handle is hein.gao/gaobacmgn0001 and id is 1 raw text is: United States G A 0 General Accounting Office / Washington, D.C. 20548 Resources, Community, and Economic Development Division B-280082 May 27, 1998 The Honorable Thomas J. Bliley, Jr. Chairman, Committee on Commerce House of Representatives The Honorable John R. Kasich Chairman, Committee on the Budget House of Representatives The Honorable Bob Livingston Chairman, Committee on Appropriations House of Representatives Subject Results Act: NRC's Annual Performance Plan for Fiscal Year 1999 This report summarizes our observations on the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC) annual performance plan for fiscal year 1999, which was submitted to the Congress in February 1998. As you know, the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 (the Results Act) requires federal agencies, beginning with fiscal year 1999, to prepare annual performance plans covering the program activities set out in their budgets. To analyze NRC's performance plan, we condensed the requirements in the Results Act into three basic questions: (1) To what extent does the plan provide a clear picture of intended performance across the agency? (2) How well does the plan discuss the strategies and the resources the agency will use to achieve its performance goals? (3) To what extent does the plan provide confidence that the agency's performance information will be credible?' Enclosure I presents our detailed observations concerning how well NRC's plan answered these questions. 'These questions are based on criteria in the Results Act, the Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) guidance to federal agencies on developing their plans, and a December 1997 letter to OMB from eight congressional leaders on their expectations for these plans.
