6. June 6, 20086 REAL ESTATE DISPOSAL E-mail response of May 22, 2008 from GSA: –“Tom: All of our Regional performance measures are based on the actual award date. I don't understand your comment about Region 7 reporting sales as of the date of deed signature, I'm not sure who they would have reported that to. Besides the eFAS performance measures, GSA is also required to report our performance measures to the GSA Administrator and OMB. To ensure our performance is measured on activities we control we base all of our cycle time measures on award date and report our sales figures on an award date. This is because in some transactions the property is actually deeded by the landholding agency and in those cases GSA does not control the transaction. Consequently, we use the award date for performance measures because that date still falls under our control. Granted the GSA Region 7 POC was correct in their assessment that the sale is not final until the final funds are received. However, I could add you also need to complete the deed and have it officially recorded. I apologize if this has caused some confusion.”
