 Protestul lui Ghise continua la Cotroceni – alti zeci de oameni cer demisia lui Basescu-Protestatarii anti-Traian Basescu s-au strans, luni, pentru a saptea zi, la Palatul Cotroceni pentru a cere demisia presedintelui, nemultumiti de decizia de invalidarea a referendumului data de Curtea Constitutionala (CCR).Cateva zeci de manifestanti, in frunte cu senatorulPNL Ioan Ghise, s-au adunat la Palatul Cotroceni, scandand „Poporul a decis/ Basescu e demis”, arata Romania TV.Ioan Ghise s-a urcat pe soclul statuii din fata Palatului Cotroceni, pentru a citi textul pe care l-a depus la Birourile Permanente ale Parlamentului.Textul mentionat este de fapt o cerere, ca cele doua Camere ale Parlamentului sa ia in discutie proiectele de hotarare pe care le-a depus in Plenul Parlamentului, in timpul citirii deciziei CCR privind invalidarea referendumului pentru demiterea lui Traian Basescu.Senatorul PNL Ioan Ghise a spus, de la tribuna Parlamentului, in cadrul sedintei plenului reunit al celor doua Camere, ca hotararile Curtii Constitutionale (CCR) nu sunt executorii, ci doar de constatare.
 Ioan Ghise (PNL) acuza CCR de abuz de drept. Plenul nu amana sedinta
 Parlamentarul a aratat ca CCR, prin invalidarea referendumului din 29 iulie, a comis un abuz de drept prin stabilirea obligativitatii si caracterului definitiv al hotararii sale, din moment ce doar deciziile CCR au caracter executoriu, nu si hotararile.”Cele doua proiecte de hotarare depuse azi dimineata se refera la aspectul ca CCR prin hotararea sa a comis abuz de drept in sensul ca ea stabileste ca este obligatorie si definitiva hotararea ei. Conform Constitutiei, doar deciziile CCR sunt executorii, hotararile nu sunt”, a aratat Ghise.Acesta a adaugat ca judecatorii CCR trebuia sa prezinte, in fata parlamentarilor, un raport privind organizarea si desfasurarea referendumului, avand aceasta obligatie in mod legal.
 Ioan Ghise, senatorul sendvis
 Ioan Ghise, a defilat prin fata Palatului Cotroceni, cu doua coli din carton pe care scria cu un marker negru „Poporul a decis, Basescu e demis!” si „Poporul roman este suveran”.
 Senatorul Ioan Ghise, om-sendvis in fata Cotrocenilor
 Ghise a promis ca, pe perioada vacantei parlamentare, va face acest lucru zilnic, timp de o ora.
 „Suntem in vacanta parlamentara, este un gest simbolic. O sa ma plimb in fiecare zi pe la Gradina Botanica si prin fata Palatului Cotroceni, atata timp cat vremea va fi buna, impreuna cu alti cetateni nemultumiti”, le-a spus Ghise jurnalistilor care l-au chestionat in legatura cu gestul sau inedit. El a reluat argumentatia privind propunerile sale prezentate luni in plenul Parlamentului referitoare la necesitatea constatarii demiterii presedintelui Traian Basescu in urma referendumului din 29 iulie.S.R.
 Un roman, la conducerea Uzinei Mecanice si Sasiuri Dacia-20,02-
 Incepand cu luna septembrie, Uzina Mecanica si Sasiuri Dacia (UMCD) are un nou director.Cornel Olendraru, in varsta de 42 de ani, il va inlocui pe Jacques Eudeline, care se va pensiona. El a detinut aceasta functie din 2008 pana in prezent, potrivit unui comunicat al companiei, remis Ziare.com.Olendraru este al patrulea manager roman numit in cadrul Grupului Renault in Romania, in ultimii trei ani, dupa Sorin Buse la Renault Technologie Roumanie, Aurelia Leoveanu la Renault Credit International si Anica Muntean la Centrul Tehnic Titu. Noul director apreciaza numirea sa in functie ca pe o provocare profesionala. „Este inceputul unei mari provocari profesionale. In primul rand, pentru ca acest nou post implica gestiunea celei mai complexe uzine mecanice din Grupul Renault in lume, care inglobeaza foarte multe tehnologii de fabricatie (...). Apoi, mai important, deoarece presupune conducerea unei echipe mari si diverse, cu rezultate, exigenta in ceea ce priveste calitatea produselor care pleaca din uzina, o echipa pe care o respect, care m-a primit bine si cu care lucrez minunat de mai bine de doi ani”, a declarat acesta. Cornel Olendraru s-a nascut in anul 1969 la Piata Neamt si a absolvit Facultatea de Aeronave din cadrul Universitatii Politehnica Bucuresti. Detine un master si un doctorat in mecanica, obtinute la Scoala Politehnica Palaiseau din Franta. In 1999 si-a inceput activitatea ca inginer la Honeywell, lucrand in fabricile din Franta, Marea Britanie si Italia, iar intre 2001 si 2003 a fost responsabil de coordonarea capacitatii de productie si de performanta uzinelor din Europa. Din 2003 a revenit in Romania, la Honeywell Garret, unde a fost, pe rand, director de productie, director logistica si director al uzinei. In 2010, Olendraru a preluat conducerea departamentului de fabricatie din cadrul UMCD. Intinsa pe o suprafata de 16 hectare, UMCD este cea de-a doua mare uzina situata pe platforma industriala de la Mioveni si prima uzina din cadrul Grupului Renault in lume, din punct de vedere al diversitatii proceselor. Uzina are 3.800 de angajati, dintre care 27% femei. In cele sapte departamente de fabricatie ale uzinei sunt produse piesele brute din aluminiu, se uzineaza si se asambleaza motoarele si cutiile de viteze, se monteaza puntile fata si spate, se preseaza si se sudeaza osiile si cadrele grupului moto propulsor pentru vehiculele din gama Dacia, Renault si Nissan, asamblate la Mioveni si in alte uzine din lume.

