Facility Program Summary

3

 Initial Phase: Construct a smaller, more-efficient replacement currency production facility within the National Capital Region  Future Phase: Modernize the Main Building for BEP administrative functions and other government agencies  Final Phase: Surplus Annex Building to reduce BEP’s footprint by 27%  BEP would operate both the Main office building and new production facility

Current DC Facility Issues

 The Main and Annex buildings are 105 and 81 years old, respectively, with aging/outdated infrastructures that require costly maintenance  Meeting the demand for currency and technological innovation must contend with:

• Lack of flexibility in the facility for new production processes required to support currency

redesign efforts and new anti-counterfeit security features

• Multi-level manufacturing

 GAO review of BEP’s facility options confirmed a replacement production facility is the most economical facility solution

4

Replacement Facility Location Requirements

 Access to the interstate roadway system for transportation of currency to Federal Reserve Banks and commercial airports  Highly-skilled workforce cannot be easily or quickly replicated outside of the National Capital Region without severe impact to the Nation’s money supply

Potential BARC Site

6

 USDA & Congress support BEP development on unused 100-acre site at the Beltsville Agricultural Research Center (BARC) in Maryland  2018 Farm Bill provided authority to transfer land parcel to BEP  Majority of employees live in MD (64.8%) and of those, 43% reside in Prince George’s County

Potential BARC Site

200 Area Cluster of the BARC Central Farm Includes those buildings specifically used for poultry research

Potential Development Information

8

 Facility would be constructed on less than 2% of BARC’s existing acres  Remediate and demolish approximately 24 abandoned facilities  Facility approximately 850K – 1M square feet in size  Typical height – 30’ to 40’  Facility access would be from Powder Mill Road  Parking area will comply with NCPC planning figures

• 6:30 am – 3:00 pm day shift; approx. 1,100 personnel
• 2:30 pm – 11:00 pm evening shift; approx. 170 personnel
• 10:30 pm – 7:00 am midnight shift; approx. 170 personnel

 Air and waste water treated onsite prior to discharge  Storm water controlled onsite

BARC Program Benefits

 Removal of approximately 24 abandoned facilities – 4% reduction of BARC footprint

• Reduction of maintenance and reporting costs

 All infrastructure improvements required to support BEP would be funded by the project  Potential for cooperation on community services

• Shared shuttle on campus and to DC HQ offices
• Childcare
• Law enforcement cooperation

 Increased BARC site utilization by hosting another federal agency
