In this section, the words ``and in title III of the Federal
Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 (41 U.S.C. 251 et
seq.)'' are added to provide an accurate literal translation of the
words ``this Act'', meaning the Federal Property and Administrative
Services Act of 1949. See the revision note under section 111 of this
title. The definition of ``Administrator'' is omitted as unnecessary.
The text of 40:472(i) is omitted as unnecessary because of the
definition of ``person'' in 1:1.
In clause (6), the words ``the Northern Mariana Islands, the
Federated States of Micronesia, the Marshall Islands, Palau'' are
substituted for ``the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands'' because
of the termination of the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands. See

This section is added to provide an accurate literal translation of
the words ``this Act'', meaning the Federal Property and Administrative
Services Act of 1949. In the positive law codification of title 40, most
of the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 is
restated as subtitle I of title 40. However, title III of the Act, which
is outside the scope of the positive law codification, remains
classified to the United States Code as 41 U.S.C. 251 et seq. Where the
words ``this Act'' are restated, substituting the words ``this
subtitle'' does not yield an accurate literal translation because ``this
subtitle'' does not include title III of the Act. This section does not
subject any provision of law to title III of the Act if that provision
was not subject to title III prior to the positive law codification of
title 40.

In subsection (a), the word ``paramount'' is omitted as included in
``not subject to any inconsistent provision''.
In subsection (c), the words ``chapter 91 of title 31'' are

Administrative Services Act of 1949, because of section 4(b) of the Act
of September 13, 1982 (Public Law 97-258, 96 Stat. 1067).
In subsection (e), the text of 40:474(d)(8) is omitted because 50
App.:1171(b) was repealed by section 53 of the Act of August 10, 1956
(ch. 1041, 70A Stat. 641). The text of 40:474(d)(19) is omitted as
obsolete.
In subsection (e)(2), the words ``any phase (including, but not
limited to, procurement, storage, transportation, processing, and

``that chapter'' are substituted for ``Armed Services Procurement Act of
1947'' and ``said Act'' in section 602(d)(3) of the Federal Property and
Administrative Services Act of 1949, because of section 49(b) of the Act
of August 10, 1956 (ch. 1041, 70A Stat. 640).
In subsection (e)(4), the words ``Secretary of Defense'' are
substituted for ``National Military Establishment'' in section 602(d)(4)
of the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949, because

In subsection (e)(5), the words ``section 2535 of title 10'' are
substituted for ``the National Industrial Reserve Act of 1948 [50 U.S.C.
451 et seq.]'' because the National Industrial Reserve Act was renamed
``Defense Industrial Reserve Act'' by section 809 of the Department of
Defense Appropriation Authorization Act, 1974 (Public Law 93-155, 87
Stat. 617), and transferred to section 2535 of title 10 by section 4235
of the Defense Conversion, Reinvestment and Transition Assistance Act of
1992, which was included as Division D in the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1993 (Public Law 102-484, title XLII,
106 Stat. 2690).
In subsection (e)(6), the words ``the Munitions Board'' are omitted

disposal of labor supply centers, and labor homes, labor camps, or
facilities'' are omitted because the intended reference is probably to
the Act of July 31, 1947 (ch. 413, 61 Stat. 694), which was repealed by
section 205(a) of the Housing Act of 1950 (ch. 94, 64 Stat. 73).
In subsection (e)(9), the words ``an official or entity under the
Farm Credit Act of 1971 (12 U.S.C. 2001 et seq.)'' are substituted for
``the Secretary of Agriculture, Farm Credit Administration, or any farm
credit board under section 640l(b) of title 12'' because section
5.40(a), formerly 5.26(a), of the Farm Credit Act of 1971 (12:2001
note), repealed 12:640l, and provided that ``[a]ll references in other

et seq.)]''.

Development'' are substituted for ``Department of Housing and Urban
Development'' because of 42:3532. The words ``Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation'' are substituted for ``Resolution Trust Corporation''
because under 12:1441a(m)(1), the Resolution Trust Corporation
terminated on December 31, 1995, and was succeeded by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation.
In subsection (e)(11), the words ``property acquired in connection
with'' are substituted for ``any property acquired or to be acquired for
or in connection with'' to eliminate unnecessary words.
In subsection (e)(12), the words ``the Secretary of Energy with
respect to atomic energy'' are substituted for ``the Atomic Energy
Commission'' because the Atomic Energy Commission was abolished and its
functions were transferred to the Administrator of the Energy Research
and Development Administration by section 104 of the Energy
Reorganization Act of 1974 (42:5814), and the Energy Research and
Development Administration was subsequently terminated and its functions
transferred to the Secretary of Energy by sections 301(a) and 703 of the
Department of Energy Organization Act (42:7151(a), 42:7293).

