SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Excess Federal real property is defined as property that is no longer mission critical to the needs of the Federal government. 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 parts 102-75.750 through 102-75.815). Under the sponsorship of FEMA, the Property Act gives the GSA Administrator 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.

This proposed information collection previously published in the Federal Register on February 11, 2026, at 91 FR 6235 with a 60-day public comment period. FEMA received two comments. Both comments discussed the Public Benefit Conveyance Program itself and while those comments are beyond the scope of the extension of this information collection, FEMA appreciates the input and engagement and is incorporating that feedback into the Program. One of the comments received also discussed the burden placed on the public, which FEMA appreciates as they recognize the efforts undertaken as part of this continual information collection renewal process where our usability testing led to an overall 9.33% decrease in the annual burden hours for respondents in our previous renewal in 2023. FEMA thanks both commentors for their time and feedback that will be used to continue our process improvements. The purpose of this notice is to notify the public that FEMA will submit the information collection abstracted below to the Office of Management and Budget for review and clearance.
