## Independent Reviews

In February 2006, the Federal Office of Management and Budget (OMB) initiated a review of the CVPIA program using its Performance Assessment and Rating Tool (PART) process. Reclamation has been engaged in this process for the last 23 months, preparing responses to PART questions and OMB data requests.

In the process, OMB required Reclamation to develop performance goals for the CVPIA program and is now requiring completion of Improvement Plan actions that are to be completed in Fiscal Year (FY) 2007. OMB is also requiring completion of an Independent Evaluation of the CVPIA. Reclamation and the Service have decided to conduct the evaluations on the program elements related to fish restoration and refuges as these two elements represent a substantial portion of the annual Restoration Fund expenditures.

The two reviews will be conducted as separate processes and result in two reports with recommendations to the agencies on how to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the CVPIA fisheries and refuges programs.
