   DOL GPRA Performance Plans  
 
Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) of 1993. The purposes of this Act are to- (1) improve the confidence of the American people in the capability of the Federal Government, by systematically holding Federal agencies accountable for achieving program results; (2) initiate program performance reform with a series of pilot projects in setting program goals, measuring program performance against those goals, and reporting publicly on their progress; (3) improve Federal program effectiveness and public accountability by promoting a new focus on results, service quality, and customer satisfaction; (4) help Federal managers improve service delivery, by requiring that they plan for meeting program objectives and by providing them with information about program results and service quality; (5) improve congressional decisionmaking by providing more objective information on achieving statutory objectives, and on the relative effectiveness and efficiency of Federal programs and spending; and (6) improve internal management of the Federal Government.

GPRA Performance Plans – Beginning February 2, 2005, DOL will be adding a performance overview which display ETA's final GPRA performance goals and targets for this year (PY 2004) as well as proposed goals and targets over the next two years (PY 2005 and PY 2006). These performance overviews will serve as the source documents for the national GPRA goals and targets.

In the past, two planning documents were used to capture ETA's GPRA information, the ETA GPRA Performance Plan and the DOL GPRA Performance Plan . The DOL performance plans covered ETA's major programs. However, for some of ETA's smaller programs, it was necessary to refer to ETA's GPRA Performance Plans to find information on goals. Below, these past planning documents are broken into two heading for your review.
