Federal Property Management Reform Act of 2016

Summary

Federal Property Management Reform Act of 2016 This bill directs the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) to identify annually a list of postal properties with space available for use by federal agencies and submit such list to specified congressional committees by September 30. This list shall also be provided to each federal agency for review and for making recommendations for collocations. The bill establishes a Federal Property Council to: (1) develop guidance and ensure implementation of an efficient and effective property management strategy, (2) identify opportunities for the federal government to better manage its property and assets, and (3) reduce the costs of managing federal properties. The bill directs the General Services Administration to establish and maintain a database of all real property under the custody and control of all federal agencies. Federal agencies with independent leasing authority shall annually submit to the Council a list of all leases currently in effect. This requirement shall not apply to the USPS or any other property excluded for national security reasons. The USPS shall: (1) maintain adequate inventory controls and accountability systems for postal properties, (2) develop workforce projections to assess the property-related needs of the USPS workforce, and (3) conduct on a regular basis an inventory of postal property that is real property and make an assessment of the condition of each postal property. The bill establishes agency requirements for the deposit and use of proceeds from the transfer or sale of surplus real property. The bill requires reports to Congress by: (1) the Inspector General of the USPS on excess property held by the USPS and recommendations for repurposing such property, and (2) the Government Accountability Office on the USPS postal service vehicle fleet. The bill expands the duties of federal agencies, with respect to the use of federal real property, to require: (1) workforce projections to assess the property-related requirements of the federal workforce, (2) the establishment of goals and priorities to reduce excess and underutilized property, (3) assessments of leased space to identify space that is not fully used or occupied, and (4) an annual inventory of real property under agency control and an assessment of the condition of such property.
