NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION

[Notice: (23-125)]


Nationwide Programmatic Agreement Regarding the Management of 
NASA Assets

AGENCY: National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

ACTION: Notice of availability (NOA) for a proposed nationwide 
programmatic agreement; request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: NASA is proposing a nationwide programmatic agreement (NPA), 
among NASA, the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) and 
the National Conference of State Historic Preservation Officers 
(NCSHPO) for management of NASA assets. The purpose of the NPA is to 
create a process by which NASA can meet its responsibilities to manage 
its U.S. real property assets under sections 106 and 110 of the 
National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) in a manner that accommodates 
NASA's mission and addresses the unique challenges of historic highly 
technical and scientific facilities (HTSF). The need for a tailored 
process became more essential in 2015, when the Office of Management 
and Budget released the ``National Strategy for the Efficient Use of 
Real Property'' and the companion policy, ``Reduce the Footprint'', 
which requires Federal agencies to dispose of surplus properties, 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. NASA requests comments 
on the proposed agreement.

DATES: Comments should be received by January 24, 2024.

ADDRESSES: The Draft NPA is available for review at https://www.nasa.gov/emd/npa-drafts/. We encourage you to submit comments on 
the NPA via electronic mail to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#6008114d03120d200d01090c4e0e0113014e070f16"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="086079256b7a6548656961642666697b69266f677e">[email protected]</span></a>. Comments may also
