Allocation of space (a) PRIORITY.— (1) JUDICIAL BRANCH.—Subject to this sec- tion, the Architect of the Capitol shall make available to the judicial branch of the Federal Government all space in the Thurgood Mar- shall Federal Judiciary Building and other im- provements constructed under this chapter. The space shall be made available on a reim- bursable basis and substantially in accordance with the report referred to in section 3(b)(1) of the Judiciary Office Building Development Act (Public Law 100–480, 102 Stat. 2330). (2) OTHER FEDERAL GOVERNMENTAL ENTI- TIES.—The Architect may make available to federal governmental entities which are not part of the judicial branch and which are not staff of Members of Congress or congressional committees any space in the Building and other improvements that the Chief Justice de- cides is not needed by the judicial branch. The space shall be made available on a reimburs- able basis. (3) OTHER PERSONS.—If any space remains, the Architect may sublease it pursuant to sub- section (e), under the direction of the Commis- sion for the Judiciary Office Building, to any person. (b) SPACE FOR JUDICIAL BRANCH AND OTHER FEDERAL GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES.—Space made available under subsection (a)(1) or (2) is subject to— (1) terms and conditions necessary to carry out the objectives of this chapter; and (2) reimbursement at the rate established under section 6504(b)(2) of this title plus an amount necessary to pay each year for the cost of administering the Building and other improvements (including the cost of oper- ation, maintenance, rehabilitation, security, and structural, mechanical, and domestic care) that is attributable to the space, with the amount to be determined by the Architect and— (A) in the case of the judicial branch, the Director of the Administrative Office of the United States Courts; or (B) in the case of any federal governmental entity not a part of the judicial branch, the entity. (c) SPACE FOR JUDICIAL BRANCH.— (1) ASSIGNMENT OF SPACE WITHIN JUDICIAL BRANCH.—The Director may assign space made available to the judicial branch under sub- section (a)(1) among offices of the judicial branch as the Director considers appropriate. (2) VACATING OCCUPIED SPACE.—When the Chief Justice notifies the Architect that the judicial branch requires additional space in the Building and other improvements, the Ar- chitect shall accommodate those requirements within 90 days after the date of the notifica- tion, except that if the space was made avail- able to the Administrator of General Services, it shall be vacated expeditiously by not later than a date the Chief Justice and the Adminis- trator agree on. (3) UNOCCUPIED SPACE.—The Chief Justice has the right of first refusal to use unoccupied space in the Building to meet the needs of the judicial branch. (d) LEASE BY ARCHITECT.— (1) AUTHORITY TO LEASE.—Subject to ap- proval by the Committees on Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the Sen- ate, the House Office Building Commission, and the Committee on Rules and Administra- tion of the Senate, the Architect may lease and occupy not more than 75,000 square feet of space in the Building. (2) PAYMENTS.—Payments under the lease shall be made on vouchers the Architect ap- proves. Necessary amounts may be appro- priated— (A) to the Architect to carry out this sub- section, including amounts for acquiring and installing furniture and furnishings; and (B) to the Sergeant at Arms of the Senate to plan for, acquire, and install tele- communications equipment and services for the Architect with respect to space leased under this subsection. (e) SUBLEASED SPACE.— (1) RENTAL RATE.—Space subleased by the Architect under subsection (a)(3) is subject to reimbursement at a rate which is comparable to prevailing rental rates for similar facilities in the area but not less than the rate estab- lished under section 6504(b)(2) of this title plus an amount the Architect and the person sub- leasing the space agree is necessary to pay each year for the cost of administering the Building (including the cost of operation, maintenance, rehabilitation, security, and structural, mechanical, and domestic care) that is attributable to the space. (2) LIMITATION.—A sublease under subsection (a)(3) must be compatible with the dignity and functions of the judicial branch offices housed in the Building and must not unduly interfere with the activities and operations of the judi- cial branch agencies housed in the Building. Sections 5104(c) and 5108 of this title do not apply to any space in the Building and other improvements subleased to a non-Government tenant under subsection (a)(3).
