AndreaBozzo/ceres-open-data-index huggingface dataset:
DM - Percentage of Normal Priority PARs Completed on Time

This indicator describes a major service that ES provides to its customer base via the HR Tower -- that being the timely processing of Personnel Action Requests (PARs) which are used to accommodate all categories of pay and non-pay related personnel changes for in-scope bureau employees. Examples include (but are not limited to) interim appointments, return-toduty, change-in-duty station, cash awards, relocation incentive, locality pay, and many others. The sources for these data are: Treasury HR system (HRConnect); NFC Payment system (PAYE and subsystems); ES ServiceNow system; and the ES Tableau Data.
DM - Percentage of Acquisitions with a cumulative value over $250K Completed in 120 Days or Less

This indicator describes a major service that ES provides to its customer base via the Acquisition Tower -- that being the delivery of supplies and/or services from requirements submission to final contract award (i.e., the full procurement cycle). 100% <= 120 Days. The sources for these data are the C. Suite System (Procurement Action Lead Time Report) and the ES Tableau Data Environment.
DM - Improve the Department’s Federal Information Technology Reform Act (FITARA) score

The House Committee on Oversight and Reform (COR) grades agencies implementation of key pieces of legislation: FITARA, Modernizing Government Technology (MGT) Act, and Federal Information Security Modernization Act (FISMA) based on selected scoring methodologies for areas from a wide range of options, then the COR tasks the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to collect and score the information according to the COR's direction. The Agency data sets GAO uses are generally publicly available and regularly updated and from which the COR derives an overall Bi-annual letter grade/score of: A, B, C, D or F - (0.0=F) to (4.0=A).
DM - For each administrative / business system, score for maintaining compliance and alignment with OMB initiatives

This indicator reflects the requirement to maintain compliance and alignment with OMB initiatives, including the guiding principles reflected in the OMB system modernization requirements (split projects into smaller, simpler segments with clear deliverables; focus on most critical needs first; and provide ongoing, transparent project oversight) data center consolidation requirements, and cloud computing requirements (Infrastructure as a Service; Software as a Service). A Score of "1" indicates compliance. A Score of "0" indicates non-compliance. The data is a subjective rating based on the Department’s interactions with OMB, Treasury, and GSA regarding the modernization of the Department's financial, acquisition, and property management systems.
DM - Dollars (Percentage) awarded using high-risk contracting authorities

This element/indicator measures the Department’s progress in managing risk through reducing the use of high-risk contracting authorities. High-risk contracting authorities, such as noncompetitive contracting, cost-reimbursement contracts, and time-and materials and labor-hour contracts, pose special risks of overspending. The Department’s high-risk contracting percentage for the base year (FY2009) was 53.4%, and OMB directed that we maintain a 10% reduction from the FY 2009 based on the share of dollars obligated under new contract actions that use high-risk contracting authorities for future FYs. The Department's target is 46.9%, which is a 10% reduction from the FY 2009 base. The target is depicted as a percentage. A percentage equal to or lower than 46.9% is favorable. Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS) is the data source that is used for information pertaining to high-risk contracting activities and is the single source for U.S. government-wide procurement data.
DM - Audit Opinion Score

This indicator reflects the result of the Financial Statement Audit. The goal is to receive an “unmodified” audit opinion. There are several types of audit opinions: (1) unmodified, in which the Auditor concludes that the Financial Statements give a true and fair view in accordance with the financial reporting framework used for the preparation and presentation of the Financial Statements [SCORE = 1]; (2) modified, in which the Auditor encounters a situation that does not comply with generally accepted accounting principles, however, the rest of the financial statements are fairly presented [SCORE = -1]; and (3) disclaimer, which is issued when the Auditor cannot form, and refuses to present, an opinion on the financial statements [SCORE = 0].
Census - Produce new data and information products through The Opportunity Project using rapid technology development sprints

The Opportunity Project is a data product accelerator led by the Census Bureau, which catalyzes industry innovation using open data from the Census Bureau’s current survey programs. Through collaborative technology sprints, the project brings together government, data, policymakers, the technology industry, and communities to rapidly prototype solutions to our greatest economic challenges, including access to jobs, stimulating economic development, and access to quality education.
Census - Percentage of new or expanded data products released as scheduled

Experimental data products are innovative statistical products created using new data sources or methodologies that benefit data users in the absence of other relevant products. The development of experimental data is one important path towards the creation of new, regularly occurring statistical products. When resources permit, experimental data products that meet our quality standards and demonstrate sufficient user demand may enter regular production and will be published via https://www.census.gov/data/experimental-data-products.html.
Census - On-time delivery of data products from the High Frequency Data program that measure the impact of significant events in near-real time

