Purpose of This Order.

This order provides guidance on how the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) manages its personal property program. It serves as a high level overview of property management, and implements applicable Federal laws and regulations. Additional detailed directives and information are published in related Process and Procedure Guides.

The objective of this order is to:

a. Establish a system of internal instructions that provide guidance to agency personnel performing property management functions.

b. Provide a clear understanding of the Federal laws that direct the FAA on how to manage personal property, as well as a policy for physical control, accountability, using, and disposing government-owned, leased, and borrowed personal property.

c. Ensure effective and efficient use of Agency property required to carry out the Agency's mission and to minimize the potential for fraud, waste, abuse and mismanagement of government personal property.

This order does not govern how the FAA manages real property, government-furnished property and contractor-acquired property. The FAA's Acquisition Management System (AMS) describes how to manage those assets. Additional information about AMS is located on the FAA Acquisition System Toolset website at http://fast.faa.gov.