 Irlanda a ridicat restrictiile de munca pentru romani – Ce joburi poti gasi in aceasta tara
 Irlanda a ridicat restrictiile pe piata muncii pentru romani, incepand cu luna iulie, astfel ca angajatorii din aceasta tara au inceput recrutarile.Potrivit Tjobs.ro, oferta este destul de variata, iar salariile incep de la 900 de lire.De exemplu, un ospatar la un restaurant de lux din Dublin castiga 1.000 de lire, in timp ce o asistenta medicala poate obtine intre 1.800 si 2.200 de lire.De asemenea, se mai cauta macelari romani, care vor fi remunerati cu cel putin 1.300 de lire, precum si pizzari (900-1.000 lire).Cele mai multe oferte sunt in industria textila. O firma din acest domeniu doreste sa angajeze un manager de productie tricotaje, confectioneri tricotaje si tehnicieni design tricotaje.Angajatorul ofera, pe langa salariul de baza care se negociaza la interviu, concediu platit, ore suplimentare platite si bonusuri.Toti romanii care doresc sa aplice pentru aceste pozitii trebuie sa aiba cunostinte foarte bune de limba engleza si, intrucat contractele sunt pe perioada nedeterminata, sa fie dispuse sa ramana in Irlanda o perioada mai lunga de timp.
 Romania, pe locul I in Europa la decese prin cancer de col uterin
 Romania este pe locul I in Europa la decese princancer de col uterin, insa, chiar daca acesta ar putea fi prevenit prin vaccinare, putine femei se imunizeaza, a declarat prof dr. Necdet Uskent, de la Anadolu Medical Center din Istanbul, unde sunt tratati anual 1.500 de romani.„Este paradoxal: sa avem solutii pentru prevenirea maladiei si sa nu fie folosite. Cancerul de col uterin este unul dintre cele mai grele tipuri, daca se raspandeste. Autoritatile trebuie sa promoveze mai mult vaccinarea”, a mai spus medicul turc, citat de Mediafax.Potrivit medicului, tratamentul bolilor oncologice necesita o abordare multidisciplinara, la Anadolu tumorile fiind evaluate de un consiliu format din patologi, radiologi, specialisti in medicinanucleara, oncologi medicali, oncologi specializati in radioterapie si chirurgi.Necdet Uskent a mai spus ca, in urma cu sapte-opt ani, tratamentul se dadea „pe boala”. S-a constatat apoi ca fiecare boala are particularitatile ei si difera de la un pacient la altul, esentialul, in cazul fiecarei boli, fiind acela de a cunoaste si de a rezolva problema la nivel molecular.Uskent a mai aratat ca pacientul a carui boala are unele mutatii raspunde mai bine la tratamentul cu inhibitori decat la chimioterapie, indicand in acest sens un procentaj de77%. Totusi, daca pacientii nu au aceste mutatii, raspunsul la tratament scade la 7%. Inhibitorii se administreaza pe acea anomalie celulara.Cancerul afecteaza, din pacate, si copiii, insa, daca tratamentul este timpuriu si eficient, se poate obtine o rata de supravietuire de pana la 80%, a declarat alt specialist din Turcia, prof. dr. Alp Ozkan, medic de oncologie pediatrica la Anadolu Medical Center.Tumorile cerebrale, spun specialistii, pot fi identificate la copiii sub un an, intrucat capul creste foarte repede. Pe de alta parte, orice suferinta oncologica la copil debuteaza ca o simpla boala, cu simptome ca febra, semnul unei banale raceli, dar si al unei leucemii. La leucemie, apar si sangerari nazale si dureri osoase si maresc nodulii.Numarul pacientilor straini de la Anadolu a crescut de la 3.400 in 2010 la 4.500 anul trecut. In iulie 2011, centrul a fost reacreditat de Societatea Europeana de Oncologie Medicala. Din 2002, Anadolu Medical Center este afiliat al Johns Hopkins Medicine din SUA, una dintre cele mai prestigioase institutii medicale ale lumii.
 Seful Corpului de Control din Ministerul Economiei, retinut pentru abuz in serviciu
 Seful Corpului de Control al Ministerului Economiei, Dumitru Parvulescu, a fost retinut pentru 24 de ore, luni, de procurorii gorjeni, pentru acte de cesiune ilegale.Parvulescu este acuzat de abuz in serviciu, aducand statului roman un prejudiciu de peste 1 milion de euro, arata Romania TV.Parvulescu a fost audiat luni dupa-amiaza peste patru ore la Parchetul de pe langa judecatoria Targu-Jiu.Procurorii sustin ca abuzul in serviciu de care este acuzat oficialul consta in incheierea unui contract de cesiune a creantelor catre un om de afaceri din Gorj, Doru Serban, privind unele lucrari de efectuate la o scoala din comuna Pestisani.In acelasi dosar, primarul comunei a fost arestat in urma cu doua luni.Citeste mai mult pe RTV.NET: http://www.rtv.net/un-sef-din-ministerul-economiei-retinut-pentru-abuz-in-serviciu_42828.html#ixzz25QEhzQlFDumitru Parvulescu, fost sef al Directiei Contribuabililor Mici si Mijlocii, a fost numit in fruntea Corpului de Control al Ministerului Economiei in mai 2012.Liderul PNL Gorj, Dian Popescu, a spus atunci, ca Parvulescu a obtinut functia respectiva datorita gradului de profesionalism de care a dat dovada pe parcursul carierei sale.”Dumitru Parvulescu, a plecat la Ministerul Economiei ca un profesionist, iar eu mi-am dat acceptul. Este un profesionist in adevaratul sens al cuvantului”, a spus Popescu, potrivit Impact Gorj.S.R.
 Tragi-comedia Orient Express, in regia Cailor Ferate Romane -18,03-
 Suntem in anul Caragiale, sintagma prea des folosita, atat de des incat a devenit un fel de cliseu al presei. Totusi, in ciuda acestui fapt, exemplul CFR din ziua sosirii Orient Express-ului in Gara de Nord poate fi considerat o piesa tragi-comica care se integreaza perfect in anul Caragiale.Ajungand in Gara de Nord, la ora 14:00, cu 20 de minute inainte de sosirea trenului Orient Express, am intampinat o bariera de politisti, care nu lasa decat presa pe peronul unde trebuia sa traga garnitura internationala.Am scos legitimatia si am trecut mai departe, ajungand pe peron. Pe moment nu am inteles de ce atata forta de ordine, insa in momentul ajungerii trenului in gara am priceput, auzind o conversatie de peste gardul de beton al garii, pe Calea Grivitei.
