GSA assigns digital certificates with special reference numbers and passwords to each authorized user and reviewer. These capabilities give the Federal community, for the first time, significant flexibility in deriving useful information for aviation management decisions, planning, programming, and budgeting. The ICAP Management Data and Systems Subcommittee recommended adding these tools, which include Jane's, the World Aviation Directory, the Aircraft Blue Book, the ICAP Cost Accounting Guide, the Conklin and deDecker Life-Cycle Cost Analyzer, and a set of aviation clip art.

During the beta test, both users and reviewers had opportunities to try out their roles to see if the system operated as advertised. The testers gave the system a good workout and provided many valuable comments and suggestions. They did offer helpful ideas for future enhancements. We sincerely appreciate your valuable contributions, both of expertise and time. We are particularly indebted to the members of the Management Data and Systems Subcommittee.
