HR 6277 United States House · 118th Congress

FASTA Reform Act of 2023

The FASTA Reform Act of 2023 amends the Federal Assets Sale and Transfer Act of 2016 to streamline the sale and management of federal real property. It requires federal agencies to use "innovative methods" like no-cost contracts for real estate services to maximize taxpayer value, adds new reporting requirements about campus facilities and acreage, and reduces the Board size from five to four members. The bill extends the Board's deadline to December 31, 2026, and creates a pathway for the Executive Director to return to civil service after Board service ends. These changes directly affect federal agencies managing real estate and the Federal Assets Sale and Transfer Board.
