For a period of not more than fifteen years after August 4, 1955, or, in the case of Los Alamos, not more than fifteen years after the date it is included within this chapter, the [Commission](/usc/42/2000ff.md?p=1) shall indemnify the purchaser (except a purchaser taking advantage of the provisions of [section 2326(d) of this title](/usc/42/2326.md?p=d)), and any successor in title, of any such [single family](/usc/42/2304.md?p=m) or duplex house as set forth in this subchapter. This indemnity shall be deemed to be incorporated in the deeds given on the sale of Government-owned houses. One [person](/usc/42/1320a–7k.md?p=d-4-C-i) may not invoke the indemnity in respect of more than one house.


# §2364. Community employment and population


The indemnity obligation specified in [section 2363 of this title](/usc/42/2363.md) shall arise only if, for the six months just preceding the date on which it is invoked—

- (a) the total number of operating, maintenance, and administrative [employees](/usc/42/1320a–7h.md?p=e-7) in the [project area](/usc/42/2304.md?p=i), as determined by the [Commission](/usc/42/2000ff.md?p=1), has been less than fourteen thousand three hundred and thirty-seven in the case of Oak Ridge or seven thousand six hundred and twenty-two in the case of Richland or four thousand six hundred and twenty in the case of Los Alamos; and
- (b) the population in the community has been less than twenty-nine thousand two hundred and fifty in the case of Oak Ridge or twenty-five thousand two hundred in the case of Richland or eleven thousand seven hundred and sixty-nine in the case of Los Alamos.

For purposes of this section employment shall be determined on the basis of the pay period or periods ending nearest the 15th of each month.


# §2365. Amount of indemnity


The indemnity obligation of the [Commission](/usc/42/2000ff.md?p=1) specified in [section 2363 of this title](/usc/42/2363.md) shall be for such amount, less the sales price of the property, as would have remained unpaid under a loan entered into on the date of the execution of the original deed by the [Commission](/usc/42/2000ff.md?p=1)—

- (1) which was in the amount of the purchase price from the [Commission](/usc/42/2000ff.md?p=1) and provided for equal monthly payments of principal and interest over a period of twenty years computed on the basis of the average interest and other charges recorded for property of the same class at the community; and
- (2) on which all payments due to the date when notice was received by the [Commission](/usc/42/2000ff.md?p=1) had been made.

# §2366. Conditions of indemnity; purchase of property by Commission


The [Commission](/usc/42/2000ff.md?p=1) shall make the indemnity payment specified by [section 2365 of this title](/usc/42/2365.md) only if the [Commission](/usc/42/2000ff.md?p=1) receives a notice from the then [owner](/usc/42/13641.md?p=4) of the property that he is about to sell the property for a sum less than the unpaid balance of the real or hypothetical loan calculated pursuant to such section. Such payment shall be made only if—

- (a) notice is given to the [Commission](/usc/42/2000ff.md?p=1) at a time when the conditions of [section 2364 of this title](/usc/42/2364.md) are satisfied;
- (b) the sale is made within such time as the [Commission](/usc/42/2000ff.md?p=1) may prescribe and in a manner which the [Commission](/usc/42/2000ff.md?p=1) determined to afford adequate assurance of a fair price without excessive costs; and
- (c) the [Commission](/usc/42/2000ff.md?p=1) is given such prior notice of the sale and such opportunity to become a purchaser as it shall prescribe.

In such circumstances the [Commission](/usc/42/2000ff.md?p=1) is authorized to purchase the property. Sales pursuant to this section and payment by the [Commission](/usc/42/2000ff.md?p=1) of such amount, if any, as is owing pursuant to [sections 2363 to 2366](/usc/42/2363..2366.md) of this title shall end the obligation of the [Commission](/usc/42/2000ff.md?p=1) under [sections 2363 to 2366](/usc/42/2363..2366.md) of this title with respect to that property.
