SUBJECT: Addendum to Final Memorandum on the Standing Review Board for the Orion Crew Exploration Vehicle Project (Report No. IG-08-018, April 28, 2008)
We requested additional management comments on the subject final memorandum because we did not consider the comments on Recommendations 1.a, 1.b, and 1.c to be responsive. On January 26, 2009, we received additional comments from the Associate Administrator for Program Analysis and Evaluation (PA&E) dated December 18, 2008 (see the Enclosure), that are responsive. Management’s response also included an update on the other recommendations. All recommendations are resolved but will remain open pending completion and verification of the corrective actions (except Recommendation 4, which was closed November 12, 2008). Following is a summary of management’s comments on the recommendations and our evaluation of the comments.
