SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Government Performance and Results Act requires the development of strategic plans and performance measures in the Federal government. It also requires that agencies review and update their strategic plans every three years.

The Review Commission continues to pursue its commitment to providing superior service to the public. This plan changes the 2000-2005 strategic goals and performance objectives. It maintains and revises the public service goal, and eliminate its two strategic goals—external and organizational. However, the Review Commission will continue to make the strategic goals a priority within the agency and its progress with respect to them will be monitored for effectiveness. The revised Strategic Plan is intended to focus on the Review Commission's primary public service mission and will enhance and improve the agency's effectiveness and public accountability.

Your comments on the revised Strategic Plan will be useful and will provide the agency with additional information to facilitate the agency's continued ability to provide superior public service.
