DEFiniTion: Electronic collections data are retrieved from the CA$H-LINK system, which encompasses eight collection systems. 

inDiCAToR TYPE: Measure 

DATA CAPTURE AnD SoURCE: This measure considers the percentage of government collections that are collected by electronic mechanisms (Electronic Federal Tax Payment 

System, Plastic Card, FEDWIRE Deposit System, Automated Clearinghouse (ACH)) compared to total government collections. The system receives deposit and 

accounting information from local depositories and provides detailed accounting information to STAR, FMS’ central accounting and reporting system. 

DATA VERiFiCATion AnD VALiDATion: The agencies that report collections are responsible for ensuring the deposit reports are correct. Financial institutions and Federal 

agencies report deposits into the CA$H-LINK deposit reporting system using an Account Key which identifies the collection mechanism (lockbox, which is nonelectronic or ACH, electronic) through which the collection was made. FMS analysts gather deposit information from CA$H-LINK reports and then report totals 

and percentages on a monthly Collections Summary Report and on the Total Government Collections Report. The Total Government Collections Report totals all 

deposits divided into electronic/non-electronic mechanisms and tax and non-tax totals within the mechanisms. 

DATA ACCURACY: Reasonable 

DATA FREqUEnCY: Quarterly 

FUTURE PLAnS/ExPLAnATion FoR ShoRTFALL: FMS has exceeded the target performance measure for fiscal year 2010. Over the past few years, FMS has worked with 

agencies to convert their collections reporting from non-electronic to electronic mechanisms. This is in conjunction with our attempts to consolidate duplicative 

systems and in our implementation of Collections and Cash Modernization Management. FMS expects future increases. In fiscal year 2011, FMS anticipates 

collecting at least 82 percent of Total Dollar Amount of Federal Government Receipts electronically.

DEFiniTion: The unit cost to process a revenue collection transaction. 

inDiCAToR TYPE: Measure 

DATA CAPTURE AnD SoURCE: The cost data is captured through an activity based costing process. The unit cost is the calculated ratio of total direct and indirect costs over 

total government-wide collection transactions. 

DATA VERiFiCATion AnD VALiDATion: At the end of each year actual costs for collections are accumulated and calculated for electronic and non-electronic collections. In 

addition, the number of transactions is calculated for each collection system. This information is calculated in conjunction with and verified by the program 

office, and is reviewed by senior level executives. 

DATA ACCURACY: Reasonable 

DATA FREqUEnCY: Annually 

FUTURE PLAnS/ExPLAnATion FoR ShoRTFALL: In fiscal year 2010, the average cost of processing a collection item was $1.67. This average is higher than our original 

projection of $1.25 per item for fiscal year 2010, but slightly less than our revised fiscal year 2010 projection of $1.70. The average cost to process a collection 

item has increased in recent years due to a downturn in the economy, and due to additional development expenses related to the Collections and Cash 

Management Modernization (CCMM) Initiative. While additional systems and services are being developed for the CCMM initiative, FMS continues to incur 

maintenance and operating costs from its legacy systems.

FUTURE PLAnS/ExPLAnATion FoR ShoRTFALL: TTB achieved 120 percent of its targeted return on investment for its revenue collection program in fiscal year 2010. In its 

second year of collections under the tobacco tax rate increase, TTB used targeted enforcement of high-risk taxpayers to collect nearly $16 billion in tobacco 

revenue. In effectively administering its tax jurisdiction, TTB collected $2 billion more in tobacco excise taxes than projected by the Joint Committee on Taxation 

prior to the passage of the Children’s Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act (CHIPRA). In fiscal year 2011, to meet its performance target, TTB will 

continue to include in its audit plan a mix of comprehensive audits, limited scope audits, and examinations. This strategy maximizes TTB’s limited audit resources 

and enables much broader industry coverage. TTB also plans to address revenue risk areas in fiscal year 2011 through audit programs developed for specific 

industry member types and enhanced risk modeling. To assure compliance in the importer community that TTB regulates, TTB is participating in joint federal 

agency initiatives designed to trace alcohol and tobacco product through the Customs warehouse system to ensure alcohol and tobacco products moving into 

domestic commerce are properly taxpaid and meet packaging and marking requirements. TTB also is involved in multiple ongoing criminal investigations of 

illegal activity in the industries TTB regulates. Using an integrated enforcement approach, auditors will follow up on referrals provided by the TTB Intelligence 

Division to address suspected illegal activity. TTB auditors and investigators also will support TTB agents, contracted from the Internal Revenue Service Criminal 

Investigation unit, in effectuating TTB’s criminal enforcement operations by providing leads and forensic auditing support for criminal cases.

