(a) Establishing facilities. On its own initiative,
at the request of an agency that controls federal or state property,
of the ECM, or of a private organization, the Agency shall survey
the property, blueprints, or other available information concerning
the property to determine whether the installation of a BET facility
is feasible and consonant with applicable laws and regulations and
with VRD objectives. If the installation of a BET facility is determined
to be feasible, the Agency shall proceed to develop plans for the
establishment of a facility in accordance with procedures promulgated
and implemented by Agency staff and, when the facility is developed,
shall assign a manager to the facility.
(b) Closing facilities. Except for temporary closings
by Agency staff, no BET facility shall be closed by the Agency until
both of the following have occurred:
(1) The BET director has certified to the VRD director
that the facility is no longer a feasible or viable BET facility and
provides reasons for that opinion.
(2) The VRD director has approved the proposed closing
of the facility.
