FACT SHEET
TRANSFERS OF FEDERAL PROPERTY
The President today announced the transfer of 13 parcels of
Federal Property with an estimated value of $6,257,900 to
State and local governments.
BACKGROUND
As part of a commitment to the reduction of unneeded
Federal landholdings, surplus Federal properties are
made available for public park and recreational purposes.
Since 1971, a total of 639 parks containing in excess of
82,159 acres with a value of more than $240 million have
been announced under this program. Every state, including
the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and
the District of Columbia, has received land for at least
one park.
In 1970 the General Services Administration was assigned
responsibility for conducting surveys of Federal land
holdings for the purposes of identifying excess lands,
and the Property Review Board was created to coordinate
the program (Executive Order No. 11508). In June 1973
the Federal Property Council was created within the
Executive Office of the President to assume the func--
tions of the Property Review Board.
Within the Department of the Interior, the Bureau of
Outdoor Recreation has responsibility for assisting
applicants to apply for properties and exercises com
pliance responsibility for these properties after deeding
the properties on behalf of the Secretary of the Interior.
PROPERTIES ANNOUNCED FOR TRANSFER
The 13 properties announced for transfer are located in
11 states. The properties are listed on a supplemental
sheet along with the recipient organization and the
estimated value.
List of properties being transferred available upon request.
