Baseline |
There is no prior experience with this WIA indicator, which is
based on the use of UI wage records. PY 2000, the first full year of WIA
implementation, constitutes the baseline year for this measure. The
performance measure is derived from the agreed upon levels of performance for
all States. These measures will be regularly reviewed for appropriateness
and rigor as performance data becomes available. |
Comment |
The current FY 19992004 Strategic Plan includes the new WIA
goal based upon a weighted average of negotiated levels of performance for all
States. The goals for PY 2000, PY 2001 and PY 2002 stated in this plan
also reflect these negotiated levels for all States. The PY 2003 goal has
not yet been negotiated with the States, so the goal reflected is preliminary
and continues the trend established by the PY 20002002 goals. |

Comment |
*The indicators for job seekers were revised
to be consistent with the new WIA program. ETA is undergoing a transition
to a new labor exchange performance measurement system. Currently, there is no
statistically valid baseline data for these new measures. Targets reflect
very limited test experience with a few volunteer states. PY 2003 will be
similar to PY 2002 in that the total number of applicants is likely to remain
smaller based on the new methodology for registration.
Using the limited test data and some projections of the impact of
the formula change, the goals presented in PY 2002 offer a best estimate at
benchmarks. The proposed increase for PY 2003 is also speculative, but
based on the likelihood that increased services available to customers through
One-Stop systems will begin to positively impact the outcomes for a greater
percentage of job seekers.
The Employment Retention Indicator is a brand new one for the
Labor Exchange and has not been a program focus to date. The initial
target of 76% was chosen because it mirrored the WIA Title I program target and
has no basis in actual experience experience that Title I programs have
had for years in JTPA.
The target for PY 2002 of 70% was based on the limited data that
was produced in the pilot states. The PY 2003 increase to 72% was set
with the idea that some improvement should be expected as States continue to
have better tools with which to effectively match job seekers and employers so
as to lead to successful long term employment. It should be noted that
the Labor Exchange has no capacity to support follow-up services to job seekers
who enter employment, which could lead to an improved retention rate.
ETA will develop a new methodology for measuring continuous
improvement relative to increased listing of job openings that is adjusted to
reflect changes in the economy. |

Comment |
The goals for Program Years 2002 and 2003 are based on limited
data available at the end of Program Year 2000 and negotiated levels for all
states. It is also important to keep in mind past experience in youth
employment and training programs that shows youth traditionally have a harder
time staying attached to the workforce than adults. In addition, The
Workforce Investment Act encourages a focus on providing longer-term services
to the hardest-to-serve, out-of-school youth, which can be the most challenging
group to keep attached to the workforce. Therefore, the goals for Program
Years 2002 and 2003 may be revised based on actual performance in Program Years
2000, 2001 and 2002 respectively and/or if states renegotiate levels based on
actual performance data and other economic factors affecting performance.

Comment |
Consistent with the Secretarys goal to
ensure that American workers receive a fair days wages for a fair
days work, DOL has developed three distinct but related goals to help
ensure that workers are paid and employed in compliance with the minimum wage,
overtime, and child labor requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act and the
wage and working conditions requirements of the Migrant and Seasonal
Agricultural Worker Protection Act. The goals are (1) to improve customer
service by resolving complaints in a more timely manner, (2) to reduce employer
recidivism, and (3) to increase compliance in industries with chronic
violations. All three goals recognize that the key to ensuring
workers rights is to focus efforts on the industries and employers with
the most persistent and serious violations, and to resolve issues as
expeditiously as possible.
These goals address difficult and
long-standing problems, and will not be resolved quickly or easily. DOL
has established goals for FY 2003 that represent key steps to improving
customer service and compliance. DOLs FY 2003 goals were developed
based on empirical evidence and experience in these industries, but DOL
recognizes that there are economic and other forces beyond its control that may
impact its ability to meet its long-range goals. DOL will track progress
with an eye towards these extrinsic factors and will make adjustments to its
long and short-range targets and strategies as appropriate. |
Performance Goal
2.1B |
FY 2003: Advance safeguards for union financial integrity and
democracy and the transparency of union operations by:
- Improving timely filing of union annual financial reports that
contain information sufficient for public disclosure. In FY 2003, the
timely filing of union annual financial reports by unions with annual receipts
over $200,000 will increase - target TBD; baseline being established in FY
2002.
- Extending Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act
protections for union financial integrity to a greater number of labor
organizations through a more effective use of investigative resources. In
FY 2003 the percentage of investigative resources applied to criminal
investigation that result in convictions is increased - target TBD; baseline
being established in FY 2002.
FY 2002: Union financial integrity and democracy and the transparency of
union operations are safeguarded, as indicated by:
- Improvement in the timely filing of union annual financial
reports that contain information sufficient for public disclosure. In FY
2002, initiate a new electronic forms application and electronic
submission process and establish a baseline for timely filing under the new
process.
- Extending Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act
protections for union financial integrity to a greater number of labor
organizations through the more effective use of investigative resources.
In FY 2002, establish a baseline of the percentage of investigative
resources applied to criminal investigations that result in convictions.

