The metrics discussed in this report were outlined in the Department’s Congressional Budget Justifications and carried through the actual execution of the budget during the fiscal year. Since these metrics were created before final Congressional allocations, in some cases, the actual appropriation levels did not meet the Department’s request and may have affected the program’s ability to meet the proposed performance level. This report meets the requirements of the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) and the Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) requirements to report its performance annually under OMB Circular A-11. The presentation of this report differs from previous APRs because the Department is participating in the FY 2007 Pilot Program for Alternative Approaches to Performance Accountability Reporting (PAR Pilot). The goal of the pilot is to improve the quality and transparency of performance and financial reporting. The PAR Pilot gives the Department an alternative platform for presenting our performance information. In addition to making the reports easier to read, the report includes more detailed data and web links to assist the reader in finding additional information. The PAR Pilot will be published in three reporting components. • The Agency Financial Report (AFR) was published, distributed, and placed on the DOE website (www.cfo.doe.gov/cf1-2/2007parpilot.htm) on November 15, 2007. The AFR contains all of the required financial statements, accompanying notes, independent auditor’s report, Inspector General management challenges, and the Management Discussion and Analysis (MD&A), which includes an analysis of the financial statements, management controls and compliance information, as well as a high-level discussion of Departmental performance as it relates to DOE’s major priorities. • The Annual Performance Report (APR) focuses on detailed performance information including performance targets associated with the Department’s budget activities. The report discusses performance results including narrative descriptions of results by performance measure and references to supporting documentation, a clear, concise statement on high-level program challenges and benefits, and the status of all FY 2006 Unmet Measures. This report will be available on the Department of Energy’s website, www.Energy.gov, on February 4, 2008. • The Highlights Report summarizes the Department’s financial results and performance information. This report is a concise and readable document summarizing key results from the AFR and APR. It addresses both the successes and challenges for the Department. This report is available on DOE’s website as of February 1, 2008 and is web-linked to more comprehensive, publicly available information at www.ExpectMore.gov. In FY 2007, the Department had two sets of performance measures. One set was used in the Congressional budget justification and was tracked quarterly through the Department’s Joule system. A second set was tracked, in conjunction with OMB, through the Program Assessment Rating Tool (PART) process. The APR contains both sets of measures: • The “FY 2007 Performance Measures” section in the report contains the details associated with those measures used as part of the budget justification • The “PART Program FY 2007 Summary Table” provides links to the detailed assessment and specific performance measures tracked in PART. The Department improved the quality of its performance measures in FY 2007. Thirty percent of the Department’s FY 2008 performance measures were evaluated against a standard set of criteria. This analysis identified the Department’s need to develop performance measures that were more outcome focused and trendable. The Department used the results of this analysis to improve the quality of 34 of its FY 2008 performance measures. In addition, DOE and OMB worked together to align performance measures in the budget and PART. The two sets of measures assessed similar areas of program performance, but were not identical. DOE has resolved this by making the measures in PART and the 2009 budget documents match. In general, the Department was able to meet 80 percent of the FY 2007 targets it established for the Program Assessment and Rating Tool measures and 93 percent for the budget justification measures. 2 DOE Strategic Themes, Strategic Goals, and Supporting Offices The Department of Energy Strategic Plan has five (5) Strategic Themes, sixteen (16) Strategic Goals, and twenty-two (22) Supporting Offices. 3 Performance Summary Scorecard STRATEGIC PROGRAM FY 2007 GPRA UNIT PERFORMANCE GOALS 1 Budgetary THEMES COSTS GREEN YELLOW RED Expenditures (90% & ABOVE) FY 2007 FY 2006 (90% & ABOVE TO GET TO GREEN) Incurred2 1.1.1 Hydrogen/Fuel Cell Technologies G $36 7 0 0 1.1.2 Vehicles Technologies G $173 5 0 0 1.1.3 Solar Energy G $315 4 0 0 1.1.4 Wind Energy G $27 3 1 0 1.1.5 Geothermal Technology G $9 2 0 0 1.1.6 Biomass and Biorefinery Systems R&D G $87 5 0 0 1.1.7 DEMP/FEMP G $15 2 0 0 1.1.9 Natural Gas Technology G $28 1 0 0 1.1.11 Petroleum Reserves G $218 2 0 0 1.1.12 Energy Information Administration G $90 2 0 0 1.