 Asta e ma, hai sa mergem
 Asteptand pe peron in timp ce locomotiva trenului se vedea de dupa colt, un grup de sa-i numim cetateni in genul celora care-si fac veacul pe la Gara de Nord se opreste pe Calea Grivitei si discuta.”Asta e ma, aici vine”, spune unul dintre cetateni”Pai hai sa mergem si noi”, raspunde al doilea.Dupa ce am asistat la aceasta discutie, am blagoslovit politistii care nu permiteau accesul oricui pe peron.
 Orient Express-ul, in Romania
 Orient Express-ul ajunge in Gara de Nord din Bucuresti, avand totusi farmecul ruinat de o locomotiva romaneasca, modernizata in 2011 la Craiova.
 Romania ar putea primi maximum 47 de miliarde euro de la UE, intre 2014 – 2020
 Uniunea Europeana ar putea aloca Romaniei o suma cuprinsa intre 40 si 47 de miliarde de euro, in perioada 2014 – 2020, potrivit secretarului de stat din Ministerul Afacerilor Europene Razvan Cotovelea. Potrivit spuselor sale, Romania s-ar putea sa nu fie dezavantajata in privinta alocarilor bugetare, conform unei reuniuni despre fondurilenerambursabile, desfasurata saptamana trecuta, relateaza Mediafax. Astfel, cele 15 state participante la reuniune au ajuns la un numitor comun. Cotovelea a precizat ca, la sfarsitul lunii noiembrie, va avea loc Consiliul European, unde se va negocia forma finala a bugetului Uniunii Europene. Tot la acea data, vom afla si care sunt fondurile nerambursabile acordate Romaniei.
 Lumea mai are uraniu pentru 100 de ani, in Romania resursele sunt aproape epuizate
 Chiar daca pare un vis tot mai indepartat, constructia reactoarelor 3 si 4 de la Cernavoda are cel putin un argument economic favorabil. Resursele mondiale si productia de uraniu sunt in crestere, iar specialistii apreciaza ca, in ciuda accidentului de la Fukushima, capacitatea de generare de energie electrica nucleara va creste de la 375 GWe net (la sfarsitul anului 2010) la 540 GWe net sau chiar 746 GWe net, in functie de cerere, pentru anul 2035. Ce loc va ocupa Romania in aceasta ecuatie nu se stie inca, cu toate ca strategia energetica pune un accent foarte mare pe energia nucleara, relateazaEnergy Center.Un lucru este cert in momentul de fata. Rezervele de uraniu ale Romaniei, candva cele mai mari din Europa, pot asigura, in cel mai bun caz, functionarea reactoarelor 1 si 2 (deja in activitate), dar nu mai pot satisface deschiderea unor noi reactoare. Aparent, nu pare a fi o piedica pentru energetica nucleara romaneasca, atata vreme cat la nivel mondial nu se pune inca problema unei penurii de uraniu. Guvernul roman a inceput, de altfel, discutiile cu cel mai mare producator mondial de uraniu-Kazahstan, in vederea unui import de uraniu necesar reactoarelor 3 si 4.Conform buletinului Foratom, resursele de uraniu si productia sunt in crestere la nivel mondial, in paralel cu intensificarea masurilor de crestere a securitatii in aprovizionarea pe termen lung. Acest lucru este confirmat si de catre Agentia pentru Energie Nucleara si Agentia Internationala pentru Energie Atomica (AIEA).Cititi mai mult despre Lumea mai are uraniu pentru inca 100 de ani, in Romania resursele sunt aproape epuizate pe Energy Center.

 (1) Uredba Vijeća (EU) br. 1417/2013 od 17. prosinca 2013. o utvrđivanju obrasca za propusnicu koju izdaje Europska unija (SL L 353, 28.12.2013., str. 26.).
 ZAJEDNIČKA IZJAVA U POGLEDU ISLANDA, NORVEŠKE, ŠVICARSKE I LIHTENŠTAJNA
 Ugovorne stranke primaju na znanje bliski odnos između Europske unije i Norveške, Islanda, Švicarske i Lihtenštajna, posebno na temelju sporazumâ od 18. svibnja 1999. i 26. listopada 2004. o pridruživanju navedenih zemalja provedbi, primjeni i razvoju schengenske pravne stečevine.
 U takvim je okolnostima poželjno da tijela Norveške, Islanda, Švicarske i Lihtenštajna, s jedne strane, i Kine, s druge strane, bez odgode sklope bilateralne sporazume o izuzeću od obveze posjedovanja vize za kratkotrajni boravak za nositelje diplomatskih putovnica pod sličnim uvjetima kao u ovom Sporazumu.
 ZAJEDNIČKA IZJAVA O TUMAČENJU RAZDOBLJA OD 90 DANAU BILO KOJEM RAZDOBLJU OD 180 DANA KAKO JE NAVEDENO U ČLANKU 4. OVOG SPORAZUMA
 Ugovorne stranke suglasne su da razdoblje od najviše 90 dana u bilo kojem razdoblju od 180 dana, kako je predviđeno člankom 4. ovog Sporazuma, znači neprekidni posjet ili nekoliko uzastopnih posjeta čije ukupno trajanje ne premašuje 90 dana u bilo kojem razdoblju od 180 dana.
 Pojam „bilo koji” podrazumijeva primjenu pomičnog referentnog razdoblja od 180 dana, promatrajući unatrag u odnosu na svaki dan boravka prethodno razdoblje od 180 dana, kako bi se provjerilo poštuje li se i dalje zahtjev boravka od najviše 90 dana u bilo kojem razdoblju od 180 dana. Među ostalim, to znači da se u slučaju odsutnosti u neprekinutom razdoblju od 90 dana dozvoljava novi boravak u trajanju do 90 dana.