Comment |
Union financial reports must meet certain
standards of acceptability before they may be filed for public disclosure
access. The new electronic forms and electronic submission system to be
implemented in FY 2002 will improve the timeliness, sufficiency, and accuracy
of filed reports that enable union members and the public to better monitor
union financial activity. The new process, in combination with a
continuing program of compliance assistance and liaison, is expected to raise
the percent of timely and accurate filings to over 90% by FY 2005. By
allocating criminal investigative time to cases with the most prosecutive
potential and, where appropriate, redirecting criminal investigative resources
to union compliance audits, ESA seeks to maximize its impact in extending LMRDA
financial safeguards for union financial integrity to the regulated
community. |

Results from three quarters of available data showed that thus far in FY 2001
the goal was not being met. The FY 2000 baseline is 68.1 days, and the FY
2001 target was 66.7. The overall government-wide average LPD for the
first three quarters was 75.2, a 10.4% increase. This new goal consists
of time lost during the initial 45-day, or continuation-of-pay period, while
the claim remains in the jurisdiction of the Federal agency employer, and LPD
in FECA cases within the first year of the beginning of wage-loss
benefits.

- This goal was exceeded. PRM produced an additional $31
million in first-year savings in FY 2001, bringing cumulative total first-year
savings to $103 million.
- The goal was not met. Average cost per case for
Psychiatric services were reduced by nearly 3% over FY 2000; for Physical
Therapy services, however, average cost increased by 4.5% (adjusted for
inflation).
- For Psychiatric cases, the decline in average case costs
was due, in part, to application of stricter guidelines over approval of
services in the FECA district offices;
- Despite an increase in average costs for Physical Therapy
cases, Focus Reviews conducted in late FY 2001 demonstrated the potential for
savings in this service category: 121 of 842 high-cost cases were identified
for adjustment of service limits.
FY 2000:
- This goal was exceeded. Average lost production days
(LPD) measured for Quality Case Management cases in FY 2000 was 164 days.
This represented a shortening of the average time away from work of 25 days
when compared to the FY 1997 baseline year. The reduction also equated to
a $17.7 million savings in compensation costs.
- This goal was substantially met. System programming was
completed and data collected started. However, goal refinement at
mid-year required extending the data collection period to a full year to ensure
an inclusive baseline. The target for establishing a baseline was
extended to May 2001.
- This goal was substantially met.
- - 5. N/A.
- This goal was exceeded. Cumulative first-year savings
for FY 1999-2000 were $72 million. PRM productivity remained higher than
expected. One-half of all reviews in FY 2000 resulted in either an
adjustment to continuing benefit amounts or a termination of benefits.
- This goal was exceeded. The FECA program saved $34.5
million (61% over target) using fee schedules for Inpatient and Pharmacy
services. The result was due, in large part, to a 37% increase in charges
for these services. This was consistent with the 32% overall increase in
charges subject to fee schedules (including Outpatient Hospital and Physician
charges) in FY 2000.
FY 1999:
- This goal was exceeded. Average lost production days for
cases measured in FY 1999 was 173 days against a target of 178 days. This
was nearly a 9% reduction compared to the FY 1997 baseline. The 16-day
reduction compared to the FY 1997 baseline represented a savings in
compensation benefits of $9.6 million for the cases measured.
- By September 30, a definition of "case resolution" was
developed and distributed to program district directors and OWCP regional
directors.
- The program implemented part of its revised initial findings
package in July 1999. The remainder of the findings package was awaiting
finalization of the new regulations.
- - 5. N/A
- The goal was exceeded. PRM case review actions
produced an additional $20.8 million in FECA compensation benefit
savings.
- Both the original and revised goals were exceeded. The
original goal was to save $10.67 million against amounts billed for inpatient
hospital and pharmacy services subject to new fee schedules, and through
specialized review for improper billings for physician/professional
services. The new fee (which became effective January 1999) alone
exceeded the target by 54%, and produced $16.5 million in savings.
Implementation of medical bill review was delayed and the full complement of
Medical Coding Specialists was not brought on board and trained until September
1999. No savings resulted from bill review.

