                 TITLE 42--THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELFARE
 
            CHAPTER 24--DISPOSAL OF ATOMIC ENERGY COMMUNITIES
 
        SUBCHAPTER III--CLASSIFICATION OF PROPERTY AND PRIORITIES
 
Sec. 2332. Priorities; uniformity; preferences; impairment of 
        rights
        
    The Commission shall establish, by rule or regulation, a detailed 
system of reasonable and fair priority rights applicable to the sale of 
Government-owned property to private purchasers at each community. The 
priorities shall--
        (a) be uniform in each class or subclass of property;
        (b) give such preference to occupants and project-connected 
    persons and to incoming employees of the Commission, of a 
    contractor, or of a licensee as the Commission finds necessary or 
    desirable, giving due consideration to the following factors:
            (1) The retention and recruitment of personnel essential to 
        the atomic energy program;
            (2) The minimization of dislocations within the community;
            (3) The expeditious accomplishment of the disposal program; 
        and
            (4) The desirability of encouraging private firms to locate 
        or remain in the community;

        (c) give the occupant of a Government-owned single family house, 
    and the senior occupant of a duplex house, at least ninety days in 
    which to exercise the first right of priority;
        (d) permit persons who have formerly been occupants, project-
    connected persons, or inhabitants of the community, upon application 
    therefor, to have such priority as the Commission finds to be fair 
    and equitable; and
        (e) not impair any rights, including purchase rights, conferred 
    by existing leases and covenants.
