Some activities currently planned for FY 2011 will be re-phased into FY 2012 for operations continuing beyond February 2011 Assumes most major activities will be completed by the end of FY 2012 Due to the change in the manifest, there may still be residual work that remains after FY 2012 and will be implemented using Agency resources Constellation (Cx) transition results in additional T&R costs; SOMD assumes these costs will be covered as a threat to Cx Transition Basis of Plan/Key Assumptions: Orbiters to be safed and ready for transport by the end of FY 2012 All hazardous commodities secured and personal property decontaminated Historic artifacts identified and screened with museums/educational institutions for placement Non-artifact personal property at government facilities along with duplicate records at Centers/ Government Owned Contractor Operated (GOCO) facilities are dispositioned in place as Agency resources allow Personal property is excessed from facilities identified for demolition and vacated leased facilities Records retention policy implemented Current plan requires no waivers or deviations to U.