 ZAJEDNIČKA IZJAVA O OSTALIM PODRUČJIMA SURADNJE U OKVIRU DIJALOGA EU-a I KINE O MOBILNOSTI I MIGRACIJI
 Ugovorne stranke podsjećaju da je ovaj Sporazum jedan od rezultata plana pregovora koji je dogovoren u zapisniku drugog kruga dijaloga EU-a i Kine o mobilnosti i migraciji te koji su podržali politički čelnici u zajedničkoj izjavi sa 17. sastanku na vrhu EU-a i Kine. Taj plan u svojoj prvoj fazi uključuje pregovore i potpisivanje sporazuma o uzajamnom izuzeću od obveze posjedovanja vize za nositelje diplomatskih putovnica, otvaranje centara za podnošenje zahtjeva za vize u kineskim gradovima bez konzularne prisutnosti koji su zajednički odabrani te pokretanje praktične suradnje u borbi protiv nezakonite migracije, dok u drugoj fazi uključuje pregovore o sporazumima o pojednostavnjenju viznog režima i suradnji u borbi protiv nezakonite migracije.
 Ugovorne stranke ponovno naglašavaju svoju čvrstu namjeru da poštuju obveze preuzete u okviru plana te zajedničko shvaćanje da su te obveze međuovisne i čine dio nedjeljivog paketa.

 Prethodna pitanja
 1.
 Treba li izraz „obala ili povezani interesi” iz članka 220. stavka 6. Konvencije o pravu mora odnosno izraz „obala ili s tim povezani interesi” iz članka 7. stavka 2. Direktive 2005/35/EZ (1) tumačiti u vezi s definicijom izraza „interesi u vezi s njima” iz članka II. točke 4. Međunarodne konvencije o intervenciji na otvorenom moru u slučaju nezgode koja uzrokuje ili bi mogla uzrokovati onečišćenje naftom?
 2.
 Prema definiciji iz članka II. točke 4. podtočke (c) Konvencije iz 1969. navedene u prvom prethodnom pitanju, izraz „interesi u vezi s njima” među ostalim znači blagostanje područja o kojemu je riječ, uključujući očuvanje morskoga biološkog blaga, faune i flore. Primjenjuje li se ta odredba i na očuvanje biološkog blaga, poput faune i flore u isključivom gospodarskom pojasu ili se ona odnosi samo na očuvanje interesa obalnog područja?
 3.
 U slučaju negativnog odgovora na prvo pitanje: Što znači izraz „obala ili povezani interesi” iz članka 220. stavka 6. Konvencije o pravu mora odnosno izraz „obala ili s tim povezani interesi” iz članka 7. stavka 2. Direktive 2005/35/EZ?
 4.
 Što znači izraz „bogatstva njezinog teritorijalnog mora ili isključivog gospodarskog pojasa” u smislu članka 220. stavka 6. Konvencije o pravu mora odnosno izraz „resursi [teritorijalnog mora ili isključivog gospodarskog pojasa]” te države iz članka 7. stavka 2. Direktive 2005/35/EZ? Odnose li se biološka blaga ili živa bogatstva samo na vrste koje se mogu loviti ili također i na vrste koje su s njima udružene ili o njima ovise u smislu članka 61. stavka 4. Konvencije o pravu mora, poput biljnih i životinjskih vrsta koje im služe kao hrana?
 5.
 Kako treba tumačiti izraz „prijeti da će prouzročiti” iz članka 220. stavka 6. Konvencije o pravu mora odnosno izraz „uzrokovao [...] opasnost” iz članka 7. stavka 2. Direktive 2005/35/EZ? Treba li prijetnju prouzročenja odrediti na temelju pojma apstraktne ili konkretne opasnosti ili pak na neki drugi način?
 6.
 Treba li prilikom ocjenjivanja pretpostavki za nadležnost obalne države, predviđenih člankom 220. stavkom 6. Konvencije o pravu mora i člankom 7. stavkom 2. Direktive 2005/35/EZ, smatrati da je prouzročena veća šteta ili opasnost takve štete teža posljedica od prouzročenja ili prijetnje prouzročenja znatnog onečišćenja morskog okoliša u smislu članka 220. stavka 5.? Kako treba definirati znatno onečišćenje morskog okoliša i na koji način ga treba uzeti u obzir prilikom ocjenjivanja prouzročene veće štete ili opasnosti takve štete?
 7.
 Koje okolnosti treba uzeti u obzir prilikom ocjenjivanja težine prouzročene štete ili opasnosti takve štete? Treba li prilikom ocjenjivanja uzeti u obzir, primjerice, trajanje i opseg geografskog područja pogođenog štetnim posljedicama koje se javljaju u obliku šteta? U slučaju pozitivnog odgovora: Kako treba ocijeniti trajanje i opseg šteta?
 8.
 Direktiva 2005/35/EZ sadržava minimalna pravila i ne sprečava države članice u poduzimanju strožih mjera protiv onečišćenja s brodova u skladu s međunarodnim pravom (članak [1. stavak] 2.) Odnosi li se mogućnost primjene strožih odredbi i na članak 7. stavak 2. Direktive kojim je uređena nadležnost obalne države za poduzimanje mjera protiv broda u tranzitu?
 9.
 Može li se prilikom tumačenja pretpostavki za nadležnost obalne države, određenih člankom 220. stavkom 6. Konvencije o pravu mora i člankom 7. stavkom 2. Direktive, dati značaj posebnim geografskim i ekološkim uvjetima, poput ranjivosti područja Baltičkog mora?
 10.
 Podrazumijeva li izraz „jasan i stvaran dokaz” u smislu članka 220. stavka 6. Konvencije o pravu mora i izraz „jasan, objektivan dokaz” iz članka 7. stavka 2. Direktive 2005/35/EZ, ne samo dokaz o tome da je brod počinio kršenja na koja se te odredbe odnose, nego i dokaz o posljedicama ispuštanja? Kakav dokaz se zahtijeva u pogledu postojanja opasnosti nastanka velike štete obali ili s tim povezanim interesima ili resursima teritorijalnog mora ili isključivog gospodarskog pojasa, poput populacije ptica i riba odnosno morskog okoliša tog područja? Znači li zahtijevanje jasnog, objektivnog dokaza to da se, primjerice, ocjenjivanje štetnih posljedica ispuštene nafte na morski okoliš uvijek mora temeljiti na konkretnim istraživanjima i studijama učinaka ispuštanja nafte koje se dogodilo?