Indicator |
- Average number of days lost due to workplace injuries per
employed Federal civilian worker. The measurement consists of time lost
during the initial 45-day, continuation-of-pay period while the claim remains
in the jurisdiction of the Federal agency employer, plus LPD within the first
year of the beginning of wage-loss benefits under the FECA following COP.
- The average number of days elapsed between the date a dispute
is received in a Longshore case from any party and the date that the dispute is
resolved.
- Percentage of claims filed which are subject to the new Black
Lung regulations on which no requests for further proceedings (reconsideration,
modification, informal conference, formal hearing) are pending one year after
receipt of the claim by the program.
- The percent of claims processed by the Energy Employees
Compensation Program, which reach initial completion within the relevant
timeframe measured in calendar days from the date of receipt of the claim by
the program to the status date indicating completion of initial
processing. Completion of initial processing includes: 1)
Issuance of Recommended Acceptance in Radiation Exposure Compensation Act
(RECA) claims; 2) Issuance of Recommended Denials; 3) Issuance of Form EE15 in
non-RECA accepted claims; or 3) Referral of a claim to the National Institutes
for Safety and Health.
- The percent of all final Decisions issued within the relevant
timeframe as measured in calendar days from the date of:
- The issuance of the Recommended Decision to the Final
Decision in Approved Claims or no-Contests Denials;
- The receipt of the request for Review of the Written Record
to the date of the Final Decision; or
- The receipt of Request for Hearing to the date of issuance
of the Final Decision.
- The fiscal year amount of total periodic payment (compensation
benefit) reductions in PRM universe cases.
- Overall average medical cost per case, after adjustment for
inflation, for all cases receiving medical services.

- Interim baseline for Quality Case Management (QCM) cases only:
FY 1997 actual 189 workdays. FY 2000 baseline: 68.1workdays.
FY 2001 actual results will serve as new baselines: preliminary results are 119
days for USPS, and 54.1 days for All Other Agencies.
- An average of 232 days elapsed nationwide between the dispute
receipt date and the dispute resolution date.
- 66.5% of Black Lung benefit claims, following an eligibility
decision by the district director, had no requests for further action from any
party pending one year after receipt of the claim: developed using data
collected over the past decade from claims subject to the old regulations.
- This is a new measure for FY 2002. While target levels
have been established, the actual performance results in FY 2002 will serve as
the baseline for this measure.

