As stewards of a national resource, the
Department of Energy is using the
Facilities Information Management System (FIMS) to assist us in
managing our corporate physical assets. FIMS is the Department's corporate
real property database for real property as required by DOE Order 430.1B Real
Property Asset Management order. The system provides the Department with
an accurate inventory and management tool that assists with planning and
managing all real property assets. The system is relied upon by DOE
Headquarters for making daily management decisions as they relate to
utilization, disposition, condition, mission dependency, and
maintenance. Real property includes land and anything
permanently affixed to it, such as buildings, fences, and building fixtures
(lights, plumbing, heating and air conditioning, etc). Complete and
accurate information on real property holdings is critical to the Department for
managing facilities and reporting to the Federal Real Property Profile (FRPP)
which is managed by the General Services Administration (GSA), Office of
Management and Budget (OMB), Congress, and the taxpayers. The
data elements within FIMS are sponsored by various Headquarters program
offices. As a data element sponsor, the program offices are responsible
for defining the data element, providing guidance, and justifying the need to
collect the data within FIMS. Information is tracked on an individual
asset basis. The data is organized by ownership which includes DOE Owned,
DOE Leased, DOE Ingrant, Contractor Leased, Contractor License, Institutional
Control, Permit, GSA Owned and GSA Leased.
FIMS provides DOE and contractor personnel with online access to DOE facility
information. It is an important asset management and planning tool for DOE
Headquarters and Sites.

Intelligent Sustainment and Renewal of DOE Facilities and Infrastructure
(01/01/05)
The National Research Council of the National Academies has published a report
entitled, "Intelligent Sustainment and
Renewal of Department of Energy Facilities and Infrastructure". Hard
copies of the report have already been distributed to the HQ program offices.
President Bush's fiscal year 2004 budget has put all federal agencies on notice
that the administration will place increased attention on the management of
billions of dollars worth of property, inventories and loans. There will
also be increased emphasis on the need for effective inventory systems with
accurate information. If you wish to read a recent article from Government
Executive Magazine on Asset Management, click

Governing with
Accountability, that may be of interest as well.
