SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 2005, NASJRB Willow Grove, PA was
designated for closure under the authority of the Defense Base Closure
and Realignment Act of 1990, Public Law 101-510, as amended (the Act).
Pursuant to this designation, on January 23, 2006, land and facilities
at this installation were declared excess to the Department of Navy
(DoN) and made available to other Department of Defense (DoD)
components and other Federal agencies. In 2007, that declaration was
superseded by Public Law 110-28, Section 3703, of the U.S. Troop
Readiness, Veterans' Care, Katrina Recovery, and Iraq Accountability
Appropriations Act, as amended, which directed the DoN to transfer
NASJRB Willow Grove land to the Department of the Air Force for
subsequent conveyance to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for
establishment of the Horsham Joint Interagency Installation (HJII). In
November 2009, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania informed the Secretary
of Defense that the Commonwealth will not use NASJRB Willow Grove for
the proposed HJII. On January 8, 2010, land and facilities at this
installation were once again declared excess to the DoN and made
available to other DoD components and other Federal agencies. The DoN
has evaluated all timely Federal requests and has made a decision on
property required by the Federal Government.
