About Us
The Office
of Budget's primary responsibility is helping to prepare and defend the
Department's annual budget request. The Office also supports long-range
planning, conducts Department-level budget execution activities, supports
development of performance measures and annual performance plans, and helps Bureaus implement Commerce
budget procedures and policies.
Each summer,
the Office analyzes Bureau budget requests and identifies issues and provides
information to help Departmental officials make resource decisions which
are incorporated into the following documents:
- The Secretary's
Budget Request to OMB (in early September), and
- The President's
Budget Request to Congress (early February)
The first
week in February the Office prepares a Budget-in-Brief which summarizes
the President's Request. The Office also produces the Department's Performance and Accountability Report and a five-year
Strategic Plan which is updated every three years. These documents are
mandated by the Government Performance and Results Act, which requires
strategic planning and measurable performance indicators for all major
programs.
