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 executive 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 Real Property Council to: (1) develop guidance and ensure implementation of an efficient and effective real property management strategy, (2) identify opportunities for the federal government to better manage its property and assets, (3) reduce the costs of managing federal properties, and (4) establish a real property management plan template. 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: (1) shall maintain adequate inventory controls and accountability systems for postal properties; (2) shall develop workforce projections to assess the property-related needs of the USPS workforce; (3) may develop a five-year management template that establishes goals and policies that will lead to the reduction of excess property and underutilized property; and (4) if it develops such a template, shall conduct on a regular basis and report on an inventory of postal property that is real property. The bill requires the Inspector General of the USPS to submit a report on excess property held by the USPS and recommendations for repurposing such property. 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 postal real 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.
