M a n a g e m e n t D i s c u s s i o n a n d A n a l y s i s One of the Bureau of Industry and Security’s (BIS) key tasks is to either prevent illegal exports or to charge export violators. To that end, a key performance measure for BIS is the “Number of actions that results in a deterrence or prevention of a violation and cases which result in a criminal and/or administrative charge.” BIS has consistently met its targets while raising the targets from year to year. BIS has also consistently maintained an effective export control system, a key to which is the processing of export licenses and the timely issuance of regulations regarding export activity. BIS has consistently met its targets in these areas. As noted earlier, BIS published an export policy rule involving China that will facilitate U.S. exports to civilian enterprises in China while ensuring that sensitive U.S. technologies do not increase Chinese military capabilities. Both the Census Bureau and BEA consistently provide statistical data to the U.S. public in a timely manner. The Census Bureau rarely misses deadlines (it didn’t this year) for producing data and is currently on track to complete a re-engineered short-form only census in 2010. Likewise, for the past six years, BEA has not missed a release date for various economic data, a total of 314 scheduled releases over that period. BEA has also accurately predicted the GDP estimates over the past eight years. For a more detailed description of this measure see www.osec.doc.gov/bmi/budget/08CJB/esa.pdf. As a measure of customer satisfaction, the Census Bureau strives to meet or exceed the aggregate federal score on the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI). S T R A T E G I C G O A L 1 Since 1999, the Bureau has been below the aggregate score only twice (2000 and 2001). Each year BEA conducts a customer satisfaction survey with a goal of achieving greater than a 4.0 (on a five point scale). BEA Number has consistently of Targets exceeded that goal, most recently achieving a 4.3. 17 Blue exceeded performance target 4 Green S t r a t e g i c G o a l 2 met performance target Yellow 30 almost met performance target Foster science and technological leadership by protecting intellectual property (IP), enhancing Red technical standards, did not meet performance target and advancing measurement science Most Important Results 18 In FY 2007, the Department met or exceeded 95 percent of the targets it had set for the year. Some of the significant S T R A T E G I C G O A L 2 accomplishments and impacts that the Department had on the Number of Targets U.S. public include the following: Blue 12 exceeded performance target 1 The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) 1 Green met performance target Standard Reference Materials (SRM) are among the most widely distributed and used products from NIST. The Agency prepares, analyzes and distributes well over a thousand different materials that are used throughout the world to check the accuracy of instruments and test procedures used in manufacturing, clinical chemistry, environmental monitoring, electronics, criminal forensics, and dozens of other fields. 27 Yellow almost met performance target Red did not meet performance target S T R A T E G I C G O A L 3 Each year the National Research Council (NRC) evaluates approximately half of the NIST laboratory programs, including making Number of Targets recommendations for improvements while citing excellent performance. Typically, NIST laboratory programs have consistently done well in these reports. The NRC issued their FY 2007 assessment reports of the Electronics Blue and Electrical Engineering 4 exceeded performance target Laboratory, the Chemical Sciences and Technology Laboratory, the 1Information Technology Laboratory and the NIST Center for Green Neutron Research. Their assessments attest to NIST’s high quality programs, relevance of work to national met priorities performance and targetimpressive technical merit. 25 Yellow almost met performance target Red did not meet performance target F Y 2 0 0 7 P E R F O R M A N C E A N D A C C O U N T A B I L I T Y R E P O R T
