§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 a list of all property and facilities at the Recreation Area. All TVA property used to run the Recreation Area, including items bought with federal money for TVA land management, must be available to transfer to the Secretary. That covers buildings, office furniture and supplies, computers and office gear, vehicles, tools, maintenance supplies, boats, engines, and publications. TVA can ask the Secretary to keep movable items if TVA shows they are essential and too costly to replace, and the Secretary agrees they are not needed for managing the Recreation Area. Under the memorandum of agreement in section 460lll–43, the Secretary will write down which TVA items will be transferred. TVA must use current staff as much as possible to help with the transfer — for example, replacing signs, repainting vehicles, printing public information, and training new staff — with funds from section 460lll–49. If the Secretary finds any personal property or structures cannot be managed well by the Forest Service or by leasing, the Secretary may declare them excess and sell them on terms that best help the federal government or dispose of them under chapters 1–11 of title 40 and the listed parts of subtitle I of title 41. Net proceeds from any sale must be put into the Fund established by section 460lll–31.