In response to the unprecedented circumstances presented by COVID-19 and the urgent need for data, the U.S. Census launched two new experimental “pulse” surveys to measure temporal social and economic trends in the Nation’s small businesses and households during this crisis. This program expands the Census Bureau’s capability to conduct these types of surveys, to include the Business Trends and Outlook Survey (BTOS), which provides for an ongoing collection of high frequency, timely, and granular information about current economic conditions and trends, as well as the impact of national, subnational, or sector-level shocks on business activity.
Census - Number of Frames critical milestones met

The Frames Program will enhance and link the Census Bureau's four primary frames (Business Frame, Demographic Frame, Geospatial Frame, and Job Frame) to facilitate more efficient and effective exchange and use of data throughout the enterprise. The enterprise-wide linked frames will be agile in structure, accessible for production or research on a need-to-know basis, and that adhere to best practices in terms of technology usage, data management, and methodology.
BIS - Percent of licenses requiring interagency referral referred within nine days

Generally, export license applications for dual-use items (products that may have both civilian and military applications) and munitions items transferred from the United States Munitions List (USML) to the new 600-Series Commerce Control List (CCL) fall into two categories: 1) referred licenses, including those licenses requiring a recommendation from another agency e.g., Departments of Defense, State, and Energy, and where appropriate other U.S. government departments or agencies) thus the name “referred licenses;” and 2) non-referred licenses, which are those license requests BIS may review or approve without being referred to any other federal agency.
BIS - Percent of licenses requiring Information Triage Unit (ITU) report completed by Export Enforcement (EE) within ten Executive Order (EO) days of referral

The Information Triage Unit (ITU), for which Export Enforcement (EE) provides the majority of intelligence product outputs, drafts bona fides information reports on foreign transaction parties to license applications. The reports are requested at the direction of a licensing officer or may be self-selected by EE. EE must, within the established Executive Order (EO) timeframe, complete such reports in 10 days from referral to enable timely interagency review of license applications. This metric is designed to measure the effectiveness of BIS in meeting the target of completing 90% of ITU reports produced by EE within 10 days of referral.
BIS - Percent of electronic export information (EEI) transactions reported in the Automated Export System (AES) in compliance with the Export Administration Regulations (EAR)

This indicator evaluates how effective the BIS export control system is in ensuring items exported and reported as electronic export information transactions in the Automated Export System (AES) comply with the Export Administration Regulations (EAR). BIS will measure exporter EAR compliance by reviewing, on a quarterly and annual basis, the entire compilation of export transactions under BIS jurisdiction (i.e., BIS licensed, license exception and No License Required Shipments), and determine their EAR compliance percentage following any BIS intervention, as necessary
BIS - Percent of declarations received from U.S. industry in accordance with CWC time lines that are processed in time for the U.S. to meet treaty obligations

The Chemical Weapon Convention (CWC) establishes a verification regime (e.g., declaration requirements, on-site inspections, and trade restrictions) for weapons-related toxic chemicals and precursors that have peaceful applications. BIS CWC regulations require a U.S. industry exceeding certain chemical activity thresholds to submit declarations and reports. BIS processes, validates, and aggregates the declarations and reports, to develop the U.S. CWC Industrial Declaration, which is forwarded to the State Department, within time frames mandated under the CWC, and to submit it to the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW).
BIS - Percent of attendees rating seminars highly

This metric is designed to measure the overall effectiveness of the entire export control outreach seminar program. Given the volume of trade from the United States, informing U.S. and foreign businesses of the requirements of the EAR is a critical component of our export control system. The target is for at least 93% of the seminar attendees to give the seminar an overall rating of at least 4 (out of a 5 level scale).
BIS - Number of external stakeholders engaged with the aim of increasing diversity among U.S. exporters

This metric will measure BIS's success in reaching the diverse members of the exporting community, including small businesses and underserved community members. As anyone exporting dual-use or less sensitive military items out of the United States is subject to the Export Administration's requirements, BIS has a responsibility to try and reach as many of these parties as possible. Effective outreach efforts by BIS will increase the overall level f exports and ensure that a higher percentage of exports are completed in compliance with export control law and regulations.
BIS - Number of export transactions completed under the new authority of Commerce export licenses and license exceptions

Export Control Reform (ECR) has moved tens of thousands of items -- mostly parts and components -- from the U.S. Munitions List to the more flexible Commerce Control List. The move has enabled more nuanced distinctions among technologies, destinations, and end users than under the State Department's International Traffic in Arms Regulations. BIS will track shipments of such items made under the Automated Export System.
BIS - Number of end-use checks completed

