SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    If a recipient of Federal transit assistance under 49 U.S.C. 
Chapter 53 decides an asset acquired at least in part with that 
assistance is no longer needed for the purpose for which it was 
acquired, the Secretary of Transportation may authorize the recipient 
to transfer the asset to a local governmental authority to be used for 
a public purpose with no further obligation to the Government if (A) 
the asset will remain in public use for at least 5 years after the date 
the asset is transferred; (B) there is no purpose eligible for 
assistance under this chapter for which the asset should be used; (C) 
the overall benefit of allowing the transfer is greater than the 
interest of the Government in liquidation and return of the financial 
interest of the Government in the asset, after considering fair market 
value and other factors; and (D) through an appropriate screening or 
survey process, that there is no interest in acquiring the asset for 
Government use if the asset is a facility or land. 49 U.S.C. 
5334(h)(1). If the asset is a facility or land, the Secretary may 
authorize a transfer for a public purpose other than public 
transportation only if the Secretary decides, through an appropriate 
screening or survey process, that there is no interest in acquiring the 
asset for Government use. 49 U.S.C. 5334(h)(1)(D).

The Property

    The Property is parcel number 02701002, located at 1305 Kemper 
Street, Lynchburg, Virginia. The Property is 0.883 acres situated in an 
area zoned light industrial. The Property bears a one-story masonry 
office building of approximately 16,000 square feet constructed in 
1953.

Federal Interest in Acquiring the Property

    FTA has determined that the proposed transfer from the Greater 
Lynchburg Transit Company to the City of Lynchburg Police Department 
otherwise satisfies the requirements of 49 U.S.C. 5334(h)(1). This 
Notice serves the purpose of an appropriate screening or survey process 
to determine whether there is interest in acquiring the Property for 
Government use. Any Federal agency interested in acquiring the Property 
should notify FTA as described above.

Theresa Garcia Crews,
Regional Administrator, FTA Region 3.
