12(g), and subject to paragraph (2) and in compliance with 
CERCLA, including section 120(h) of CERCLA (42 U.S.C. 
9620(h)), Federal agencies may enter into an agreement

Act (42 U.S.C. 9620(h)(3)), civilian real property with any 
person. 
(B) ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS.—The head of 
the disposing agency may require any additional terms 
and conditions in connection with an agreement authorized 
by subparagraph (A) as the head of the disposing agency 
considers appropriate to protect the interests of the United 
States. Such additional terms and conditions shall not 
affect or diminish any rights or obligations of the Federal 
agencies under section 120(h) of CERCLA (including, with-
out limitation, the requirements of subsections (h)(3)(A) 
and (h)(3)(C)(iv) of that section). 
(2) CERTIFICATION CONCERNING COSTS.—A transfer of Fed-
eral civilian real property may be made under paragraph (1) 
only if the head of the disposing agency certifies to the Board 
and Congress that— 
(A) the costs of all environmental restoration, waste 
management, and environmental compliance activities 
otherwise to be paid by the disposing agency with respect 
to the property are equal to or greater than the fair market 
value of the property to be transferred, as determined 
by the head of the disposing agency; or 
(B) if such costs are lower than the fair market value 
of the property, the recipient of the property agrees to 
pay the difference between the fair market value and such 
costs. 
(3) PAYMENTS TO RECIPIENTS.—In the case of a civilian 
real property covered by a certification under paragraph (2)(A), 
the disposing agency may pay the recipient of such property 
an amount equal to the lesser of— 
(A) the amount by which the costs incurred by the 
recipient of such property for all environmental restoration, 
waste management, and environmental compliance activi-
ties with respect to such property exceed the fair market 
value of such property as specified in such certification; 
or
H. R. 4465—13 
(B) the amount by which the costs (as determined 
by the head of the disposing agency) that would otherwise 
have been incurred by the Secretary for such restoration, 
waste management, and environmental compliance activi-
ties with respect to such property exceed the fair market 
value of such property as so specified. 
(4) INFORMATION TO BE PROVIDED TO RECIPIENTS.—As part 
of an agreement under paragraph (1), the head of the disposing 
agency shall disclose, in accordance with applicable law, to 
the person to whom the civilian real property will be transferred 
information possessed by the disposing agency regarding the 
environmental restoration, waste management, and environ-
mental compliance activities that relate to the property. The 
head of the disposing agency shall provide such information 
before entering into the agreement. 
(5) CONSIDERATION
OF
ENVIRONMENTAL
REMEDIATION
IN 
GRANTING TIME EXTENSIONS.—For the purposes of granting time

Board recommendation.

this Act may be construed to modify, alter, or amend CERCLA, 
the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, or the Solid
