§622 — Title 40 Public Buildings, Property, and Works | U.S. Code

Summary

Each year the Postmaster General must list postal properties that have space for Federal use and, by September 30, send that list to two congressional committees. The list may also go to the Council, which must give it to agencies within 30 days. Agencies have 90 days to review and recommend collocations. If both approve, the agency or landholder may negotiate leases. Does not change competitive-bidding rules.
