To comply with this initiative, certain GSA real property lease documents with private sector landlords will be posted on GSA's public online portal, with specific data elements being redacted to protect privacy, personal, and proprietary information as outlined under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and the Privacy Act. As such, this notice describes typical data elements contained in these lease documents and their exemption status under the FOIA statute.]
