This letter responds to your request for data on the implementation 
of the recommendations contained in the National Performance 
Review's (NPR) September 7, 1993, report.1  Specifically, you asked 
that we identify the extent to which each of the report's 384 
recommendations had been implemented at the time we gathered 
preliminary data on NPR results in June and July 1994.  You also 
asked that we identify which of the recommendations were related to 
federal program areas that we and OMB have designated as "high-
risk."2

Better and Costs Less, report of the National Performance Review, 
Vice President Al Gore, September 7, 1993. 

2\See Improving Government:  Actions Needed to Sustain and Enhance 
Management Reforms (GAO/T-OCG-94-1, Jan. 27, 1994) for a 
description of the GAO high-risk areas.  See the Budget of the 
United States Government, Fiscal Year 1995: Analytical 
Perspectives, pp. 273-298 for a description of the OMB high-risk 
areas.

B-255769.2

We have scheduled another round of data gathering to begin later 
this month, 1 year after the publication of the NPR report.  We 
plan to issue our report on the first-year implementation results 
of NPR's recommendations in November or December.  Because 
implementation actions have likely occurred since the June and July 
timeframe, the data presented in this letter will probably change 
to some extent.  Therefore, these data should be viewed as 
preliminary. 

We placed each of the 384 NPR recommendations into 1 of 6 
implementation categories.  Those categories, their definitions, 
and the number of recommendations in each as of the June and July 
1994 timeframe are as follows: 

(1)  Fully Implemented.  The entire recommendation and/or all
     action items in a related accompanying report have been
     fulfilled.3  (11 recommendations)

(2)  Partially Implemented.  The recommendation and/or all
     associated action items have been implemented in part but
     not in total.  (95 recommendations)

(3)  Not Implemented--Action Taken.  No part of the
     recommendation or associated action items have been
     implemented, but some action has occurred toward the
     implementation of the recommendation and/or the action
     items.  For example, if legislation has been introduced that
     would address the recommendation but has not been enacted
     into law, we categorized the recommendation as "not
     implemented--action taken."  (228 recommendations)

(4)  Not Implemented--No Action Taken.  No part of the
     recommendation or associated action items have been
     implemented, and no action has occurred toward the
     implementation of the recommendation or the action items. 
     (33 recommendations)

(5)  Insufficient Information.  Insufficient or conflicting
     evidence prevented us from determining the status of
     implementation.  (14 recommendations)

(6)  Other.  Implementation action has occurred that, while not
     responsive to the letter of the recommendation, is generally
     consistent with its purpose.  (3 recommendations)

                  

3\As of September 2, 1994, NPR has issued 25 accompanying reports 
that describe their recommendations and list actions that would 
implement them.

B-255769.2

We also determined whether each of the NPR recommendations was 
related to a GAO- or an OMB-designated high-risk area.  Any 
recommendation that would affect a high-risk area in any way was 
considered related, even if the relationship was slight. The 
preliminary data indicated that 21 of the 384 NPR recommendations 
were related to at least 1 of the GAO-designated high-risk areas 
and 42 recommendations were related to at least 1 OMB-designated 
high-risk area.  Conversely, 13 of the 18 GAO designated high-risk 
areas and 34 of the 84 OMB-designated high-risk areas were related 
to at least 1 NPR recommendation.  

The enclosure shows the implementation status of each NPR 
recommendation as of the June and July 1994 timeframe and whether 
we believe the recommendation is related to a GAO- or an OMB-
designated high-risk area.  If you have any questions regarding 
this report or our ongoing review of NPR implementation, please 
call me on (202) 512-8676.
