-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Veterans Affairs intends to enter into an 
enhanced-use lease of approximately 2.4 acres of underutilized land at 
the Samuel S. Stratton VA Medical Center in Albany, New York. The

a toll-free number).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title 38 U.S.C. 8161, et seq. states that 
the Secretary may enter into an enhanced-use lease if he determines 
that implementation of a business plan proposed by the Under Secretary 
for Health for applying the consideration under such a lease for the 
provision of medical care and services would result in a demonstrable 
improvement of services to eligible Veterans in the geographic service-
delivery area within which the property is located. This project meets 
this requirement.

    Approved: May 26, 2009.
John R. Gingrich,
Chief, of Staff, Department of Veterans Affairs.
