Sec. 643.21  Policy--Surveillance.


    Installation Commanders will maintain constant surveillance over 
real estate under their jurisdiction to determine whether any of it is 
excess to requirements, or may be made available for other Army use, or 
may be made available for use for other than Army purposes and will 
process such determinations expeditiously in accordance with the 
provisions of this regulation. From time to time DOD, DA and GSA surveys 
will be made pursuant to Executive Order 11954, 7 January 1977, which 
enunciated a uniform policy for the Executive Branch of the Federal 
Government with respect to the identification of excess and under-
utilized real estate (AR 405-70). Real estate for which is retained for 
future use will be a requirement which will be disposed of in accordance 
with AR 405-90. Real estate

which the Army does not currently need but which is retained for future 
use will be made available to others for use either exclusively or 
concurrently with the Army. When an installation is in an inactive 
status, the presumption is that it is available for other military or 
Federal use or for leasing unless there are cogent reasons that such 
action should not be taken. The purpose of this rule is to put to 
beneficial use Federal property, which is not for the time required for 
its basic use, for the benefit of other Federal agencies, the local 
economy, or for the benefits accruing to the United States from the 
income and/or savings of maintenance, protection, repair, or 
restoration.
