Sec. 102-79.50  What standard must Executive agencies promote in their utilization of space?

    Executive agencies, acquiring or utilizing Federally owned and 
leased space under the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act 
of 1949, as amended, must promote efficient utilization of space 
according to GSA standards. In order to maximize the use of vacant 
space, use existing GSA-controlled space to the maximum extent 
practical. After considering the availability of GSA-controlled space, 
extend priority consideration to available space in buildings under the 
custody and control of the U.S. Postal Service before acquiring 
additional space. Where there is no Federal agency space need, Executive 
agencies must make every effort to maximize the productive use of vacant 
space through out-granting (for example, outlease, permit, license) to 
non-Federal entities to the extent authorized by law.
