the Federal Reserve System,

Washington, D.C. 20551.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Consumer Advisory Council was

established in 1976, at the direction of

the Congress, to advise the Federal

Reserve Board on the exercise of its

duties under the Consumer Credit

Protection Act and on other consumerrelated matters. The Council by law

represents the interests both of

consumers and of the financial

community (15 USC 1691(b)). Under the

Rules of Organization and Procedure of

the Consumer Advisory Council (12

CFR 267.3), members serve three-year

terms that are staggered to provide the

Council with continuity.

New members will be selected for

terms beginning January 1, 1997, to

replace members whose terms expire

this year. Nomination letters should

include information about past and

present positions held by the nominee;

a description of special knowledge,

interests or experience related to

community reinvestment, consumer

credit, or other consumer financial

services; and the nominee’s address and

telephone number. Individuals may

nominate themselves.

The Board is interested in candidates

who have some familiarity with

community reinvestment or consumer

financial services and who are willing to

express their viewpoints. Candidates do

not have to be experts on all levels of

community reinvestment or consumer

financial services, but they should

possess some basic knowledge of the

area. They must be able and willing to

make the necessary time commitment to

prepare for and attend meetings (usually

for two days, including committee

meetings) three times a year.

In making the appointments, the

Board will seek to complement the

background of continuing Council

members in terms of affiliation and

geographic representation, and to ensure

the representation of women and

minority groups. The Board expects to

announce its selection of new members

by year-end.

GENERAL SERVICES

ADMINISTRATION

[GSA Bulletin FPMR D–238]

Locating Federal Facilities on Historic

Properties in Our Nation’s Central

Cities

1. Purpose. This bulletin announces

the policy concerning the location of

Federal facilities on historic properties

in our central cities.

2. Expiration date. This bulletin

contains information of a continuing

nature and will remain in effect until

canceled.

3. Background. a. On May 21, 1996,

President Clinton signed Executive

Order 13006, entitled ‘‘Locating Federal

Facilities on Historic Properties in Our

Nation’s Central Cities,’’ to encourage

‘‘leasing, acquiring, locating,

maintaining, or managing’’ Federal

facilities on historic properties in our

nation’s central cities. So that federal

agencies may benefit from GSA’s real

property management expertise,

government-wide policy guidance is

being provided concerning the

acquisition and use of historic

properties to be utilized by federal

agencies where operationally

appropriate and economically prudent.

b. The Public Buildings Cooperative

Use Act of 1976 (40 U.S.C. 601a) directs

the Administrator of General Services to

‘‘acquire and utilize space in suitable

buildings of historic, architectural, or

cultural significance, unless use of such

space would not prove feasible and

prudent compared with available

alternatives.’’ In the past, some Federal

agencies have successfully promoted the

acquisition and use of space in

‘‘buildings of historic, architectural, and

cultural significance’’ by extending a 10

percent cost preference for these

properties.

4. Action. In accordance with

Executive Order 13006, and subject to

the requirements of section 601 of title

VI of the Rural Development Act of

1972, as amended, (42 U.S.C. 3122), and

Executive Order 12072, when locating

Federal facilities, Federal agencies shall

give first consideration to historic

properties within historic districts. If no

such property is suitable, then Federal

agencies shall consider other developed

or undeveloped sites within historic

districts. Federal agencies shall then

consider historic properties outside of

historic districts, if no suitable site

within a district exists.

All Federal agencies must use

procedures which implement the policy

to extend first consideration to locations

as prescribed in the Executive order.

These implementation procedures

should be consistent with the existing

policy set forth in Executive Order

12072 (Federal Space Management),

which extends first consideration to

central business areas (CBAs), and

should consider applicable

requirements relating to full and open

competition under the Competition in

Contracting Act, 41 U.S.C. 253 et seq.

Federal agencies are encouraged to

consider the Government’s previous

approach extending preference to

historic properties. Where operationally

appropriate and economically prudent,

Federal agencies may extend first

consideration to historic properties

using various methods, including but

not limited to extending a cost

preference (similar to GSAR 570.701–4,

Historic Preference); limiting

competition to historic districts and/or

historic properties; conducting market

surveys and market analyses to identify

historic properties or districts to be

included in the area of consideration;

providing notice of a requirement and

an opportunity to respond to local, state

or regional historic preservation

officials; or a combination of the

foregoing.

Dated: June 28, 1996.

G. Martin Wagner,

Associate Administrator, Office of Policy,

Planning and Evaluation.
