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 https://www.nasa.gov/emd/nepa-public-reviews/.

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: [email protected].

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.

Assistant Administrator, Office of Strategic Infrastructure.
