Summary

Before putting net sale proceeds into the Treasury under section 1631a(a), the President’s designee must decide how much of his administrative costs are tied to that property and may deduct those costs plus up to what was spent for caring for the property and paying its taxes from the proceeds. The designee must also determine that the time to sue (1631f(a)), to file a notice of claim (1631f(b)), and to file debt claims (1631g) has passed. Those determinations are final and cannot be changed.
