Preface

P.1 Purpose

a. This directive supports the policy outlined in NASA Policy Directive (NPD) 1210.2, NASA Logistics Management Operations Compensating Controls Reviews, supports the policy outlined in NASA Policy Directive (NPD) 1210.2, NASA Surveys, Audits, and Reviews Policy. It provides specific guidance regarding the requirements for conducting NASA Headquarters (HQ) Logistics Management Division (LMD) Compensating Controls Reviews (CCRs). These CCRs are internal examinations that are performed by HQ and Center personnel who ensure regulatory and policy compliance, as well as application of standards for NASA Logistics Management Operations (LMO)a. This directive supports the policy outlined in NASA Policy Directive (NPD) 1210.2. It provides the requirements for conducting NASA Headquarters (HQ) Logistics Management Division (LMD) Compensating Controls Reviews (CCRs). These internal examinations are performed by HQ and Center personnel, who ensure regulatory and policy compliance, as well as application of standards for NASA Logistics Management Operations (LMO).

b. Compensating Controls Reviews assess the LMO performance in the areas of LMO consisting of supply, equipment, disposal, storage/warehousing, contract property management, mail management, transportation, and fleet management, as well as compliance with established laws, regulations, policies, and requirements. NASA CCRs are intended to assess a Center's LMO programs by identifying potential strengths and weaknesses and providing specialized technical or management support to ensure that strengths are leveraged and that weaknesses are remedied. Center strengths that the CCR Team identifies as logistics management best practices will be shared for potential Agency-wide implementation.

P.2 Applicability

a. This NPR is applicable to NASA HQ and NASA Centers, including Component Facilities and Technical and Service Support Centers.

b. This NPR applies to all components of LMO including government personal property and transportation managed and used by NASA HQ, NASA Space Centers, Research Centers, Laboratories, and Test Facilities.

c. In this directive, all mandatory actions (i.e., requirements) are denoted by statements containing the term "shall." The terms "may" denotes a discretionary privilege or permission, "can" denotes statements of possibility or capability, "should" denotes a good practice and is recommended, but not required, "will" denotes expected outcome, and "are/is" denotes descriptive material.

d. In this directive, all document citations are assumed to be the latest version unless otherwise noted.

P.3 Authority

a. The National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958, as amended, 51 U.S.C. § 20113(a).

b. NPD 1210.2, NASA Surveys, Audits, and Reviews Policy.

P.4 Applicable Documents and Forms

a. The Stevenson-Wydler Technology Innovation Act of 1980 as amended, 15 U.S.C. 3710 et seq., section 303 of Pub. L. 102-245 (February 14, 1992).

b. NPR 1441.1, NASA's Records Management Program Requirements.

P.5 Measurement/Verification

The LMD CCR process is a formal assessment of how well an LMO function performs its mission and the quality of the logistics organization, staffing, and management controls. The review identifies significant management indicators and benchmarks that highlight potential successes and weaknesses. The CCR program evaluates and monitors the LMO to ensure sufficient checks and balances are in place to ensure adherence to Agency requirements.