- For all cases with benefit actions in the measurement year, the
periodic payment amount paid at time of their entry into the PRM universe,
compared to the periodic payment amount after benefit reduction.
The
methodology for measuring savings from compensation benefit adjustments and
terminations was revised in FY 2000 to coincide with PRMs integration
into permanent operations. PRM savings for performance reporting were
previously derived by comparing total FECA program benefit reductions in all
cases, including PRM cases, in the measurement year, to total reductions
produced in the baseline year but not counting PRM case reductions.
- Overall Average Medical Cost Baseline: Average annual
cost per case in FY 2000 for all cases receiving medical services.
|
Comment |
- LPD is one of several goals within the joint, OSHA/ESA Federal
Employees Health and Safety Initiative to increase Federal workplace safety
rates and speed recovery and return to work. In light of widespread
public health incidents subsequent to the anthrax events involving postal
workers, and because USPS is excluded from OSHAs Federal safety
initiative since it is regulated as a private sector entity, this goal has been
bifurcated to measure LPD for USPS cases for all other Federal agencies
separately. Post-Sept. 11, 2001 impacts on the USPS, including
overall reductions in mail volume, resulted in higher LPD during FY 2001, and
that trend is expected to be difficult to reverse. Accordingly, we
believe FY 2001 is a more appropriate baseline against which to measure future
performance. (FY 2001 preliminary results are 117.1 days for USPS and
56.4 days for All Other Agencies. Determination of final results is
awaiting publication by the Office of Personnel Management of 4th
Quarter FY 2001 Federal employment data.)
- Reducing the average time required to resolve disputed issues
reflects increased cooperation among the parties and increased voluntary
compliance with Longshore statutes and procedures.
- This performance target will capture the results of program
efforts to reduce utilization of the extended hearings and appeals processes by
raising the quality of medical evidence and clarity of decisions in the initial
stages of the decision making process under the revised regulations.
- OWCP transfers non-Special Exposure Cohort (SEC) cancer claims
to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health NIOSH to document
radiation exposure histories and dosage levels. Upon completion of
the dose reconstruction, OWCP continues adjudication of the
claim.
Completion of initial processing indicates a point common
to all claim categories at which the Energy program has made a determination of
covered employment and covered illness. For claims other than non-SEC
cancers, this determination results in a decision to award or deny
claims. Beyond completion of initial processing, additional decision
points reside with the claimant or NIOSH prerequisite to issuance of a formal
Recommended Decision.
- These performance indicators remain provisional while the
recently implemented Energy program completes a process of understanding the
volume and nature of potential workloads, assessing work flow and resource
requirements, testing work processes, and determining optimal output
performance standards. Timeframes include decision points/actions by the
claimant (e.g., no contest denials cannot be completed until the
claimants 60-day response period has passed).
- Periodic Roll Management has proven highly successful in
identifying potential for return to work and resolving cases leading to greater
savings in benefit compensation (an additional $317 million between 1992 and
1998). In FY 1999, Congress appropriated resources to fully staff all
offices and integrate PRM into FECA program operations. This is
accelerating savings in Federal workers compensation costs, and
increasing the potential for returning workers to employment after recovery
from an injury. Note: decisions on cases under PRM review often
result in adjustment or termination of benefits. On a case-by-case basis,
and beginning with the first payment cycle after the benefit action, savings
are scored for the remainder of the measurement (fiscal) year, producing the
first-year savings for the case. First-year savings for all cases in the
measurement year are then combined producing the total first-year
savings. The cumulative sum of first-year savings is matched against the
goal as stated for each measurement year.
- The FECA program uses Fee Schedules to set payment levels for
standard categories of billed medical services. A special automated bill
review, the Corrective Coding Initiative (CCI) identifies medical
providers duplicate and abusive billing practices, and facilitates
evaluation and resolution of questionable bills before payment is
authorized. Focus Reviews identify proper treatment or payments for
selected medical services provided and matched to medical condition.
These mechanisms, along with procedural changes and other quality controls,
will result in overall reduction of program medical costs. ESA will
pursue its goal to reduce the average cost of Total Medical services in FY
2003, but has postponed its goal to reduce average costs for specific medical
service types, although review of selected service categories will
continue.

FY 2003: PBGC will provide
accurate and timely payments to the beneficiaries and businesses
it serves, including (1) paying eligible beneficiaries an estimated lump
sum payment within one year of trusteeing the pension plan; (2) minimizing the
number of erroneous benefit payments; (3) beginning accurate benefit payments
within 60 to 90 days of receipt of a completed application; and (4) refunding
pension fund overpayments to businesses within ninety days of a
request.