A key element of BIS policy formulation and implementation toward other key countries is conducting end-use checks (EUCs) to verify that targeted dual-use exports will be or have been used properly by the appropriate end-users. EUCs consist of both pre-license checks (PLC) and post shipment verifications (PSVs). PLCs are used to determine if an overseas person or firm is a suitable party to a transaction involving controlled U.S. origin goods or technical data. A PSV confirms whether goods exported from the U.S. actually were received by the party named on the license or other export documentation, and whether the goods are being used consistent with the provisions of that license.
BIS - Number of actions resulting in a deterrence or prevention of a violation, and cases resulting in a criminal or administrative charge

This performance indicator captures the number of Export Enforcement deterrence actions, cases resulting in a prevention of a violation, criminal or administrative actions, and administrative settlement orders. The number will reflect the actual number and type of preventive enforcement actions conducted, including: detentions of suspect exports, seizures of unauthorized shipments, industry outreach, issuance of warning letters, recommended denials of license applications based on enforcement concerns, and recommendations for parties to be added to the Entity List and Unverified List.
BIS - Median processing time for new regime regulations (months)

Changes to regime control lists have been agreed to by the members of the multilateral regimes, who are the U.S. export control partners. If those changes result in tighter controls, they must be implemented to address national security or proliferation concerns, and if they result in liberalizations, they must be implemented to ensure that U.S. industry is not disadvantaged vis-à-vis our allies. Therefore, it is important to refer the draft multilateral changes for interagency review in three months or less from plenary meeting dates in order to meet our multilateral obligations, maximize U.S. competitiveness, and enable economic growth for American industries, workers, and consumers. Effective and efficient adaptation of export controls advances responsible economic growth and trade while protecting American security.
BEA - Timeliness: On-time release of economic statistics

The importance of data as an ingredient for sound economic decision-making requires BEA to deliver data to decision-makers and other data users not only quickly but also reliably—that is, on schedule. Each fall, BEA publishes a schedule for the release of its economic data the following year; this measure is evaluated as the number of scheduled releases issued on time. BEA has an outstanding record of releasing its economic data on schedule.
Accuracy of Day 1 precipitation forecasts (%)

Precipitation forecasts and other foundational general weather guidance developed by the Weather Prediction Center are used extensively by the weather enterprise. This performance measure tracks the ability of the weather forecasters of NOAA’s Weather Prediction Center (WPC) to predict accurately the occurrence of one inch or more of precipitation (rain or the water equivalent of melted snow or ice pellets) twenty-four hours in advance across the contiguous U.S. This information is used by government entities, economic sectors, and the general public to manage daily lives and activities and make resource decisions.
48 hour Hurricane Forecast track error (nautical miles)

The public, private sectors, emergency managers, and government institutions at all levels in this country and abroad use NOAA tropical cyclone forecasts to make decisions regarding the protection of life and property. This goal measures the difference between the projected and actual location of the center of tropical cyclones in nautical miles (nm) for the Atlantic Basin, averaged over all the 48- hour forecasts occurring during the calendar year (CY). * Data for a given CY are not available until April of the following CY.
NOAA - Annual number of OAR R&D products transitioned to a new stage(s) (development, demonstration, or application)

The measure captures the count of significant and discrete OAR research and development products that have transitioned to development, demonstration, or an application. Products include transitions occurring within OAR and applying group(s) outside of OAR. This includes research, development, and demonstration performed and supported by OAR as well as utilization of OAR R&D products by external parties.
OIG - Percent of investigative cases referred for criminal, civil, or administrative action

The indicator measures the extent to which OIG investigations result in credible information for prosecutors or Department management to consider remedies related to the investigations. It is computed by dividing the number of investigative cases completed in the fiscal year that were referred for criminal, civil, or administrative action, or where allegations were unfounded by the total number of investigative cases that were completed. Investigative cases are case files opened to investigate an alleged violation of a federal criminal or civil statute or regulation/policy. Referred for criminal, civil, or administrative action means that the investigation developed enough evidence of a violation and was taken to a criminal or civil prosecutor (typically an Assistant United States Attorney) for prosecutorial consideration or referred to Department management for consideration of administrative action. This data is maintained in OIG's Case Management System.
OIG - Percent of Hotline complaints related to DOC that are evaluated and referred for appropriate action within 30 days

The indicator measures the timeliness of actions taken to address Hotline compaints. It is computed by dividing the number of DOC-related complaints that are evaluated and referred within 30 days by the total number of DOC-related complaints received. Hotline complaints are submissions to the OIG Hotline that present allegations of fraud, waste, abuse, or mismanagement affecting DOC programs, operations, or personnel. They can be received via online web submissions, phone calls, emails, faxes, or in person visits. Appropriate action includes investigations, requests for assistance or proactive monitoring, audits, referrals to DOC operating units, and referrals to external entities. This data is maintained in OIG's Case Management System.
NTIS - Yearly average number of days required to complete public-private projects (or Government- Industry projects) entered into under the Joint Venture Authority

