BILLING CODE 8025–01–P 

DEPARTMENT OF STATE 

[Public Notice 9204; No. FMA–2015–01] 

Designation and Determination 

Pursuant to the Foreign Missions Act; 

Development and Management of 

Approximately 32 Acres in the District 

of Columbia, on a Portion of the 

Former Walter Reed Army Medical 

Center 

In order to facilitate the Department of 

State’s acquisition abroad of real 

property on which to construct safe, 

secure, and modern facilities for 

American diplomatic and consular 

operations, and in light of the 

difficulties that a growing number of 

foreign missions in the United States 

have encountered with respect to 

identifying properties and locations in 

the District of Columbia suitable for the 

construction and operation of modern 

chancery facilities, the Department of 

State intends to establish a second 

location in the Nation’s Capital that is 

dedicated to foreign mission operations. 

Thus, pursuant to the Department of 

State’s authority under 22 U.S.C. 

4308(e)(1), which authorizes the head of 

any Federal agency to transfer property 

to the Department of State to further the 

purposes of the Foreign Missions Act 

(22 U.S.C. 4301–4316) (‘‘FMA’’), the 

Department of State has concluded an 

agreement with the Department of the 

Army concerning the transfer to the 

Department of State of approximately 32 

acres of excess Federal property at the 

location of the former Walter Reed 

Army Medical Center (hereinafter 

referred to as the ‘‘Foreign Missions 

Center’’ or ‘‘FMC’’). The official metes 

and bounds of this property are in the 

process of being formally established. 

In accordance with the authority 

vested in me under the FMA and under 

Delegation of Authority No. 147, dated 

September 13, 1982, and after due 

consideration of the need to exercise 

reciprocity to obtain certain benefits for 

the United States, I hereby designate the 

acquisition and use of property 

(including construction or renovation of 

facilities on the property) by foreign 

missions at the FMC, as well as access 

to and use of roads, sidewalks and other 

common areas, and other public 

services at the FMC, to be a benefit as 

defined in 22 U.S.C. 4302(a)(1). I hereby 

determine, under 22 U.S.C. 4304, that 

the Department of State’s regulation of 

the acquisition and use of property in 

the FMC, as well as access to and use 

of roads, sidewalks and other common 

areas, and other public services at the 

FMC is reasonably necessary in order to: 

(1) Facilitate relations between the 

United States and a sending State; (2) 

protect the interests of the United 

States; and (3) adjust for costs and 

procedures of obtaining benefits for 

missions of the United States abroad. 

This action will enable the Office of 

Foreign Missions (OFM) of the 

Department of State to facilitate the 

secure and efficient operation of foreign 

missions in the United States. 

Accordingly, the process through 

which foreign missions will be 

authorized to acquire, use, and dispose 

of property and to construct or renovate 

facilities will be subject to all terms and 

conditions established in this regard by 

the Director of the Office of Foreign 

Missions (OFM). At a minimum, such 

terms and conditions on which OFM 

will approve a request from a foreign 

mission for the acquisition of a lot at the 

FMC shall include due consideration of 

the related real property 

accommodations extended to missions 

of the United States in the country or 

territory represented by that foreign 

mission. 

Pursuant to 22 U.S.C. 4306(b)(2)(B), 

because the FMC is in an area other than 

one referenced in § 4306(b)(1), the 

location, replacement, or expansion of 

chanceries at the FMC is permitted, 

subject only to disapproval by the 

District of Columbia Board of Zoning 

Adjustment in accordance with the 

procedures and criteria set forth in 22 

U.S.C. 4306. 

To implement this determination, the 

Department of State intends to use the 

working capital fund, consistent with 22 

U.S.C. 4308(h) and any terms, 

conditions, and procedures so 

established by the Chief Financial 

Officer, or designee, for all transactions 

associated with the Department of 

State’s development and management of 

the FMC. 

