Accountabiity Integrity * Reliability United States General Accounting Office Resources, Community, and Washington, DC 20548 Economic Development Division B-285954 August 18, 2000 James L. Sensenbrenner Chairman, Committee on Science House of Representatives Subject: Government Performance and Results Act: Information on FAA's Science Activities in DOT's Performance Report for Fiscal Year 1999, Performance Plan for Fiscal Year 2001, and July 2000 Draft Strategic Plan Under the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) of 1993, the Department of Transportation (DOT) issued its first 5-year strategic plan in 1997. That plan established five strategic goals related to safety, mobility, economic growth and trade, the environment, and national security. Since fiscal year 1999, DOT has also issued annual performance plans that set annual performance goals and are intended to provide a direct link between its long-term strategic goals and day-to-day activities. GPRA further requires annual performance reports to report subsequently on the degree to which those annual goals were met. In March 2000, DOT issued its fiscal year 1999 performance report and fiscal year 2001 performance plan as a single document, to which we refer hereafter as the performance report/plan. In addition, DOT is revising its 5-year strategic plan and has made drafts of that plan available to the Congress and other stakeholders for comment and consultation. The revised plan is due to be issued on September 30, 2000, and would cover fiscal years 2000 through 2005. These documents include information on the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) science activities, such as the research and development of landing and navigational aids and research concerning aviation medicine. To facilitate your review of these documents and oversight of these activities, you asked us to provide info rmatio n on * how DOT's fiscal year 1999 performance report/fiscal year 2001 performance plan addresses FAA's science activities; * the extent to which FAA's science activities in the President's fiscal year 2001 budget request are linked to DOT's fiscal year 2001 performance plan; and * for FAA's science activities, the extent to which DOT's fiscal year 2001 performance plan addresses weaknesses that we identified in previous performance plans. In addition, you asked us to determine the extent to which DOT's July 17, 2000, draft strategic plan complies with GPRA. GAO/RCED-00-258R FAA's Science Activities in DOT's Performance Report/Plan
