40 U.S.C. § 6713: Certification of new…

Summary

No new construction in the development area can start unless the Administrator of General Services first certifies that the work is, or can reasonably be expected to be, consistent with the development plan in section 5(a) of the Pennsylvania Avenue Development Corporation Act of 1972 (Public Law 92–578, 86 Stat. 1269). "New construction" means major projects like big remodeling, conversion, rebuilding, enlargement, extension, or major structural improvements, but it does not include ordinary maintenance, small repairs, or changes needed just to keep people in the building.
