517.34 Reporting Excess Space, Buildings, and Land
[Revise 517.34 to read as follows:]
Facilities Planning will identify and report all excess space in Postal Service-owned and leased buildings and in undeveloped Postal Service-owned and leased sites. In turn, Facilities Planning will notify, through regular channels, Realty Asset Management that excess space exists and the space should be either sold or leased. Facilities’ finance number is credited for the gross proceeds or rental income generated by the respective sale or outlease/sublease for leasing of excess property or space to federal and non-federal tenants.
