Performance Goals

The following performance goal table summarizes the performance goals, yearly targets and actual reported data for the Office of the Commissioner.

Long Term Goal: Strengthen the efficiency and effectiveness of program management through focused performance budget and financial management strategies, aligned with FDA and HHS business strategies.

2006

FDA will pilot an activity-based costing application integrated with HHS UFMS project as part of Prescription Drug User Fee Act III.  The UFMS and its FDA modules will be operational in FY 2005 allowing FDA's legacy system core financial system to be decommissioned during the first quarter of FY 2006.

Goal accomplished through various activities discussed under Performance text.

2005

FDA will implement a new core financial management system as part of the HHS UFMS project.  The General Ledger and the Payroll interface will be implemented Oct. 1, 2004, and the remaining modules will be implemented April 1, 2005. 

Goal accomplished through various activities discussed under Performance text.

2004

FDA will hold a conference room pilot to prototype the design and configuration of UFMS.  Begin development of FDA's unique interfaces and test global interfaces. 

Goal accomplished through various activities discussed under Performance text.

Data Source: FDA Office of Management & Systems, 2001 FAIR Act Inventory. The agency will rely on the data from the Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS). The sources encompassed in the General Ledger & Federal Administrator, the Purchasing & Accounts Payable; and the Accounts Receivable. These sources are being prepared to transition to the Financial Business solutions systems.

Data Validation: FDA will ensure consistency in the tracking and reporting of the administrative management performance goals.  In addition, FDA is taking steps to routinely monitor this data and take appropriate actions as needed.  Data is from a variety of sources for these performance goals including the Annual Chief Financial Officer's Report, Civilian and Commission Corps personnel databases, monthly and annual full-time equivalent (FTE) reports and data-runs, the FDA FAIR Act Inventory and the FY 2001 FDA Workforce Restructuring Plan, monthly statements from bank card companies and the FDA Small Purchase System.

Cross Reference: These performance measures support HHS Strategic Goal 8. Measures 1 and 2 are Efficiency Goals.

Long Term Goal: Improve the infrastructure for problem detection and product information dissemination, to strengthen consumer protection and take timely, effective risk management actions with all FDA-regulated products.

Cross Reference: These performance measures support Strategic Goal 2.

  1. Increase the number of Commercial FTE that will be reviewed for competitive sourcing.  (19003)
  1. FDA's Implementation of HHS' Unified Financial Management System.  (19017)
  1. Improve FDA's ability to respond quickly and efficiently to crises and emergencies that involve FDA regulated products. (19008)

The Network will be supported by an information technology infrastructure that will provide decision makers with quick access to emergency documents and information from all pertinent agency sources, as well as provide federal, state, local and international authorities with advisory information.

Other initiatives that enhance FDA's preparedness and response include:

In FY 2006, the Emergency Operations Center updated its technological infrastructure furthering the Agency's emergency preparedness capabilities in the event of a large-scale disaster or attack. Enhancements in FY 2006 and FY 2007 include the ability to communicate through video conferencing with more locations, and improved video display capabilities. The Office of Crisis Management continued to engage in partnerships and cooperative efforts resulting in drafting the HHS Strategic Exercise Plan and completing the Food and Agriculture Incident Annex to the National Response Plan. Continue to work with federal, state, local and international groups in emergency preparedness and response activities.

OCM also participated in the TOPOFF4 Command Post Exercise (CPX) in June 2006 and completed work on after action items from TOPOFF3 exercise.

FY 2005 Accomplishments: OCM issued the final version of FDA's Crisis Management Plan (Version 2.3) in March 2005. The plan provides the Agency with a structured methodology that enables FDA to respond to crisis situations that are beyond the capabilities of existing FDA emergency response resources. It incorporates elements describing the process by which the Agency identifies a crisis as well as the role of crisis communications in FDA's response to a crisis.

OCM participated fully in two major emergency preparedness and response exercises -- TOPOFF 3 and the HHS Public Affairs OPDIVs Exercise. As follow-up to TOPOFF 3 exercise, participated in three-day T3 Large Scale Game Exercise.
