WASHINGTON, July 23 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The U.S. General
Services Administration (GSA) Federal Real Property Report, an annual study
that has helped the Federal government identify and shed billions worth of
unneeded assets, has been updated and is now available, GSA announced
Monday.
The FY 2006 Federal Real Property Report provides an overview of the
Federal government's owned and leased real property as of September 30,
2006. The reported data is pulled from the Federal Real Property Profile
(FRPP) inventory system, a centralized, comprehensive, and descriptive
database of the government's real property portfolio, developed and managed
by GSA.
"Making sure our federal buildings and property are being used in the
best way possible is just good government management," said Kevin Messner,
Acting Associate Administrator in GSA's Office of Governmentwide Policy.
"This report is instrumental in helping agencies tailor their real property
inventories to their needs and has already led to the disposition of more
than $4.5 billion dollars worth of unneeded assets in less than three
years."
The FY 2006 report marks the second reporting year for the
governmentwide data elements as required by Executive Order (EO) 13327,
"Federal Real Property Asset Management." Issued on February 4, 2004, EO
13327 established the Federal Real Property Council to oversee the Federal
government's asset management planning process and to improve government
real property performance. All executive branch agencies are required to
submit constructed asset-level data to the FRPP on an annual basis.
The report is posted on the GSA website at gsa.gov/realpropertyprofile.
Hard copies are available by contacting Dennis Goldstein, Director, Asset
Management Division at 202-219-0608 or dennis.goldstein@gsa.gov.
Further information on the FY 2006 Federal Real Property Report can be
found in FMR-Bulletin 2007-B5 at gsa.gov/federalmanagementregulation.

management agency for the Federal government. GSA manages more than
one-fourth of the government's total procurement dollars and influences the
management of $500 billion in federal assets, including 8,300

420 historic properties, and as manager of USA.gov, the official portal to
federal government information and services. GSA's mission to provide
superior workplaces, expert technology solutions, acquisition services,
purchasing and e-travel solutions and management policies, at best value,
allows federal agencies to focus on their core missions.

for the first time, all responsibility for property management was given to
one agency?
