Sec. 102-73.65  Are there any limitations on leasing certain types of space?

    Yes, the limitations on leasing certain types of space are as 
follows:
    (a) In general, Federal agencies may not lease any space to 
accommodate computer and telecommunications operations; secure or 
sensitive activities related to the national defense or security; or a 
permanent courtroom, judicial chamber, or administrative office for any 
United States court, if the average annual net rental cost of leasing 
such space would exceed the prospectus threshold (40 U.S.C. 606(e)).
    (b) However, Federal agencies may lease such space if the 
Administrator of General Services first determines that leasing such 
space is necessary to meet requirements which cannot be met in public 
buildings and then submits such determination to the Committee on 
Environment and Public Works of the Senate and the Committee on 
Transportation and Infrastructure of the House of Representatives in 
accordance with 40 U.S.C. 606(e).
