Summary
Civilian Property Realignment Act or CPRA - Establishes the Civilian Property Realignment Commission, headed by an Executive Director, to: (1) identify opportunities to reduce significantly the federal government's inventory and cost of federal civilian real property, (2) perform an independent analysis of such inventory, (3) transmit to the President its findings and recommendations for consolidating and otherwise reducing such inventory, and (4) establish and maintain a website for making relevant information about federal civilian real property publicly available. Exempts from the application of this Act certain military installations, properties necessary for national security, and properties reserved for national forest or national park purposes. Requires federal agencies to submit to the Administrator of General Services (GSA) and to the chairperson of the Federal Real Property Council current data on all federal civilian real property and recommendations for the sale or other disposition of such property and for operational efficiencies. Requires the Administrator to develop standards and criteria for the sale or disposal of federal civilian real property. Provides for a review of the Commission's recommendations by the President and by Congress. Establishes procedures for the approval or disapproval by the President and by Congress of, and for implementation of, such recommendations. Exempts properties included in the recommendations for disposal or realignment under this Act from certain public benefit conveyance requirements, including the McKinney-Vento Act (requiring surplus property to be used to assist the homeless). Limits the authority of executive agencies to lease space for the purposes of a public building.
