2017 Survey of Organizational Performance and Management Issues
United States Government Accountability Office
Department of the Interior (Interior)
This section of the supplement presents the responses provided by mid-level and upper-level managers and supervisors at Interior to the questions on the survey, along with the 95 percent confidence interval around those results. In addition to the agency responses, we also provide the overall government-wide estimates (these government-wide estimates include the responses of managers at Interior). Although respondents were asked to provide written comments to open-ended questions, these responses are not provided here. We obtained responses from 133 managers and supervisors at Interior, for a weighted response rate of approximately 72 percent of the eligible sample. Government-wide, 2,726 responded to our survey, a weighted response rate of 67 percent. However, because of variation in the skip patterns associated with some questions and respondents choosing not to answer certain questions, the number of people who responded to each question varied.

When we refer to "your agency" in a question, we are referring to the governmental component where
you work. This could be:
• An independent agency (e.g., the Environmental Protection Agency).
• A cabinet-level department (e.g., the Department of Transportation). If you work for offices that support the
Secretary of your department, please consider the cabinet-level department as "your agency."
• A major component of that cabinet-level department (e.g., the Federal Aviation Administration, the Army, or the
Internal Revenue Service). If you are employed by a cabinet-level department but actually work in a major component
of that department, please consider the major component as "your agency."

Section 5a - Cross-Agency Priority Goals
Please note:
Federal government cross-agency priority goals, also referred to as crosscutting goals, require the collaboration of multiple agencies to achieve the goals.
The Administration has identified 15 cross-agency priority goals that were published concurrently with the Fiscal Year 2015 Budget of the U.S. Government.
The cross-agency priority goals include:
(1) Cybersecurity: Improve cybersecurity performance through ongoing awareness of information security, vulnerabilities, and threats impacting the operating
information environment, ensuring that only authorized users have access to resources and information; and the implementation of technologies and processes that
reduce the risk of malware.
(2) Climate Change: More than double Federal government consumption of electricity from renewable sources to 20% by 2020 and improve energy efficiency at Federal
facilities as part of the wider strategy to reduce the Federal Government's direct greenhouse gas emissions by 40 percent by 2025 (2008 baseline).
(3) Insider Threat and Security Clearance Reform: Mitigate the inherent risks and vulnerabilities posed by personnel with trusted access to government information,
facilities, systems, and other personnel.
(4) Job-Creating Investment: Improve federal investment tools and resources, while also increasing interagency coordination, to encourage foreign direct investment,
spurring job growth.
(5) Infrastructure Permitting Modernization: Modernize the Federal permitting and review process for major infrastructure projects to reduce uncertainty for project
applicants, reduce the aggregate time it takes to conduct reviews and make permitting decisions by half, and produce measurably better environmental and community outcomes.
(6) Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) Education: Improve Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Education by implementing the Federal STEM
Education 5-Year Strategic Plan, announced in May 2013, specifically:
• Improve STEM instruction
• Increase and sustain youth and public engagement in STEM
• Enhance STEM experience of undergraduate students
• Better serve groups historically under-represented in STEM fields
• Design graduate education for tomorrow's STEM workforce
• Build new models for leveraging assets and expertise
• Build and use evidence-based approaches
(7) Service Members and Veterans Mental Health: Improve mental health outcomes for Service Members, Veterans and their Families
(8) Customer Service: Deliver world-class customer services to citizens by making it faster and easier for individuals and businesses to complete transactions and
have a positive experience with government.
(9) Smarter IT Delivery: Improve outcomes and customer satisfaction with Federal services through smarter IT delivery and stronger agency accountability for success.
(10) Category Management: Expand the use of high-quality, high-value strategic sourcing solutions in order to improve the government's buying power and reduce contract duplication.
(11) Shared Services: Strategically expand high-quality, high value shared services to improve performance and efficiency throughout government.
(12) Benchmark and Improve Mission-Support Operations: Improve administrative efficiency and increase the adoption of effective management practices by establishing cost and
quality benchmarks of mission-support operations and giving agency decision-makers better data to compare options, allocate resources, and improve processes.
(13) Open Data: Fuel entrepreneurship and innovation and improve government efficiency and effectiveness by unlocking the value of government data and adopting management
approaches that promote interoperability and openness of this data.
(14) Lab-to-Market: Increase the economic impact of Federally-funded research and development by accelerating and improving the transfer of new technologies from the
laboratory to the commercial marketplace.
(15) People and Culture: Innovate by unlocking the full potential of the workforce we have today and building the workforce we need for tomorrow.

