075210 GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION
1. GENERAL. Pursuant to the provisions of Public Law 92-313, all Federal
agencies are subject to standard level user charges for space, services, and
facilities provided by the General Services Administration (GSA) in both
Government-owned and leased space. The rates for these charges are
approximately equivalent to commercial charges for comparable space and
services. In addition, services above the level included in the standard level
user charges that are furnished by the GSA are billed directly to the ordering
activity.
2. BUDGETING
a. General. All the estimated cost of payments to the GSA Federal
Buildings Fund for space occupied by elements of Navy, both within and
outside the National Capital Region (NCR), including the Department of
the Navy (DON) Secretariat and Staff Offices, should be funded within
the operating appropriation of the affected activity which holds the lease.
While O&M funded activities have their leased space centrally managed
and budgeted, activities funded with other appropriations are centrally
managed, but not centrally budgeted. Activities which are industrially
funded, RDT&E,N funded, or Foreign Military Sales (FMS) funded will
make lease payments from their respective appropriations. In addition,
activities funded in the reserve O&M appropriations should make lease
payments from these appropriations.
b. Budget Preparation. The Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) through his
designated agent prepares appropriate budget backup exhibits on total
Navy requirements to be reflected in the various phases of budget
formulation and execution review. These exhibits combine NCR space
data obtained from the Administrative Officer, Department of the Navy
and data on Navy space occupancy outside the NCR obtained from GSA
as transmitted to the DON by the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Force
Management and Personnel). The Commandant of the Marine Corps
(CMC) similarly prepares appropriate budget backup exhibits based on
NCR space occupancy outside the NCR that is obtained from CNO or his
designated agent.
3. CERTIFICATION AND PAYMENT OF BILLS
a. Procedure. The DON receives a single billing from the Under
Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) (USD (C)) for space assigned to the
DON within the NCR, and another billing from GSA for all space
assigned to the DON outside the NCR.
