PERFORMANCE BUDGETING. Observations on the Use of OMB's Program Assessment Rating Tool for the Fiscal Year 2004 Budget

Abstract

The Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) Program Assessment Rating Tool (PART) is meant to provide a consistent approach to evaluating federal programs during budget formulation. To better understand its potential, congressional requesters asked GAO to examine (1) how PART changed OMB's fiscal year 2004 budget decisionmaking process, (2) PART'S relationship to the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 (GPRA), and (3) PART'S strengths and weaknesses as an evaluation tool.
