Summary

Ranger Fair Housing Act of 1991 - Authorizes: (1) the Secretary of the Interior (Secretary) and the Secretary of Agriculture to make employee housing and associated recreational facilities available, on or off the lands under the jurisdiction of the Secretary, and to rent or lease such housing to the respective department at a reasonable value; and (2) the Secretary to enter into contracts and agreements with public and private entities to provide such housing. Directs the Secretary to: (1) conduct an annual survey of rental quarters available from the private sector within 30 miles of duty stations under the Secretary's jurisdiction; and (2) provide suitable housing if any such survey indicates that privately-owned housing is inadequate for the personnel assigned to the duty station. Requires that the Secretary and the Secretary of Agriculture: (1) classify all existing Government-owned facilities, including employee housing, by agency, within the areas under their respective jurisdictions with respect to physical condition and necessity and suitability for the effective prosecution of the agency mission; and (2) develop an agency-wide priority listing, by structure, identifying those units in greatest need for repair, rehabilitation, replacement, or initial construction. Requires that a report of this study be delivered to specified congressional committees. Requires that: (1) expenditure of any funds authorized and appropriated for construction, repair, or rehabilitation follow the priority listing established by each agency in sequential order; and (2) funding available from other sources for housing repair be distributed as determined by the Secretary, subject to specified requirements. Authorizes: (1) the Secretary to determine that secondary quarters for employees who are permanently duty stationed at remote locations and are regularly required to relocate for temporary periods are necessary for the effective administration of the area; (2) such temporary quarters to be made available to employees, subject to specified requirements; and (3) the Secretary to enter into cooperative agreements or joint ventures with local governmental and private entities to provide appropriate and necessary utility and other infrastructure facilities in support of employee housing facilities provided under this Act.
