a restrictive easement to limit encroachment.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Lisa Grossman; Naval Facilities 
Engineering Command; 1322 Patterson Avenue, SE., Suite 1000; Washington 
Navy Yard, DC 20374-5065; telephone: 202-685-9205. For information

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the authority of 10 U.S.C. 
2684a, the Department of the Navy and the City of Virginia Beach 
(City), Virginia, entered into a Multi-Year Agreement (MYA) to acquire 
long-term interests in lands within the vicinity of Naval Air Station, 
Oceana, Virginia, and Naval Auxiliary Landing Field, Fentress, 
Chesapeake, Virginia. The goal of the MYA is to acquire real property 
interests in the vicinity of the Installations for purposes that are 
consistent with their land and natural resources conservation 
objectives, preservation goals, and to prevent encroachment and land 
development that is incompatible with the mission of the Installations.
    10 U.S.C. 2869 provides authority for the Navy to convey excess 
property at an Installation in exchange for property interests to be 
acquired under the terms of an encroachment protection agreement 
executed in accordance with 10 U.S.C. 2684a. The Navy proposes to 
convey approximately 82 acres of excess land, referred to as Marshview, 
to the City in exchange for a restrictive easement interest over 
approximately 46.59 acres of City-owned land located within the area of 
interest identified in the MYA as ideal for encroachment protection. 
The Marshview property will be conveyed in fee with deed restrictions 
limiting the property's future use to a public park with passive 
recreational use only. The restrictive easement to be acquired by the 
Navy will limit the type and amount of development, as well as the 
activities that may be conducted on the land.

    Dated: September 15, 2008.

Lieutenant Commander, Judge Advocate General's Corps, U.S. Navy, 
Federal Register Liaison Officer.
