The conveyance and disposal of excess real property is governed by the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 (Property Act) as amended, 40 U.S.C. 541, et seq., 40 U.S.C. 553, and applicable regulations (41 CFR 102– 75.750 through 102.75.815). Under the sponsorship of FEMA, the Property Act gives the Administrator of the General Services Administration (GSA) authority to convey Federal real and related surplus property (without monetary consideration) to units of state and local government for emergency management response purposes, including fire rescue services. The scope and philosophy of GSA’s real property policies are contained in 41 CFR part 102–71. The purpose of this application is to implement the processes and procedures for the successful, lawful, and expeditious conveyance of real property from the Federal Government to public entities such as state, local, city, town, or other like government bodies as it relates to emergency management response purposes, including fire and rescue services. Compliance will ensure that properties will be fully positioned to use at their highest and best potential as required by GSA and Department of Defense regulations, Federal law, Executive Orders, and the Code of Federal Regulations.

    Abstract: The National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) 
requires that each Federal agency examine the impact of a major Federal 
action (including the actions of recipients using grant funds) 
significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. This 
involves considering the environmental impact of the proposed action, 
alternatives to the proposed action, informing both decision-makers and 
the public of the impacts through a transparent process, and 
identifying mitigation measures for any potential adverse impacts (40 
CFR 1500.1, 1501.5 and 1501.6). Among other environmental laws, the 
review also involves considering the effects of the undertaking on 
historic properties under Section 106 of the National Historic 
Preservation Act and the effects of the action on any threatened or 
endangered species and their habitat under Section 7 of the Endangered 
Species Act of 1973. This Screening Form will facilitate the Federal 
Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA's) review of recipient Federally-
funded actions in FEMA's effort to comply with the environmental 
requirements.
    Affected Public: State, local or Tribal government; Not-for-Profit 
Institutions.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 2,300.
    Estimated Number of Responses: 2,300.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 16,752.
    Estimated Total Annual Respondent Cost: $1,039,877.
    Estimated Respondents' Operation and Maintenance Costs: $0.
    Estimated Respondents' Capital and Start-Up Costs: $0.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost to the Federal Government: $6,153,716.
