MATTER OF:


DIGEST:


DAT


E:      January 7, 1981


Donation of Federal Archives Building, New
York under 40 U.S.C. 5 484(k)(3).


1.  We are unaware of any basis for legally
    objecting to approval of Archives Preservation
    Corporation's (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
    New York State Urban Development Corporation)
    application for conveyance of the Federal Ar-
    chives Building in New York City for historic
    monument purposes and revenue producing activi-
    ties pursuant to 40 U.S.C. 5 484(k)(3). Even
    though the application requires the developer
    who will be restoring and maintaining the pro-
    perty to make payments in lieu of real estate
    and sales taxes, these are customary costs for
    UDC sponsored projects and they are not being
    assessed merely to circumvent the requirement
    that all incomes in excess of costs be used
    for historic preservation purposes.     .


2.  New York Urban Development Corporation may be
    reimbursed fee representing costs it has incurred
    in participating in the development and implemen-
    tation of plan for restoration and maintenance of
    Federal Archives Building in New York City pursuant
    to 40 U.S.C. § 484(k)(3) if the Secretary of the
    Interior deems the fees to be reasonable (and we
    have we have no information that they are not)
    since it is UDC's custom to recover these costs
    from developers under projects it sponsors-and


    these are valid costs of the project.          -'1c

3.  New York Landmarks Conservancy, a nonprofit
    corporation which participated at the request of the
    General Services Administration and New York City
    in preparation of plan and selection of developer
    to implement plan for repair and maintenance of Fed-
    eral Archives Building in New York City following
    donation to State pursuant to 40 U.S.C. S 484(k)(3),
    may be paid a fee to reimrburse the Conservancy its
    costs if the Secretary of the Interior finds it rea-
    sonable.  Reimbursement may properly be considered
    project cost and not incomes in excess of costs.