DATA VERiFiCATion AnD VALiDATion: The National Revenue Center (NRC) generates reports to identify late-filed returns and payments in the Federal Excise Tax (FET) 

system. 

DATA ACCURACY: Reasonable 

DATA FREqUEnCY: Quarterly 

FUTURE PLAnS/ExPLAnATion FoR ShoRTFALL: TTB exceeded its performance goal in fiscal year 2010 through its continued efforts to promote industry member use of the 

online tax return and payment filing system, Pay.gov. Enhancements to its tax verification program also supported TTB’s performance improvement efforts. In 

fiscal year 2010, TTB developed an Error Tracking Database (ETD) to identify late filers, non-filers, and errant filings of operational reports. The ETD identifies 

more than 40 different types of errors on industry operational reports, and generates compliance letters to notify industry of the compliance issues. In fiscal 

year 2011, TTB will continue to promote the use of Pay.gov and expand the development of the ETD to all commodity types for operational reports. TTB also 

intends to create a module in the ETD to address missing and late excise tax returns.

DATA VERiFiCATion AnD VALiDATion: The calculation for Refund Timeliness is a ratio of untimely IMF paper refunds in a sample compared against the total number of IMF 

paper refunds reviewed in a sample. The result of the ratio is weighted against the entire volume of refund returns a center has processed on a monthly basis. 

The monthly results are tabulated to determine the performance rating at the corporate and site level.

DATA FREqUEnCY: Quarterly 

FUTURE PLAnS/ExPLAnATion FoR ShoRTFALL: Refund timeliness fell short of the target due to delays caused by the computation of the Making Work Pay Credit and the 

First-Time Homebuyer Credit. During the 2010 filing season, nearly 8 million returns claiming the Making Work Pay credit were identified during processing 

as having error conditions present. All error conditions/inconsistencies must be resolved before the return can proceed through the pipeline to posting. The 

greater than anticipated workload resulted in some delays in resolving these cases during the March to May timeframe. In addition, most of these errors 

resulted in the Making Work Pay credit being changed from the taxpayer’s original amount, which means a notice must accompany the refund explaining to the 

taxpayer the reason for the change in the anticipated refund. These notices can delay the issuance of the refund up to two weeks.

applications were received, of which only 16,600 met the criteria for minimal review. To address these issues TE/GE is currently analyzing determination 

processing improvements for future implementation. Additionally, TE/GE will conduct research on Form 5307 filers to determine the factors that contributed to 

lower than anticipated receipts in fiscal year 2010.

DEFiniTion: Percentage error measures the accuracy of the Benchmark receipt forecasts produced monthly by the Office of Fiscal Projections (OFP). It measures the 

relative amount of error or bias in receipt forecasts. 

inDiCAToR TYPE: Measure 

DATA CAPTURE AnD SoURCE: OFP within the Office of the Fiscal Assistant Secretary creates estimates of Federal receipts by major categories (e.g., withheld income/FICA 

taxes, individual/SECA taxes, corporate taxes, customs deposits, estate and gift taxes and excise taxes) as well as by collection mechanisms (e.g., electronic 

and paper coupons) as a part of an extensive cash flow forecast used to inform Treasury’s debt management decisions. OFP is also responsible for forecasting 

the daily tax receipts in order to manage the federal government’s cash flow. Data on daily and monthly estimated and actual federal tax receipts are compiled 

by the office and used to report on the United States’ daily, monthly, and annual cash position. 

DATA VERiFiCATion AnD VALiDATion: The percentage error is computed by subtracting the forecast value of tax receipts from the actual (At -Ft), and dividing this error of 

forecast by the actual value, and then multiplying it by 100. PEt = ((At - Ft)/At) *100 At is actual value of receipts at time t, and Ft is forecasted value of receipts 

at time t. The average percentage error is more general measure that will be used to compare the relative error in the forecasts. This measure adds up all the 

percentage errors at each point and divides them by the number of time point APE = |(?t=1TPEt)|/T where PEt is the percentage error of forecasts in (1) and 

T is the total number of time point. The absolute value of the average percentage error will be used to measure the magnitude of error or bias in the receipts 

forecasts. 

