Lieberman Ranking Minority Member Committee on Governmental Affairs United States Senate Subject: Observations on the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Fiscal Year 1999 Performance Report and Fiscal Year 2001 Performance Plan As you requested, we have reviewed the 24 Chief Financial Officers (CFO) Act agencies' fiscal year 1999 performance reports and fiscal year 2001 performance plans required by the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) of 1993. Annual performance plans establish performance goals and measures covering a given fiscal year and provide the direct linkage between an agency's long-term goals and day-to-day activities. Annual performance reports subsequently report 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 Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Enclosure I to this report provides our observations on FEMA'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 to (1) minimize human suffering and property losses after natural disasters, (2) provide timely responses to disaster aid requests, and (3) prevent or reduce harm and losses from future disasters through mitigation efforts. Enclosure II lists the major management challenges facing the agency that we and FEMA's Inspector General identified, how the agency's fiscal year 1999 performance report discussed the progress it has made in resolving these challenges, and the applicable goals and measures in the fiscal year 2001 performance plan. Results in Brief Overall, FEMA's fiscal year 1999 annual performance report shows that the agency is making progress in addressing its key outcomes, as the agency generally met its performance goals. However, in some cases, the agency did not explain why some performance goals that support the outcomes were not met, nor describe a strategy GAO/RCED-00-210R FEMA's FY 1999 Performance Report and FY 2001 Performance Plan
