PART 102-75_REAL PROPERTY DISPOSAL--Table of Contents
 
              Subpart B_Utilization of Excess Real Property
 
Sec. 102-75.80  What are an executive agency's responsibilities before 
requesting a transfer of excess real property?

    Before requesting a transfer of excess real property, an executive 
agency must:
    (a) Screen its own property holdings to determine whether the new 
requirement can be met through improved utilization of existing real 
property; however, the utilization must be for purposes that are 
consistent with the highest and best use of the property under 
consideration;
    (b) Review all real property under its accountability which it has 
been permitted or outleased and terminate the permit or lease for any 
property, or portion thereof, suitable for the proposed need if 
termination is not prohibited by the terms of the permit or lease.
    (c) Utilize property that is or can be made available under Sec. 
102-75.80(a) or (b) for the proposed need in lieu of requesting a 
transfer of excess real property and reassign the property, when 
appropriate;
    (d) Ensure that the appraised fair market value of the excess real 
property proposed for transfer will not substantially exceed the 
probable purchase price of other real property which would be suitable 
for the intended purpose;
    (e) Limit the size and quantity of excess real property to be 
transferred to the actual requirements and separate, if possible, other 
portions of the excess installation for possible disposal to other 
agencies or to the public; and
    (f) Consider the design, layout, geographic location, age, state of 
repair, and expected maintenance costs of excess real property proposed 
for transfer; agencies must be able to demonstrate that the transfer 
will be more economical over a sustained period of time than the 
acquisition of a new facility specifically planned for the purpose.
