Government Performance and Results Act Strategic Plan
The Department's
FY2007 - FY2012 strategic plan is the linchpin that integrates DOI management.
The plan organizes the Department's goals and department-level performance
measures into four mission areas, with bureau inputs, outputs, and actions linked
to these measures. Bureau plans tier from this cohesive framework. Emergency Actions and NEPA
The Council of Environmental Quality (CEQ) has issued
guidance for Emergency Actions and the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). This guidance is specific to
emergency actions related to Hurricane Katrina and highlights
several points, including reporting requirements for oil and
chemical spills, projected long-term recovery efforts, and
information on how agencies can respond to emergencies and comply
with NEPA. Further guidance is provided by the Office of
Environmental Policy and Compliance's
ESM05-3, "Guidance for
Preparing a Decision Memorandum When Performing Emergency Activities
That Are Not Expected to Have a Significant Impact - Actions
Associated with Hurricane Katrina." Cooperating Agencies Policy Guidance - Initiating the NEPA
Process
The Departmental Manual (516 DM 2) was revised on June 21, 2005 to
provide further guidance to implement the president’s Executive
Order (EO 13352) on Facilitation of Cooperative Conservation. The
changes to Departmental procedures clarify the responsibility of
managers to offer cooperating agency status to eligible Federal,
State, tribal, and local government entities when a bureau prepares
an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) under the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). For additional information, please

Diverse Workforce
The Strategic Plan
for Achieving and Maintaining a Highly Skilled and Diverse Workforce
provides guidance to managers and supervisors on how to not only
improve diversity, but also build a workplace that respects,
appreciates and values individual differences and use those
differences to improve organizational performance, customer service
and workplace relations. The plan, a companion document to the
Strategic Human Capital Management Plan, will enable the Department
to make significant contributions toward achieving and maintaining a
highly skilled and diverse workforce.
National Fire Plan Performance Update
As the fourth year of the National Fire Plan implementation comes to a
close, success was once again realized in all key areas. The
National Fire Plan Performance Update describes how, under the
President's Healthy Forests Initiative and the Healthy Forests
Restoration Act, the Departments of Agriculture and Interior are
making progress to reduce the risks of catastrophic wildland fire.
Strategic Human Capital Management Plan The
Department’s Strategic Human Capital Management Plan for FY 2003 -
FY 2007 was published in September 2002. The Plan explores the
demographic features of our workforce, its geographic dispersion,
and the wide diversity of skills needed to fulfill our mission. The
Plan also describes four external and internal "drivers" that are
shaping the extent, complexity, and volume of our work.
Strategic Human Capital Plan Implementation and Workforce
Planning Report
In September 2003, the Department published the Strategic
Human Capital Plan Implementation and Workforce Planning Report.
The Report describes progress made to date in implementing the
Strategic Human Capital Plan and provides an overview of the bureau
workforce planning efforts. |
