approved October 25, 1994, 42 U.S.C. 11301, note, (``Redevelopment
Act'') amends the Defense Authorization Amendments and Base Closure and
Realignment Act of 1988, Pub. L. 100-526, and the National Defense
Authorization Act of Fiscal Year 1991, Pub. L. 101-510 (both at 10
U.S.C. Sec. 2687, note), both as amended by the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1994, Pub. L. 103-160. The
Redevelopment Act is implemented jointly by both the Department of

32 CFR Part 92, on August 8, 1995, and HUD published its implementing
regulations at 60 FR 42972, 24 CFR Part 586, on August 17, 1995. These

military installations. The regulations also provide HUD with the
authority to approve waivers upon completion of a determination and
finding of good cause, except for deadlines and actions required on the
part of DoD.

approve base reuse plans and to grant waivers. The present action is
