National Park Service: Status of Efforts to Develop Better Deferred Maintenance Data
Abstract
As GAO, the Department of the Interior's inspector general, and others reported, the National Park Service has struggled to develop an effective maintenance management system that would, among other things, enable the agency to provide an accurate and reliable estimate of the amount of deferred maintenance on its assets. Although the Park Service has spent almost two decades addressing this problem, Park Service officials acknowledge that the service still does not have an accurate inventory of existing assets or a reliable estimate of deferred maintenance costs for these assets. Over the years, estimates of the amount of deferred maintenance throughout the national park system have varied widely sometimes by billions of dollars.
