will evaluate three alternative sites. Two of the 
sites are located in the downtown area of the City while a third is 
located in north Fresno. In addition, as required by National 
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the EIS will also analyze the ``No 
Action'' alternative as a baseline for gauging the impacts of not 
building a new courthouse.

 [[Page 7060]] PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT: The public will be invited to 
participate in the scoping process, review of the Draft EIS, and a 
public meeting. The scoping meeting will be held in Jury Assembly Room
