[Performance and Management Assessments]
[2. Budget and Performance Integration and the Program Assessment RatingTool (PART)]
[From the U.S. Government Printing Office, www.gpo.gov]
The President's Management Agenda (PMA) aims to improve the management
and performance of the Federal government. The Budget and Performance
Integration (BPI) initiative of the PMA specifically directs departments
to improve program results and to ensure that performance is routinely
considered in funding and management decisions.

It's not enough to advocate reform. You have to be
able to get it done. And that's what we have done.
When it comes to reforming schools to provide
excellent education for all our children, we got the
job done. Results matter. When it comes to health
care reforms to give families more access and more
choices, results matter. When it comes to improving
our economy and creating jobs, results matter. When
it comes to having a strong farm economy, results
matter. When it comes to better securing our
homeland, fighting the forces of terror, and
spreading the peace, results matter.

I. THE OBJECTIVES OF THE BUDGET AND PERFORMANCE INTEGRATION INITIATIVE
The Federal government spends over $2 trillion a year on its programs.
In a results-oriented government, the burden of proof rests with these
Federal programs and their advocates to show that programs are achieving
results for the American people in the most effective and efficient
manner. Furthermore, it is the government's responsibility to make
difficult decisions about whether to increase or decrease the funding of
a program, or terminate a program's funding entirely if it is not
producing the desired results. The Budget and Performance Integration
Initiative is making this link between a program's performance and
decisions about its funding more routine.
American taxpayers expect managers of Federal programs to constantly
assess whether their programs are achieving the desired results at
acceptable costs. If the answer is ``no'' or ``we don't know,'' the
taxpayer expects those in charge to take immediate corrective action.
This results-focus is evident in the meaningful progress that agencies
make in the BPI Initiative, which has three specific objectives all
supporting the goal of using performance information in budgeting and
improving program performance and efficiency:
Increasing accountability, effectiveness, and efficiency--
implementing plans designed to improve the management and
performance of programs.
Investing in high pay-off or high priority activities--
focusing most on programs that can achieve demonstrably
greater results for the same or less cost.
Improving program design--developing, enacting, and
implementing legislative or other proposals to fix flaws
identified through the Program Assessment Rating Tool (PART)
that impede performance.
[[Page 10]]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is the PART and How is it Used?
The Program Assessment Rating Tool (PART) is designed to help assess the management and performance of
individual programs. The PART evaluates a program's purpose, design, planning, management, results, and
accountability to determine its overall effectiveness. Recommendations are then made to improve program
results.
To reflect that Federal programs deliver goods and services using different mechanisms, the PART is customized
by program category. The seven PART categories are: Direct Federal, Competitive Grant, Block/Formula Grant,
Research and Development, Capital Assets and Acquisition, Credit, and Regulatory. The PART types apply to both
discretionary and mandatory programs.
Each PART includes 25 basic questions and some additional questions tailored to the program type all divided up
into four sections. The first section of questions gauges whether a program's design and purpose are clear and
defensible. The second section involves strategic planning, and weighs whether the agency establishes valid
annual and long-term goals for its programs. The third section rates the management of an agency's program,
including financial oversight and program improvement efforts. The fourth section of questions focuses on
results that programs can report with accuracy and consistency.
The answers to questions in each of the four sections result in a numerical score for each section from 0 to 100
(100 being the best score). Because reporting a single weighted numerical rating could suggest false precision,
or draw attention away from the very areas most in need of improvement, numerical scores are translated into
qualitative ratings. The bands and associated ratings are as follows:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rating Range
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Effective.................................................... 85-100
Moderately Effective......................................... 70-84
Adequate..................................................... 50-69
Ineffective.................................................. 0-49
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Regardless of overall score, programs that do not have acceptable performance measures or have not yet collected
performance data generally receive a rating of ``Results Not Demonstrated.''
