  **In order to successfully address this area of the exhibit 300,      
  performance goals must be provided for the agency and be linked to

  agency\'s mission and strategic goals, and performance measures must  
  be provided. These goals need to map to the gap in the agency\'s      
  strategic goals and objectives this investment is designed to fill.   
  They are the internal and external performance benefits this          
  investment is expected to deliver to the agency (e.g., improve        
  efficiency by 60 percent, increase citizen participation by 300       
  percent a year to achieve an overall citizen participation rate of 75 
  percent by FY 2xxx, etc.). The goals must be clearly measurable       
  investment outcomes, and if applicable, investment outputs. They do   
  not include the completion date of the module, milestones, or         
  investment, or general goals, such as, significant, better, improved  
  that do not have a quantitative or qualitative measure.**             

  **Agencies must use Table 1 below for reporting performance goals and

| **\'Internal\' reuse is within an agency. For example, one agency   |   |

| one agency within a department reusing a service component provided |   |
| by another agency in another department. A good example of this is  |   |
| an E-Gov initiative service being reused by multiple organizations  |   |
