Agencies manage their fleets with help from guidance and policies issued by the General Services Administration (GSA) and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). Numerous audit reports have disclosed that agencies lacked accurate cost data and had acquired aircraft without adequate justification. GAO reviewed (1) the composition and costs of the federal aircraft fleet; (2) the systems and controls agencies use to ensure that they effectively and efficiently acquire and manage their aircraft fleets; and (3) the operations, maintenance, safety standards, and safety records for federal aircraft. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-645/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-645.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-645/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-645.pdf GAO-04-645 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-645 Other Written Product GAO-04-645; Federal Aircraft: Inaccurate Cost Data and Weaknesses in Fleet Management Planning Hamper Cost Effective Operations; Aircraft Cost analysis Cost effectiveness analysis Data collection Federal agencies Internal controls Performance measures Program evaluation Safety regulation Safety standards Data bases Data integrity Reporting requirements Federal procurement Procurement practices GSA Federal Aviation Interactive Reporting System Public Law 103-411 Public Law 105-270 Public Law 108-7
