SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Labor's Draft FY 2003-2008 
Strategic Plan is provided as part of the strategic planning process 
under the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) of 1993 to 
ensure that agency stakeholders are provided an opportunity to comment 
on the plan.
    This document integrates the Department's many diverse missions and 
different program objectives into a presentation of performance 
objectives under four overarching strategic goals. The first three 
goals were developed during the initial phases of GPRA implementation 
in 1997 and the draft strategic plan includes revisions and 
improvements to the performance objectives that have evolved over the 
years. These three goals are: A Prepared Workforce--Increase Employment 
Earnings and Retention; A Secure Workforce--Increase Compliance with 
Worker Protection Laws; and Quality Workplaces--Foster Quality 
Workplaces that are Safe, Healthy, and Fair.
    The fourth strategic goal--A Competitive Workforce--has been added 
to address some of the new challenges faced by the 21st Century 
workforce. The Department of Labor seeks to be an active force in 
supporting the Nation's competitiveness in a global economy. The issues 
the Department has identified include how we actually work, where we 
work, what skills we need, and how we balance our professional and 
family lives.
    The Department has made significant progress in its strategic and 
performance planning efforts and as it builds on this progress we look 
forward to your comments. We ask that comments be submitted within 30 
days of publication of this notice. The text of the draft strategic 
plan is available in a ``pdf'' downloadable format through the 
Department of Labor internet site: http://www.dol.gov/_sec/stratplan-draft/. For those who may not have internet access, a hard copy can be 
requested from the contact point, Veronica Campbell, 202-693-4069.

    Dated: June 10, 2003.
Patrick Pizzella,
Assistant Secretary for Administration and Management.
