Federal Transit Administration January 10, 2008 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

Section 5334(h) of the Federal Transit Laws, as codified, 49 U.S.C. 5301, et seq., permits the Administrator of the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to authorize a recipient of FTA funds to transfer land or a facility to a public body for any public purpose with no further obligation to the Federal Government if, among other things, no Federal agency is interested in acquiring the asset for Federal use. Accordingly, FTA is issuing this Notice to advise Federal agencies that the City of Kenosha (City) intends to transfer a facility located at 3735 65th Street, Kenosha, Wisconsin, to the Public Works Department of the City of Kenosha (Public Works) for the operation of their Street Department Division of Public Works. The City owns the land that the facility sits on and the land purchase was funded with local money. Therefore, FTA has no interest in the land. There is no access to the facility except through the City's property. Any other public agency other than those under the City would have to acquire access to the facility which would prove costly. They would also have to negotiate a lease with the City for the use or possible purchase of the land. The facility is a single story, light industrial/municipal building.
