AGENCY: Federal Transit Administration,

DOT.

ACTION: Notice of intent to transfer

Federally assisted land or facility.

SUMMARY: 49 U.S.C. Section 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 Maryland Mass Transit

Administration intends to transfer

property located at the intersection of

York Road, Dulaney Valley Road, Joppa

Road and Allegheny Avenue, in

Towson, Maryland.

EFFECTIVE DATE: Any Federal agency

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

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

DETERMINATIONS:

(A) The asset will remain in public

use for not less than 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.

Federal Interest in Acquiring Land or

Facility

This document implements the

requirements of 49 U.S.C. Section

5334(g). 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:

Parcel of land approximately 4,485

square feet (identified as 602–608 York

Road) located at the intersection of York

Road, Dulaney Valley Road, Joppa Road

and Allegheny Avenue in Towson,

Maryland.
