SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

FASTA created the PBRB as an independent Board to identify opportunities for the Federal government to significantly reduce its inventory of civilian real property and thereby reduce costs. The Board is directed, within 6 months of its formation, to recommend to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) the sale of not fewer than five properties not on the list of surplus or excess with a fair market value of not less than $500 million and not more than $750 million. In two subsequent rounds over a five-year period, the Board is responsible for making recommendations for other sales, consolidations, property disposals or redevelopment of up to $7.25 billion.

Attendees can access the current list of properties recommended for disposal on the PBRB website at pbrb.gov/recommendations/.

Format

The format for all public meetings will be panel discussions with appropriate time allowed for Q&A. A portion of the meeting may be held in Executive Session if the Board is considering issues involving classified or proprietary information.
