E-Government

E-Government is one of the five key elements in the President's Management Agenda to improve the management and services of the Federal government. The goals of the E-Government initiative are to use information technology to:

 

• Create single points of access for government services
• Share information more effectively with other agencies and with State, local, and Tribal governments
• Reduce reporting requirements
• Automate internal processes to reduce costs

 

 

Activity Based Costing (ABC)

 

PPP works closely with Interior's Deputy Assistant Secretary for Budget and Finance to assist Interior bureaus and offices in implementing activity based costing/management (ABC/M). ABC/M is a management tool that will help DOI better understand the costs of conducting business.

Management Initiatives Tracking System (MITS)

 

Interior's Management Inititatives Tracking System (MITS) is an interactive, web-based database designed to monitor Interior-wide bureau and office progress toward achieving management initiatives. The first version of the system was developed in 2002 as a means to track the Secretary's Citizen-Centered Governance Plan actions. These actions reflected Interior's plans for implementing the President's Management Agenda (PMA). The system was refined and augmented in 2003 with the inclusion of additional features and capabilities designed to the Secretary's Citizen Centered Governance Plan, Interior's Strategic Human Capital Management Plan implementation tasks and Management Initiatives Team priorities and tasks have been included in the system.

 

In 2003, a new module was added to the MITS that allows Interior bureaus and offices to enter and retrieve data and actions related to the Program Assessment Rating Tool (PART).

 

 

President's Management Agenda

 

PPP coordinates and monitors Interior’s progress toward achieving the President's Management Agenda goals for government-wide reform. In August 2001, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) released the PMA, a five-point plan to improve Federal management and program performance. The PMA targets the government’s most apparent deficiencies in core management capabilities where the opportunity to improve performance is the greatest, and it applies to every Department and agency. The five elements of the PMA are:

 

• Strategic Management of Human Capital
• Competitive Sourcing
• Improved Financial Performance
• Expanded Electronic Government
• Budget and Performance Integration

 

Each of these shares a goal of enhancing citizen-centered governance focused on delivering results that matter to the American public.

 

 

Program Assessment Rating Tool (PART)

 

PART is a standardized and systematic process for rating program performance that will then be used to help make budget decisions. PART can also help establish performance criteria for good government management and will be used in annual performance plans and reports required by the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA). OMB and Interior are working together to review 20% of DOI’s programs under the PART process each year until all programs are evaluated.
