(c) Whenever negotiations are undertaken for disposal to nonprofit public health or educational organizations which are not instrumentalities of State or local governments of any surplus real property which cost the Government $1 million or more, the Department shall give notice to the Attorney General of the United States of the proposed disposal and the probable terms and conditions thereof. The applicant shall furnish to the Department such information and documents as the Attorney General may determine to be appropriate or necessary to enable him to give the advice as provided for by section 207 of the Act or to determine whether any other disposition or proposed disposition of the surplus real property violates the antitrust laws of the United States.

(d) Where an applicant proposes to acquire and use in place improvements located on land which the Government does not own, he shall be required, before disposal shall be consummated, to obtain a right to use the land commensurate with the duration of the restrictions applicable to the improvements. The applicant shall be required to assume, or obtain release of, the Government's obligations respecting the land including but not limited to such obligations as restoration, waste, and rent. At the option of the Department, the applicant may be permitted to post a bond to indemnify the Government against such obligations.

(e) The Department may require the inclusion on the transfer document of any other provision deemed desirable or necessary.

(f) Where an eligible applicant for an on-site transfer proposes to construct new, or rehabilitate old facilities, the financing of which must be accomplished through issuance of revenue bonds having terms inconsistent with the terms and conditions or transfer prescribed in § 12.9 (c), (d), and (e), the Department may, in its discretion, impose such alternate terms and conditions of transfer in lieu thereof as may be appropriate and effective to assure utilization of the

property for educational or public health purposes: Provided, however, That the right to repossess in the event of national emergency, as set forth in § 12.9 (c) (7) shall be reserved in every transfer.

§ 12.12 Utilization.

(a) Where property or any portion thereof is not being utilized for the purposes for which transferred, the transferee shall be required at the direction of the Department:

(1) To retransfer such property to other health or educational user as the Department may direct;

(2) To sell such property for the benefit and account of the United States; (3) To return title to such property to the United States; or

(4) To abrogate the conditions and restrictions of the transfer, as set forth in § 12.9 (d), except that where property has never been placed in use for the purposes for which transferred, abrogation will not be permitted except under extenuating circumstances.

(5) When the transferee is unable to construct the proposed facilities on land conveyed under the deferred use plan, it may purchase the land as set for in § 12.10 (f).

(b) Where the transferee desires to place the property in temporary use for a purpose other than that for which the property was transferred, approval of the Department must be obtained, and will be conditioned upon such terms as the Department may impose, including but not limited to the requirement that net revenues therefrom will be payable to the Department.
