A State’s policy, program, and procedures should provide for the enactment of appropriate legislation or rules to limit the use of the phrase ‘‘Interstate Oasis’’ on a business’’ premises, on-site private signing, and advertising media to only those businesses approved by the State as an Interstate Oasis. Signing States electing to provide or allow Interstate Oasis signing should use the following signing practices on the freeway for any given exit to identify the availability of an Interstate Oasis: 1. If adequate sign spacing allows, a separate sign should be installed in an effective location with a spacing of at least 800 feet from other adjacent guide signs, including any Specific Service signs. This sign should be located in advance of the Advance Guide sign or between the Advance Guide sign and the Exit Direction sign for the exit leading to the Oasis. The sign should have a white legend (minimum 10 inch letters) and border on a blue background and should contain the phrase ‘‘Interstate Oasis’’ and the exit number or, for an unnumbered interchange, an action message such as ‘‘Next Exit’’. Names or logos of businesses designated as Interstate Oases should not be included on this sign. 2. If the spacing of other guide signs precludes use of a separate sign as described in item 1 above, a supplemental panel with a white legend (‘‘Interstate Oasis’’ in minimum 10 inch letters) and border on a blue background may be appended above or below an existing Advance Guide sign or D9–18 series General Service sign for the interchange. 3. If Specific Service signing (See MUTCD Chapter 2F) is provided at the interchange, a business designated as an Interstate Oasis and having a business logo on the Food and/or Gas Specific Service signs may use a bottom portion of the business’s logos to display the word ‘‘Oasis.’’ 4. If Specific Services signs containing the ‘‘Oasis’’ legend as a part of the business logo(s) are not used on the ramp, a sign with a white legend (minimum 6 inch letters) and border on a blue background should be provided on the exit ramp to indicate the direction and distance to the Interstate Oasis, unless the Interstate Oasis is clearly visible and identifiable from the exit ramp. Additional guide signs may If a State elects to provide or allow Interstate Oasis signing, the State should undertake educational and marketing efforts, in cooperation with trucking and travel industry partners as appropriate, to familiarize travelers and businesses with the program before it is implemented and during the initial period of implementation.

assets. Specifically, if a recipient of FTA assistance decides an asset 
acquired under this chapter at least in part with that assistance is no

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
