Linking the Construction Industry: Electronic Operation and Maintenance Manuals: Workshop Summary (2000)
Chapter: Front Matter
The Federal Facilities Council (FFC) (formerly the Federal Construction Council) is a continuing activity of the Board on Infrastructure and the Constructed Environment of the National Research Council (NRC). The purpose of the FFC is to promote continuing cooperation among the sponsoring federal agencies and between the agencies and other elements of the building community in order to advance building science and technology, particularly with regard to the design, construction, acquisition, evaluation, and operation of federal facilities. The following FFC-sponsor agencies provided funding for this workshop and proceedings report:
Department of the Air Force, Office of the Civil Engineer
Department of the Air Force, Air National Guard
Department of the Army, Assistant Chief of Staff for Installation Management
Department of Energy
Department of the Interior, Office of Managing Risk and Public Safety
Department of the Navy, Naval Facilities Engineering Command
Department of State, Office of Foreign Buildings Operations
Department of Veterans Affairs, Office of Facilities Management
Food and Drug Administration
General Services Administration, Public Buildings Service
Indian Health Service
National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Facilities Engineering Division
National Institutes of Health, Division of Engineering Services
National Institute of Standards and Technology, Building and Fire Research Laboratory
National Science Foundation
Smithsonian Institution, Office of Facilities Services
U.S. Postal Service
As part of its activities, the FFC periodically publishes reports that have been prepared by committees of government employees. Because these committees are not appointed by the NRC, they do not make recommendations, and their reports are considered FFC publications rather than NRC publications.
