14 U.S.C. § 5105: Inventory of real property

Summary

The Commandant (head of the Coast Guard) must keep a list of all Coast Guard real property, including underwater lands. The list must show each property's size, location, and a simple description; say how the buildings and structures are doing (but not the land); decide if each place should be kept for missions or sold; and include any other useful facts. The Commandant must update a property's entry within 30 days after control of it changes. By March 30, 2016, and every 5 years after that, the Commandant must send Congress (the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure and the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation) a report with a full property list by type and location, suggestions on what to sell, and ideas for combining properties with cost estimates and how each change would affect Coast Guard missions.
