Policy area: Government Operations and Politics

Summary:
Federal Capital Revolving Fund Act of 2021
This bill establishes the Federal Capital Revolving Fund to support the acquisition of facilities for federal agencies.
Specifically, the fund supports facility acquisition projects that cost $250 million or more, including purchase, construction, and lease-purchase options. Agencies must submit requests for funds to specified congressional committees and the General Services Administration, as appropriate; the receipt of funds is also contingent on specific legislative approval and appropriations for repayments. Agencies must make repayments to the fund at least annually for an agreed-upon term, but for no longer than 15 years.

                                 A BILL


 
    To establish a Federal Capital Revolving Fund to assist Federal 
     agencies in purchasing capital assets, and for other purposes.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Federal Capital Revolving Fund Act 
of 2021''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS; PURPOSE.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
            (1) sudden increases in funding for purchases of federally 
        owned capital assets are difficult to fit within funding 
        available under discretionary spending limits;
            (2) failure to recapitalize or replace Federal capital 
        assets on a regular schedule ultimately increases the cost to 
        taxpayers of delivering services;
            (3) in appendix J, entitled ``Principles of Budgeting for 
        Capital Asset Acquisitions'', of Circular A-11, the Office of 
        Management and Budget recommended combining assets in capital 
        acquisition accounts to accommodate spikes in funding capital 
        acquisitions;
            (4) in the document entitled ``Budgeting for Federal 
        Investment'' and dated April 15, 2021, the Congressional Budget 
        Office states that there is, ``a budgetary incentive to opt for 
        short-term leases even if they are more expensive than long-
        term leases or purchases,'' and identifies a Federal Capital 
        Revolving Fund as a potential solution; and
            (5) the document of the Government Accountability Office 
        numbered GAO-14-239 found that budgeting for federally owned 
        capital assets could be improved by creating a Government-wide 
        capital acquisition fund with upfront mandatory funding--
                    (A) to pay for projects estimated to exceed a 
                certain total-cost threshold; and
                    (B) to be repaid by annual discretionary funding 
                provided by agency subcommittee appropriators.
    (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this Act is to improve the means by 
which the Federal Government budgets for expensive, federally owned, 
civilian facilities by--
            (1) establishing a mandatory revolving fund to pay the 
        upfront costs of acquiring those facilities in a manner that 
        ensures that the acquisition costs do not compete with smaller 
        purchases and operating expenses for funding under applicable 
        discretionary spending limits; and
            (2) requiring agencies to use discretionary appropriations 
        to replenish the revolving fund referred to in paragraph (1) 
        over a several-year period as the agencies use the facilities 
        described in that paragraph to meet Federal mission needs.

        appropriations Act making amounts available for a purchase 
        transfer under this section, if the amount made available to 
        the applicable purchasing agency for the first repayment amount 
        relating to the purchase transfer is less than the amount 
        required by section 6(b) for the fiscal year, the amount 
        transferred from the Fund to the purchasing agency shall be 
        equal to the product obtained by multiplying--
                    (A) that first repayment amount; and

                    (B) the total amount, if any, by which the amounts 
                appropriated for purchase transfers during any 
                preceding fiscal years were less than the amount 
                described in subparagraph (A).
            (3) Higher project costs.--If the amount appropriated from 
        the Fund for a purchase transfer under this section is 
        insufficient to pay the full costs of the eligible agency 
        project that is the subject of the purchase transfer, an amount 
        in excess of the appropriated amount may be transferred from 
        the Fund to the applicable purchasing agency only if--
                    (A) the additional transfer is approved in advance 
                by an appropriations Act; and
                    (B) the purchasing agency has--

                        additional amount for the adjustment to the 
                        repayment amount under section 6(b)(2); and
                            (ii) repaid to the Fund that additional 
                        repayment amount.
            (4) Effect of section.--Nothing in this section requires 
        any unaffected agency to receive approval from the 
        Administrator, or to achieve compliance with section 3307 of 
        title 40, United States Code, before acquiring real property 
        pursuant to an existing authority of the unaffected agency for 
        purposes of this Act.
    (g) Excess Purchase Transfer Amounts.--In any fiscal year during 
which the total amount of purchase transfers approved to be 
appropriated from the Fund exceeds an amount equal to the lesser of the 
amount available in the Fund and the annual limitation described in 
subsection (f)(2) for that fiscal year--
            (1) each purchase transfer approved by an appropriations 
        Act for the fiscal year shall be reduced by a uniform 
        percentage, to be calculated by the Administrator in a manner 
        that ensures that the excess is eliminated; and
            (2) the Administrator may not transfer from the Fund an 
        amount equal to more than the reduced purchase transfer amount 
        calculated under paragraph (1).

purchasing agency shall pay to the Administrator from the purchase 
transfer a 1-time administrative fee in an amount equal to not less

        dividing--
                    (A) the amount of the purchase transfer provided to 
                the purchasing agency; by
                    (B) the number of years in the repayment period, as

            (2) Adjustment.--
                    (A) In general.--In any case described in 
                subparagraph (B), after a purchasing agency repays to

                Administrator shall adjust the repayment amount owed by 
                the purchasing agency for each fiscal year thereafter 
                by such uniform amount as the Administrator determines 
                to be necessary to ensure that the sum of all 
                repayments (including any repayments already paid to 
                the Fund) by the purchasing agency is equal to the 
                actual cost of the eligible agency project of the 
                purchasing agency.
                    (B) Description.--A case referred to in

                        the purchase transfer to the purchasing agency;
                            (ii)(I) the actual cost of the eligible 
                        agency project of the purchasing agency is 
                        greater than the purchase transfer to the 
                        purchasing agency; and
                            (II) an additional purchase transfer in an 
                        amount equal to the amount of the difference

                        appropriations Act;
                            (iii) the total amount of repayments by the

                        amount described in paragraph (1); or
                            (iv) the amount of the purchase transfer is
