and the Seaside Avenue parcel, both of which are described below, were 
declared surplus to the federal government and available for use by (a) 
non-federal public agencies pursuant to various statutes which 
authorize conveyance of surplus properties, and (b) homeless providers 
pursuant to the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act (42 U.S.C.

of the Act gives the redevelopment authority at base closure sites the 
option of proceeding under new procedures with regard to the manner in 
which the redevelopment plan for the base is formulated and how 
requests are made for future use of the property by homeless assistance 
providers and non-federal public agencies. On December 19, 1994, the 
City of Los Angeles submitted a timely request to proceed under the new 
procedures. Accordingly, this notice of information regarding the