PART ratings do not result in automatic decisions about funding. Clearly, over time, funding should be targeted
to programs that can prove they achieve measurable results. In some cases, a PART rating of ``Ineffective'' or
``Results Not Demonstrated'' may suggest that greater funding is necessary to overcome identified shortcomings,
while a program rated ``Effective'' may be in line for a proposed funding decrease if it is not a priority or
has completed its mission. However, most of the time, an ``Effective'' is an indication that the program is
using its funding well and that major changes may not be needed.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
[[Page 11]]
II. RESULTS AGENCIES AND PROGRAMS ARE ACHIEVING
BPI Initiative Success
More and more agencies are achieving greater results with the help of
the habits and discipline established through the Budget and Performance
Integration (BPI) Initiative. These agencies recognize that BPI is much
broader than the PART and that the PART is simply a tool used to achieve
the much larger goals of the initiative.
In 2004, eight agencies achieved green status on the BPI Scorecard, a
quarterly rating that assesses whether agencies have achieved clear
standards of success for the initiative. The agencies at green are:
Department of Energy, Department of Labor, Department of Transportation,
Department of State, National Aeronautics and Space Administration,
National Science Foundation, Small Business Administration, and Social
Security Administration.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scorecard--Standards for Success
For each initiative, the PMA established clear, Government-wide goals or Standards for Success (http://
results.gov/agenda/standards.pdf). Agencies then develop and implement detailed, aggressive action plans to
achieve these goals. Most importantly, agencies are held publicly accountable for adopting these disciplines.
The Standards for Success for the BPI Initiative are below:
Senior agency managers meet at least quarterly to examine reports that integrate financial and
performance information that covers all major responsibilities of the department. Agency demonstrates
improvement in program performance and efficiency in achieving results;
Strategic plans contain a limited number of outcome-oriented goals and objectives. Annual budget and
performance documents incorporate all measures identified by the PART and focus on the information used in the
senior management report described in the first criterion;
Has performance appraisal plans and awards programs for all SES and managers, and more than 60% of
agency positions that effectively: link to agency mission, goals and outcomes; hold employees accountable for
results appropriate to their level of responsibility; differentiate between various levels of performance; and
provide consequences based on performance. The agency is also working to include all agency employees under
such systems
Reports the full cost of achieving performance goals accurately in budget and performance documents and
can accurately estimate the marginal cost (+/ - 10%) of changing performance goals;
Has at least one efficiency measure for all PARTed programs; and
Uses PART evaluations to direct program improvements, and PART ratings and performance information are
used consistently to justify funding requests, management actions, and legislative proposals. Fewer than 10% of
agency programs receive a Results Not Demonstrated rating for more than two years in a row.
Each quarter, agencies are rated on their status in achieving the overall goals for each initiative and progress
in implementing their respective action plans. To that end, a simple grading system of red, yellow, and green
was developed. Green status is for success in achieving results in each of the criteria above; yellow is for an
intermediate level of performance; and red is for unsatisfactory results.
The Government-wide scorecard reporting on individual agency progress is published quarterly at http://
results.gov/agenda/scorecard.html.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
[[Page 12]]
Best Practices
Executive branch agencies are using and sharing with each other
innovative management practices to achieve the goals of the BPI
initiative and thereby improving organizational and program performance.
One of the best practices shared across the Executive Branch came from
the Department of State (DOS). Management at DOS has integrated the PART
into their automated performance planning system. This capability allows
DOS to 1) monitor the quality and content of PART submissions, 2) track
the status of PART recommendations to improve program performance, and
3) most importantly, allows the Department of State to make this
information available to managers so that they can use performance
information to influence budget decisions.
The Department of Transportation (DOT) shared with other agencies its
successes with implementing marginal cost methodologies, which assists
in articulating the cost/benefit of putting additional resources into a
program. This year, DOT improved its performance budgeting by estimating
the marginal cost of performance for selected programs. DOT's
disciplined approach allows it to see how inputs affect outputs and how
outputs roll up to produce outcomes. As an example, DOT is able to
estimate the reduction in rail-related accidents and incidents it
expects to achieve at various funding levels. DOT now submits a budget
that shows expected performance at both a baseline level and a specified
marginal level. As a result, annual performance targets will be adjusted
accordingly to reflect the specified levels of funding.
The bottom line is that without solid performance baselines, you
cannot accurately predict performance changes resulting from varying
resource levels.
