TITLE 42 - THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELFARE

CHAPTER 37 - COMMUNITY FACILITIES AND ADVANCE LAND ACQUISITION

-HEAD-

Sec. 3104. Advance acquisition of land for public purposes

-STATUTE-

(a) Authority to make grants

In order to encourage and assist the timely acquisition of land

planned to be utilized in the future for public purposes, the

Secretary is authorized to make grants to States and local public

bodies and agencies to assist in financing the acquisition of a fee

simple estate or other interest in such land.

(b) Maximum amount of grants

The amount of any grant made under this section shall not exceed

the aggregate amount of reasonable interest charges on the loans or

other financial obligations incurred to finance the acquisition of

such land for a period not in excess of the lesser of (1) five

years from the date of acquisition of such land or (2) the period

of time between the date on which the land was acquired and the

date its use began for the purpose for which it was acquired:

Provided, That where all or any portion of the cost of such land is

not financed through borrowings, the amount of the grant shall be

computed on the basis of the aggregate amount of reasonable

interest charges that the Secretary determines would have been

required.

(c) Utilization of land for public purpose within reasonable period

of time

No grant shall be made under this section unless the Secretary

determines that the land will be utilized for a public purpose

within a reasonable period of time and that such utilization will

contribute to economy, efficiency, and the comprehensively planned

development of the area. The Secretary shall in all cases require

that land acquired with the assistance of a grant under this

section be utilized for a public purpose within five years after

the date on which a contract to make such grant is entered into,

unless the Secretary determines that due to unusual circumstances a

longer period of time is necessary and in the public interest.

(d) Diversion of land; repayment; interim use

No land acquired with assistance under this section shall,

without approval of the Secretary, be diverted from the purpose

originally approved. The Secretary shall approve no such diversion

unless he finds that the diversion is in accord with the then

applicable comprehensive plan for the area. In cases of a diversion

of land to other than a public purpose, the Secretary may require

repayment of the grant, or substitution of land of approximately

equal fair market value, whichever he deems appropriate. An interim

use of the land for a public or private purpose in accordance with

standards prescribed by the Secretary, or approved by him, shall

not constitute a diversion within the meaning of this subsection.

(e) Eligibility for other Federal loans or grant programs

Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no project for which

land is acquired with assistance under this section shall, solely

as a result of such advance acquisition, be considered ineligible

for the purpose of any other Federal loan or grant program, and the

amount of the purchase price paid for the land by the recipient of

a grant under this section may be considered an eligible cost for

the purpose of such other Federal loan or grant program.

was incurred and the date construction is begun on the public work

or facility, to not more than the lesser of (1) five years from the

date of acquisition of such land, or (2) the period of time between

the date on which the land was acquired and the date its use began

for the purpose for which it was acquired, and inserted proviso

requiring the amount of the grant, where all or any portion of the

cost of land is not financed through borrowings, to be computed on

the basis of the aggregate amount of reasonable interest charges

that the Secretary determines would have been required.

Subsec. (c). Pub. L. 90-448 substituted provisions requiring the

Secretary to determine that the land will be utilized for a public

purpose within a reasonable period of time, for provisions which

required a determination that the public work or facility for which

the land is to be utilized is planned to be constructed or

initiated within a reasonable period of time, empowered the

Secretary to extend the time if he determines that due to unusual

circumstances a longer period of time is necessary and in the

public interest, and required a prompt report of such determination

to Congressional Committees.

Subsec. (d). Pub. L. 90-448 inserted provisions prohibiting

diversion of land without approval of the Secretary, directing the

Secretary to disapprove any diversion unless he finds that the

diversion is in accord with the then applicable comprehensive plan

for the area, authorizing the Secretary to accept, in cases of

repayment, substitution of land of approximately equal fair market

value, and stating that an interim use of land for a public or

private purpose in accordance with prescribed standards shall not

constitute a diversion, and eliminated provisions which required

repayment if the land purchased with assistance is not utilized

within five years after the agreement is entered into in connection

with the construction of the public work or facility for which the

land was acquired.

for such facilities in order to provide basic safeguards for the

health and well-being of the people of the United States, to check

widespread pollution of irreplaceable water sources, and to provide
