Sec. 102-85.160  How does a customer agency know how much to budget 
for Rent?

    GSA normally provides customer agencies an estimate of Rent 
increases approximately 2 months prior to the agencies' Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) submission for the fiscal year in which GSA 
will charge Rent. This gives the affected customer agencies an

such changes prior to notifying customer agencies. In the event GSA is 
unable to provide timely notice of a future Rent increase, customer 
agencies are nonetheless obligated to pay the increased Rent amount. For 
existing assignments in owned buildings, GSA charges for fully serviced 
shell Rent, in aggregate, shall not exceed the bureau level budget 
estimates provided to the customer agencies annually. This provision 
does not apply to:
    (a) New assignments;
    (b) Changes in current assignments;
    (c) Leased space;
    (d) New tenant improvement amortization;
    (e) Building specific security costs; and
    (f) New amortization of capital expenditures under ROI pricing due 
to changes in scope of proposed projects or repair and/or replacement of 
building components
