**GOAL**
**RESOURCE USE**

**	****	****END OUTCOME GOAL**
**Manage or Influence Resource Use to Enhance Public Benefit, Promote Responsible Use, **
**and Ensure Optimal Value-****ENERGY**

**      ****STRATEGY: Intermediate Outcome**
**UIO.1.1) Effectively manage&provide incentives for access&Development**
**UIO.1.2) Enhance Responsible Use Management Practices**
**UIO.1.3) Effective Lease and Permit Management**
**	****	****N/A to USGS**

**      ****STRATEGY: Intermediate Outcome**
**UIO.1.1) Effectively manage&provide incentives for access&Development**
**UIO.1.2) Enhance Responsible Use Management Practices**
**UIO.1.3) Effective Lease and Permit Management**
**	****	****N/A to USGS**

**      ****STRATEGY: Intermediate Outcome**

**Uout.1.4.b) #of Long-term data collections maintained**
**Uout.1.4.c) #of formal workshops or training provided to customers**
**Uout.1.4.d) #Decision-making support systems maintained**

**DOI OUTPUT:**
**Energy Research Products**

**DOI ACTIVITY:**
**Conduct Energy Research**

## USGS ABC MAPPING

**USGS has certain efforts or ‘Projects’ that are funded from multiple Goals as well as multiple disciplines (budget line items)**
**Problem not yet resolved:**
**All projects need to demonstrate accountabilty, meaning only a “fraction” of a particular output could be attributed to each of the Goals and/or Disciplines.....**
**ABC begs association of one output to one goal to one $, who gets credit?**

**ANOMALY:**

**END OUTCOME GOAL: **
**Advancing Knowledge**

**RESULTS FOR THIS EFFORT ARE ASSOCIATED WITH  THREE DIFFERENT GOALS**

**GOAL: RESOURCE USE**
**END OUTCOME GOAL: Energy**

**GOAL: RESOURCE PROTECTION**

**OUTPUTS = 6 contributions to ONE output cannot be counted 6 times.  All share in the development of the one output.**
**COSTS = actual labor and other expense(OE).  The costs can be captured because they are tied  to the account and therefore labor and OE are being charged  to work being done regardless of the OUTPUT.**