Act of 1949 because of sections 3(e) and 6(c)(1) of the Department of
Transportation Act (Public Law 89-670, 80 Stat. 932, 938), because of
49:106(f) and (g), and because of 49:ch. 473. The words ``Secretary of
Commerce'' are substituted for ``Chief of the Weather Bureau'' in
section 602(d)(14) of the Federal Property and Administrative Services
Act of 1949 because the office of Chief of the Weather Bureau was
abolished and functions were transferred to the Secretary of Commerce by
Reorganization Plan No. 2 of 1965 (eff. July 13, 1965, 79 Stat. 1318).
The words ``section 47301 of title 49'' are substituted for ``the
International Aviation Facilities Act (62 Stat. 450)'' in section
602(d)(14) of the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of
1949 because of section 6(b) of the Act of July 5, 1994 (Public Law 103-

January 12, 1895 (28 Stat. 601), as amended or any other Act'' in
section 602(d)(18) of the Federal Property and Administrative Services
Act of 1949 because of section 2(b) of the Act of October 22, 1968
(Public Law 90-620, 82 Stat. 1305), the first section of which enacted
Title 44, United States Code.
In subsection (e)(19), the words ``Secretary of State'' are
substituted for ``Director of the International Communication Agency''
[subsequently changed to ``Director of the United States Information
Agency'' because of section 303(b) of the Department of State
Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 1982 and 1983 (Public Law 97-241, 96
Stat. 291)] because of 22:6551.

September 30, 1997, and thereafter'' are omitted as unnecessary.

section 7(b) of the Act of September 6, 1966 (Public Law 89-554, 80
Stat. 631), the first section of which enacted Title 5, United States
Code.

