was designated for closure pursuant to the Defense Base Closure and

Realignment Act of 1990, Public Law 101-510, as amended. Pursuant to

installation were on October 14, 1994, declared surplus to the federal

government and available for use by (a) non-federal public agencies

pursuant to various statutes which authorize conveyance of property for

public projects, and (b) homeless provider groups pursuant to the

Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 11411), as

Election To Proceed Under New Statutory Procedures

Subsequently, the Base Closure Community Redevelopment and Homeless

Assistance Act of 1994 (Public Law 103-421) was signed into law.

closure sites the option of proceeding under new procedures with regard

December 20, 1994, the Governor of Guam submitted a timely request to

proceed under the new procedures. Accordingly, this notice of
