The Congressional Budget Office has said a proposed House bill that seeks to create an independent board that would help reduce the inventory of federal civilian properties would cost approximately $40 million to implement from fiscal years 2017 through 2021.

CBO said in a report published Thursday that the passage of the Federal Assets Sale and Transfer Act of 2016 would not result in the application of pay-as-you-go procedures since its implementation would not affect revenues or direct spending.

According to the report, the proposed legislation would allocate $2 million in funds to set up the Public Buildings Reform Board that would determine and recommend to the Office of Management and Budget federal properties that could be put up for sale.

The bill would also authorize $40 million in budget to help carry out the recommendations of the seven-member board that would operate over a period of six years, CBO said.

The measure would also require the board to collaborate with the General Services Administration to redevelop, co-locate or consolidate agency operations in order to identify additional properties that could be sold, according to the agency.

CBO added that the enactment of the bill would not result in on-budget deficit growth “in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2027 but would lead to additional receipts if the board’s recommendations result in the sale of facilities.

The Federal Aviation Administration has rolled out a database that contains information on the location of each registered owner of small unmanned aircraft systems in response to several Freedom of Information Act requests.

FAA said Wednesday the system only includes data on each UAS owner’s zip code, city and state and excludes the owners’ names and street addresses from disclosure in compliance with a FOIA exemption that seeks to safeguard data from possible infringement of personal privacy.

The agency cited as another reason for its decision to limit disclosure of location data to city, state and zip code is that most of the registered drone owners are minors and only use such drones for recreational purposes.

FAA received FOIA requests after it implemented a new registration system on Dec. 21, 2015, for small drones that weigh between 0.55 pounds and 55 pounds.

Owners that use drones for other operations apart from recreational use are also required to register as part of a section 333 exemption requirement, according to the agency.

The Government Accountability Office has recommended for agencies to complete cost savings goals under the Office of Management and Budget‘s data center consolidation initiative.

GAO said in a report published Wednesday agencies aim to reach $8.2 billion in savings and avoidances through fiscal year 2019 but 10 agencies have not yet fulfilled their savings targets.

The government watchdog added there are some discrepancies between agencies’ incremental development reports sent to GAO and similar information posted on OMB’s information technology dashboard.

The study showed 22 agencies reported that 64 percent of 469 active software development projects are scheduled to deliver functionality every six months through fiscal year 2016, but seven selected agencies reported different percentages to GAO and OMB’s IT dashboard.

The report further revealed some differences between GAO’s assessments and chief information officers’ risk ratings on federal agency investments that are posted on the IT dashboard.

GAO said of the 95 investments, its risk assessments matched the CIO ratings 22 times and showed more risk 60 times and less risk 13 times.

For the inconsistencies, GAO recommended for OMB and agencies to upgrade their use of incremental development as well as update the quality and frequency of CIO ratings.
