Abstract: In the early 1980s, the Department of the Interior (DOI) began conducting regional rental surveys to comply with A-45 rent setting regulations. DOI has a substantial inventory of Government employee housing, operating about 10,000 quarters. They developed the Internet Quarters Management Information System (iQMIS), an automated system that uses rental algorithms determined by regional rental surveys to calculate rent and other charges for each quarter. iQMIS is now a shared federal service offered by the Interior Business Center (IBC, DOI), and used by 19 Federal agencies to calculate rent for approximately 18,000 quarters across the nation. iQMIS and the IBC employ all of the specific requirements of OMB Circular A-45 to determine rental rates. The forms are used to establish and revise rental, utility, and related service charges for occupants of Government housing (quarters). Information is collected from property owners, managers, and realtors.
