(b) GRANT OF EASEMENT.—When a State, a political subdivision or
agency of a State, or a person applies for the grant of an easement in, over,
or on real property of the Government, the executive agency having control
of the real property may grant to the applicant, on behalf of the Govern-
ment, an easement that the head of the agency decides will not be adverse
to the interests of the Government, subject to reservations, exceptions, limi-
tations, benefits, burdens, terms, or conditions that the head of the agency
considers necessary to protect the interests of the Government. The grant
may be made without consideration, or with monetary or other consider-
ation, including an interest in real property.
(c) RELINQUISHMENT OF LEGISLATIVE JURISDICTION.—In connection
with the grant of an easement, the executive agency concerned may relin-
quish to the State in which the real property is located legislative jurisdic-
tion that the executive agency considers necessary or desirable. Relinquish-
ment of legislative jurisdiction may be accomplished by filing with the chief
executive officer of the State a notice of relinquishment to take effect upon
acceptance or by proceeding in the manner that the laws applicable to the
State may provide.
(d) TERMINATION OF EASEMENT.—
(1) WHEN
TERMINATION
OCCURS.—The instrument granting the
easement may provide for termination of any part of the easement if
there has been—
(A) a failure to comply with a term or condition of the grant;
(B) a nonuse of the easement for a consecutive 2-year period
for the purpose for which granted; or
(C) an abandonment of the easement.
(2) NOTICE REQUIRED.—If a termination provision is included, it
shall require that written notice of the termination be given to the
grantee, or its successors or assigns.
(3) EFFECTIVE DATE.—The termination is effective as of the date
of the notice.
(e) ADDITIONAL EASEMENT AUTHORITY.—The authority conferred by
this section is in addition to, and shall not affect or be subject to, any other
law under which an executive agency may grant easements.
(f) LIMITATION ON ISSUANCE OF RIGHTS OF WAY.—Rights of way over,
under, and through public lands and lands in the National Forest System
may not be granted under this section.
§ 1315. Special police
(a) APPOINTMENT.—The Administrator of General Services, or officials
of the General Services Administration authorized by the Administrator,
may appoint uniformed guards of the Administration as special police with-
•H 2068 IH
out additional compensation for duty in connection with the policing of all
buildings and areas owned or occupied by the Federal Government and
under the charge and control of the Administrator.
(b) POWERS.—Special police appointed under this section have the same
powers as sheriffs and constables on property referred to in subsection (a)
to enforce laws enacted for the protection of individuals and property, pre-
vent breaches of the peace, suppress affrays or unlawful assemblies, and en-
force regulations prescribed by the Administrator or authorized officials of
the Administration for property under their jurisdiction. However, the juris-
diction and policing powers of special police do not extend to the service of
civil process.
(c) DETAIL.—On the application of the head of a department or agency
of the Government having property of the Government under its administra-
tion and control, the Administrator or authorized officials may detail special
police for the protection of the property and, if the Administrator considers
it desirable, may extend to the property the applicability of regulations and
enforce them as provided in this section.
(d) USE OF OTHER LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES.—When it is consid-
ered economical and in the public interest, the Administrator or authorized
official may utilize the facilities and services of existing federal law enforce-
ment agencies, and, with the consent of a state or local agency, the facilities
and services of state or local law enforcement agencies.
(e) NONUNIFORMED SPECIAL POLICE.—The Administrator, or officials of
the Administration authorized by the Administrator, may empower officials
or employees of the Administration authorized to perform investigative func-
tions to act as nonuniformed special police to protect property under the
cfharge and control of the Administration and to carry firearms, whether
on federal property or in travel status. When on real property under the
charge and control of the Administration, officials or employees empowered
to act as nonuniformed special police have the power to enforce federal laws
for the protection of individuals and property and to enforce regulations for
that purpose that the Administrator or authorized officicals of the Adminis-
tration prescribe and publish. The special police may make arrests without
warrant for any offense committed on the property if the police have reason-
able ground to believe the offense constitutes a felony under the laws of the
United States and that the individual to be arrested is guilty of that offense.
(f) ADMINISTRATIVE.—The Administrator or authorized officials may pre-
scribe regulations necessary for the government of the property under their
charge and control, and may annex to the regulations reasonable penalties,
within the limits prescribed in subsection (g), that will ensure their enforce-
•H 2068 IH
ment. The regulations shall be posted and kept posted in a conspicuous
place on the property.
(g) PENALTIES.—
(1) IN GENERAL.—Except as provided in paragraph (2), a person
violating a regulation prescribed under subsection (f) shall be fined
under title 18, imprisoned for not more than 30 days, or both.
(2) EXCEPTION FOR MILITARY TRAFFIC REGULATION.—
(A) DEFINITION.—For purposes of this paragraph, the term
‘‘military traffic regulation’’ means a regulation for the control of
vehicular or pedestrian traffic on military installations that the
Secretary of Defense prescribes under subsection (f).
(B) IN GENERAL.—A person violating a military traffic regula-
tion shall be fined an amount not exceeding the amount of the
maximum fine for a similar offense under the criminal or civil law
of the State, district, territory, or possession, of the United States
where the military installation in which the violation occurred is
located, imprisoned for not more than 30 days, or both.
