... OMB Circular A-11, Supplement -- Capital Programming Guide The second OMB Circular A-11 section directly influencing the development of federal facility renewal strategies is its Supplement -- Capital Programming Guide. In the Guide, capital assets include land and structures that have an estimated use of more than 2 years, indicating complete agency federal facility portfolios.
From page 171...
... Given the focus of this study on federal facility renewal, agency capital plans, as defined in the Capital Programing Guide, are called real property capital plans in this report. Putting this into context, it is the agency's facility asset management system that guides development of the agency's facility renewal strategy that is implemented through the agency's real property capital plan.

... OMB Circular A-123 establishes enterprise risk management and internal control requirements that agencies must apply through their facility asset management systems to develop and implement federal facility renewal strategies.

The committee recognizes this evolving national strategy as the natural focal point for providing guidance supporting the development, implementation, and coordination of federal facility renewal strategies across all federal agencies. So, in answer to the first question (What is the national strategy for federal facility asset management?
