We did not obtain the Department's written comments on this report; however, we discussed the report contents with the Department and Service officials and considered their views. On May 27, 1975, we briefed your office on the results of our review and, as requested, are sending you this summary. We previously reported on the Service's decision to consolidate its aerial photography operations in Salt Lake City, effective July 1 1975 (B-181844, Dec. 2, 1974). In that report we said that the Service had not adequately demonstrated the practicality and economic feasibility of its decision. We pointed out that some of the information the Service used to justify consolidation was outdated and that other information, which should have been developed and considered, was not available. We pointed out also that Department officials recog- nized the weaknesses in the information developed to sup- port the Service's proposed consolidation. In October 1974 the Department began a study aimed at correcting these weaknesses which was completed on November 13, 1974. The Department was evaluating the results of the study at the time of our December 2, 1974, report. In early 1975, following that evaluation, the Depart- ment agreed with the November 13, 1974, report recommenda- tion that the Service colocate its consolidated aerial photography operations with certain Forest Service activi- ties. The Department determined, however, that until a new facility became available for the colocation, the Serv- ice should consolidate its aerial photography operations in the existing Salt Lake City facility on a double-shift or overtime basis.