Programs Assessed Using the PART
This marks the third year that the PART was used to assess program
performance, make recommendations to improve program performance, and
help link performance to budget decisions. To date, the Administration
has assessed 607 programs, which represent approximately 60 percent of
the Federal budget. Over the next two years, the Administration will use
the PART to assess the performance and management of all remaining
Federal programs with limited exceptions. Alternative methods and
timelines for assessment are being considered for programs with limited
impact and large activities where it is difficult to determine an
appropriate unit of analysis.
With the help of the PART, we have improved program performance and
transparency. There has been a substantial increase in the total number
of programs rated either ``Effective,'' ``Moderately Effective,'' or
``Adequate''. This increase came from both re-assessments and newly
PARTed programs. The Table 2-1 below shows the percentage of programs by
ratings category.
Table 2-1. PROGRAM RATINGS ARE IMPROVING
(Cumulative program results by ratings category 2002-2004)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Year
Ratings/year -----------------------------------
2002 2003 2004
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Number of Programs \1\.............. 234 407 607
Effective........................... 6% 11% 15%
Moderately Effective................ 24% 26% 26%
Adequate............................ 15% 20% 26%
Ineffective......................... 5% 5% 4%
Results Not Demonstrated............ 50% 38% 29%
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Of the 607 programs assessed, 71 percent have defined and are tracking
clear outcome goals to measure their results and 59 percent have
efficiency measures in place to manage costs.
Unfortunately, in 2004 33 percent of PARTed programs are rated
``Results Not Demonstrated'' or ``Ineffective.'' Particularly in a
period of tight budgets, these programs must improve their performance
or their resources may be moved to higher performing programs.
Programs Reassessed
Programs are reassessed when significant changes have been made to
improve the program and those improvements can be demonstrated. For
example, programs might be reassessed when new performance measures are
agreed upon, PART recommendations have been implemented, new performance
data have been compiled, or a program evaluation has been completed.
In the last two years more than 127 programs were reassessed. Chart 2-
1 which follows demonstrates that PART recommendations are being
implemented and we are seeing results. The chart illustrates a
significant increase in ``Effective'' programs and a decrease in
programs rated ``Results Not Demonstrated.''
[[Page 13]]
Following up on PART Recommendations. While the Administration
believes that an increasing number of programs will earn ``Effective''
ratings, we also stress that PART recommendations are more important
than PART ratings because the focus of the PART is on continuous
improvement of program performance. The PART serves its purpose if its
findings and recommendations play a substantial role in guiding
decisions on spending, management and program improvements.
A number of Federal programs across the government have improved their
management or performance by implementing recommendations made through
the PART process:
Health Centers: The President's Health Centers Initiative is
creating 1,200 new and expanded health center sites to serve
an additional 6.1 million people by 2006. From 2001 to 2005,
this program increased the number of low-income individuals
served by over 30 percent. In 2006, the program has a goal to
serve approximately 16.4 million people, up from 10.3 million
in 2001.
Broadcasting Board of Governors: As a result of the PART,
this program established goals for weekly audience size,
program quality, signal strength and cost-per-listener for all
language programs. The Near East Asia and South Asia programs
are on track to attain their long-term weekly audience size
goal in Arabic speaking countries of 21 million listeners and
viewers by 2008--a nearly 700% increase from 3.1 million
weekly listeners and viewers in 2002.
FAA's Facilities and equipment Program: The PART helped
management determine the reasons projects in this program
consistently experienced large costs and schedule overruns. In
response to a PART recommendation, the FAA began focusing on
increasing the use of performance based contracts as a means
of controlling costs. Managers are now held accountable for
achieving cost, schedule, and performance targets through the
FAA's Performance management system, which is evaluated
semiannually.
National Weather Service (NWS): During a PART reassessment
it was determined that NWS increased its tornado warning lead
time from 10 minutes to 13 minutes; improved its flash flood
warning accuracy from 86 percent to 89 percent; and accurately
predicted the tracks of hurricanes within 94 nautical miles.
It has set goals to improve these and other key indicators of
its ability to protect lives and property from national
disasters.
The Migratory Bird Management Program: This year the program
developed new performance goals during the PART process.
Specifically, one of the new goals examines the percent of
migratory birds that are at healthy and sustainable levels. If
the program is successful, and external factors that also
affect migratory bird populations do not dramatically change,
by 2008, 62 percent
[[Page 14]]
of all migratory bird populations will be healthy and
sustainable.
