develop a Strategic Plan describing the 

agency’s mission, strategic goals, and 

those means and strategies that will be 

used to achieve the agency’s mission for 

the current and next five years. The plan 

must, additionally, describe the 

relationship between annual 

performance goals and the agency’s

report attainment of goals and 

objectives.
