                       Subpart B_Location of Space
 
Sec. 102-83.110  When an agency's mission and program requirements call 

for the location in an urban area, are executive agencies required to 
give first consideration to central business areas?

    Yes, if an agency has a specific location need to be in an urban 
area, then Executive Orders 12072 and 13006 require that agencies should 
give first consideration to locating in a historic building in a 
historic district in the CBA of a central city of the appropriate 
metropolitan area. If no such space is available, agencies must give 
consideration to locating in a non-historic building in a historic 
district in the CBA of a central city of the appropriate metropolitan 
area. If no such space is available, agencies must give consideration to 
locating in a historic building outside of a historic district in the 
CBA of a central city of the appropriate metropolitan area. If no such 
space is available, agencies should give consideration to locating in a 
non-historic building outside of a historic district in the CBA of a 
central city of the appropriate metropolitan area.
