efficient, and effective manner. GSA derives its authority to dispose of real
and related personal property from the Federal Property and Administrative
Services Act of 1949, 63 Stat. 377, as amended.
Department of Defense Responsibility. The Department of Defense
1.11.2
has been delegated limited authority to directly dispose of real and related
personal property as cited in the Federal Property Management Regulations
(FPMR), Subpart 101-47.6. The FPMR contains specific guidelines for the
disposal of all Federal real and related personal property.
Applicable FPMR Guidelines. Applicable FPMR guidelines have been
1.11.3
incorporated into NAVFAC's P-73. When Navy real property and associated real
property is identified as "not utilized," it may be classified as "excess" to
the needs of the Department of the Navy. Under normal procedures, after the
EFD Real Estate Division has reported the property to GSA for disposal, GSA
screens the property to determine if there is an alternative federal use for
the property.
Other Federal Agencies. If another federal agency has an approved
1.11.4
and funded requirement for the property, custody and accountability for the
property may be transferred to the agency, subject to reimbursement to GSA of
100 percent of the property's fair market value. Property reported excess to
the needs of federal agencies is classified as "surplus" and is disposed of by
GSA . Responsibility for protection and maintenance of excess real property
remains with the reporting agency for a minimum period of 12 months pending
its disposal by GSA.
Navy property reported as excess to GSA is not removed from Navy
plant accounts until disposal by GSA has been completed. Completed guidelines
are contained in the FPMR and the P-73. The FPMR established certain
requirements concerning excess real property which (in its present condition)
is dangerous or hazardous to the environment or presents health and safety
hazards. The Navy should provide information on the extent of contamination,
plans for decontamination, and the extent to which the property may be used
without further decontamination.
If the property is contaminated as a result of Navy use, the Navy
is responsible for funding and supervising its decontamination. The EFD
should be consulted concerning the need for preparation of environmental
assessments and other studies related to disposal of excess real property.
