subdivision regulations, and building

codes.

Unless expressly authorized by

statute, the disposing Federal agency

cannot restrict the future use of surplus

Government property. As a result, the

local community exercises substantial

control over future use of the property.

For this reason, local land use plans and

zoning affect determination of the

highest and best use of surplus

Government property.

The DBCRA directed the

Administrator of the General Services

Administration (GSA) to delegate to the

Secretary of Defense authority to

transfer and dispose of base closure

property. Section 2905(b) of DBCRA

directs the Secretary of Defense to

exercise this authority in accordance

with GSA’s property disposal

regulations, set forth at Sections 101–

47.1 through 101–47.8 of the FPMR. By

letter dated December 20, 1991, the

Secretary of Defense delegated the

authority to transfer and dispose of base

closure property closed under DBCRA

to the Secretaries of the Military

Departments. Under this delegation of

authority, the Secretary of the Navy

must follow FPMR procedures for

screening and disposing of real property

when implementing base closures. Only

where Congress has expressly provided

additional authority for disposing of

base closure property, e.g., the economic

development conveyance authority

established in 1993 by Section

2905(b)(4) of DBCRA, may Navy apply

disposal procedures other than the

FPMR’s prescriptions.

In Section 2901 of the National

Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal

Year 1994, Public Law 103–160,

Congress recognized the economic

hardship occasioned by base closures,

the Federal interest in facilitating

economic recovery of base closure

communities, and the need to identify

and implement reuse and

redevelopment of property at closing

installations. In Section 2903(c) of

Public Law 103–160, Congress directed

the Military Departments to consider

each base closure community’s

economic needs and priorities in the

property disposal process. Under

Section 2905(b)(2)(E) of DBCRA, Navy

must consult with local communities

before it disposes of base closure

property and must consider local plans

developed for reuse and redevelopment

of the surplus Federal property.

The Department of Defense’s goal, as

set forth in Section 174.4 of the DoD

Rule, is to help base closure

communities achieve rapid economic

recovery through expeditious reuse and

redevelopment of the assets at closing

bases, taking into consideration local

market conditions and locally

developed reuse plans. Thus, the

Department has adopted a consultative

approach with each community to

ensure that property disposal decisions

consider the Local Redevelopment

Authority’s reuse plan and encourage

job creation. As a part of this

cooperative approach, the base closure

community’s interests, e.g., reflected in

its zoning for the area, play a significant

role in determining the range of

alternatives considered in the

environmental analysis for property

disposal. Furthermore, Section

175.7(d)(3) of the DoD Rule provides

that the Local Redevelopment

Authority’s plan generally will be used

as the basis for the proposed disposal

action.

The Federal Property and

Administrative Services Act of 1949, 40

U.S.C. § 484, as implemented by the

FPMR, identifies several mechanisms

for disposing of surplus base closure

property: by public benefit conveyance

(FPMR Sec. 101–47.303–2); by

negotiated sale (FPMR Sec. 101–47.304–

9); and by competitive sale (FPMR 101–

47.304–7). Additionally, in Section

2905(b)(4), the DBCRA established

economic development conveyances as

a means of disposing of surplus base

closure property.

The selection of any particular

method of conveyance merely

implements the Federal agency’s

decision to dispose of the property.

Decisions concerning whether to

undertake a public benefit conveyance

or an economic development

conveyance, or to sell property by

negotiation or by competitive bid are

committed by law to agency discretion.

Selecting a method of disposal

implicates a broad range of factors and

rests solely within the Secretary of the

Navy’s discretion.

Conclusion

The HRPA’s proposed reuse of the

DoDHF Novato property, reflected in the

1996 Hamilton Army Airfield Reuse

Plan and embodied in the Preferred

Alternative, is consistent with the

prescriptions of the FPMR and Section

174.4 of the DoD Rule. The LRA has

determined in its Revised Reuse Plan

that the property should be used for

several purposes including residential,

community, civic, commercial, parkland

and open space. The property’s location,

physical characteristics and existing

infrastructure as well as the current uses

of adjacent property make it appropriate

for the proposed uses.

The Revised Reuse Plan responds to

local economic conditions, promotes

rapid economic recovery from the

impact of the facility’s closure, and is

consistent with President Clinton’s

Five-Part Plan for Revitalizing Base

Closure Communities, which

emphasizes local economic

redevelopment of the closing military

facility and creation of new jobs as the

means to revitalize these communities.

32 CFR Parts 174 and 175, 59 Fed. Reg.

16123 (1994). The acquiring entity,

under the direction of Federal, State,

and local agencies with regulatory

authority over protected resources, will

be responsible for adopting practicable

means to avoid or minimize

environmental harm that may result

from implementation of the reuse plan.

Although the ‘‘No action’’ Alternative

has less potential for causing adverse

environmental impacts, this alternative

would not take advantage of the

property’s location, physical

characteristics and infrastructure or the

current uses of adjacent property.

Additionally, it would not foster local

economic redevelopment of the DoDHF

NOvato property.

Accordingly, Navy will dispose of the

Department of Defense Housing Facility

at Novato in a manner that is consistent

with the Hamilton Reuse Planning

Authority’s Revised Reuse Plan for the

property.

Dated: July 1, 1998.

William J. Cassidy, Jr.,

Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy

(Conversion And Redevelopment).
