DOT.

ACTION: Notice of intent to transfer

Federally assisted land or facility.

SUMMARY: 49 U.S.C. 5334(g), [formerly

called Section 12(k) of The Federal

Transit Act], permits the Administrator

of the Federal Transit Administration

(FTA) to authorize a recipient of FTA

funds to transfer land or a facility to a

public body for any public purpose with

no further obligation to the Federal

Government if, among other things, no

Federal agency is interested in acquiring

the asset for Federal use. Accordingly,

FTA is issuing this Notice to advise

Federal agencies that the city of

Philadelphia intends to transfer vacant

parcels of land located in the block

bounded by 8th, 9th, Callowhill and

Vine Streets, in Philadelphia,

Pennsylvania.

EFFECTIVE DATE: Any Federal agency

interested in acquiring the land or

facility must notify the FTA

Philadelphia Regional Office of its

interest, by January 8, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Interested parties should

notify the Regional Office by writing to

Mr. Sheldon A. Kinbar, Regional

Administrator, Federal Transit

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

49 U.S.C. 5334(g) provides guidance

on the transfer of capital assets.

Specifically, if a recipient of FTA

assistance decides an asset acquired

under this chapter 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.

The Secretary may authorize a transfer

for a public purpose other than mass

transportation only if the Secretary

decides:

49 U.S.C. 5334(g) Determinations

(A) the asset will remain in public use

for not less than 5 years after the date

of the transfer 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 interest

in acquiring the asset for Government

use if the asset is a facility or land.

Federal Interest in Acquiring Land or

Facility

This document implements the

requirements of 49 U.S.C. Section

5334(g) [formerly referenced as Section

12(k) of the Federal Transit Act, now

codified]. Accordingly, FTA hereby

provides notice of the availability of the

land or facility further described below.

Any Federal agency interested in

acquiring the affected land or facility

should promptly notify the FTA.

If no Federal agency is interested in

acquiring the existing land or facility,

FTA will make certain that the other

requirements specified in 49 U.S.C.

Section 5334(g)(1)(A) through (1)(D) are

met before permitting the asset to be

transferred.

Additional Description of Land or

Facility

Vacant parcels of land in the block

bounded by 8th, 9th, Callowhill and

Vine Streets, Philadelphia,

the Center City Commuter Tunnel with
