Environmental Protection Agency: Comparing Annual Budgets for Science and Technology
Abstract
The Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 established a system for agencies to set goals for program performance. Agencies are to prepare annual performance plans that establish performance goals to be achieved and describe the resources required to meet them. One way agencies can improve the usefulness of annual plans is to show how budgetary resources relate to the achievement of performance goals. In 1999, EPA was one of the initial agencies to organize its budget justification by its performance goals and objectives. However, this revision from the organization by program offices and components used previously made it difficult to compare prior year justifications.