In particular, the funding needed to 

develop and manage the FMC shall be 

primarily obtained from the revenues 

generated as a result of the following 

actions: 

1. The Department of State’s 

execution of long-term land leases with 

foreign missions; 

2. the Department of State’s sale of 

existing buildings to foreign missions; 

3. the transfer of funds in connection 

with an in-kind exchange of properties, 

as authorized under 22 U.S.C. 4304(f); 

and 

4. the provision of services or benefits 

to or on behalf of foreign missions or 

other Federal agencies that are in 

furtherance of the Department of State’s 

responsibilities and functions under the 

FMA. 

Additionally, to the maximum extent 

and for the longest practical duration 

possible, the funding needed to cover 

the Department’s obligations to manage 

and maintain the FMC’s common areas, 

or those areas that are not assigned for 

the exclusive use of a foreign mission, 

shall also be generated as a result of the 

actions outlined above. In this regard, 

any proposed overall revenue 

generation and anticipated expenditure 

plan will cover all costs associated with 

the development of the FMC and as well 

projected costs associated with the 

maintenance of the non-public roads, 

sidewalks, and other common areas not 

assigned for the exclusive use of a 

foreign mission for a duration of at least 

a period of 25 years. 

For purposes of this document, the 

terms ‘‘chancery’’ and ‘‘foreign mission’’ 

are defined respectively at 22 U.S.C. 

4302(a)(2) and (3). 

Dated: July 14, 2015.

Under Secretary for Management.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Scheduled 

operations at LGA currently are limited 

by FAA Order until a final Slot 

Management and Transparency Rule for 

LaGuardia Airport, John F. Kennedy 

International Airport, and Newark 

Liberty International Airport (RIN 2120– 

AJ89) becomes effective but not later 

than October 29, 2016.1 The LGA Order 

permits the leasing or trading of slots 

through the expiration date of the Order, 

but this mechanism limits a carrier’s 

ability to permanently adjust its slot 

base through trades with another carrier, 

as is common at Ronald Reagan 

Washington National Airport (DCA). 

Additionally, the LGA Order 

permanently allocates slots, unlike the 

EWR and JFK Orders, which allocate 

available slots and permit slot retimings 

on a seasonal basis, through a 

transparent process generally following 

the International Air Transport 

Association (IATA) Worldwide Slot 

Guidelines (WSG).2

The FAA previously announced a 

submission deadline for requests to 

amend LGA slot records (adjust slot 

times and arrival/departure 

designations) and evaluated those 

requests in anticipation of the Winter 

2014 and Summer 2015 IATA 

scheduling seasons.3 The FAA has 

received favorable feedback from 

carriers and interested parties on the 

adjustment process and believes 

continuing this process at LGA could 

facilitate slot adjustments in a fair and 

transparent manner in future scheduling 

seasons. 

To evaluate LGA slot adjustments for 

the upcoming Winter 2015 IATA 

scheduling season, the FAA is 

establishing a deadline of August 5, 

2015, for carriers to request retiming 

and changes to the arrival/departure 

designation of currently-held slots. 

Carriers should provide slot information 

in sufficient detail including, at a 

minimum, the operating carrier, slot 

number, the current and requested slot 

arrival or departure times, frequency, 

and effective dates. Consistent with past 

practice, the FAA will evaluate requests 

in light of the overall operational impact 

at LGA and whether the requests 

improve or have a neutral effect on 

operational performance. The FAA will 

consider both short-term adjustments 

and adjustments through the expiration 

of the LGA Order. In addition, if the 

FAA receives conflicting requests for 

retiming, the FAA will give priority to 

new entrants and limited incumbents, 

consistent with the LGA Order and FAA 

practice. The terms of the LGA Order 

prevent the FAA from allocating new 

slots in hours at or above the slot limit. 

The FAA will evaluate requests 

received by August 5, 2015, and intends 

to respond to the requests no later than 

August 12, 2015. The FAA cannot 

guarantee that all requests to adjust slot 

holdings will be confirmed. Requests 

received after August 5, 2015, will be 

evaluated after timely requests in the 

order they are received. As permitted 

under paragraph A.5 of the LGA Order, 

carriers are encouraged to engage in slot 

trades, when possible, to achieve 

desired timings. 

Issued in Washington, DC, on July 21, 

2015.

Acting Vice President, System Operations 

Services.
