Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City killed 168 people and 15 children specifically in its child care center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But a Jan. 30 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oversight.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/oig-reports\/A170119_1.pdf\" target=_blank>audit released by the GSA Inspector General<\/a> found that all 11 of the child care centers it tested had \u201csignificant\u201d security vulnerabilities and did not meet minimum safety standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGSA has the authority and discretion to upgrade GSA-controlled buildings containing child care centers to meet minimum security standards. [Public Buildings Service] officials acknowledged that nothing legally prohibits GSA from implementing security countermeasures,\u201d the report said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to GSA official responses to the audit, part of the reason these security countermeasures haven\u2019t been implemented is that doing so would drain the accounts the agency has available to repair and alter its buildings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the Department of Homeland Security performs facility security assessments for buildings with child care centers, those findings are presented to the Facility Security Committee, which is composed of representatives from the agencies using the building. That committee then determines whether countermeasures are implemented, and it has declined to do so due to a lack of funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">GSA is authorized to make such improvements without FSC approval, but that decision would mean that funding for the changes must come from already cash-strapped accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGSA officials acknowledged that there are no legal prohibitions on GSA using the Federal Buildings Fund \u2014 a revolving fund used to finance the expenses of GSA\u2019s real property management \u2014 to implement security countermeasures,\u201d the report said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGSA officials also stated that large-scale implementation of these countermeasures without FSC approval would affect the long-term solvency of the FBF because PBS would not be able to pass the cost of these measures to the tenant agencies through rental rates.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Draining the FBF is not the only option GSA has to ensure the security of facilities with childcare centers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the report, the GSA administrator may allocate appropriated funding to make security improvements, so long as the amount does not exceed the prospectus threshold, which was set at just over $3 million for construction, alteration and lease projects and $1.5 million for alterations to already-leased buildings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The administrator may also request additional appropriations through the FBF and transfer funds that have not been promised for a specific project to the repairs and alterations account with congressional approval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAccording to the PBS commissioner\u2019s written comments to our draft report, \u2018PBS has a Repair and Alterations backlog of nearly $7 billion, and since [fiscal year] 2011, Congress has underfunded GSA\u2019s Repairs and Alterations accounts by approximately $3.5 billion,\u2019\u201d the report said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The IG recommended that GSA ensure that it maintains child care centers in locations that meet minimum security standards, address the specific vulnerabilities at those centers, and conduct a comprehensive assessment to either identify security risks that can be addressed or move the centers to more secure locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">GSA agreed with the recommendations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Several buildings managed by the General Services Administration failed to meet minimum security standards for facilities with
