The Government Performance and Results Act (P.L. 103-62), the "GPRA" or "Results Act," was passed more than three years ago. The Department of Defense (DoD) has been engaged in its implementation. In reviewing the actions the department has taken thus far to meet GPRA requirements, I argue that the influence that performance budgeting concepts bring to bear has implications for the framework for the department's GPRA implementation, e.g., DoD's Planning, Programming, and Budgeting System (PPBS). I conclude that although DoD has strong planning and budgeting processes in place, significant implementation issues remain. Five issues are covered in the paper: the selection of appropriate measures; the process for performance planning/reporting; the desirability of changes to the accounting structure; the utility of increasing use of the Five Year Defense Program (FYDP) account structure to align performance with expenditures; and, the definition of the process for consulting with the Congress.

The Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 (OPRA) is legislation passed in response to growing concern over the efficiency and effectiveness with which the federal government performs its functions. Under GPRA, all federal agencies will be required to submit annual performance plans and reports starting in September of 1997 for the FY99 budget request. As a major agency, DoD will be required to submit these performance plans and reports. The act requires pilot projects as a test of performance planning and reporting. This thesis is an analysis of the performance plan/report pilot project currently in progress at the Defense Logistics Agency. Included is an examination of the two performance plans already submitted by DLA.

The Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 (GPRA) was designed to improve Government-wide program effectiveness, Government accountability, and ultimately, public confidence by requiring agencies to identify measurable annual performance goals, against which actual achievements can be compared. The GPRA requires Federal agencies to prepare strategic plans, annual performance plans, and program performance reports covering the program activities set out in their budgets. This report is one in a series on DoD GPRA reporting. In March 2000, DoD fulfilled its GPRA reporting requirement by publishing its combined Annual Performance Plan for FY 2001 and Annual Program Performance Report for FY 1999 in Appendix I of the DoD Annual Report to the President and Congress. In the Annual Report, DoD established two corporate-level goals and eight performance goals designed to measure achievement of the two corporate goals. An additional 49 performance measures and indicators help evaluate the status of performance goals by assessing the quantifiable outputs of the performance goals. Performance Indicator 2.3.2, "Unfunded Depot Maintenance Requirements," is designed to monitor the trend of unfunded depot maintenance to ensure that maintenance backlogs do not grow substantially over time. See Appendix B for the complete text of Performance Indicator 2.3.2. In the GPRA report, DoD indicated it had met the FY 1999 performance goal for unfunded depot maintenance and that a maintenance backlog for the Military Departments of $1.2 billion remained as of September 30, 1999. The objective was to determine whether DoD consistently and accurately compiled the information used to compute the DoD unfunded depot maintenance requirements. An additional objective was to determine whether DoD was achieving the goal of reducing unfunded depot maintenance requirements. A summary report on DoD GPRA implementation will discuss the management control program.

Pursuant to a legislative requirement and an agency request, GAO reviewed the Department of Justice's (DOJ) efforts to implement the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 (GPRA), focusing on the processes used to develop the fiscal year (FY) 1996 mission statement, general goals and objectives, annual performance goals, and performance indicators for each DOJ component. GAO found that: (1) in accordance with National Performance Review and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) recommendations, DOJ is developing output and outcome measurements, but DOJ has not described a departmentwide process for components to use in developing their performance measurement exhibits; (2) DOJ components have used five general processes to develop annual performance goals with input from program staff; (3) components' questions and concerns about implementing a performance measurement system generally include how to develop both general and program specific performance measurements and how OMB would use performance data in the budget process; (4) OMB has stated that it is not required to use performance data until 1997 and it is still learning how to use such data; (5) OMB believes that it is crucial that it interpret program results and account for why programs do not meet their performance goals, but it will not prescribe common governmentwide performance measures; and (6) although Congress has expressed a preference for outcome measurements, DOJ components have selected a variety of performance indicators based on their data collection operations and understanding of the measures.

Pursuant to a legislative requirement, GAO reviewed federal agencies' implementation of the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 (GPRA), including the prospects for compliance by federal agencies beyond those participating as pilots under the act, focusing on: (1) the status of the act's implementation efforts; (2) significant challenges confronting executive agencies in their efforts to become more results-oriented; and (3) ongoing efforts to integrate program, cost, and budget information into a reporting framework that allows for fuller consideration of resource allocations, operational costs, and performance results.

The Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) of 1993, Public Law 103-62, was designed to improve Government-wide program effectiveness, Government accountability, and, ultimately, public confidence by requiring agencies to identify measurable annual performance goals against which actual achievements can be compared. This report is one in a series of reports resulting from our audits of GPRA goals. This report discusses the FY 1999 DoD GPRA Performance Measure 1.2.14, "Number of Tank Miles per Year." The goal for that performance measure, 800 tank miles per year, was established as the average level of peacetime activity, including in-field training, combat simulations, and equipment maintenance, needed to achieve wartime proficiency standards. DoD established the "Tank Miles" measure to assess achievement of wartime proficiency standards and to serve as a benchmark for the Army ground forces portion of Performance Goal 1.2, "Maintain Trained and Ready Forces."