For this audit, we reviewed the planning, funding,\ncontracting, and initial project execution of Recovery Act projects at Peterson Air Force\nBase (AFB), to determine whether the efforts of the Air Force complied with Recovery\nAct requirements, and OMB guidance, the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), and\nDOD implementing guidance as these relate to Recovery Act requirements. The audit\nalso included analysis of support provided by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers\xe2\x80\x93Omaha\nDistrict. See Appendix A for a discussion of our scope and methodology.\n\nRecovery Act Background\nThe President signed the Recovery Act into law on February 17, 2009. It is an\nunprecedented effort to jump-start the economy and create or save jobs.\n\n The purposes of this Act include the following:\n (1) To preserve and create jobs and promote economic recovery.\n (2) To assist those most impacted by the recession.\n (3) To provide investments needed to increase economic efficiency by\n spurring technological advances in science and health.\n (4) To invest in transportation, environmental protection, and other\n infrastructure that will provide long-term economic benefits.\n (5) To stabilize State and local government budgets, in order to minimize\n and avoid reductions in essential services and counterproductive state\n and local tax increases.\n . . . . . . .\n\n . . . the heads of Federal departments and agencies shall manage and expend the\n funds made available in this Act so as to achieve the purposes specified . . .\n including commencing expenditures and activities as quickly as possible\n consistent with prudent management.\n\nRecovery Act Requirements\nThe Recovery Act and implementing OMB guidance require projects to be monitored and\nreviewed. We grouped these requirements in the following four phases: (1) planning,\n(2) funding, (3) execution, and (4) tracking and reporting. The Recovery Act requires\nthat projects be properly planned to ensure the appropriate use of funds. Review of the\nfunding phase is to ensure the funds were distributed in a prompt, fair, and reasonable\nmanner. Review of the project execution phase is to ensure that contracts awarded with\nRecovery Act funds were transparent, competed, and contained specific FAR clauses;\nthat Recovery Act funds were used for authorized purposes; and that instances of fraud,\nwaste, and abuse were mitigated. Review of the execution phase also ensures that\n\n 1\n\x0cprogram goals were achieved, including specific program outcomes and improved results\non broader economic indicators; that projects funded avoided unnecessary delays and\ncost overruns; and that contractors or recipients of funds reported results. Review of the\ntracking and reporting phase ensures that the recipients\xe2\x80\x99 use of funds was transparent to\nthe public and that benefits of the funds were clearly, accurately, and timely reported.\n\nRecovery Act Contracting Requirements\nThe Recovery Act establishes transparency and accountability requirements. Federal\nAcquisition Circular 2005-32, March 31, 2009, provides policies and procedures for the\nGovernment-wide implementation of the Recovery Act and guidance on special contract\nprovisions. Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-32 amended the FAR and provided\ninterim rules that made FAR solicitation provisions and contract clauses immediately\navailable for inclusion in contracts for Recovery Act work.\n\nThe specific FAR Recovery Act requirements were for:\n\n \xe2\x80\xa2 buying American construction material,\n \xe2\x80\xa2 protecting contractor whistleblowers,\n \xe2\x80\xa2 publicizing contract actions,\n \xe2\x80\xa2 reporting, and\n \xe2\x80\xa2 giving the Government Accountability Office and agency Inspectors General\n access to contracting records.\n\nFederal Government organizations meet requirements for Recovery Act contract actions\nby posting information on the Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) and Federal\nProcurement Data System (FPDS) Web sites. FAR Subpart 5.7, \xe2\x80\x9cPublicizing\nRequirements Under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009,\xe2\x80\x9d directs\ncontracting officers to use the Government-wide FBO Web site\n(http://www.fedbizopps.gov) to:\n\n \xe2\x80\xa2 identify the actions as funded by the Recovery Act,\n \xe2\x80\xa2 post pre-award notices for orders exceeding $25,000,\n \xe2\x80\xa2 describe supplies in a clear narrative to the general public, and\n \xe2\x80\xa2 provide the rationale for awarding any contracting actions that were not both\n fixed-price and competitive.\n\nFBO is the Federal Government\xe2\x80\x99s central source of Federal procurement opportunities.\nFBO is a Web-based portal that allows agency officials to post Federal procurement\nopportunities and contractors to search and review those opportunities. Agencies also\npost contract award notices on FBO. In addition, to provide transparency, FBO has a\nseparate section identifying Recovery Act opportunities and awards.\n\nFPDS is the Federal Government\xe2\x80\x99s central source of procurement information.\nContracting officers enter information, to include the Treasury Account Symbol, in the\nFPDS for all Recovery Act contract actions. The Treasury Account Symbol enables\n\n\n 2\n\x0cFPDS to provide transparency by generating and posting a report containing all Recovery\nAct contract actions.\n\nOMB Recovery Act Guidance\nCriteria for planning and implementing the Recovery Act continue to change as OMB\nissues additional guidance, and DOD and the Components issue their implementation\nguidance. OMB has issued ten memoranda and one bulletin to address the\nimplementation of the Recovery Act. See Appendix B for Recovery Act criteria and\nguidance.\n\nDOD Recovery Act Program Plans\nUnder the Recovery Act, Congress appropriated approximately $12 billion to DOD for\nthe following programs: Energy Conservation Investment; Facilities Sustainment,\nRestoration, and Modernization (FSRM); Homeowners Assistance; Military Construction\n(MILCON); Near Term Energy-Efficient Technologies; and U.S. Army Corps of\nEngineers (USACE) Civil Works.\n\nThe values of the six Recovery Act programs are shown in the following table.\n DOD Agency-Wide and Program-Specific Recovery Act Programs\n Program Amount\n (in millions)\n Energy Conservation Investment $120\n Facilities Sustainment, Restoration, and Modernization 4,260\n Homeowners Assistance 555\n Military Construction 2,185\n Near Term Energy-Efficient Technologies 300\n U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Civil Works 4,600\n Total $12,020\n\nThe Recovery Act divides the approximately $12 billion among 32 DOD and USACE\nline items of appropriations.