Corps Hydropower Program: A reassessment of the Hydropower
Program credited the Corps with developing an overall asset
management plan for plant and program mangers. This management
plan is used by managers in making risk-based hydropower
investment decisions, as well as setting regional and national
hydropower investment priorities. The management plan was
developed in response to deficiencies cited in the initial
PART.
Nonpoint Source Grants (NPS): The Environmental Protection
Agency's program provides grants to states to identify and
address NPS pollution problems, a leading cause of water
quality impairment. NPS pollution comes from both urban and
rural sources, including roads, farms, and mines. A previous
program assessment recommended that the NPS program improve
its performance metrics and take steps to reduce any
activities duplicated by similar Department of Agriculture
(USDA) programs. As a result, in agricultural areas, the
program refocused its efforts on watershed planning to avoid
redundancy with USDA's efforts. The program also developed
good long-term, annual, and efficiency measures.
The Capital Security Construction Program: A past program
assessment identified a standard embassy design which would
promote the construction of new embassy compounds more
quickly, efficiently and in a cost effective manner. This
year's reassessment found that the Department of State
implemented this design recommendation across overseas capital
construction programs and for security and non-security
projects.
Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS): In response to
an assessment completed two years ago, Citizenship and
Immigration Services has begun to implement significant IT and
process improvements. Since May 2003, more than 182,000
immigration applications have been filed on-line, reducing
processing time and errors. One CIS field office is piloting a
green card replacement project. This field office is accepting
e-filed applications and has demonstrated results by reducing
the average renewal processing time from eight months to
approximately two business weeks. This improvement is
accompanied by a significant rise in e-filed applications from
an average of 650 per month prior to the pilot to about 1,650
per month.
Occupational Safety and Health Administration: In response
to the PART recommendations, this program now identifies the
monetary costs and net benefits for all new economically
significant regulations. In addition, the 2006 Budget requests
$1 million for an initiative to allow OSHA to develop more
timely data to assess performance.
Efficiency Measures
One of the greatest challenges for agencies has been developing
meaningful measures of program efficiency. Ideally, programs should be
able to articulate production costs for each unit of what it is they are
achieving. Agencies should be able to use efficiency measures to capture
skillfulness in executing programs and achieving results while avoiding
wasted resources, time, and effort. Although much work remains, this
year we experienced many notable examples of success:
Department of Commerce. In 2005 the Patent and Trademark
Office (PTO) continues to align resources with its goal of
promoting scientific progress by securing inventors' rights to
their respective discoveries. PTO has clearly defined
quantitative performance measures that are linked to its
annual funding request. For example, for 2005, PTO set the
following annual targets for the patent program: quality (as
measured by an error rate of 3.75%), processing time (as
measured by patent pendency of 31 months), and unit cost of
$4,052 per production unit for a funding level of $1.337
billion. Moreover, PTO's budget is not only framed around its
strategic plan, but its specific initiatives are linked to
PTO's three strategic goals: improving the quality, processing
times, and flexibility of its organization.
Department of Justice. The Drug Enforcement Administration
(DEA) has demonstrated proficiency at quantifying the impact
of funding increases (or decreases) on its performance
measures relative to targets established from the PART
process. DEA is capable of translating a budget increase for
additional drug enforcement agents into a specific number of
drug trafficking organizations that will be either disrupted
or dismantled in the fiscal year.
Social Security Administration (SSA). SSA's ability to link
financial resources and performance has assisted executive and
legislative branch decision makers during the appropriations
process. SSA was able to determine the number of claims that
could be processed at different funding level proposals. This
efficiency measure provided the requisite information to
arrive at the best possible funding decision.
Department of State. The State Department has developed
efficiency measures for each of its programs and is using them
to drive down cost while increasing performance. For instance,
the Refugee Admissions program has decreased the per-person
cost of admitting refugees to the United States from nearly
$4,500 in 2002 to $3,500 in 2004, while exceeding the goal of
admitting 50,000 refugees.
Department of Energy. The Weatherization Assistance program
increases the energy efficiency of dwellings occupied by low-
income Americans, thereby reducing their energy costs, while
safeguarding their health and safety. The program
[[Page 15]]
added a long-term efficiency measure to maintain a benefit-
cost ratio greater than one, which compares estimated lifetime
energy cost savings of all homes weatherized in a given year
to total program costs for that year.
