    1. What is the purpose of this bulletin? This bulletin announces 
the availability of the new Federal Real Property Profile, which 
provides an overview of the United States Government's owned and leased 
real property. This report represents a yearlong effort to improve the 
accuracy and usefulness of the former Worldwide Inventory report.
    2. What is the effective date of this bulletin? This bulletin is 
effective April 22, 2003.
    3. When does this bulletin expire? This bulletin will remain in 
effect indefinitely until specifically cancelled.
    4. What is the background?
    a. This publication is a summary report of the Federal Government's 
real property assets, as reported to the General Services 
Administration's (GSA's) Federal Real Property Profile (FRPP) reporting 
system. It provides an overview of Federal real property assets 
categorized in three major areas--buildings, land, and structures. 
Descriptions of specific use classifications are located in the 
Appendix of the report.
    b. The detailed information for this summary report is held in a 
password-protected Web-based database. This database allows agency 
representatives to update data on-line in real time, and to produce ad 
hoc reports. The FRPP reporting system provides information regarding 
Federal real property holdings to stakeholders including the Congress, 
the Federal community and the public. Its purpose is to assist Federal 
asset managers with their stewardship responsibilities by offering a 
real-time environment for on-line updates.
    c. The FRPP reporting system is a redesign of the former Worldwide 
Inventory data collection and reporting system. GSA and the System 
Design Focus Group, comprised of representatives from the majority of 
Federal agencies with landholding authority, gathered user input and 
defined system and data requirements for the improved system design.
    d. To ensure accuracy, GSA requested that agencies confirm their FY 
2002 data summary figures prior to publication of the FRPP. Most 
agencies provided data based on their real property holdings as of 
September 30, 2002. In a few instances, data provided in previous years 
has been used where updated information was unavailable. This is noted 
on the list of contributing agencies. The agency list and status of 
updates and confirmations is provided as part of the Federal Real 
Property Profile.
    5. Who uses the Federal Real Property Profile? The Federal Real 
Property Profile, managed by the GSA, constitutes a centralized source 
of information for the Congress, Office of Management and Budget, 
General Services Administration, and other Federal agencies, as well as 
universities, libraries, trade associations, the press, the private 
sector and the general public.
    6. How does the Federal Government benefit from the Federal Real 
Property Profile? The Federal Government uses the real property 
profile, in combination with other available data, in: Planning space 
needs, promoting fuller utilization management and property accounting 
surveys, evaluating funding requests for acquisition of real property, 
and facilitating on-site inspection activities.
    7. When is the Federal Real Property Profile published? It is 
published every year and reflects real property data submitted by 
landholding agencies as of the last day of the fiscal year (September 
30).
    8. How can we obtain a copy of the Federal Real Property Profile? 
You will find the Federal Real Property Profile for FY 2002 on the GSA 
Web site at http://www.gsa.gov/realpropertyprofile. There you will be 
able to read, print or download this report. You can also obtain a copy 
from the Real Property Policy Division (MPR), General Services 
Administration, 1800 F Street, NW., Washington, DC 20405.