\n\nAir Force Space Command Mission\nAir Force Space Command, created September 1, 1982, is an Air Force major command\nwith headquarters at Peterson AFB, Colorado. Air Force Space Command provides\nmilitary focused space and cyberspace capabilities with a global perspective to the Joint\nwarfighting team. The mission of the Air Force Space Command \xe2\x80\x9cis to provide an\nintegrated constellation of space and cyberspace capabilities at the speed of need.\xe2\x80\x9d\n\n21st Space Wing, Peterson AFB Mission and Functions\nThe 21st Space Wing headquartered at Peterson AFB, Colorado, is the Air Force\xe2\x80\x99s only\norganization providing missile warning and space control to unified commanders and\n\n\n 3\n\x0ccombat forces worldwide. The 21st Space Wing stated mission is to conduct precise and\ndisciplined missile warning, missile defense, and space control operations; professionally\noperate, support, and protect our installations while teaming with mission partners; and\ndevelop, deploy, and care for our Warrior Airmen who defend America and our Allies.\n\nThe DOD Recovery Act plan included one MILCON project, valued at $11.2 million, to\ndesign and construct a child development center (CDC) on Peterson AFB. The scope of\nthe work included a parking lot, sidewalks, landscaping, playground, utility extensions,\nand antiterrorism and force protection requirements. The project is located in the East\nArea of Peterson AFB.\n\nThe DOD Recovery Act plan included 62 FSRM projects at Peterson AFB with an\napproximate $19 million value. Examples of these projects included construction of a\ndorm support facility, construction of aircraft support system, sustainment of auto shop\nunit heaters, and installation of air conditioning in lodging building 1030.\n\nU.S. Army Corps of Engineers\xe2\x80\x93Omaha District\nWe performed a contracting review of one MILCON and 28 FSRM Peterson AFB\nRecovery Act projects implemented by the USACE\xe2\x80\x93Omaha District. The USACE\xe2\x80\x93\nOmaha District provides a full range of construction management and contract support\nservices for the Army, Air Force, other assigned U.S. Government agencies, and foreign\ngovernments\n\nReview of Internal Controls\nThe 21st Space Wing\xe2\x80\x99s and the USACE\xe2\x80\x93Omaha District internal controls over the\nplanning, funding, contracting, and initial execution of Peterson AFB Recovery Act\nprojects subject to our review were effective as they applied to the audit objectives.\n\n\n\n\n 4\n\x0cProper Planning, Funding, and Execution of\nPeterson AFB CDC Recovery Act Project\nThe 21st Space Wing personnel properly planned and justified the $11.2 million\nMILCON Recovery Act CDC project at Peterson AFB. The Office of the Assistant\nSecretary of the Air Force, Financial Management and Comptroller personnel properly\ndistributed Recovery Act funding to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. In addition,\nUSACE\xe2\x80\x93Omaha personnel properly solicited and awarded a contract for the project. The\nproject solicitation was transparent, competed, awarded as a firm-fixed-price contract,\nand contained the specified Recovery Act FAR clauses.\n\nPlanning\nThe 21st Space Wing personnel properly justified and adequately planned the CDC\nRecovery Act project. Project justifications were contained in DD Form 1391, \xe2\x80\x9cMilitary\nConstruction Project Data.\xe2\x80\x9d DOD Regulation 7000.14-R, \xe2\x80\x9cFinancial Management\nRegulation,\xe2\x80\x9d requires DOD Components to use a DD Form 1391 to support the request\nfor authorization of both new construction and urgent unforeseen projects using\nemergency or contingency authorization. Two specific sections of the form provided the\nproposed project requirement details and how the current mission would benefit from the\nproposed project. Item 10, \xe2\x80\x9cDescription of Proposed Construction,\xe2\x80\x9d requires a clear and\nconcise description of the proposed construction including a complete outline of all\nprincipal features of the work. Item 11, \xe2\x80\x9cRequirement,\xe2\x80\x9d provides a detailed, informative\nstatement of why the project is needed, how and under what conditions the requirement\nwas presently being met, and the manner and extent to which mission accomplishment\nwould be affected if the project were not approved. We concluded that DD-1391 items\n10 and 11 provided a clear and concise description of the proposed CDC construction, a\ncomplete outline of all principal features of the work, and an informative explanation of\nthe reasons for the project.\n\nWe confirmed that the CDC project justification was supported by an April 2006 report,\n\xe2\x80\x9c21st Services Squadron Facility Utilization Survey Space Requirements Report,\xe2\x80\x9d that\nshowed that the current Peterson AFB CDC and annex combined had 30 percent less\nspace than required to fulfill its mission. As of September 16, 2009, the Peterson AFB\nImmediate Care Waiting List showed 59 children waiting for placement in the existing\nCDC. The lack of adequate facilities and the inability to provide child care to all\npersonnel is a hardship to base personnel.\n\nFunding\nThe Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force, Financial Management and\nComptroller, personnel properly distributed the Recovery Act funding for the Peterson\nAFB CDC Recovery Act project to the USACE. On August 3, 2009, the Assistant\nSecretary of the Air Force, Financial Management and Comptroller, personnel issued a\nBudget Authorization/Allocation document for $11.2 million of MILCON Recovery Act\nfunding to the Headquarters, USACE, to fund the CDC Recovery Act project. On\n\n 5\n\x0cAugust 14, 2009, the Headquarters, USACE, personnel issued a Funding Authorization\ndocument for $11.2 million of Air Force MILCON Recovery Act funding to the\nUSACE\xe2\x80\x93Omaha District to fund the Peterson AFB CDC project contract. Timely\ndistribution of the CDC MILCON Recovery Act funds led to timely execution of the\nCDC Recovery Act project.\n\nExecution of CDC Project by USACE\xe2\x80\x93Omaha District\nThe USACE\xe2\x80\x93Omaha District contracting personnel properly solicited and awarded the\ncontract for the Peterson AFB CDC Recovery Act project.\n\nTo make sure the transactions related to this Recovery Act project were transparent, the\nUSACE\xe2\x80\x93Omaha District contracting personnel posted a pre-solicitation notice on FBO.\nThe pre-solicitation notice contained the required Recovery Act language. The synopsis\nin the pre-solicitation notice clearly explained the nature of the work and the award\nmethodology. In addition, the solicitation included the required Recovery Act FAR\nclauses.