PPP
collaborates
with the
Office
of Management
and Budget
(OMB),
Interior’s
Budget
office,
Interior’s
bureaus
and other
Interior
offices
in using
the Administration’s
Program
Assessment
Rating
Tool (PART)
to review
program
performance.
PART is
a standardized
and systematic
process
for rating
program
performance
that will
then be
used to
help make
budget
decisions.
PART can
also help
establish
performance
criteria
for good
government
management
and will
be used
in annual
performance
plans and
reports
required
by the
Government
Performance
and Results
Act (GPRA).
OMB and
Interior
are working
together
to review
20% of
DOI’s
programs
under the
PART process
each year
until all
programs
are evaluated.
In addition,
the PART
review
process
revisits
the programs
previously
evaluated
each year
until 100%
of the
programs
are reviewed
each year.
The schedule
of reviews
looks like
this:
Year
1: 20%
(completed
in FY 2002
for FY
2004 budget)
Year 2:
new 20%
+ previous
20% (completed
in FY 2003
for FY
2005 budget)
Year 3:
