                           TITLE 34--EDUCATION
 
PART 12--DISPOSAL AND UTILIZATION OF SURPLUS FEDERAL REAL PROPERTY FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES--Table of Contents
 
        Subpart B--Distribution of Surplus Federal Real Property
 
Sec.  12.10  How is a Public Benefit Allowance (PBA) calculated?

    (a) The Secretary calculates a PBA in accordance with the provisions 
of appendix A to this part taking into account the nature of the 
applicant, and the need for, impact of, and type of program and plan of 
use for the property, as described in that appendix.
    (b) The following are illustrative examples of how a PBA would be 
calculated and applied under appendix A:
    (1) Entity A is a specialized school that has had a building 
destroyed by fire, and that has existing facilities determined by the 
Secretary to be between 26 and 50% inadequate. It is proposing to use 
the surplus Federal real property to add a new physical education 
program. Entity A would receive a basic PBA of 70%, a 10% hardship 
organization allowance, a 20% allowance for inadequacy of existing 
school plant facilities, and a 10% utilization allowance for 
introduction of new instructional programs. Entity A would have a total 
PBA of 110%. If Entity A is awarded the surplus Federal real property, 
it would not be required to pay any cash for the surplus Federal real 
property, since the total PBA exceeds 100%.
    (2) Entity B proposes to use the surplus Federal real property for 
nature walks. Because this qualifies as an outdoor educational program, 
Entity B would receive a basic PBA of 40%. If Entity B is awarded the 
surplus Federal real property, it would be required to pay 60% of the 
fair market value of the surplus Federal real property in cash at the 
time of the transfer.
    (3) Entity C is an accredited university, has an ROTC unit, and 
proposes to use the surplus Federal real property for a school health 
clinic and for special education of the physically handicapped. Entity C 
would receive a basic PBA of 50% (as a college or university), a 20% 
accreditation organization allowance (accredited college or university), 
a 10% public service training organization allowance (ROTC), a 10% 
student health and welfare utilization allowance (school health clinic), 
and a 10% service to the handicapped utilization allowance (education of 
the physically handicapped). Entity C would have a total PBA of 100%. If 
Entity C is awarded the surplus Federal real property, it would not be 
required to pay any cash for the surplus Federal real property, since 
the total PBA is 100%.
    (4) Entities A, B, and C all submit applications for the same 
surplus Federal real property. Unless the Secretary decides to apportion 
it, the Secretary transfers or leases the surplus Federal real property 
to Entity A, since its proposed program and plan of use has the highest 
total PBA.
