Program and Financing (in millions of dollars)

This revolving fund provides for real property management and related activities, including operation, maintenance, repair of Federally owned buildings, and the construction of Federal buildings, courthouses and land ports of entry. Expenses of the Federal Buildings Fund (FBF) are financed from rental charges assessed to occupants of General Services Administration (GSA)-controlled space. Rent assessments, by law, approximate commerical rates for comparable space and services. Rental income is augmented by appropriations to the fund when new construction needs exceed the resources available for investment within the fund.

The following table reports rent and other income to the fund.

The FBF consists of the following activities:

Construction and acquisition of facilities._This activity provides for the construction or purchase of facilities and prospectus-level extensions to existing buildings. All costs directly attributable to site acquisition, construction, and the full range of design and construction services, and management and inspection of construction projects are funded under this activity.

Repairs and alterations._This activity provides for repairs and alterations of public buildings as well as associated design and construction services. Protection of the Government's investment, health and safety of building occupants, transfer of agencies from leased space, and cost effectiveness are the principal criteria used in establishing priorities.

GSA makes periodic payments to cover principal, interest, and other requirements on the debt incurred for construction of Federal buildings.

Rental of space._This activity provides for the leasing of privately-owned buildings. Including space occupied by Federal agencies in U.S. Postal Service facilities, the FBF provided 193 million rentable square feet in 2011. GSA expects to provide 201 million square feet of rental space in 2012 and 203 million in 2013.

This appropriation covers relocation costs involved in moving agencies from valuable underutilized property, targeted for public sale, to facilities determined to be more economically suitable to their needs.
