Preface

P.1 PURPOSE

This NPR provides a ready reference to policy and requirements for the management and utilization of NASA Real Property assets. The document is designed to provide uniform and orderly processes for meeting NASA`s strategic and infrastructure Real Property needs against a background of reinvention and fundamental changes to management approach.

As the asset management reengineering proceeds, successive revisions to this document will reflect the most current approach to these fundamental processes. To provide NASA procedures and requirementss during the transition from past management processes, this NPR contains much of the text from existing implementation manuals, form instructions, and other documents arranged into chapters based on the current understanding of the core process of asset management.

The specific instructions on the recordkeeping forms, the data required for their completion and the codes to be used, have been arranged in appendices to the process oriented chapters. This is to allow more convenient reference and updating of individual appendices as details of the subprocesses and activities evolve.

This NPR also introduces reference to automatic data processing systems to assist in the accurate compilation, analysis, and reporting of Real Property and Facility Utilization data. In general, however, NASA`s formal Real Property records will continue to be hard copy documents as required by statutes, regulations, and prudent legal considerations.

P.2 APPLICABILITY

This NPR is applicable to all real estate under NASA ownership or control, including the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and all other contractor-held NASA real property. It is to be implemented by NASA Headquarters, NASA Centers, including Component Facilities, and by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and other NASA contractors to the extent specified in their contracts. Real estate matters involving foreign locations are to be processed by NASA Senior Management officials through the U.S. Department of State. However, the provisions of this NPR do not apply to property leased by NASA within the District of Columbia, since such property is under the cognizance of the General Services Administration.
