• Advocate the importance of Heritage Assetsa
  unique set of assets owned and managed and
  administered by DOI because of their historical,
  natural, cultural, educational, or artistic
  significance, which are expected to be preserved
  indefinitely.
• FASAB 29 Parts 15 and 16
• Ensure that Heritage Assets, which are not only
  identified by FASAB, but are also in 20 laws, 7
  executive orders, and about 15 different sets of
  federal regulations, are properly represented
  within DOI asset management

• Where are we headed.Continued
• HAP is also looking to continue reaching out to
  other agencies for their input on Asset
  Management. We have done this to some degree and
  have benefited from understanding how other
  agencies are dealing with Heritage Asset
  Management.
• HAP realizes that heritage asset management will
  only continue to expand and sees a real benefit
  to having wider inter-agency understanding of
  these issues.
