§460lll–45 Transfer of personal property

Summary

Within 60 days after the transfer under section 460lll–41, the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) must give the Secretary an inventory of all Recreation Area property and facilities. TVA property used to run the Recreation Area, including items bought with federal money for TVA land, can be transferred to the Secretary. That covers buildings, office furniture and equipment, computers, vehicles, tools and maintenance supplies, boats and engines, and publications. TVA can ask the Secretary to keep movable items if TVA shows they are essential to TVA’s mission and too costly to replace, and the Secretary agrees they are not needed to run the Recreation Area. Under the memorandum of agreement from section 460lll–43, the Secretary will write down which TVA property will transfer. TVA should, when practical, use current staff to help move property and handle new signs, repainting, public information, and training; funding for those costs will come from section 460lll–49. If the Secretary finds property (including structures) cannot be managed efficiently by the Forest Service or by lease or permit, the Secretary may declare it excess and sell it or dispose of it under chapters 1–11 of title 40 and division C of subtitle I of title 41 (subject to the exceptions in the law). Net proceeds from any sale must go into the fund in section 460lll–31.
