Subject: Management Scorecards

As requested in the October 5, 2005, memorandum from the Deputy
Assistant Secretary -- Performance, Accountability and Human Resources,
we have enclosed President's Management Agenda (PMA) scorecards for
Human Capital, Competitive Sourcing, E-Government, Financial Management
Improvement, Budget and Performance Integration, and Asset Management.

The following is a comparison of the PMA scorecards submitted in March
2005 and October 2005. Asset Management was not included in the March
scorecard process.

  ----------------------------------- ----------- -------- --------- ------------
  **PMA Item**                        **Score:             **Score   
                                      3/05/05**            10/17/    
                                                           05**      

  Human Capital *(Revised scorecard)* 7.8         Green    7.8       Green

  Competitive Sourcing                4.7         Yellow   5.3       Yellow

  Asset Management                    N/A         N/A      6.1       Yellow
  ----------------------------------- ----------- -------- --------- ------------

\*\* The 3/05/05 score for Budget and Performance Integration was 4.5
(Yellow). However, the Budget and Performance Scorecard was rescored on
6/17/05 and the score increased to 6.0 (Yellow). The primary reason for
the increase was due to the significant progress the Service made in
Activity-Based Costing. The following is a summary of the scoring for
the November 2005 PMA scorecards.

The [Competitive Sourcing]{.underline} scorecard was increased from 4.7
to 5.3 (Yellow). The increase was due primarily to increases in the
scores for: Criterion 1, Competitive Sourcing Program Leadership and
Team Structure and Criterion 2, FAIR Act Inventory Preparation. Under
Criterion 2, the score increased from 7 to 9, primarily due to the
progress made in developing a Servicewide IT system to better report the
inventory. For FY 2005, all Regions have input into the accuracy of the
FTE, coding the functions, justifying Commercial -- Reason Code A and
inherently governmental functions, and identifying vacancies.

The [Budget and Performance Integration score]{.underline} increased its
score from 6.0 (Yellow) in June to 6.5 (Yellow). Under Criterion 4, the
Service can now provide consistent information on all funding invested
in each activity output/outcome, including DOI end outcome measure
targets, on a quarterly basis. This information is prepared for the
Service's quarterly review meetings. Also, appraisal plans exist for all
SES and other positions for a total of 82% of all Service positions that
link to mission goals and outcomes.

The [Financial Management Improvement]{.underline} scorecard advanced
from 18 (Yellow) to 22 (Green). This achievement was primarily due to
the increase in points in Criterion 2, Provide Useful Financial and
Performance Information. The March 2005 point total for Criterion 2 was
1; the new total is 3. The scorecard reports that the Service continues
to use cost and performance data as key factors in the management
decision making process and budget formulation.

The [E-Government]{.underline} score increased from 5.3 (Yellow) in
March to 6.2 (Yellow). This most significant increases occurred in
Criterion 3B, Business Management -- IT Investment Management (score
increased from 4 to 6), and in Criterion 3.C, Business Management -- DOI
E-Gov Strategy (score increased from 3 to 5). Under 3B, the scorecard
reports that the FY 2007 capital planning submission was completed with
significant improvement in methodology and accounting for all IT costs.
Under Criterion 3C, the scorecard demonstrated that the Service had
greater participation in DOI's E-Gov Team and assumed a greater advisor
role to the DOI E-Gov coordinator and to the POB office.

The [Human Capital]{.underline} scorecard achieved a Green rating
(7.8/10), which is the same score achieved in March 2005. The revised
October scorecard consists of five Goals; the March scorecard contained
seven goals. The Service received an impressive 9/10 score for Workforce
Planning. Since the last scoring period, two mission critical programs,
Office of Law Enforcement and Fisheries have completed four phases of
the workforce plan. Two other major programs, National Wildlife Refuge
System and Endangered Specie are also engaged in workforce planning
processes. In addition, the Service scored higher than DOI and other
government-wide organizations in the Federal Human Capital Survey
question related to the recruitment of the right person with the right
skills.

The new [Asset Management]{.underline} scorecard received a 6.1 score
(Yellow). For Criterion 1, Produce Accurate and Complete Inventory and
Report to Federal Real Property Profile, the program achieved a 9/10.
The Service was able to report inventory of 61-99% assets at the
constructed level to the Department. The score for Criterion 2,
Performance Measure Utilization was 8/10. Here, the Service has complete
utilization data for 70-100% of the five required real property
categories. The Service has 4,978 assets that require utilization data,
only 167 are currently blank.

Copies of all the scorecards were transmitted by Email to your office on
October 25, 2005.