Section 5b - Agency Priority Goals
Please Note:
Agency priority goals are a limited number of performance goals that advance progress towards the agency's strategic goals, near-term outcomes, and
improvements in customer responsiveness, or efficiencies. These goals are to reflect the highest priorities of the agency. Your
agency's priority goals as published concurrently with the Fiscal Year 2017 Budget of the U.S. Government are listed below. (Note: Some agencies may be in the process
of updating these goals.)
Please do not consider activities at the major component level (e.g., Federal Aviation Administration, Army, Internal Revenue Service).
Department of the Interior's Priority Goals
• Renewable Energy Resource Development.
Increase the approved capacity for production of energy from domestic renewable resources.
Support a growing economy and protect our national interests while reducing our dependence on foreign oil and climate-changing greenhouse gas emissions. By September 30, 2017,
increase approved capacity authorized for renewable (solar, wind, geothermal, and hydropower) energy resources affecting Department of the Interior managed lands, while ensuring full
environmental review, to at least 16,600 Megawatts (since the end of FY 2009).
• Water Conservation and Supply Enhancement.
Enable capability to increase the available water supply in the western states. Implement conservation-related programs to ensure adequate and safe water supplies.
By September 30, 2017, the Department of the Interior will facilitate the availability of water supplies employing conservation, efficiency, and technology in the western United States
through Bureau of Reclamation water conservation programs to 1,040,000 acre-feet cumulatively since the end of FY2009.
• Safer and More Resilient Communities in Indian Country.
Reduce the need for repeat incarcerations in Indian communities. By September 30, 2017, reduce rates of repeat incarceration in five target tribal communities by 3% through a
comprehensive "alternatives to incarceration" strategy that seeks to address underlying causes of repeat offenses, including substance abuse and social service needs, through tribal
and federal partnerships.
• Climate Change Adaptation Management.
Understand, communicate, and respond to the diversity of impacts associated with climate change to improve the resilience of the nation's communities, natural resources, and safeguard
our cultural heritage sites. By September 30, 2017, the Department of the Interior will mainstream climate change adaptation and resilience into program and regional planning, capacity
building, training, infrastructure, and external programs, as measured by scoring at least 300 of 400 points using the Strategic Sustainability Performance Plan scorecard.
• Engaging the Next Generation.
Build the next generation of conservation and community leaders by supporting youth employment at the Department of the Interior. By September 30, 2017, the Department of the Interior
will provide 100,000 work and training opportunities over four fiscal years (FY 2014 through FY 2017) for individuals age 15 to 35 to support Interior's mission.
• Oil and gas resource management.
Improve production accountability, safety, and environmental protection of oil and gas operations through increased inspection of high-risk oil and gas production cases. By September 30,
2017, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) will complete 100 percent of the inspections for federal and Indian potential high-risk oil and gas production cases annually to better ensure
accountability and safety.
• Monarch Butterfly and Other Pollinators Conservation.
Restore or enhance habitats to improve the health of the monarch butterfly and other pollinator populations that help sustain functioning ecosystems and the long-term productivity
of working agricultural lands. By September 30, 2017, the Department of the Interior (through the Fish & Wildlife Service) will double the acres of restored or enhanced habitat for
Monarch butterflies and other pollinators. (Doubling the number of acres restored or enhanced for Monarch butterflies and other pollinators by September 30, 2017 will result in a total
of 260,000 acres of agency land, private land, and state land restored or enhanced.)
• Enhancing Indian Education.
Improve the graduation rate of tribal high school students and facilitate tribal self-determination in shaping educational curriculum for students. By September 30, 2017, the Department
of the Interior will increase the percentage of tribal students attending bureau funded schools who complete high school with a regular diploma within four years of their 9th grade entry
date by 5% (relative to 2014-2015 school year) and convert 4 schools from bureau to tribal operated.

Section 5c - Quarterly Performance Reviews
Please Note:
Quarterly performance reviews, which some agencies refer to as "stat" meetings or data-driven performance reviews, are regular meetings held at the highest levels of your agency
to examine progress toward accomplishing agency priority goals, and in some cases, other agency performance goals.
These reviews should, among other things, assess agencies' coordination efforts; activities and contributions to goals; and strategies for improvement,
when applicable. Quarterly performance reviews are to involve key leadership and other relevant parties.
These reviews may be conducted more frequently than quarterly.
In the following questions, "quarterly performance reviews" refers to all aspects of these reviews, including preparation, review, and follow-up.
In the following question, "agency" refers only to your cabinet-level department (e.g., Department of Transportation) or independent agency (e.g., Environmental Protection Agency).
Please do not consider activities at the major component level (e.g., Federal Aviation Administration, Army, Internal Revenue Service).

Section 6 - Program Evaluation
Please note:
Program Evaluations are individual, systematic studies using research methods to assess how well
a program, operation or project is achieving its objectives and the reasons why it may, or may not, be performing
as expected. Program evaluations answer specific questions such as how well a program is operating, whether a
program is reaching targeted recipients, why a program is not achieving its desired outcomes, or whether one approach
is more effective than another.
Program evaluation as defined here does not include routine program monitoring activities or quarterly performance reviews.
