Authority: Antideficiency Act (31 U.S.C. 665). Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 (40 U.S.C. 484(b)). 31 U.S.C. 200. =41 C.F.R. 101. CME Circular A-34. The General Setlices Administration's (GSA's) Fractices for fundinq the costs to protect and maintain excess aid surplus redl prcperty were reviewed. GSA has adopted the policy that it will decide the amount of funding needed for the protection and maintenance of surplus Federal real property and that these funds will be provided when GSA assumes financial responsibility for the property. However, GSA is financially respcnsiLlE to reimburse holuing agencies for providing protecUon and maintenance after a specified time. GSA Laz not taken the actions necessary tc reimburse the military services for protection and mai.ntenance expenditures although the services have provided protection and maintenance at their own expense, sometimes beyond the 12-month to 15-month requirement. Luring fiscal years 1975 through 1977, GSA entered into 13 formal written protection and maintenance agreemepts with other agencies but did not record these agreements as obligaticns against applicable appropriation accounts and subsequently defaulted on payments. Incurring obligations without sufficient financial resources to meet the obligations agreed upon constitutes a violation of the Antideficiency Act. The Administrator of 3SA should require that: GSA's budgetary process for acquiring protection and maintenance funds be reviewe:d aid that procedures be established to request sufficieLt funds to reimburse holding agencies, procedures tu be initiated are monitored to ensure that obligations are recorded against appropriation accounts, and a review is made to determine where violations of the Antideficiency Act have occurred.
