and applicable regulations (41 CFR parts 102-75.750 through 
102.75.815). Under the sponsorship of FEMA, the Property Act gives the 
Administrator of the General Services Administration (GSA) authority to 
convey Federal real and related surplus property (without monetary 
consideration) to units of state and local government for emergency 
management response purposes, including fire rescue services. The scope 
and philosophy of GSA's real property policies are contained in 41 CFR 
part 102-71.
    The purpose of this application is to implement the processes and 
procedures for the successful, lawful, and expeditious conveyance of 
real property from the Federal Government to public entities such as 
state, local, city, town, or other like government bodies as it relates 
to emergency management response purposes, including fire and rescue 
services. Compliance will ensure that properties will be fully 
positioned to use at their highest and best potential as required by 
GSA and Department of Defense regulations, Federal law, Executive 
Orders, and the Code of Federal Regulations.
