Recommendation Number	Recommendation Status	Significant Recommendation
1	Open	Yes
Develop a process that establishes an agency-level view of all major facilities to enable NSF leadership to make agency-wide divestment decisions.
2	Open	Yes
Develop a process to ensure full life-cycle costs of major facilities, including costs associated with divestment, are developed, deemed reasonable, and included in the Budget Requests to Congress, as required by the NSF Authorization Act, as amended in 2002.
3	Open	Yes
Improve policies, procedures, and guidance to clearly define the last major facility life cycle stage and define how NSF will carry out these transitions. These documents should identify steps for managing the transition, for designating and identifying internal resources to facilitate the process, and for obtaining required reviews and approvals.
