         Chairman

         Subject: Observations on the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's Fiscal Year
                 1999 Performance Report and Fiscal Year 2001 Performance Plan

         As you requested, we have reviewed the 24 Chief Financial Officers Act agencies'
         fiscal year 1999 performance reports and fiscal year 2001 performance plans required
         by the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) of 1993. In essence, under
         GPRA, annual performance plans are to establish performance goals and measures
         covering a given fiscal year and provide the direct linkage between an agency's
         longer-term goals and day-to-day activities. Annual performance reports are to
         subsequently provide information on the degree to which those performance goals
         were met. This report contains two enclosures responding to your request
         concerning key program outcomes and major management challenges at the Nuclear
         Regulatory Commission (NRC). Enclosure I provides our observations on NRC's
         fiscal year 1999 actual and fiscal year 2001 planned performance for the key
         outcomes that you identified as important mission areas for the agency. These key
         outcomes are

         * no radiation-related deaths or illnesses due to civilian nuclear reactors;
         * no radiation-related deaths or illnesses due to the civilian use of nuclear materials;
         * wastes produced by the civilian use of nuclear materials are treated, stored, and
            disposed of safely; and
         * no loss or theft of special nuclear materials regulated by NRC.

         Enclosure II lists the 13 major management challenges facing the agency that we and
         NRC's Office of the Inspector General (OIG) identified, how NRC's fiscal year 1999
         performance report discussed the progress the agency has made in resolving these
         challenges and the applicable goals and measures in the fiscal year 2001 performance
         plan.
