                Federal  Asset Sale  and Transfer   Act of 2015

         As ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Homeland Security

SUMMARY

S. 2375 aims to better manage federal real property by reducing the inventory of such
property and the cost of maintaining the remaining inventory. The bill would establish the
Federal Real Property Reform Board (board) to provide recommendations to the Office
of Management  and Budget (OMB) regarding specific federal properties that should be
sold. The board would be required to recommend at least five civilian facilities that
should be offered for sale and that have a combined estimated fair market value of at least
$500 million. The legislation also would authorize the appropriation of $2 million to fund
the board and $40 million to implement the board's recommendations.

Assuming  appropriation of the specified amounts, CBO estimates that implementing
S. 2375 would cost $8 million in 2017 and about $40 million over the 2017-2021 period.
If the board's recommendations lead to the sale of facilities, the legislation also would
result in additional receipts. However, CBO has no basis to estimate whether the board's
recommendations would result in the sale of any properties that would not otherwise be
sold under current law. Enacting the bill would not affect direct spending or revenues;
therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.

CBO  estimates that enacting S. 2375 would not increase net direct spending or on-budget
deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2027.

S. 2375 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates  Reform Act (UMRA)  and would not affect the budgets of state,
local, or tribal governments.
