Report Organization 1 This page was intentionally left blank. 2 REPORT ORGANIZATION This report contains five tables which provide different ways of organizing, analyzing and displaying information about property owned and leased by the Commonwealth. Table 1: Summary of Commonwealth-Owned Real Property by Executive Office This table shows groupings of Commonwealth-owned property by Executive Office and User Agency. The table lists the total land area in acres, the total number of improvements, and the gross square footage of all improvements for each User Agency and Executive Office. Table 2: Summary of Commonwealth-Owned Real Property by County This table shows grouping of Commonwealth-owned property by County and Executive Office. Since many county governments have been abolished over the years, the County names used refer to the geographic regions they once encompassed and not the governmental body. This table shows the Executive Office overseeing property in each County. This table lists the total land area in acres, the total number of improvements, and the gross square footage of improvements for each Executive Office within each County. Table 3: Commonwealth-Owned Real Property by Executive Office and Agency This table shows groupings of Commonwealth-owned property by Executive Office, User Agency and Facility. The facility or site name under each agency is alphabetical by municipality and shows the total land area in acres, the number of improvements, and gross square footage for each facility. Open land sites will show no improvement or gross square feet. Table 4: Improvements at Each State Facility by Municipality This table provides a detailed list of Commonwealth-owned buildings, structures and other improvements at each Commonwealth facility. This table is organized by City and Town, showing alphabetically each State Agency managing a facility or overseeing a site in that municipality. The total acreage for each site is listed, the name of each improvement at that site is listed, and the total number of any same type structure (for instance 3 sheds) is listed, as well as the gross square footage of each improvement. Open land sites will show no improvement or gross square feet. Totals for Commonwealth property in each municipality are shown. This listing is determined by the reporting of all land and buildings in a city or town by either the User Agency or the Municipality. Table 5: Active Lease Agreements This table lists sites occupied by a State Agency, but not owned by the Commonwealth. Table 5 provides the start and end date of the lease agreement, location of the space, and building usable square footage occupied. For more detailed information about a particular lease agreement, please contact the Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance, Office of Leasing at (617) 727-8000. 3 How to Find a State Owned Property If you know which State Agency manages or occupies a facility - See Appendix 2, Glossary of Terms for a helpful explanation of the acronyms for agencies as well as other terms used in this report. Look in Table 1 to find the executive office and agency of a property. In Table 3 the same executive office and agency will be listed by municipality with all the properties under that agency. Finally in Table 4 look up the municipality and improvements will be listed under all facilities under each agency. If you know the city or town where the facility is located, but not the managing agency - See Table 4, Improvements at Each State Facility by Municipality. Table 4 will also show other facilities in the municipality that are managed by other state agencies. To find out what facilities (sites) are managed by the same Agency statewide - See Table 3, where facility detailed information on agencies is located. To determine the geographic distribution of state-owned property - See Table 2, Summary of Commonwealth-Owned Real Property by County or Region. Keep in mind that many county functions have been dissolved; where applicable, we refer to counties as a geographic region only in relation to the placement of a property within a particular area of the state. If you want to compare how the properties are allocated between Executive Offices - See Table 1, Summary of Commonwealth-Owned Real Property by Executive Office. USING THE APPENDICES Appendix 1 describes the Data Sources used to prepare this report. See the Glossary of Terms in Appendix 2 for an explanation of all User Agency Codes as well as any other abbreviations used in this report. This Appendix also defines technical terms used both in collecting data and in generating the report. Appendix 3: Municipality-County Index Key will help you find which county a municipality is located in. Use the Appendix 4: Data Reconciliation Forms to correct information on an existing property. Please notify us of any acquisition, disposition, or transfers of land. Please update any information found in the report by filling out a form and forwarding it to us. Thank you.

  • U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration REGISTER
    U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration REGISTER A Daily Summary of Motor Carrier Applications and of Decisions and Notices Issued by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration DECISIONS AND NOTICES RELEASED November 14, 2016 -- 10:30 AM NOTICE Please note the timeframe required to revoke a motor carrier's operating authority for failing to have sufficient levels of insurance on file is a 33 day process. The process will only allow a carrier to hold operating authority without insurance reflected on our Licensing and Insurance database for up to three (3) days. Revocation decisions will be tied to our enforcement program which will focus on the operations of uninsured carriers. This process will further ensure that the public is adequately protected in case of a motor carrier crash. Accordingly, we are adopting the following procedure for revocation of authority; 1) The first notice will go out three (3) days after FMCSA receives notification from the insurance company that the carrier's policy will be cancelled in 30 days. This notification informs the carrier that it must provide evidence that it is in full compliance with FMCSA's insurance regulations within 30 days. 2) If the carrier has not complied with FMCSA's insurance requirements after 30 days, a final decision revoking the operating authority will be issued.

This publ i­ cation consolidates information about the University of Massachusetts at Amherst since its inception in 1863 I through the 1976-1977 academic year. The present edition is more condensed than past editions of Factbooks and thus should facilitate yearly updating and publication. I The Factbook has been a large undertaking prohibiting yearly publ ication. The Factbook will allow its readers to have at hand in one volume the most current data I: available on most aspects of campus operations. This collection of data, used in conjunction with University catalogues, The Graduate School Factbook and the Univ­ ers itts Fi nanci al Report, wi 11 answer most ques tions I' regarding the past and present status of the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. I I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the assistance and patience of the clerical and profes­ sional staff of the Office of Budgeting and Institutional I Studies.
