> performance targets and the Washington program offices will review,
> accept, or reject the Regional targets, as outlined in the Timeframe
> table.

> Please note that the Service will set FY 2008 performance measure
> targets for the GPRA measures in the DOI Management Excellence (ME)
> mission area. These measures are identified in EP with the responsible
> reporting office, i.e., AD-Business Management Operations (BMO), AD-
> Information Resources Technology Management (IRTM), and AD-Budget
> Planning and Human Resources (BPHR). The Planning office is meeting
> with these offices to determine which measures are solely Region 9
> responsibilities and which measures require Regional contributions. As
> soon as the responsibilities are determined, the Planning office will
> send another ME clarification email. So, when EP opens on Monday,
> 10/29, ignore the ME measures and enter targets for all other
> measures.
>
> There are two new other ME measures we discussed in the conference
> call. (1) [Percent of organizations that have trained and developed
> employees in collaboration and partnering competencies,]{.underline}
> (52.1.16). The 2008 target for this measure will be set by Region 9
> (NCTC); the Regions will not participate in this measure. (2) [Percent
> of conservation projects that actively involve the use of knowledge
> and skills of people in the area, and local resources in priority
> setting, planning, and implementation processes]{.underline}
> (52.1.17). The Planning office will issue guidance to the Washington
> and Regional offices for entering 2008 targets for this measure.
>
> Hatcheries FCI measures will be entered by Region 9 and will be
> reviewed by the Regional offices.
>
> Most of the Refuge performance targets will be set in RAPP and then
> exported to Enterprise Planner.