DATA ACCURACY: Reasonable 

DATA FREqUEnCY: Annually 

FUTURE PLAnS/ExPLAnATion FoR ShoRTFALL: To analyze the effectiveness of the forecasting methodologies employed, the Department measures the variance between 

actual and projected receipts. Given economic uncertainties and legislative changes, the forecasts for fiscal year 2010 were not as good as those for fiscal 

year 2009. The actual variance for fiscal year 2010 is 5.8 percent, higher than the 5.0 percent target for fiscal year 2010 and the 5.5 percent actual variance in 

fiscal year 2009. fiscal year 2010 proved very challenging to forecast due to the heavy influence of 2009 tax liability on fiscal year 2010 receipts and lingering 

uncertainty concerning the pace of the economic recovery. 

The economic downturn and subsequent signs of recovery in fiscal year 2010, along with the government’s policy response to these events, had great impact 

on Federal revenues and on the ability to forecast trend changes in Federal tax receipts. Key economic factors such as GDP and employment did not improve 

as much as assumed in the Administration’s fiscal year 2011 Budget. Final individual tax payments in April came in well below forecast as liability for tax year 

2009 was much lower than expected. Also, newly-enacted credits from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 further reduced these taxes. 

Corporate profitability and thus corporate tax receipts turned around, showing strong increases in fiscal year 2010. Federal Reserve Earnings, reflecting the 

increase in the return on the Federal Reserve System’s investment portfolio, more than doubled from their level in fiscal year 2009. 

In fiscal year 2011, OFP’s targeted variance between estimated and actual receipts will continue to be 5 percent. OFP will continue to actively monitor and 

update existing models with any new programs and initiatives that are enacted by Congress. In addition, OFP will continue to meet quarterly with senior staff in 

the Office of Macroeconomic Analysis (Office of the Assistant Secretary for Economic Policy) and the Office of Tax Analysis (Office of the Assistant Secretary 

for Tax Policy), identifying the impact that key macroeconomic indicators may have on short- and long-term receipts forecasts. 

Further, OFP is currently working on two enhancements to its forecasting system. OFP is developing a new short-term forecasting system, incorporating more 

econometric and regression modeling to facilitate and strengthen short-term (up to one year) daily cash and monthly budget forecasts produced. In addition, 

OFP has undertaken an effort to produce a long-term (two to five year) monthly cash forecast. This effort is expected to be used to inform and improve shortterm forecasts.

FUTURE PLAnS/ExPLAnATion FoR ShoRTFALL: TTB exceeded its targeted performance level for this measure by ten percent through the effective use of management 

reporting tools to monitor work assignments and the implementation of a Balanced Scorecard initiative, which uses this integrated strategic planning and 

performance management system to tie employee performance to mission success. In addition, TTB completed its annual OMB Circular A-123 risk assessment 

identifying risks and mitigating factors that impact performance in the applications branch of the TTB National Revenue Center. In fiscal year 2011, TTB will 

begin its phased release of the new Permits Online (PONL) system, which will enable the electronic submission and internal processing of original permit 

applications. With industry support and adoption of PONL, and following the release of the next phase of the system in fiscal year 2012, TTB expects to 

significantly reduce processing times for both original and amended permit applications. Further efficiencies will be gained through a new triaging procedure for 

incomplete paper applications for an original permit, and by updating the telephonic interview process for applicants according to a revised risk model.

processes and improved responsiveness to customer needs. TTB also provided refresher training and developmental opportunities to NRC employees to 

increase job knowledge and improve customer service. With the phased rollout of Permits Online (PONL) scheduled during fiscal years 2011 and 2012, TTB 

anticipates reduced processing times for original permit applications and permit amendments. As the user adoption rate for PONL increases, TTB expects 

that customer satisfaction scores will improve, as applicants experience faster response times and the ease of using the electronic filing system. Additionally, 

to streamline the permit application process, TTB created a task force to analyze and improve TTB bond forms and instructions, as well as internal business 

processes, for efficiency gains.

