Subject: Results Act: Observations on EPA'S Draft Strategic Plan

On June 12, 1997, you asked us to review the draft strategic plans
submitted by the cabinet departments and selected major agencies for
consultation with the Congress as required by the Government
Performance and Results Act of 1993 (the Results Act). This letter is our
response to that request concerning the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA).


Objectives, Scope,
and Methodology


Specifically, you asked us to review EPA'S draft plan and (1) assess whether
it fulfills the requirements of the Results Act and to provide our views on
its overall quality; (2) assess whether it reflects EPA'S key statutory
authorities; (3) assess whether it reflects interagency coordination for
crosscutting programs, activities, or functions that are similar or
complementary to other federal agencies; (4) assess whether it addresses
management problems we have previously identified; and (5) assess
whether EPA'S data and information systems are adequate for providing
reliable information for measuring results.
