Closure and Realignment Act of 1990, Public Law 101-510, as amended. 
Pursuant to this designation, on September 26, 1995, land and 
facilities at this installation 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 property for 
public projects, and (b) homeless assistance provider groups pursuant 
to the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 11411),

Election to Proceed Under New Statutory Procedures

    Subsequently, the Base Closure Community Redevelopment and Homeless 
Assistance Act of 1994 (Pub. L. 103-421) was enacted. Section 2 of this 
statute gives the redevelopment authority at base closure sites the 
option of proceeding under new procedures with regard to the manner in 
which the redevelopment plans for the closing base are formulated and 
how requests are made for future use of the property by homeless 
assistance providers and non-federal public agencies. On December 2, 
1994, the Governor of Hawaii submitted a timely request to proceed 
under the new procedures. Accordingly, this notice fulfills the Federal 
Register publication requirement of section 2(e)(3) of the Base Closure 
Community Redevelopment and Homeless Assistance Act of 1994.