The indicator measures the average number of days required by NTIS to fully execute the agreements on a per project basis between NTIS' Joint Venture Partners (JVPs) and Federal, State, and Local Agencies on a yearly basis. The lower the number of days required to fully execute a Joint Venture Authority agreement between NTIS, its Joint Venture Partners, and Federal, State, and Local Agencies, the more investments made by the Federal Government in technology.
NTIS -Total investment by the Federal Government on new public-private projects (or Government- Industry projects) entered into under the Joint Venture Authority per year

The indicator measures the value, in U.S. Dollars, of all project agreements between NTIS' Joint Venture Partners ( JVPs) and Federal Agencies facilitated by NTIS in a given year. By tracking the obligated values, this indicator shows the actual Federal Government investment in technology and data analytics development under the Joint Venture Authority.
NTIS - Number of new public-private projects (or Government-Industry projects) entered into under the Joint Venture Authority per year

The indicator measures the number of new projects between NTIS' Joint Venture Partners (JVPs) and Federal, State, and Local Agencies that were facilitated by NTIS in a given year. These public-private projects show the trend of both investments in technology development and building new connections throughout the supply chain. NTIS delivers benefit to the public by advancing Federal data priorities, promoting economic growth, and enabling operational excellence.
NTIA - Percentage of timely implementation of Presidential Memorandum over 5 years

Pursuant to the Presidential Memorandum, NTIA will modernize the current spectrum access ecosystem by: 1) Documenting current spectrum use and future requirements 2) Establishing the data and tools needed to automate spectrum management functions and securely make them as transparent and predictable as practicable 3) Updating spectrum access policies to provide greater flexibility and incentivize efficiency 4) Enhancing spectrum enforcement mechanisms 5) Pursuing workforce development initiatives that are critical to long-term success.
NTIA - NTIA Spectrum IT Modernization

The Spectrum IT Modernization program’s primary goal is to update the National Telecommunications and Information Administration’s (NTIA’s) outdated spectrum IT systems with evolved tools, processes, and data in order to improve capabilities used to manage NTIA and federal agencies’ radio frequency use and support NTIA efforts to make spectrum more available for government and commercial users. This measure tracks overall completion of acquisition and development activities for the Spectrum IT Modernization.
NTIA - In coordination with DOC operating units, conduct outreach activities with government, industry, and multistakeholders groups to identify and address privacy and global free flow of information issues

Partner with stakeholders from industry, consumer groups, government, academia, and technical community to work towards crafting a consensus on privacy and global free flow of information issues. NTIA will seek public input and comments to lay the groundwork for these challenges. NTIA’s role is not to substitute its judgment for the views of stakeholders, but rather will ensure the process is open, transparent, and consensus-based.
NTIA - Implementation of the National Spectrum Strategy

NTIA led development of the National Spectrum Strategy (NSS) and associated Implementation Plan (I-Plan). A whole-of-nation effort, the NSS artfully manages to promote expansion of commercial technologies and economic growth while preserving critical federal missions including national defense, homeland security and public safety, environmental, space communications and exploration, and other scientific advancements. This KPI measures NTIA's success in release of the NSS and I-Plan and then leading interagency implementation of the NSS by tracking the meeting of deadlines or milestones for that year, including as laid out in the I-Plan as well as any new ones subsequently established.
NOAA - U.S. Temperature Forecasts Skill 1.0 (old observational dataset)

Seasonal outlooks are used by sectors of the U.S. economy, such as energy, agriculture, transportation, etc. as one factor in resource decision making. Seasonal outlooks are reported as the probability of temperature being above normal, near normal, below normal or, where no definite seasonal guidance can be provided, equal chances. The seasonal outlooks are the cumulative skill calculated for regions where predictions are made. These forecasts are verified using a 48 month running mean of Heidke Skill score computed for seasonal outlooks for each 3-month seasonal mean (e.g., January-February-March mean; February-March-April mean; March-April-May mean; and so on).
NOAA - Total FY OMAO milestones met to improve Diversity Equity and Inclusion (DEI)

This indicator's milestones/targets will complete the development of an OMAO DEI Implementation Plan as a critical step in establishing DEI awareness and activities within the entire OMAO organization. OMAO established its DEI Advisory Council, chaired by the OMAO DAA for Programs and Administration, comprising twelve (12) individuals across OMAO’s centers and divisions. All members are currently enrolled in the e-Cornell Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion certification program and are on track to complete their certifications. The DEI Implementation Plan will be monitored and updated to ensure OMAO leadership can identify successes, target areas for improvement and adjust the Plan's contents to better scope and emphasize it's direction.
