Government Performance and Results Act

The Government Performance and Results Act is one of the most recent and comprehensive of a number of laws and executive orders directing federal agencies to join the "performance management revolution" already embraced by private industry and many local, state, and national governments. Performance management ensures that daily actions and expenditure of resources are guided by long- and short-term goal setting in pursuit of accomplishing an organization's primary mission, followed by performance measurement and evaluation. Importantly, the Government Performance and Results Act mandates that long-term and annual goals be results or outcomes rather than outputs (activities, products, or services) and that they be "objective, quantifiable, and measurable" so that performance can be adequately measured and reported, and progress on mission accomplishment assessed.

The Government Performance and Results Act requires federal agencies to develop, use and publish the following primary documents.

Did You Know?
Some of the nicest weather of the year is during the park's winter season (November-March). It is also one of the best times to visit the park when crowds are smaller and because the leaves off the trees, the views are more extensive and earthworks can be seen more clearly.
