Primary Systems usually eligible although exceptions may occur for
cases such as requirements for special vehicles usage or for weapons
safety. In many instances, costs incurred are shared with local or state
governments, in which case the access roads may, thereby, become
part of the state or local system. The Navy budgets funds each year in
the military construction appropriation for access roads, which are
authorized in 23 U.S. Code 210. When an access road is certified for
construction, funds are transferred to the Federal Highway
Administration, United States Department of Transportation, which
assures compliance with requirements of law and executes the
program, principally through state and local highway agencies. When
the funds are transferred, there is no further Navy responsibility.
Reports on the status of funds are made available through accounting
reports provided by the Federal Highway Administration.
c. Minor Land Acquisition.
The Secretary of the Navy, under 10 U.S. Code 2672, is authorized to
procure land or easements when the cost is not more than $500,000 per
parcel (exclusive of administrative costs and deficiency judgments)
and when he or his designee determines that it is needed in the interest
of national defense. This authority does not permit the acquisition, as
part of the same project, of two or more contiguous parcels of land that
together, cost more than $500,000. Under 10 U.S. Code 2672a and
2673, the Secretary is permitted to pay for this additional land from
either construction or operating funds.
d. Urgent Land Acquisition.
Under 10 U.S. Code 2672a, the Secretary of the Navy, when
consideration of urgency does not permit the delay necessary to
include the required acquisition in an annual Military Construction
Authorization Act, may make surveys and acquire interest in land
(including temporary use) by gift, purchase, exchange of land owned
by the United States, or otherwise. The acquisition must be required to
maintain the operational integrity of a military installation and needed
in the interests of national defense. While the $500,000 limitation
does not apply, any contemplated action must be provided in writing to
the Armed Services Committees of the Senate and House of
Representatives at least 30 days in advance of any action being taken.
