Protection And Prompt Disposal Can

Prevent Destruction Of Excess Facilities

In Alaska



Federal agencies may withdraw land from the
public domain and use it for their program re-
quirements. When an agency no longer needs
the property, it notifies the Department of the
Interior, which determines whether the land
is suitable for return to the public domain or
for disposal.

GAO found that excess facilities on land with-
drawn from the public domain in Alaska are
not being protected and maintained and are
subject to extensive deterioration and vandal-
ism while awaiting disposal. Long delays in the
disposal process and a lack of protection allow
excess property to sit idle and become essen-
tially worthless. Untimely actions by the De-
partment of the Interior and holding agencies
have created this situation.

GAO makes several recommendations aimed
at speeding up the disposal process and pro-
tecting property awaiting disposal.