\n\nThe USACE\xe2\x80\x93Omaha District contracting personnel competed the project and received\neight proposals. The USACE\xe2\x80\x93Omaha contracting office awarded a firm-fixed- price\ncontract on September 29, 2009, in the amount $8.1 million for the CDC Recovery Act\nproject. The contract award was posted on FBO. The contract incorporated the required\nFAR clauses for the Recovery Act. The DOD expenditure plan authorized $11.2 million\nfor the CDC Recovery Act project. The contract award resulted in a bid savings of\n$3.1 million (the amount approved on the DOD expenditure plan minus the contract\naward). Office of the Air Force Civil Engineer personnel told us that they were planning\nto use those funds for additional Recovery Act MILCON projects.\n\nCDC Project is within Cost and on Schedule\nThe MILCON project to design and construct a CDC on Peterson AFB was awarded on\nSeptember 29, 2009, in the amount $8.1million. The notice to proceed for the contractor\nwas issued on October 22, 2009. The estimated time to project completion is 480 days.\nThe planned completion date is February 14, 2011. The project is proceeding within\nplanned project costs and schedule.\n\nCDC Project Tracking and Reporting\nWe did not review tracking and contractor reporting of the subject contract because of the\ntime constraints of our Peterson AFB and USACE\xe2\x80\x93Omaha District on-site reviews. We\nwill review recipient reporting of selected Air Force Recovery Act actions in future\nmemoranda.\n\n\n\n\n 6\n\x0cProper Funding and Execution of Peterson\nAFB FSRM Recovery Act Projects\nDOD approved 62 FSRM Recovery Act projects at Peterson AFB. We reviewed 57,\ntotaling $16 million, of the 62 FSRM projects. The Office of the Assistant Secretary of\nthe Air Force, Financial Management and Comptroller personnel properly distributed\nRecovery Act funding to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for execution of FSRM\nprojects at Peterson AFB. In addition, the Air Force Space Command personnel properly\ndistributed Recovery Act funding to the 21st Space Wing for execution of FSRM projects\nat Peterson AFB. The 21st Space Wing and USACE\xe2\x80\x93Omaha District contracting\npersonnel properly solicited and awarded task orders for the 57 FSRM Recovery Act\nprojects. The project solicitations were transparent, competed, awarded as fixed-price\ntask orders on existing multiple-award task order contracts, and contained the specified\nRecovery Act FAR clauses.\n\nFunding\nWe reviewed the funding for FSRM Recovery Act projects at Peterson AFB. The Office\nof the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force, Financial Management and Comptroller\npersonnel properly distributed Recovery Act funding to the U.S. Army Corps of\nEngineers. On May 15, 2009, the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force, Financial\nManagement and Comptroller, personnel issued a Budget Authorization/Allocation\ndocument that provided FSRM Recovery Act funding to Headquarters, USACE. On\nJune 5, 2009 and September 21, 2009, Headquarters, USACE, personnel issued a\nFunding Authorization document that provided FSRM Recovery Act funding to USACE\xe2\x80\x93\nOmaha District to execute FSRM Recovery Act projects at Peterson AFB.\n\nThe Air Force Space Command personnel properly distributed the Recovery Act funding\nfor the Peterson AFB FSRM Recovery Act projects. On April 2, 2009, the Air Force\nSpace Command issued a Budget Authorization/ Allocation document that provided\nFSRM Recovery Act funding to the 21st Space Wing to execute FSRM Recovery Act\nprojects at Peterson AFB. Timely distribution of the FSRM Recovery Act funds led to\ntimely execution of the FSRM projects.\n\nExecution\nWe reviewed the project execution for 57 of the 62 FSRM Recovery Act projects at\nPeterson AFB. The 21st Space Wing contracting personnel properly solicited and\nawarded task orders for 29 of the 57 FSRM Recovery Act projects at Peterson AFB.\nUSACE\xe2\x80\x93Omaha District contracting personnel properly solicited and awarded task\norders for 28 of the 57 FSRM Recovery Act projects at Peterson AFB.\n\n21st Space Wing ensured transparency on FBO\nTo ensure the transactions related to the 29 FSRM recovery act projects solicited at\nPeterson AFB were transparent, the 21st Space Wing contracting personnel posted\npre-solicitation notices on FBO. The pre-solicitation notices contained the required\n\n 7\n\x0cRecovery Act language, informed the public that this notice was provided for information\npurposes only, and this opportunity was available only to contractors under the two\nexisting simplified acquisition base engineering requirement indefinite-delivery,\nindefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts FA2517-05-D-5001/5002 identified in each\nsolicitation. The resulting task order awards were properly posted on FBO. The two\nexisting simplified acquisition base engineering requirement IDIQ contracts were\nmodified to include the required Recovery Act FAR clauses.\n\nUSACE\xe2\x80\x93Omaha District personnel ensured transparency on FBO\nTo ensure the transactions related to the 28 Peterson AFB FSRM Recovery Act projects\nsolicited by USACE\xe2\x80\x93Omaha District were transparent, USACE\xe2\x80\x93Omaha District\ncontracting personnel posted pre-solicitation notices on FBO. The pre-solicitation\nnotices included the word \xe2\x80\x9cRecovery\xe2\x80\x9d in the title and informed the public that the\nopportunities were only available to the specific contractors on existing multiple-award\ntask order IDIQ contracts identified in each solicitation. The pre-solicitation notices\nlisted the projects that were to be awarded on the task order under the solicitation.\n\nThe contract awards were also posted on FBO. The award notices included the word\n\xe2\x80\x9cRecovery\xe2\x80\x9d in the title and when required informed the public that the task orders were\nawarded on the existing multiple-award task order IDIQ contracts. The award notices\nlisted the multiple Peterson AFB projects for each task order and the total task order\naward amount.\n\nThe memorandum from the Director, Defense Procurement and Acquisition Policy,\n\xe2\x80\x9cPosting and Reporting Requirements for the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act\nof 2009,\xe2\x80\x9d dated August 19, 2009, revised the award notice reporting requirements and\nstated that award notices that use multiple Recovery Act Treasury Account Symbols or\nproject numbers are not allowed.\n\nThe award notices listed the multiple Peterson AFB projects for each task order and the\ntotal task order award amount. The task order award notice for 4 of the 28 Recovery Act\nprojects awarded on July 8, 2009, met the reporting requirements at the time of award.