Initiative Allocation Agreement. 

OMB Number: 1505–0227. 

Expiration Date: June 30, 2011. 

Type of Request: Extension without 

change of a currently approved 

information collection. 

Abstract: Under the Small Business 

Jobs Act of 2010 (the ‘‘Act’’), the 

Department of the Treasury is 

responsible for implementing several 

components of the Act. Among these 

components is a program under title III 

of the Act which requires Treasury to 

make payments to participating States. 

Participating States will use the Federal 

funds for programs that leverage private 

lending to help finance small businesses 

and manufacturers that are 

creditworthy, but are not getting the 

loans they need to expand and create 

jobs. The collection of information is 

necessary to ensure that the allocation 

agreement constitutes a legal binding 

obligation of the participating State and 

to monitor participating State 

compliance and performance. The 

recordkeeping requirements ensure both 

the effective and efficient use of the 

funds consistent with the agreement. 

Affected Public: State and Local 

Governments. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

56.

DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS 

AFFAIRS 

Amendment To Extend the Term of the 

Existing Enhanced-Use Lease (EUL) at 

the Department of Veterans Affairs 

(VA) Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical 

Center (VAMC) in Houston, TX 

AGENCY: Department of Veterans Affairs. 

ACTION: Notice of Intent to Enter into an 

Amendment to Extend the Term of a 

Current Enhanced-Use Lease. 

SUMMARY: The Secretary of VA intends 

to enter into an amendment to extend 

the term of the existing EUL with 

Amelang Partners, LLC (lessee) at the 

Michael E. DeBakey VAMC in Houston, 

Texas. VA proposes to extend the term 

of the existing lease from 35 years to 75 

years. The lessee will continue to lease 

approximately 8.18 acres of land at the 

VAMC, and finance, design, develop, 

construct, operate, manage, and 

maintain a mixed-use facility on the 

VAMC campus. In return for VA 

granting the EUL extension, the lessee 

will (a) convey to VA an approximately 

7.64 acre parking lot currently serving 

VA, and (b) at commencement of the 40- 

year extension, pay VA fair market 

value of the aforementioned 8.18 acres 

of land, based on an appraisal of the 

underlying land and improvements. The 

lessee shall bear full financial and legal 

responsibility to redevelop and 

maintain the property as a mixed-use 

property at no cost to VA. VA plans to 

use the additional lease consideration 

from the anticipated 40-year lease 

extension to serve Veterans at the 

Michael E. DeBakey VAMC. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Edward L. Bradley, Office of Asset 

Enterprise Management (044), 

Department of Veterans Affairs, 810 

Vermont Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 

20420, (202) 461–7778. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 38 U.S.C. 

8161 et seq., specifically provides that 

the Secretary may enter into an 

enhanced-use lease if he determines that 

the implementation of a business plan 

proposed by the Under Secretary for 

Health for applying the consideration 

under such a lease to the provision of 

medical care and services would result 

in a demonstrable improvement of 

services to eligible Veterans in the 

geographic service-delivery area within 

which the property is located. This 

project meets this requirement. 

Approved: March 17, 2011. 

John R. Gingrich, 

Chief of Staff, Department of Veterans Affairs.
