    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with 24 CFR part 581 and

    U.S.C. 11411), as amended, HUD is publishing this notice to identify 
    Federal buildings
    
    [[Page 49250]]
    
    and other real property that HUD has reviewed for suitability for use 
    to assist the homeless. The properties were reviewed using information 
    provided to HUD by Federal landholding agencies regarding unutilized 
    and underutilized buildings and real property controlled by such 
    agencies or by GSA regarding its inventory of excess or surplus Federal 
    property. This notice is also published in order to comply with the 
    December 12, 1988 Court Order in National Coalition for the Homeless v. 
    Veterans Administration, No. 88-2503-OG (D.D.C.).
        Properties reviewed are listed in this Notice according to the 
    following categories: Suitable/available, suitable/unavailable, 
    suitable/to be excess, and unsuitable. The properties listed in the 
    three suitable categories have been reviewed by the landholding 
    agencies, and each agency has transmitted to HUD: (1) Its intention to 
    make the property available for use to assist the homeless, (2) its 
    intention to declare the property excess to the agency's needs, or (3) 
    a statement of the reasons that the property cannot be declared excess 
    or made available for use as facilities to assist the homeless.
        Properties listed as suitable/available will be available 
    exclusively for homeless use for a period of 60 days from the date of 
    this Notice. Homeless assistance providers interested in any such 
    property should send a written expression of interest to HHS, addressed 
    to Brian Rooney, Division of Property Management, Program Support 
    Center, HHS, room 5B-41, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20857; (301) 
    443-2265. (This is not a toll-free number.) HHS will mail to the 
    interested provider an application packet, which will include 
    instructions for completing the application. In order to maximize the 
    opportunity to utilize a suitable property, providers should submit 
    their written expressions of interest as soon as possible. For complete 
    details concerning the processing of applications, the reader is 
    encouraged to refer to the interim rule governing this program, 24 CFR 
    part 581.
        For properties listed as suitable/to be excess, that property may, 
    if subsequently accepted as excess by GSA, be made available for use by 
    the homeless in accordance with applicable law, subject to screening 
    for other Federal use. At the appropriate time, HUD will publish the 
    property in a Notice showing it as either suitable/available or 
    suitable/unavailable.
        For properties listed as suitable/unavailable, the landholding 
    agency has decided that the property cannot be declared excess or made 
    available for use to assist the homeless, and the property will not be 
    available.
        Properties listed as unsuitable will not be made available for any 
    other purpose for 20 days from the date of this Notice. Homeless 
    assistance providers interested in a review by HUD of the determination 
    of unsuitability should call the toll free information line at 1-800-
    927-7588 for detailed instructions or write a letter to Mark Johnston 
    at the address listed at the beginning of this notice. Included in the 
    request for review should be the property address (including zip code), 
    the date of publication in the Federal Register, the landholding 
    agency, and the property number.
        For more information regarding particular properties identified in 
    this Notice (i.e., acreage, floor plan, existing sanitary facilities, 
    exact street address), providers should contact the appropriate 
    landholding agencies at the following addresses: GSA: Mr. Brian K. 
    Polly, Assistant Commissioner, General Services Administration, Office 
    of Property Disposal, 18th and F Streets, NW, Washington, DC 20405; 
    (202) 501-2059; NAVY: Mr. Charles C. Cocks, Department of the Navy,
