Carper Water Resources Development Act of 2024 (40 U.S.C. 584 note), to take four actions: collaborate with tenants of federally-leased space to better identify concerns among Federal agencies about shared-space arrangements; work to develop criteria that would make it easier to expand the use of space-sharing or collocating; identify how special-use spaces can be used to improve space-sharing or collocating; and establish measurable objectives, developed in consultation with tenants of federally-leased space, to measure how well shared-space arrangements among Federal agencies are working. Not later than 6 months after this Act is enacted, the Administrator would have to brief the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure and the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works on how these requirements are being carried out.
