REPORT BY THE



Comptroller General


OF THE UNITED STATES
     R I L EA SIIII EII



FAA Has Not-Gone Far Enough

With Improvements To Its Planning

And Acquisition Processes



In 1977 the Administrator of the Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) told a con-
gressional subcommittee that FAA was well
along with actions to correct deficiencies in
its planning and acquisition processes.

However, GAO found that the planning direc-
tive FAA issued as part of these actions was
not fully implemented and another directive
on acquisition procedures did not provide
sufficient guidance. This resulted in FAA
having no comprehensive planning process
and a weak acquisition management process
and has made the System Requirements
Group--established as part of the improve-
ments--ineffective.

Without an agencywide comprehensive plan-
ning process and a sound acquisition process,
the validity of FAA's budgetary process be-
comes questionable, including how effectively
it uses resources. This report recommends
ways the Department of Transportation and
FAA can improve these processes.
