Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Federal Activities Inventory Reform (FAIR) Act of 1998 directs agencies to develop annual inventories of the activities performed by their employees that are not inherently governmental.1 Interested parties, as defined by the act, may challenge agencies' inventories based on "an omission of a particular activity from, or an inclusion of a particular activity on" an inventory, and appeal adverse agencies' decisions.2 In essence, the FAIR Act codified a requirement already set forth in the Office of Management and Budget's (0MB) Circular A-76 for agencies to inventory their commercial activities. The FAIR Act provided for, beginning in 1999, public notice of these inventories' availability; challenges by interested parties over the inclusion or exclusion of activities on inventories; and agency heads' reviews of these inventories. Agencies' responses to the issues interested parties raised in their challenges and appeals, as well as the usefulness of FAIR Act inventory information, will affect the future implementation of this act and the extent to which the inventories might provide information to agencies that they could use to help improve how efficiently they perform their activities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information on the implementation of the Federal Activities Inventory Reform (FAIR) Act of 1998, focusing on: (1) the overall initial implementation of the FAIR Act; (2) the clarity and understandability of five agencies' FAIR Act inventories; (3) the extent to which these agencies exempted commercial activities from competition; and (4) supplemental information that enhanced the understandability of agencies' inventories. GAO noted that: (1) 98 executive agencies developed and published inventories of their commercial activities under the FAIR Act's first year of implementation, identifying about 904,000 full-time equivalent employees performing commercial activities; (2) compared to prior efforts to inventory commercial activities, the initial implementation of the FAIR Act increased the number of agencies identifying and reporting on their commercial activities and increased the amount of information about agencies' commercial activities that is publicly available; (3) however, the clarity and understandability of the five FAIR Act inventories GAO reviewed was limited; (4) Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) June 1999 list of function codes used by agencies to characterize the types of commercial activities they perform was incomplete; (5) because OMB allowed agencies to use an expanded list of function codes for their FAIR Act inventories that was not contained in OMB's June 1999 guidance, it may have been more difficult for interested parties who did not have the expanded list to identify the activities agencies are performing; (6) function codes on both the official and expanded lists are vague, and OMB has not defined them; (7) agency officials said that OMB's function codes were not adequate to clearly categorize the commercial activities that their employees perform; (8) the five agencies exempted a range of from 37 to 99 percent of the commercial activities they identified from consideration for competition; (9) interested parties may challenge the omission of a particular activity from, or the inclusion of a particular activity on, an agency's inventory; (10) however, since the FAIR Act does not require that commercial activities be competed, it does not provide for challenges to agencies' decisions to exempt commercial activities listed on the inventories from competition; (11) some of the supplemental information that the five agencies included enhanced the understandability of the FAIR Act inventories; (12) for example, although the FAIR Act does not require agencies to identify their inherently governmental activities, the General Services Administration's (GSA) inventory listed both its commercial and inherently governmental activities; and (13) including this information provided a fuller perspective about the range of activities that GSA performs.