Cross-cutting Review of Federal Programs
The Administration continues to look for new ways to improve the
performance of programs with similar purpose or design by using the PART
to analyze performance across agencies (i.e., cross-cutting analysis).
Cross-cutting analysis can improve coordination and communication by
getting managers from multiple agencies to agree to a common set of
goals and placing the focus on quantifiable results. This type of
analysis breaks down barriers across the Federal government and at the
state and local levels so that all are working toward the same goal.
This past year the Administration began a cross-cutting analysis of
community and economic development programs and rural water programs.
Community and Economic Development cross-cut analysis. To help foster
community and economic development, the Federal Government provides
financial assistance to communities through 35 grant, loan, and tax
incentive programs spread across seven agencies. In 2005 nearly $16
billion will be spent on efforts to revitalize distressed communities
and increase economic opportunity in areas that, despite increases in
national economic growth and productivity, continue to suffer from high
unemployment, low incomes and economic disruption.
During 2004, OMB reviewed the effectiveness and structure of Federal
community and economic development programs. An inter-agency group, the
Interagency Collaborative on Community and Economic Development, also
assisted this review by highlighting the strengths, weaknesses and
challenges of community and economic development efforts. OMB reviewed
the PART assessments of several programs to identify challenges shared
by these programs. First, several of these programs had unclear long-
term objectives, which resulted in many instances in a focus on short-
term outputs (e.g., number of people assisted and number of housing
units constructed), not on long-term community impacts. Second, the
programs did not coordinate effectively, and in many cases overlapped in
mission and function. For example, assistance for infrastructure
investment is provided by at least four Federal agencies. Third, and
most importantly, the programs were unable to demonstrate that they were
achieving long-term outcomes. In fact, there was little research to
demonstrate that Federal investment had improved communities over the
long-term. Ultimately, these programs should be able to measure
conditions and track changes in key indicators such as job creation,
homeownership, commercial development and increases in private sector
investment.
To ensure the efficient use of taxpayer resources and improve the
focus on results, the Budget proposes a $3.7 billion program within the
Department Commerce to support communities' economic development and
revitalization efforts. This initiative will consolidate programs such
as Community Development Block Grants and the Economic Development
Assistance Programs into a more targeted, unified program that sets
accountability standards in exchange for flexible use of the funds.
Further discussion on this initiative can be found in the Department of
Commerce budget chapter.
Rural Water cross-cut analysis. At least 12 different Federal programs
participate in building facilities that provide drinking water or
wastewater services to rural areas of the country. These programs have
some overlapping missions and use similar service delivery mechanisms.
Water development is part of the core mission of the Bureau of
Reclamation in the Department of Interior, the Rural Utilities Service
in USDA, and the Environmental Protection Agency's Clean Water and
Drinking Water State Revolving Funds. Other agencies, such as the Indian
Health Service in the Department of Health and Human Services and the
Economic Development Administration in the Department of Commerce,
support activities related to rural water development, but use them as
means to achieve broader program goals such as promoting economic
development. Analysis of these programs also revealed that the Federal
government's role in developing water resources is unclear, which
hampers the long-term strategic planning of these agencies and creates
uncertainty as to what actions Federal agencies should undertake and how
to prioritize funding for Federal water projects. Consolidating some of
these programs may result in more efficient program management and
better delivery of on-the-ground services for rural communities. The
Administration will develop recommendations regarding consolidation and
reform of Federal rural water programs that it will forward to a
proposed Results Commission, if authorized by Congress. (See next
section).
III. NEXT STEPS FOR THE BPI INITIATIVE
Results Commission
Dysfunctional program overlap is why many of the 30 percent of
programs are rated either ineffective or unable to demonstrate results.
Cross-cutting analysis can help in many of these areas, but overlapping
jurisdictions in Congress provide daunting hurdles to legislative
remedies for the poor performance of duplicative programs. To overcome
this challenge, the President will propose that Congress enact
legislation that gives him the authority to recommend the creation of
``Re
[[Page 16]]
sults Commissions'' to consider and revise Administration proposals to
improve the performance of programs or agencies by restructuring or
consolidating them. Proposals approved by a commission would then be
approved by the President and considered by Congress under expedited
procedures.
