The Administrator of General Services is authorized to transfer to the government of Guam all right, title, and interest of the United States in and to surplus property located on Guam by quitclaim deed and without reimbursement, to compensate for unreimbursed impact expenses claimed on behalf of Guam pursuant to section 104(e)(9) of the Compact of Free Association Amendments Act of 2003 ( 48 U.S.C. 1921c(e)(9) ). Such transfers of surplus property shall be in accordance with— subtitle I of title 40, United States Code; Public Law 103–339 (commonly known as the Guam Excess Lands Act ); and Public Law 106–504 (commonly known as the Guam Omnibus Opportunities Act ), except paragraphs
(1)and (2)(D) of section 1(b) of such Act. The Administrator shall notify the Governor of Guam when any surplus property becomes available under this section. If within 90 days after receiving notification under subsection
(b)the Governor notifies the Administrator that the territorial government intends to acquire the surplus property, the Administrator shall transfer such property pursuant to this section. Transfers of surplus property authorized by this section shall take place after— the Administrator completes an appraisal determining the estimated fair-market value of the surplus property, the cost of which shall be paid for in accordance with section 571(b) of title 40, United States Code; and the Governor submits to the Administrator and the Delegate to the House of Representatives from Guam a detailed plan for the future use of such surplus property and makes such plan available on a public government website. The conveyance document for any surplus property that is real property transferred under this section located in a 6-mile radius of an airport shall contain a provision that requires a determination by the Federal Aviation Administration that no interference to air navigation exists in accordance with regulations set forth in subparts I and III of part A of subtitle VII of title 49, United States Code, in order for construction or alteration on the property to be permitted. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, the Administrator may choose not to transfer any surplus property under this section on which there is severe contamination, the remedy of which would require the United States to incur extraordinary costs. The fair-market value, appraised or otherwise estimated, of any surplus property transferred to the government of Guam under this section shall be used to supplement and not supplant other Federal funds provided to the government of Guam as compensation or reimbursement for costs or impact expenses incurred by that affected jurisdiction pursuant to— section 104(e)(6) of the Compact of Free Association Act of 1985 ( 48 U.S.C. 1904(e)(6) ); section 104(e)(3) and section 104(e)(6) of the Compact of Free Association Amendments Act of 2003; and any other impact aid provided to the government of Guam under any other authority. Land parcels (or the value thereof) included in the inventory under section
(3)and transferred by the Secretary of Defense to the government of Guam shall not be counted— as compensation or reimbursement by the Federal Government for costs or impact expenses incurred by the territorial government; or for compensation by the Federal Government for unreimbursed impact expenses pursuant to subsection (a).