Executive Order No. 12512
Ex. Ord. No. 12512, Apr. 29, 1985, 50 F.R. 18453, which related to
Federal real property management, was revoked by Ex. Ord. No. 13327,
Sec. 8, Feb. 4, 2004, 69 F.R. 5897, set out below.
Ex. Ord. No. 12954. Ensuring the Economical and Efficient Administration
and Completion of Federal Government Contracts
Ex. Ord. No. 12954, Mar. 8, 1995, 60 F.R. 13023, provided:
Efficient economic performance and productivity are directly related
to the existence of cooperative working relationships between employers
and employees. When Federal contractors become involved in prolonged
labor disputes with their employees, the Federal Government's economy,
efficiency, and cost of operations are adversely affected. In order to
operate as effectively as possible, by receiving timely goods and
quality services, the Federal Government must assist the entities with
which it has contractual relations to develop stable relationships with
their employees.
An important aspect of a stable collective bargaining relationship
is the balance between allowing businesses to operate during a strike
and preserving worker rights. This balance is disrupted when permanent
replacement employees are hired. It has been found that strikes
involving permanent replacement workers are longer in duration than
other strikes. In addition, the use of permanent replacements can change
a limited dispute into a broader, more contentious struggle, thereby
exacerbating the problems that initially led to the strike. By
permanently replacing its workers, an employer loses the accumulated
knowledge, experience, skill, and expertise of its incumbent employees.
These circumstances then adversely affect the businesses and entities,
such as the Federal Government, which rely on that employer to provide
high quality and reliable goods or services.
NOW, THEREFORE, to ensure the economical and efficient
administration and completion of Federal Government contracts, and by
the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws
of the United States of America, including 40 U.S.C. 486(a) [now 40
U.S.C. 121(a)] and 3 U.S.C. 301, it is hereby ordered as follows:
Section 1. It is the policy of the executive branch in procuring
goods and services that, to ensure the economical and efficient
administration and completion of Federal Government contracts,
contracting agencies shall not contract with employers that permanently
replace lawfully striking employees. All discretion under this Executive
order shall be exercised consistent with this policy.
Sec. 2. (a) The Secretary of Labor (``Secretary'') may investigate
an organizational unit of a Federal contractor to determine whether the
unit has permanently replaced lawfully striking workers. Such
investigation shall be conducted in accordance with procedures
established by the Secretary.
(b) The Secretary shall receive and may investigate complaints by
employees of any entity covered under section 2(a) of this order where
such complaints allege lawfully striking employees have been permanently
replaced.
(c) The Secretary may hold such hearings, public or private, as he
or she deems advisable, to determine whether an entity covered under
section 2(a) has permanently replaced lawfully striking employees.
Sec. 3. (a) When the Secretary determines that a contractor has
permanently replaced lawfully striking employees, the Secretary may make
a finding that it is appropriate to terminate the contract for
convenience. The Secretary shall transmit that finding to the head of
any department or agency that contracts with the contractor.
(b) The head of the contracting department or agency may object to
the termination for convenience of a contract or contracts of a
contractor determined to have permanently replaced legally striking
employees. If the head of the agency so objects, he or she shall set
forth the reasons for not terminating the contract or contracts in a
response in writing to the Secretary. In such case, the termination for
convenience shall not be issued. The head of the contracting agency or
department shall report to the Secretary those contracts that have been
terminated for convenience under this section.
Sec. 4. (a) When the Secretary determines that a contractor has
permanently replaced lawfully striking employees, the Secretary may
debar the contractor, thereby making the contractor ineligible to
receive government contracts. The Secretary shall notify the
Administrator of the General Services Administration of the debarment,
and the Administrator shall include the contractor on the consolidated
list of debarred contractors. Departments and agencies shall not solicit
offers from, award contracts to, or consent to subcontracts with these
contractors unless the head of the agency or his or her designee
determines, in writing, that there is a compelling reason for such
action, in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation.
(b) The scope of the debarment normally will be limited to those
organizational units of a Federal contractor that the Secretary finds to
have permanently replaced lawfully striking workers.
(c) The period of the debarment may not extend beyond the date when
the labor dispute precipitating the permanent replacement of lawfully
striking workers has been resolved, as determined by the Secretary.
Sec. 5. The Secretary shall publish or cause to be published, in the
Federal Register, the names of contractors that have, in the judgement
of the Secretary, permanently replaced lawfully striking employees and
have been the subject of debarment.
Sec. 6. The Secretary shall be responsible for the administration
and enforcement of this order. The Secretary, after consultation with
the Secretary of Defense, the Administrator of the General Services, the
Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and
the Administrator of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy, may adopt
such rules and regulations and issue such orders as may be deemed
necessary and appropriate to achieve the purposes of this order.
Sec. 7. Each contracting department and agency shall cooperate with
the Secretary and provide such information and assistance as the
Secretary may require in the performance of the Secretary's functions
under this order.
Sec. 8. The Secretary may delegate any function or duty of the
Secretary under this order to any officer in the Department of Labor or
to any other officer in the executive branch of the Government, with the
consent of the head of the department or agency in which that officer
serves.
Sec. 9. The Secretary of Defense, the Administrator of the General
Services, and the Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration, after consultation with the Administrator of the Office
of Federal Procurement Policy, shall take whatever action is appropriate
to implement the provisions of this order and of any related rules,
regulations, or orders of the Secretary issued pursuant to this order.
Sec. 10. This order is not intended, and should not be construed, to
create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at
law by a party against the United States, its agencies, its officers, or
its employees. This order is not intended, however, to preclude judicial
review of final agency decisions in accordance with the Administrative
Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 701 et seq.
Sec. 11. The meaning of the term ``organizational unit of a Federal
contractor'' as used in this order shall be defined in regulations that
shall be issued by the Secretary of Labor, in consultation with affected
agencies. This order shall apply only to contracts in excess of the
Simplified Acquisition Threshold.
Sec. 12. (a) The provisions of section 3 of this order shall only
apply to situations in which contractors have permanently replaced
lawfully striking employees after the effective date of this order.
(b) This order is effective immediately.
William J. Clinton.

