MATTER  OF:  Air Force Request for Advance Decision


DIGEST:


    The advance payment of rent, on annual bcasis, under
    proposed lease of land with the State of Idaho is
    not in contravention of the prohibition against
    advance payments in 31 U.S.C. S 529 since possibil-
    ity of loss is remote where a State is the recipient.

    The Deputy Director, Plans and Systems, of the Depart-
ment of the Air Force, by letter dated February 1, 1978,
has forwarded to our Office a request for an advance
decision as to the propriety of annual advr  - payment
of rent under a proposed real estate lease   :h the State
of Idaho.

    it is reported that the Seattle DIstrict, Corps of
Engineers, Department of the Army, has beer negotiating
with the state of Idaho since May 5, 1977, for the re-
newnl of Lease No. DACh67-5-73-196. Un:der the proposed
renewal agreement, the State of Idaho is to continue to
lease to the Government 520 acres, more nr less, located
atrMountain Home Small Arms Range, Mnuntain Home AFB,
Idaho, for use as a clear zone in ccmpliunce with safety
regulations.  After an initial term of 6 months, the pro-
posed lease is to remain in force from year to year until
June 30, 1982, unless the Government gives notice of ter-
mination or adequate appropriations become unavailable.
An..ar1 payment of rent under the lease is to be made by
the Accounting and Finance Officer at Mountain Home AFB.
