SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    49 U.S.C. Section 5334(h) provides guidance on the transfer of 
assets no longer needed. Specifically, if a recipient of FTA assistance 
decides an asset acquired at least in part with federal 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. 49 U.S.C. Section 
5334(h)(l).

Determinations

    The Secretary may authorize a transfer for a public purpose other 
than public transportation only if the Secretary decides:
    (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

[[Page 52958]]

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.

Federal Interest in Acquiring Land or Facility

    This document implements the requirements of 49 U.S.C. Section 
5334(h)(l)(D). Accordingly, FTA hereby provides notice of the 
availability of the Facility further described below. Any Federal 
agency interested in acquiring the affected facility should promptly 
notify the FTA.
    If no Federal agency is interested in acquiring the existing 
Facility, FTA will make certain that the other requirements specified 
in 49 U.S.C. Section 5334(h)(1)(A) through (C) are met before 
permitting the asset to be transferred.
    The Facility to be transferred is a parking garage with 
approximately 215 underground and 429 above-ground parking spaces, and 
includes all equipment used in the control of parking. It was built in 
2000. The Facility has six above-ground levels and a basement parking 
level. It is constructed of precast concrete with a brick and concrete 
fa[ccedil]ade. The Facility is situated within a block in downtown 
South Bend and is connected to two multi-story office buildings and a 
public plaza. Approximately 11,000 square feet of retail space is 
located on the ground level of the Facility. However, the multi-story 
office buildings, retail space, and public plaza are not owned by 
Transpo, and are not available for acquisition through this notice. The 
garage facility and connected buildings are commonly known as Leighton 
Plaza.
    If no Federal agency is interested in acquiring the existing 
Facility, FTA will make certain that the other requirements specified 
in 49 U.S.C. Section 5334(h)(1)(A) through (C) are met before 
permitting the asset to be transferred.