Ex. Ord. No. 13327. Federal Real Property Asset Management
Ex. Ord. No. 13327, Feb. 4, 2004, 69 F.R. 5897, provided:
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and
the laws of the United States of America, including section 121(a) of
title 40, United States Code, and in order to promote the efficient and
economical use of Federal real property resources in accordance with
their value as national assets and in the best interests of the Nation,
it is hereby ordered as follows:
Section 1. Policy. It is the policy of the United States to promote
the efficient and economical use of America's real property assets and
to assure management accountability for implementing Federal real
property management reforms. Based on this policy, executive branch

or rights-of-way held by the Federal Government; public domain land
(including lands withdrawn for military purposes) or land reserved or

Budget. In developing this plan, the Senior Real Property Officer shall:

financial management of the agency's real property inventory;
(iii) make life-cycle cost estimations associated with the

the costs and benefits involved with acquiring, repairing, maintaining,
operating, managing, and disposing of Federal real properties at
particular agencies. Specifically, the Council shall consider, as
appropriate, the following performance measures:
(i) life-cycle cost estimations associated with the agency's
prioritized actions;

the achievement of Government-wide property management objectives, as
well as allow for comparing the performance of executive branch agencies
against industry and other public sector agencies.
(c) The Council shall serve as a clearinghouse for executive
agencies for best practices in evaluating actual progress in the
implementation of real property enhancements. The Council shall also
work in conjunction with the President's Management Council to assist
the efforts of the Senior Real Property Officials and the implementation
of agency asset management plans.

60 days of the date of this order. The Council shall hold meetings not

policy oversight and guidance for executive agencies for Federal real
property management; manage selected properties for an agency at the
request of that agency and with the consent of the Administrator;
delegate operational responsibilities to an agency where the
Administrator determines it will promote efficiency and economy, and
where the receiving agency has demonstrated the ability and willingness
to assume such responsibilities; and provide necessary leadership in the
development and maintenance of needed property management information
systems.
(b) The Administrator of General Services shall publish common
performance measures and standards adopted by the Council.
(c) The Administrator of General Services, in consultation with the
Federal Real Property Council, shall establish and maintain a single,
comprehensive, and descriptive database of all real property under the
custody and control of all executive branch agencies, except when
otherwise required for reasons of national security. The Administrator
shall collect from each executive branch agency such descriptive
information, except for classified information, as the Administrator
considers will best describe the nature, use, and extent of the real
property holdings of the Federal Government.
(d) The Administrator of General Services, in consultation with the
Federal Real Property Council, may establish data and other information
technology (IT) standards for use by Federal agencies in developing or
upgrading Federal agency real property information systems in order to
facilitate reporting on a uniform basis. Those agencies with particular
IT standards and systems in place and in use shall be allowed to
continue with such use to the extent that they are compatible with the
standards issued by the Administrator.
Sec. 6. General Provisions. (a) The Director of the Office of
Management and Budget shall review, through the management and budget
review processes, the efforts of departments and agencies in
implementing their asset management plans and achieving the Government-
wide property management policies established pursuant to this order.
(b) The Office of Management and Budget and the General Services
Administration shall, in consultation with the landholding agencies,
develop legislative initiatives that seek to improve Federal real
property management through the adoption of appropriate industry
management techniques and the establishment of managerial accountability
for implementing effective and efficient real property management
practices.

affect the authority of the Director of the Office of Management and
Budget with respect to budget, administrative, or legislative proposals.
(d) Nothing in this order shall be construed to affect real property
for the use of the President, Vice President, or, for protective
purposes, the United States Secret Service.
Sec. 7. Public Lands. In order to ensure that Federally owned lands,
other than the real property covered by this order, are managed in the
most effective and economic manner, the Departments of Agriculture and
the Interior shall take such steps as are appropriate to improve their
management of public lands and National Forest System lands and shall
develop appropriate legislative proposals necessary to facilitate that
result.
Sec. 8. Executive Order 12512 of April 29, 1985, is hereby revoked.
Sec. 9. Judicial Review. This order is intended only to improve the
internal management of the executive branch and is not intended to, and
does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural,
enforceable at law or in equity, against the United States, its
departments, agencies, or other entities, its officers or employees, or
any other person.

within whose jurisdictional limits the person, or persons, doing or
committing such act, or any one of them, resides or shall be found,

and may not be found in the court's judicial district'' are substituted

The words ``Director of the Office of Management and Budget'' are
substituted for ``Director of the Bureau of the Budget'' in section
603(b) of the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949
because the office of Director of the Bureau of the Budget was
redesignated the Director of the Office of Management and Budget by
section 102(b) of Reorganization Plan No. 2 of 1970 (84 Stat. 2085).
