Subject: Results Act: Observations on the Small Business Administration's
Draft Strategic Plan

On June 12, 1997, you asked us to review the 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 report is our response to your request
concerning the strategic plan of the Small Business Administration (SBA).


Objectives, Scope,
and Methodology


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

We obtained the March 5, 1997, draft strategic plan that SBA provided to
congressional committees. It is important to recognize that SBA'S final plan
is not due to the Congress and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
