the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990, Public Law 101-
510, as amended. Pursuant to this designation, the majority of the land 
and facilities at this installation were on July 11, 1994, declared 
surplus to the federal Government and available for use by (a) non-
federal public agencies pursuant to various statutes which authorize 
conveyance of property for public projects, and (b) homeless provider 
groups pursuant to the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act (42 
U.S.C. 11411), as amended.

Election to Proceed Under New Statutory Procedures

    Subsequently, the Base Closure Community Redevelopment and Homeless 
Assistance Act of 1994 (Public Law 103-421) was signed into law. 
Section 2 of this statute gives the redevelopment authority at base 
closure sites the option of proceeding under new procedures with regard 
to the manner in which the redevelopment plan for the base is 
formulated and how requests are made for future use of the property by 
homeless assistance providers and non-federal public agencies. On 
December 9, 1994, the City of Port Hueneme submitted a timely request 
to proceed under the new procedures. Accordingly, this notice of 
information regarding the redevelopment authority fulfills the Federal 
Register publication requirement of Section 2(e)(3) of the Base Closure 
Community Redevelopment and Homeless Assistance Act of 1994.
