The purpose of the Proposed Action (Alternative A), which is also the Preferred Alternative, is to locate the NSSC consistent with the recommendations of the Implementation Plan addressing the need for NASA to improve the use of resources and foster greater efficiencies at reduced costs for transactional functions. The Proposed Action would create a functionally and environmentally efficient NSSC to meet the need for a single shared-services facility, consistent with and furthering other goals for the NSSC.

The No Action NSSC (Alternative C) would allow continued administrative reorganization, but not into a consolidated NSSC. E:\FR\FM\24MRN1.SGM 24MRN1
