The Gov't. Performance and Results Act of 1993 seeks to improve the effectiveness, efficiency, and accountability of Fed. programs by establishing a system for agencies to set goals for program performance and to measure results. In 1998 a report summarized observations on agencies' plans and identified opportunities to improve the usefulness of future performance plans (PP). This report builds on those improve. opportunities by: identifying and describing practices that were applied in some PP that might improve the usefulness of all agencies' annual PP; and providing examples from agencies' FY 1999 PP that illustrate each practice.
