SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 2005, NASJRB Willow Grove, PA was 
designated for closure under the authority of the Defense Base Closure 
and Realignment Act of 1990, Public Law 101-510, as amended (the Act). 
Pursuant to this designation, on January 23, 2006, land and facilities 
at this installation were declared excess to the Department of Navy 
(DoN) and made available to other Department of Defense (DoD) 
components and other Federal agencies. In 2007, that declaration was 
superseded by Public Law 110-28, Section 3703, of the U.S. Troop 
Readiness, Veterans' Care, Katrina Recovery, and Iraq Accountability 
Appropriations Act, as amended, which directed the DoN to transfer 
NASJRB Willow Grove land to the Department of the Air Force for 
subsequent conveyance to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for 
establishment of the Horsham Joint Interagency Installation (HJII). In 
November 2009, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania informed the Secretary 
of Defense that the Commonwealth will not use NASJRB Willow Grove for 
the proposed HJII. On January 8, 2010, land and facilities at this 
installation were once again declared excess to the DoN and made 
available to other DoD components and other Federal agencies. The DoN 
has evaluated all timely Federal requests and has made a decision on 
property required by the Federal Government.
