    Title: Excess Federal Real Property Program-Public Benefit 
Conveyance Application.
    OMB Number: 1660-0080.
    Abstract: General Services Administration (GSA) provides 
announcements to FEMA and to State, local and Tribal governments 
concerning available Federal surplus real property for emergency 
management response use purposes including fire and rescue services. An 
applicant must notify the disposal agency such as GSA Regional and 
Headquarters offices, the Department of Defense (DOD) Base Realignment 
Closure (BRAC) Offices, and FEMA Regional and Headquarters offices of 
its intent to acquire the property. The notification should occur 
within 20 days after notification of property availability. States, the 
District of Columbia, any territory or possession of the United States, 
or any political subdivision or instrumentality thereof, may apply for 
the transfer of conveyance of real property for emergency management 
response use purposes. An applicant must formally submit a completed 
Excess Federal Real Property Program Application for Public Benefit 
Conveyances including supporting documentation to FEMA. After receiving 
this information, FEMA will then determine if the requested excess 
Federal real property is required for emergency management response 
use. The application process designed to ensure that the applicant's 
proposed use of the Federal real property is for emergency management 
use as an integral part of applicable State, local and Tribal 
government plans.
    Affected Public: State, local or Tribal government.
