NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION
[NOTICE: (23-127)]
National Environmental Policy Act; Agency Master Plan
AGENCY: National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
ACTION: Notice of availability of the Agency Master Plan Final
Programmatic Environmental Assessment (PEA) and the resulting Finding
of No Significant Impact (FONSI).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: NASA announces its decision to implement the Agency Master
Plan. NASA's decision is supported by the detailed analysis found in
the Final PEA, as summarized in the agency's FONSI, the availability of
which is located under ADDRESSES.
ADDRESSES: The complete text of the PEA and the FONSI for the Agency
Master Plan are at <a href="https://www.nasa.gov/emd/nepa-public-reviews/">https://www.nasa.gov/emd/nepa-public-reviews/</a>.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Tina Norwood, NASA NEPA Manager,
Environmental Management Division, NASA Headquarters Office of
Strategic Infrastructure 300 E. Street SW, Washington DC 20546, 202-
358-7324 or Email: <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#196d70777877766b6e76767d5977786a78377e766f"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="abdfc2c5cac5c4d9dcc4c4cfebc5cad8ca85ccc4dd">[email protected]</span></a>.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As early as 2011, NASA began integrating and
optimizing operations across centers and mission support facilities
(i.e., technical capability facilities) to reduce costs and revitalize
the capabilities required to enable NASA's portfolio of missions (NASA
2011, 26). In 2015, the Executive Office of the President distributed
Management Procedures Memorandum No. 2015-01, tasking federal agencies
to ``move aggressively to dispose of surplus properties held by the
federal government, make more efficient use of the government's real
property assets, and reduce the total square footage of their domestic
office and warehouse inventory relative to an established baseline.''
This directive set agency planning goals that were disseminated to
centers.
To better achieve its infrastructure reduction targets, NASA
proposes to implement a centralized and standardized Agency Master Plan
administrative process. This Proposed Action will help ensure program
management and planning efforts are aligned across all mission areas
and geographically separate centers and facilities, as well as
implement a consistent and cost-effective set of processes, systems,
and tools for enterprise-wide master planning. The Proposed Action is
supported by NASA's 2018 Strategic Plan, which recommended NASA develop
an Agency Master Plan that identifies agency facility priorities over a
20-year timeframe (NASA 2018a). The implementation of an Agency Master
Plan provides a framework upon which each NASA center is to develop its
own Center Master Plan (CMP) tied to Agency-wide requirements, thereby
allowing the agency to meet its overall infrastructure management
targets and more efficiently (i.e., cost-effectively) achieve its
mission as well as sustainment and infrastructure reduction goals.
Joel Carney,
Assistant Administrator, Office of Strategic Infrastructure.
