Use of the Application for Surplus
Federal Real Property Public Benefit Conveyance and Base
Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Program for Emergency Management Use
is necessary 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, county, city, town, or other like government bodies, as it
relates to emergency management response purposes, including fire
and rescue services. Utilization of this application will ensure
that properties will be fully positioned for use at their highest
and best potentials as required by GSA and Department of Defense
regulations, public law, Executive Orders, and the Code of Federal
Regulations.
: The average number of
respondents for this collection, FEMA Form 119-0-1, has increased
from 15 per year to 50 respondents due to increases in need for
surplus property to meet the needs of emergency management
preparedness. The hour burden per response for FEMA Form 119-0-1
has increased from 3 to 4 hours due to the additional information
required to properly administer the program so that surplus
property can be more efficiently transferred to qualified
respondents. An additional 50 hours burden has been added to this
data collection to include an Annual Status Report, which is a
requirement from participants annually. This information is used to
verify compliance with all terms and conditions of the
conveyance.
