Program Assessment and Rating Tool (PART)
The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) developed the PART for systematic assessment of Federal government program results. PART focuses on program purpose and design, strategic planning, program management, and program results/accountability. A Program Assessment of the Federal Facilities Remedial Program was conducted for Fiscal Year 2005 and scored the program as “moderately effective.” As an element of this assessment, a set of follow-up actions and recommendations designed to improve the program are currently underway.

Construction Completions at NPL Sites
EPA tracks construction completions to simplify its system of categorizing sites and better communicate the successful completion of cleanup activities. In addition, partial deletions help to promote the economic redevelopment of Superfund sites and better communicate the completion of successful partial cleanups.

Ready for Anticipated Use at NPL Sites
In order to provide potential users of sites with an environmental status report that documents a technical determination, EPA created the ready for anticipated use determination. This determination finds that all or a portion of a site can support specified types of uses while remaining protective of human health and the environment.
