Enclosure I to this letter provides our observations on the fiscal year 2000 performance plan for the Department of Commerce. Enclosure II lists management challenges we and Commerce's Inspector General identified that face the agency and the applicable goals and measures in the fiscal year 2000 annual performance plan. Our objectives were to (1) assess the usefulness of the agency's plan for decisionmaking and (2) identify the degree of improvement the agency's fiscal year 2000 performance plan represents over the fiscal year 1999 plan. Our observations were generally based on the requirements of the Results Act, guidance to agencies from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for developing the plan (OMB Circular A-11, part 2), our previous reports and knowledge of Commerce's operations and programs, and our observations on Commerce's fiscal year 1999 performance plan. Our summary report on the CFO Act agencies' fiscal year 2000 plans contains a complete discussion of our objectives, scope, and methodology.' As agreed, unless you announce the contents of this letter earlier, we plan no further distribution until 30 days from the date of this letter.
