SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

On March 23, 2018, the President signed HR 1625, “Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2018,” which provided appropriations through fiscal year 2018. GSA is required by the MOBILE NOW Act (Section 608(d) of Title VI of Division P of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2018 [P. L. 115-141]) to study: (a) How to incentivize State and local governments to provide GSA with real property data for inclusion in the Federal Real Property Profile (FRPP) database, and (b) the feasibility of establishing or operating a database to which State and local governments can voluntarily submit this data. Section 608(d) also directs GSA to consult with State and local governments, or their representatives, to identify the most cost effective options for State and local governments to collect and provide real property data on assets that could support a communications facility installation and make recommendations on ways the Federal Government can assist State and local governments in collecting and providing this data. Further, section 608(d) directs GSA to submit a report to Congress on this study by March 22, 2019. This information is not already widely available and requires the solicitation of feedback from the relevant stakeholders. GSA determined that developing a survey was the most efficient and effective means for studying the items identified in Section 608(d) within this timeframe. This is a one-time data collection and will not require repeated collection.

Although the agency may not respond to each individual comment, GSA may follow-up with respondents to clarify comments. GSA values public feedback and will consider all input that it receives.