\nHowever, the task order award notices for the 11 Recovery Act projects awarded on\nSeptember 10, 2009, and the 13 Recovery Act projects awarded on November 25, 2009,\ndid not meet the revised award notice reporting requirements that disallowed multiple\nRecovery Act Treasury Account Symbols or project numbers on award notices. To\nprovide transparency by project (the intent of the guidance) we asked USACE\xe2\x80\x93Omaha\nDistrict contracting personnel to amend the award notices to include a list of the\nRecovery Act projects and contract amounts per project. On February 17, 2010,\nUSACE\xe2\x80\x93Omaha District contracting personnel amended the FBO award notice for the\n11 projects to include a list of the contract amount for each Recovery Act project. On\nFebruary 22, 2010, USACE\xe2\x80\x93Omaha District contracting personnel amended the FBO\naward notice for the 13 projects to include a list of the contract amount for each Recovery\nAct project.\n\n\n\n\n 8\n\x0cUSACE\xe2\x80\x93Omaha District contracting personnel included the required FAR clauses for the\nRecovery Act within the task order award for each of the three existing multiple-award\nIDIQ contracts.\n\nThe 21st Space Wing and the USACE\xe2\x80\x93Omaha District contracting personnel competed\nthe FSRM Recovery Act projects at Peterson AFB, issuing task orders to existing\nsimplified acquisition base engineering requirement and IDIQ contracts. Each of the five\ncontracts are multiple-award contracts with the task orders competed between the\nexisting contractors on each contract. The contracts and/or contractors eligible for each\ntask order were identified in the pre-solicitation notices.\n\nThe contracting offices awarded firm-fixed-price task orders for the 57 FSRM Recovery\nAct projects at Peterson AFB on 5 existing contracts between April 15, 2009, and\nNovember 25, 2009, for approximately $16 million.\n\nFSRM Projects Tracking and Reporting\nWe did not review tracking and contractor reporting of the subject contracts because of\nthe time constraints of our Peterson AFB and USACE\xe2\x80\x93Omaha District on-site reviews.\nWe will review recipient reporting of selected Air Force Recovery Act actions in future\nmemoranda.\n\n\n\n\n 9\n\x0cAppendix A. Scope and Methodology\nWe conducted this audit from September 2009 through June 2010 in accordance with\ngenerally accepted government auditing standards. Generally accepted government\nauditing standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain sufficient,\nappropriate evidence to provide a reasonable basis for our conclusions based on our audit\nobjectives. We believe that the evidence obtained provides a reasonable basis for our\nconclusions based on our audit objectives.\n\nScope\nWe selected 58 Recovery Act projects at Peterson AFB, one MILCON and 57 FSRM\nprojects for review. The 21st Space Wing civil engineering personnel estimated the CDC\nMILCON project would cost $11.2 million and the USACE\xe2\x80\x93Omaha District awarded a\ncontract for $8.1 million. In addition, the 21st Space Wing civil engineering personnel\nestimated the 57 FSRM projects at Peterson AFB to cost approximately $18.6 million and\nthe 21st Space Wing and the USACE\xe2\x80\x93Omaha District contracting personnel awarded\nIDIQ contract task orders for around $16 million.\n\nMethodology\nOur overall audit objective was to evaluate DOD\xe2\x80\x99s implementation of plans for the\nRecovery Act of 2009. To accomplish our objective, we audited the planning, funding,\nand initial project execution of Recovery Act projects at the 21st Space Wing, Peterson\nAFB, to determine whether the efforts of the Air Force complied with Recovery Act\nrequirements, OMB guidance, the FAR, and DOD implementing guidance. The audit\nalso included analysis of support provided by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers\xe2\x80\x93Omaha\nDistrict. Specifically, we determined whether:\n\n \xe2\x80\xa2 the selected projects were adequately planned to ensure the appropriate use of\n Recovery Act funds (Planning);\n \xe2\x80\xa2 funds were awarded and distributed in a prompt, fair, and reasonable manner\n (Funding);\n \xe2\x80\xa2 contracts contained required Recovery Act FAR clauses (Project Execution);\n \xe2\x80\xa2 projects avoided unnecessary delays and cost overruns (Project Execution); and\n \xe2\x80\xa2 recipients\xe2\x80\x99 use of funds was transparent to the public (Reporting).\n\nBefore selecting DOD Recovery Act projects for audit, the Quantitative Methods and\nAnalysis Division of the DOD Office of Inspector General analyzed all DOD agency-\nfunded projects, locations, and contracting oversight organizations to assess the risk of\nwaste, fraud, and abuse associated with each. We selected most audit projects and\nlocations using a modified Delphi technique, which allowed us to quantify the risk based\non expert auditor judgment, and other quantitatively developed risk indicators. We used\ninformation collected from all projects to update and improve the risk assessment model.\nWe selected 83 projects with the highest risk rankings; auditors chose some additional\nprojects at the selected locations.\n\n\n 10\n\x0cWe did not use classical statistical sampling techniques that would permit generalizing\nresults to the total population because there were too many potential variables with\nunknown parameters at the beginning of this analysis. The predictive analytic techniques\nemployed provided a basis for logical coverage not only of Recovery Act dollars being\nexpended, but also of types of projects and types of locations across the Military\nServices, Defense agencies, State National Guard units, and public works projects\nmanaged by USACE.\n\nThe CDC MILCON Recovery Act project reviewed at Peterson AFB was one of the\n83 projects selected. However, the 57 FSRM Recovery Act projects reviewed at\nPeterson AFB were not part of the selected 83 projects. We did not review the planning\nor cost and schedule for the additional 57 FSRM Recovery Act projects.\n\nUse of Computer-Processed Data\nWe used computer-processed data to complete this audit. Specifically, we used the\nnotices on FBO, data reported from FPDS, the Air Force Recovery Act Financial and\nActivity Report, posted from March 2009 through February 2010. We tested the\naccuracy of this data by comparing the project data reported on different systems for\nconsistency and also by meeting with program officials responsible for reporting on the\napplicable Recovery Act requirements. Our audit was focused on the reporting of\ncontract actions on specific Air Force projects. From these procedures, we concluded\nthat the DOD data were sufficiently reliable for our purposes.\n\nPrior Audit Coverage\nThe Government Accountability Office, the Department of Defense Inspector General,\nand the Military Departments have issued reports and memoranda discussing DOD\nprojects funded by the Recovery Act.
