Minerals Management Service Government Performance and Results 
Act Strategic Plan; Comment Solicitation

AGENCY: Minerals Management Service, Interior.

ACTION: Notice, request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) of 1993 
requires that agencies update and revise their strategic plans at least 
every 3 years. GPRA also states that agencies must consult with the 
Congress and solicit and consider the views and suggestions of other 
parties that could be affected by, or are interested in, the agency's 
plan during the plan's development. Minerals Management Service (MMS) 
will revise its strategic plan this year, and would welcome comments 
from interested parties. We will consider these comments while drafting 
the revision to our strategic plan this summer.
    MMS will provide several forums for its customers, stakeholders, 
and other interested parties to provide input during the revision of 
its strategic plan, including:
     Commenters may input electronically through the MMS web 
site presented in the Supplementary Information section.
     Commenters may provide feedback with written 
correspondence to the addresses in the Addresses section.
     MMS may hold public consultation sessions (see 
Supplementary Information).

DATES: You are requested to provide electronic and written comments no 
later than June 1, 1999. You should submit your expressions of interest 
in MMS holding public consultation sessions by May 7, 1999.

ADDRESSES: Send written comments to Mr. James McNamee, Minerals 
Management Service, PO Box 25165, MS 9200, Denver, CO 80225. Send E-
mail comments to [email protected] (you also may submit

Plans. If you do not have electronic access, please request a copy of

    Public Consultation Sessions: MMS will schedule public consultation 
sessions in the latter part of May 1999 in Washington, DC, and Denver, 
Colorado, if there is sufficient interest. Interested parties should 
reply to the addresses in the Addresses section no later than May 7, 
1999. Session participants should be familiar with the current plan. 
The intent of the sessions will be to have free-flowing discussions

plan. MMS will establish logistics after expressions of interest have 
been received, and will notify respondents of dates, locations, and
