CHAPTER VIII

ANNUAL REPORT TO CONGRESS


1. The Secretary must submit an Annual Report to Congress on Departmental activities in response to Board activities each year at the same time the President submits the budget to Congress (see Chapter I, subparagraph 2a). The President historically submits the budget to Congress ten working days following the President's State of the Union address (i.e., during the first week of February).

2. The Departmental Representative's office must prepare the Annual Report. Responsible Managers must provide the Departmental Representative with a status update on Department's actions in response to active Board recommendations. The Secretarial Officers, in conjunction with the points of contact, should provide technical input and concurrence review.

3. The Annual Report to Congress will include the Board-related activities of the Department during the previous year. The Departmental Representative should address the following topics in the report based on actual activities for the year:

a. introduction (areas of Board emphasis, recommendations issued);

b. Departmental initiatives;

c. status of current year and previous year recommendations and implementation plans;

d. progress in areas of Board emphasis; and

e. notification of implementation plans in excess of 1 year.

4. For each active Board recommendation, if the implementation plan has not been or is not expected to be complete within 1 year of plan issuance, the Annual Report should be used by the Responsible Manager to notify Congress that more than 1 year will be required for plan implementation. The notification must state the reasons for the requiring more than 1 year to complete and the date when implementation is expected to be completed (see Chapter I, subparagraph 2a).
