Excerpt
Excerpt: For FY 2006, NOAA has identified a series of performance measures that can be used to assess the effectiveness of its program activities. This list of measures focuses on NOAA's priority programs and program goals and can be expected to evolve over time as NOAA, the Department, and the Administration continue to refine and develop effective performance measures to use as a key management tool, and to implement the Government Performance and Results Act. NOAA contributes to the third Departmental Strategic Goal: Observe, Protect, and Manage the Earth?s Resources to Promote Environmental Stewardship. For FY 2006 NOAA added a goal to its four performance goals reported in the FY 2005 budget. This new goal, Mission Support, covers activities that cross the realm of the other four performance goals and contribute to the overall mission of NOAA. To track progress in the implementation of NOAA's Strategic Plan for 2005 ? 2010 and its annual performance, NOAA developed performance measures for each of the four performance mission goals. NOAA has strived to make these measures an indication of the outcomes of its programs, and they are among important benchmarks used by NOAA to track progress in meeting its goals and objectives. There are no annual external measures for the Mission Support goal since the activities of the goal support the outcomes of the Mission goals. NOAA is developing new and improving existing internal management performance measures for the Mission Support goal. The following table shows the measures that NOAA uses to gauge its performance. A more detailed description of these goals and measures is in the NOAA section of the Department of Commerce budget.