Comment |
PBGCs focus in recent years has been on reducing the average
time to issue benefit determinations that tell participants in PBGC-trusteed
pension plans what benefits PBGC guarantees for them. This performance
goal will be reached in FY 2002, and in FY 2003 PBGC will turn its attention to
a new performance goal addressing the Administrations reform initiative
to pay benefits in a timely manner. This new focus will have four parts:
(1) payment of estimated lump sum pensions within one year of PBGCs
trusteeship; (2) minimizing the number of erroneous benefit payments; (3)
commencing accurate benefit payments within 60 to 90 days of application; and
(4) prompt refunding of pension fund overpayments to businesses.
During FY 2002, PBGC will define these new elements of its
performance goal, identify baseline values for each, and set annual targets for
the next five years. |

FY 2001: The goal was not achieved.
For the first indicator, two industries were identified where the
data indicate the likelihood of equal employment opportunity problems is
greatest, and baselines indicating the extent of problems previously found were
established. With regard to the second indicator, OFCCP established a
baseline for Federal contractors and subcontractors that had failed previous
compliance evaluations, but not for those contacted only through outreach or
technical assistance. OFCCP did not develop a separate baseline for
compensation discrimination, but included this issue in the baselines created
for the preceding two indicators.

Comment |
Through compliance assistance and other contacts, such as
compliance evaluations, DOL plans to educate members of the two
targetedindustries on compliance techniques, reducing the proportion and
severity of noncompliance determinations and raising performance to the average
universe rate within a3 to 4 year evaluation period. The compliance
assistance effort willprovide information and assistance to the contractor
community on meeting equal employment opportunity requirements outside the
formal evaluation process. The compliance assistance tools used to
accomplish this objective include: Contractor Informational Packets distributed
at the initiation of each compliance evaluation; contractor seminars held in
each of the Regions; compliance assistance information posted on the DOL/OFCCP
web site: http://www.dol.gov/esa/ofccp/; and
assistance available to any contractor upon request, either within or outside
the evaluation process. In late FY 2001, DOL initiated an evaluation
project to study the relative effectiveness of various types of compliance
assistance. The information gathered from this project should help guide
future compliance assistance efforts. Should compliance assistance activities
prove as effective as anticipated, DOL plans to expand this performance goal by
selecting additional industries from its contractor universe in FY 2002 for
measurement in FY 2003, following the same approach used to identify industries
in FY 2001. |
Performance Goal
3.2B |
FY 2003: States that receive
financial assistance under the Workforce Investment Act provide benefits and
services in a non-discriminatory manner, as evidenced by:
- Positive changes in access to benefits and services for
persons with disabilities.
- Increased use of techniques for voluntary resolution of
complaints to achieve prompt results.

- Conduct technical assistance reviews of a representative sample
of One-Stop Centers in New York City and Miami. The focus of the
technical assistance reviews will be to set a baseline of compliance with
Federal programmatic and physical accessibility requirements for persons with
disabilities for these two Local Workforce Investment Areas (LWIA) One-Stop
systems.
- Initiate a longitudinal study of the resolution of complaints
filed under State administered Workforce Investment Act programs. Beginning
with FY 2002, examine states complaint logs to determine the number and
proportion of complaints resolved through the customary investigation process
versus alternative dispute resolution (ADR). The longitudinal study will
span FY 2002 through FY 2004.
- Provide alternative dispute resolution training for the staff
of New York City and Miami responsible for carrying out the ADR program for
their LWIA.

Comment |
For FY 2004, reviews will be conducted of the
One-Stop Centers in two cities that were reviewed in FY 2003 to assess the
impact of compliance assistance at these One-Stop Centers (The
target is a higher incidence of accessibility at One-Stop Centers in which
compliance assistance has been provided.)
For FY 2004, proportion of complaints resolved
through voluntary means will be compared to the proportion of complaints
resolved in FY 2002. (The target is an increase in voluntary resolution.)
Ongoing strategies will include sharing with DOL financially assisted State
level administered re-employment programs and nationally administered Workforce
Investment Act (WIA) programs best practices as reviews are completed.
