What happened between when the FY 2001 inventory was completed and November 24, 2003?
There weren’t any notifications issued that the FY 2001 inventory was complete. Each fiscal year, RSPA’s Associate Administrators/Office Directors review the functions being performed in their offices and determine if the activities are Commercial or Inherently Governmental. This “coding” has been performed throughout the Government for many years. Each year RSPA developed the Inventory in accordance with the version of OMB Circular A-76 that was in effect at the time. The latest revision to OMB Circular A-76 was published on May 29, 2003. The public availability of DOT’s FY2002 inventory was announced in the Federal Register on 2/6/03 and FY2001 on 1/3/02. The DOT FAIR Act Inventory, of which RSPA is a part, is published each year on the DOT web site. The DOT inventories can be viewed at: http://www.dot.gov/ost/m60/fairact/index.html#inventory1 After OMB review and consultation, an agency is required by OMB Circular A-76 dated May 29, 2003, to make its inventory available to Congress
