Our preliminary findings were discussed at the September 23, 1982, hearings on federal civil- ian agencies' aircraft management before your Subcommittee on Legislation and National Security. In addition, the overall results of that review were provided on June 24, 1983, in a report entitled Federal Civilian Agencies Can Better Manage Their Aircraft and Related Services (GAO/PLRD-83-64). In that report, we showed that Interior was achieving certain benefits from its Office of Aircraft Services' (OAS') centralized aircraft management in the areas of management information, contracting effectiveness, flight coordination, safety, and cost savings. We also concluded that the OAS aircraft management program could be a model for other agencies' programs and for a government-wide system. OAS was established to manage all Interior aviation resources. While OAS is doing so in Alaska, the Department has not given it these management responsibilities in the contiguous 48 states. We believe that OAS should own and manage all Interior aircraft, aircraft facilities and equipment, and aviation-related personnel presently managed by other bureaus and offices. This would, at a minimum, make OAS responsible for --determining whether Interior's aircraft should be govern- ment owned, leased, contracted, or chartered; (943500)