The President's proposal to the Congress will also include a process
by which programs undergo the regular scrutiny brought about by having
to defend their existence before a Sunset Commission. Programs would be
reviewed by the Sunset Commission according to a schedule enacted by
Congress. The Commission would consider and revise Administration
proposals to retain, restructure, or terminate programs. Programs would
automatically terminate according to the schedule unless Congress took
some action to reauthorize them.
Both components of this proposal--the Results Commissions and the
Sunset Commission--will require enactment by Congress and the President.
In the absence of these reforms, the Administration will continue to
pursue all opportunities to improve program performance to include using
the PART for cross-cutting analysis.
Other Cross-Cuts of Federal Programs
In 2005, the Administration will conduct additional cross-cuts in
three different areas: block grant programs, small business innovation
research programs and credit programs.
Block Grants. One of the most common tools used by the Federal
government is the block grant, particularly in the social services area
where states and localities are the service providers. Block grants are
embraced for their flexibility to meet local needs and criticized
because accountability for results can be difficult when funds are
allocated based on formulas and population counts rather than
achievements or needs. In addition, block grants pose performance
measurement challenges precisely because they can be used for a wide
range of activities. The obstacles to measuring and achieving results
through block grants are reflected in PART scores: they receive the
second lowest average score of the seven PART types, 8 percent of block
grant programs assessed to date are rated ineffective, and 45 percent
are rated Results Not Demonstrated.
Nonetheless, the PART shows that some Federal block grant programs are
achieving results superior to others, effectively combining the
flexibility that localities need with the results that taxpayers
deserve. In the coming year, the Administration will apply the lessons
learned from the effective block grants to several of those performing
inadequately. This project will identify the methods used to manage
highly rated block grant programs and adapt and implement those
practices in large, low-scoring programs. Each of the programs targeted
for improvement will develop an action plan and implementation timeline
that will be tracked quarterly. The targeted programs will be re-
analyzed through the PART in one to two years to assess whether
implementing the block grant best practices results in improved
performance.
Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR). The SBIR program
established in 1982, sets aside 2.5 percent of government research and
development (R&D) contract and grant funding to allow small businesses
to explore innovative ideas. The goal of the program is to assist small
businesses in undertaking and obtaining the benefits of research and
development, while assisting the funding agencies to realize their
mission. Approximately $2 billion was spent last year in SBIR programs.
All Federal agencies with R&D budgets above $100 million per year must
publish a list of technical topics that they would like to support,
after which small businesses are encouraged to submit research funding
proposals addressing opportunities in those areas. First, agencies
investigate the feasibility of the project and, if deemed promising,
funding is provided for research and development. Awards generally are
limited to about $1 million per project. Agencies monitor the progress
of the selected projects and report key data annually to the Small
Business Administration.
This year the Administration will review the SBIR programs of several
agencies in a cross-agency review. Key questions to be asked include how
well the program is managed; how well it is coordinated among the
participating agencies; how well the program has done in commercializing
products in the marketplace; and how well it has contributed to the
success of the missions of the participating agencies.
Credit Programs. The Federal Government is one of the world's largest
lenders. At the end of 2003, the Government held a financial asset
portfolio of nearly $1.5 trillion, including direct loans, loan
guarantees, defaulted loans, and non-credit debt owed to agencies. Many
agencies lack the data, processes, or overall understanding of the
credit lifecycle (origination, loan servicing/lender monitoring,
liquidation, and debt collection) needed to effectively assist intended
borrowers while also proactively reducing errors, risk, and cost to the
Government. Some credit program PART scores reflect these fundamental
inefficiencies.
A cross-cutting analysis will identify best practices that can be
implemented across the major credit agencies, with the goal of
strengthening Government credit management practices at all stages of
the credit lifecycle. This will in turn lead to improved credit program
PART scores as well as substantial budgetary savings: upfront subsidy
costs and administrative expenses could be reduced by hundreds of
millions of dollars, and delinquent debt could be reduced by up to $10
billion.
Additional discussion of the credit program cross-cut can be found in
chapter seven of this Analytical Perspectives volume (``Credit and
Insurance'').
