SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

If a recipient of Federal transit 

assistance under 49 U.S.C. Chapter 53 

decides an asset acquired at least in part 

with that assistance is no longer needed 

for the purpose for which it was 

acquired, the Secretary of 

Transportation may authorize the 

recipient to transfer the asset to a local 

governmental authority to be used for a 

public purpose with no further 

obligation to the Government if (A) the 

asset will remain in public use for at 

least 5 years after the date the asset is 

transferred; (B) there is no purpose 

eligible for assistance under this chapter 

for which the asset should be used; (C) 

the overall benefit of allowing the 

transfer is greater than the interest of the 

Government in liquidation and return of 

the financial interest of the Government 

in the asset, after considering fair 

market value and other factors; and (D) 

through an appropriate screening or 

survey process, that there is no interest 

in acquiring the asset for Government 

use if the asset is a facility or land. 49 

U.S.C. 5334(h)(1). If the asset is a facility 

or land, the Secretary may authorize a 

transfer for a public purpose other than 

public transportation only if the 

Secretary decides, through an 

appropriate screening or survey process, 

that there is no interest in acquiring the 

asset for Government use. 49 U.S.C. 

5334(h)(1)(D). 

The Property 

The Property is parcel number 

02701002, located at 1305 Kemper 

Street, Lynchburg, Virginia. The 

Property is 0.883 acres situated in an 

area zoned light industrial. The Property 

bears a one-story masonry office 

building of approximately 16,000 square 

feet constructed in 1953. 

Federal Interest in Acquiring the 

Property 

FTA has determined that the 

proposed transfer from the Greater 

Lynchburg Transit Company to the City 

of Lynchburg Police Department 

otherwise satisfies the requirements of 

49 U.S.C. 5334(h)(1). This Notice serves 

the purpose of an appropriate screening 

or survey process to determine whether 

there is interest in acquiring the 

Property for Government use. Any 

Federal agency interested in acquiring 

the Property should notify FTA as 

described above.

Government use if the asset is a facility

5334(h)(1). If the asset is a facility or 

land, the Secretary may authorize a 

transfer for a public purpose other than 

public transportation only if the 

Secretary determines, through an 

appropriate screening or survey process, 

that no Federal agency has an interest in 

acquiring the asset for a government 

use. 49 U.S.C. 5334(h)(1)(D). 

The Property 

The Property is comprised of two 

parcels of land located at (1) 3607 Hunt 

Street NW, Gig Harbor, WA (Pierce 

County Assessor’s Parcel 0221083054), a 

site containing an area of 23,100 square 

feet; and (2) 3611 Hunt Street NW, Gig 

Harbor, WA (Pierce County Assessor’s 

Parcel 0221083032), a site containing an 

area of 20,909 square feet. The two 

parcels total 1.01 acres and each has a 

single-family residence that had been 

converted to small business use prior to 

acquisition by Pierce Transit. The 

zoning is B–2, General Business District. 

The Property is adjacent to SR 16 and 

the site is located at a dead end of Hunt 

Street. The highest and best use of these 

parcels was identified as demolition of 

the existing structures and 

redevelopment of the sites with low 

intensity uses that utilize private septic 

systems. The site lacks sewer service. 

The nearest sewer line is located 

approximately 3,300 feet away. The lack 

of sewer at the site results in significant 

limitations to its future use. 

Pierce Transit purchased both 

properties in 2006 for a park and ride 

lot, but the project was canceled in 

2009. 3607 Hunt Street NW was 

acquired for $345,000, and 3611 Hunt 

Street NW was acquired for $500,000. 

Both parcels have depreciated 

significantly in value. The City of Gig 

Harbor proposes to use the property for 

a community service facility. 

Federal Interest in Acquiring the 

Property 

FTA has determined that the 

proposed transfer from Pierce Transit to 

the City of Gig Harbor otherwise 

satisfies the requirements of 49 U.S.C. 

5334(h)(1). This notice serves as an 

appropriate screening or survey process 

to determine whether a Federal agency 

has an interest in acquiring the Property 

for Federal government use. Any
