THE AIR FORCE FUNDING PROCESS
A.
TYPES OF FUNDING
1. Energy Conservation Investment Program (ECIP).
ECIP is an OSD centrally managed energy program intended to help
DoD meet its energy reduction goals by 2005. Projects must follow
MILCON programming guidance as well as DoD program guidelines
that include: a discounted payback of 10 years or less and a
Savings to Investment Ratio (SIR) of at least 1.25. MAJCOMS
submit candidate projects to the AFCESA every Spring for
inclusion in the upcoming fiscal year's program. AFCESA
prioritizes the projects, primarily based upon SIR, and a
suggested priority is sent to OSD. Although not normal, it is
possible to submit projects to Air Staff out of cycle. A MAJCOM
can submit a project anytime to Air Staff to be added to the ECIP
Program, if funds are available.
2. Facility Energy Management Program (FEMP).
Any operation and maintenance funded repair project or any minor
construction project less than the current minor construction
limit that will reduce energy consumption, costs, provide savings
in operating and maintenance costs, and help achieve the energy
goals, can be considered a FEMP candidate. FEMP projects will
use the same program criteria as in the ECIP program. Projects
must have an estimated cost of at least ,000. However, the
submittals for these projects will be submitted as line items and
MAJCOMs and basses should follow instructions in the call letter.
These line items will include a cost estimate, simple payback,
estimated date of award, estimated savings, and consumption
reduction.
3. Fast Payback Capital Investment Program
(FASCAP). Although the DoD identifies this program as the
"Productivity Enhancing Incentive Fund" (PEIF), the Air Force
uses the acronym "FASCAP". This program became self-sustaining
in FY92. All FASCAP projects have to cost less than 0,000 and
need to amortize within two years from the date they become
operational. Projects are determined based on their Savings to
Investment Ratio (SIR), and the supporting economic
justifications must be validated by the base Manpower and
Organization staff before proposals can be submitted to MAJCOMs.