Follow-up on Recommendations
Rigorous follow-up on recommendations from the PART will accelerate
improvements in the performance
[[Page 17]]
of Federal programs. The Administration is developing a web-based PART
recommendation tracking system that will monitor what actions are
required and their state of completion. This will ensure that the hard
work done through the PART produces performance and management
improvements.

PART Questionnaire. The table below illustrates key questions from
each section of the PART.
Table 2-3. THE PART QUESTIONNAIRE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key Questions for Every Program Description
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PROGRAM PURPOSE AND DESIGN
Is the program purpose clear?
Does the program address a specific and existing problem,
interest, or need?
Is the program designed so it is not redundant or duplicative of
any other federal, state, local or private effort?
Is the program designed free of major flaws that would limit
program effectiveness or efficiency?
This section examines the clarity of program purpose and soundness of
Is the program effectively targeted, so that resources will reach program design. It looks at factors including those the program, agency,
the intended beneficiaries and/or otherwise address the program's purpose or Administration may not directly control but which are within their
directly? influence, such as legislation and market factors. Programs should
generally be designed to address a market failure--either an efficiency
matter, such as a public good or externality, or a distributional
objective, such as assisting low-income families--in the least costly or
most efficient manner. A clear understanding of program purpose is
essential to setting meaningful program goals, measures, and targets;
maintaining focus; and managing the program. Potential source documents
and evidence for answering questions in this section include authorizing
legislation, agency strategic plans, annual performance plans, and other
agency reports. Options for answers are Yes, No or Not Applicable
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[[Page 18]]
STRATEGIC PLANNING
Does the program have a limited number of specific long-term
performance measures that focus on outcomes and meaningfully reflect the
purpose of the program?
Does the program have ambitious targets and timeframes for its
long-term measures?
Does the program have a limited number of specific annual
performance goals that can demonstrate progress toward achieving the

PART Categories. The PART segments mandatory and discretionary Federal
programs into seven categories. The accompanying table describes the
program categories:
[[Page 19]]
Table 2-4. THE PART, BY CATEGORY
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Program Type Description Examples
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Competitive Grant Programs Programs that distribute funds to Head Start
state, local and tribal
governments, organizations,
individuals and other entities
through a competitive process.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Block/Formula Grant Programs Programs that distribute funds to Vocational Education State
state, local and tribal governments Grants
and other entities by formula or
block grant.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Regulatory-Based Programs Programs that employ regulatory Occupational Safety and
action to achieve program and Health Administration
agency goals through rulemaking
that implements, interprets or
prescribes law or policy, or
describes procedure or practice
requirements. These programs issue
significant regulations, which are
subject to OMB review.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Capital Assets and Service Programs where the primary means to Youth Anti-Drug Media
Acquisition Programs achieve goals is the development Campaign
and acquisition of capital assets
(such as land, structures,
equipment, and intellectual
property) or the purchase of
services (such as maintenance and
information technology) from a
commercial source.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Credit Programs Programs that provide support Rural Electric Utility
through loans, loan guarantees and Loans and Guarantees
direct credit.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Direct Federal Programs Programs in which support and Coin Production
services are provided primarily by
Federal employees.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Research and Development Programs Programs that focus on creating Solar Energy Program
knowledge or applying it toward the
creation of systems, devices,
methods, materials or technologies.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
APPENDIX 2: SUMMARY RESULTS OF PROGRAMS EVALUATED USING THE PART
Since its inception, the PART has been improved annually based on
feedback received from agencies and the public. Although there were no
changes to the PART questions for this past year, the guidance has been
refined each year to improve consistency in application of the PART
across programs. Feedback from Federal agencies, General Accounting
Office, Center for Excellence in Government, National Academy of Public
Administrators, the public, and internal quality control reviews all
helped improve the guidance.
The table that follows lists summary PART results and funding
information for each of the assessed programs. It affirms the fact that
PART ratings are one factor, but not the only factor, in the
Administration's budget formulation process. The PART gives the
Executive Branch, Congress, and individual program managers valuable
insight into ways we can improve program performance on behalf of the
American people. Individual PART summaries are included on the CD that
accompanies the Analytical Perspectives volume, and full PART worksheets
can be found on OMB's web page (www.budget.gov/budget/fy2006/part.html)
