Over the years, the agency's estimates of the cost of its deferred maintenance have varied widely--sometimes by billions of dollars. Currently, the agency estimates that its deferred maintenance backlog will cost over $5 billion. In April 2002, GAO reported on the status of efforts to develop better deferred maintenance data. (National Park Service: Status of Efforts to Develop Better Deferred Maintenance Data,GAO-02-568R [Washington, D.C.: Apr. 12, 2002]) This testimony presents the results of GAO's April report and updates the progress the Park Service is making in implementing its new asset management process. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-1177T/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-1177T.htm GAO-03-1177T https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-1177T Testimony GAO-03-1177T; National Park Service: Efforts Underway to Address Its Maintenance Backlog; Facility maintenance Federal property management Inventories Maintenance (upkeep) Maintenance costs Management information systems National parks Performance measures
