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 102-75.750 through 102.75.815).
    Under the sponsorship of Federal Emergency Management Agency (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.
