PUBLIC BUILDING RESOLUTIONS
Title 40. United States Code. (Public Buildings, Property, and Works)
Chapter 12. Construction, Alteration, and Acquisition of
Public Buildings
Sec. 606. Approval of proposed projects by Congress
(a) Limitation of funds; transmission to Congress of
prospectus of proposed project
In order to insure the equitable distribution of public
buildings throughout the United States with due regard for the
comparative urgency of need for such buildings, except as
provided in section 603 of this title, no appropriation shall
be made to construct, alter, purchase, or to acquire any
building to be used as a public building which involves a total
expenditure in excess of $1,500,000 if such construction,
alteration, purchase, or acquisition has not been approved by
resolutions adopted by the Committee on Public Works of the
Senate and House of Representatives, respectively. No
appropriations shall be made to lease any space at an average
annual rental in excess of $1,500,000 for use for public
purposes if such lease has not been approved by resolutions
adopted by the Committee on Public Works of the Senate and
House of Representatives, respectively. No appropriation shall
be made to alter any building, or part thereof, which is under
lease by the United States for use for a public purpose if the
cost of such alteration would exceed $750,000 unless such
alteration has been approved by resolutions adopted by the
Committee on Environment and Public Works of the Senate and the
Committee on Public Works and Transportation of the House of
Representatives. For the purpose of securing consideration for
such approval, the Administrator shall transmit to the Congress
a prospectus of the proposed facility, including (but not
limited to)--
(1) a brief description of the building to be
constructed, altered, purchased, acquired, or the space
to be leased under this chapter;
(2) the location of the building or space to be leased
and an estimate of the maximum to the United States of
the facility to be constructed, altered, purchased,
acquired, or the space to be leased;
(3) a comprehensive plan for providing space for all
Government officers and employees in the locality of
the proposed facility or the space to be leased, having
due regard for suitable space which may continue to be
available in existing Government-owned or occupied
buildings, especially such of those buildings as
enhance the architectural, historical, social,
cultural, and economic environment of the locality;
(4) with respect to any project for the construction,
alteration, purchase, or acquisition of any building, a
statement by the Administrator that suitable space
owned by the Government is not available and that
suitable rental space is not available at a price
commensurate with that to be afforded through the
proposed action;
(5) a statement by the Administrator of the economic
and other justifications for not acquiring or
purchasing a building or buildings identified to the
Administrator pursuant to section 611(c) of this title
as suitable for the public building needs of the
Federal Government; and
(6) a statement of rents and other housing costs
currently being paid by the Government for Federal
agencies to be housed in the building to be
constructed, altered, purchased, acquired, or the space
to be leased.
(b) Increase of estimated maximum cost
The estimated maximum cost of any project approved under
this section as set forth in any prospectus may be increased by
an amount equal to the percentage increase, if any, as
determined by the Administrator, in construction, or alteration
costs, as the case may be, from the date of transmittal of such
prospectus to Congress, but in no event shall the increase
authorized by this subsection exceed 10 per centum of such
estimated maximum cost.
(c) Rescission of approval for failure to make
appropriations for project
In the case of any project approved for construction,
alteration, or acquisition by the Committees on Public Works of
the Senate and of the House of Representatives, respectively,
in accordance with subsection (a) of this section, for which an
appropriation has not been made within one year after the date
of such approval, either the Committee on Public Works of the
Senate or the Committee on Public Works of the House of
Representatives, may rescind, by resolution, its approval of
such project at any time thereafter before such an
appropriation has been made.
(d) Emergency leases by the Administrator
Nothing in this section shall be construed to prevent the
Administrator from entering into emergency leases during any
period declared by the President to require such emergency
leasing authority, except that no such emergency lease shall be
for a period of more than 180 days without approval of a
prospectus for such lease in accordance with subsection (a) of
this section.
(e) Limitation on leasing certain space
(1) General rule
The Administrator may not lease any space to
accommodate--
(A) computer and telecommunications
operations;
(B) secure or sensitive activities related to
the national defense or security, except in any
case in which it would be inappropriate to
locate such activities in a public building or
other facility identified with the United
States Government; or
(C) a permanent courtroom, judicial chamber,
or administrative office for any United States
court; if the average rental cost of leasing
such space would exceed $1,500,000.
(2) Exception
The Administrator may lease any space with respect to
which paragraph (1) applies if the Administrator first
determines, for reasons set forth in writing, that
leasing such space is necessary to meet requirements
which cannot be met in public buildings and submits
such reasons to the Committee on Environment and Public
Works of the Senate and the Committee on Public Works
and Transportation of the House of Representatives.
(f) Dollar amount adjustment
Any dollar amount referred to in this section and section
603(b) of this title may be adjusted by the Administrator
annually to reflect a percentage increase or decrease in
construction costs during the preceding calendar year, as
determined by the composite index of construction costs of the
Department of Commerce. Any such adjustment shall be
expeditiously reported to the Committee on Environment and
Public Works of the Senate and the Committee on Public Works
and Transportation of the House of Representatives.

are authorized and directed to make such building project
surveys as may be requested by resolution by either the
Committee on Environment and Public Works of the Senate or the
Committee on Public Works and Transportation of the House of

report thereon to the Congress. Such report shall contain all
other information required to be included in a prospectus of
