Annual Goal Setting No Longer Required
As of April 2008, the FEC no longer requires Facility Partners to set annual goals or submit the Annual Goals Identification Form. Facility Partners are instead encouraged to focus on achievement of the Executive Order 13423 electronics stewardship goals.
What is Required of Facility Partners?
Facility Partners may be any subcomponent of a federal agency, including but not limited to bureaus, administrations, departments, offices, facilities, laboratories, divisions, field or regional offices. Facility Partners progress through a series of simple steps to participate in the FEC. These steps are also available in a flowchart format (PDF, 293 KB).
- Register as a Facility Partner.
- Within six weeks of registering, identify your baseline by completing the Baseline Survey of Current Practices.
- Design, implement and refine your electronics management program.
You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader, available as a free download, to view some of the files on this page.
- Report Annual Progress.
- Apply for an Award at one of three recognition levels: Gold, Silver or Bronze.
The FEC encourages continual improvement by asking Facility Partners to complete steps 3 and 4 each year. Applying for an annual award (step 5) is optional, but highly encouraged.