FUTURE PLAnS/ExPLAnATion FoR ShoRTFALL: TTB exceeded its fiscal year 2010 targeted rate for tobacco importer compliance by 21 percent. In its monitoring of the 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s International Trade Data System, TTB has been able to identify entities illegally importing cigarettes and other tobacco 

products and, through issuing cease and desist letters, has brought them into compliance with federal permit requirements or has ensured that operations 

were stopped. For fiscal year 2011, TTB will continue to monitor imports of tobacco products by non-permitted entities, placing special emphasis on enforcing 

the Prevent All Cigarette Trafficking Act, legislation enacted in April 2010 to prevent tobacco smuggling and ensure the proper payment of all tobacco taxes. 

The method most commonly used to import tobacco products without a permit and without payment of the appropriate taxes is Internet and mail-order 

purchases. The PACT Act prohibits shipments of tobacco products via the U.S. Postal Service (USPS). In fiscal year 2011, TTB will coordinate with the USPS 

and other common carriers to provide enforcement assistance. These efforts, in addition to current methods used to identify entities illegally importing tobacco 

products, will help reduce the number of entities circumventing federal permit and tax requirements. Furthermore, under the Children’s Health Insurance 

Program Reauthorization Act of 2009 (CHIPRA), all importers of processed tobacco are required to obtain an importers permit from TTB. In the year ahead, TTB 

will assess the number of legitimate importers of processed tobacco and ensure they apply for and obtain a permit, or cease importations. Currently, TTB is 

internally monitoring the compliance rate of this new class of permittees.

TARgET MET? N N Y Y 

DEFiniTion: This measure represents the dollars of private and non-CDFI Fund investments that CDFIs are able to leverage because of their CDFI Fund Financial 

Assistance (FA) award. For CDFIs, leverage is defined as the one-to-one non-federal match (as required by the FA program), plus funds the CDFI is able to 

leverage with CDFI Fund FA grant and equity dollars, plus dollars that the awardees’ borrowers leverage for projects. (Project leverage example - Of the total 

financing needed for a housing development is $5 million and the awardee lends $1 million, while other investors lend the remaining $4 million, then the $4 

million is the project leverage). 

inDiCAToR TYPE: Measure 

DATA CAPTURE AnD SoURCE: FA award disbursements are made once CDFIs provide documentation showing that they have received or been committed matching funds. 

Disbursements of FA are tracked by the Financial Manager and are used as the proxy for matching funds raised. The CDFI Program annual Institution Level 

Report captures the leverage ratio for FA grants and equity dollars, as well as project level leverage. 

DATA VERiFiCATion AnD VALiDATion: CDFI awardees’ one-to-one match is equal to the amount disbursed to awardees. The FA grant and equity dollar leverage ratio is 

taken from the awardees’ financial statements. (In most cases, the financial statements have been audited.) Project level leverage is reported by the awardee 

and is not verifiable by the Fund. 

DATA ACCURACY: Reasonable 

DATA FREqUEnCY: Annually 

FUTURE PLAnS/ExPLAnATion FoR ShoRTFALL: Private-sector dollars leveraged significantly exceeded targets because Congressional appropriations were higher than 

originally projected when setting target. This performance measure is being retained despite the difficulty in forecasting targets due to the disparity between

DEFiniTion: Jobs maintained are jobs at the business at the time the loan or investment is made. Jobs created are new jobs created after the loan or investment is made. 

Total jobs are derived from all business loans outstanding in the CDFI portfolio. Jobs created and maintained serve as an important indicator of the economic 

vitality of underserved areas. Underserved communities are those that qualify as CDFI Program Target Markets (which include a specific geography called 

an Investment Area or a specific community of people with demonstrated lack of access to credit, equity, or financial services called a Low-Income Targeted 

Population or an Other Targeted Population). 

inDiCAToR TYPE: Measure 

DATA CAPTURE AnD SoURCE: Each awardee and allocatee collects and tracks job data in its own management information system(s). The information is self-reported by 

awardees and allocatees. Many organizations track the number of jobs projected to be created. A smaller number collect annual information on actual number 

of jobs created. Some do not collect the data and respond “don’t know.” Each CDFI Financial Assistance awardee and NMTC Allocatee is required to complete a 

Transaction Level Report. CDFI awardees report FTE data in the Institution Level Report or Transaction Level Report, while NMTC Allocatees report FTE data in 

the Transaction Level Report only. 

DATA VERiFiCATion AnD VALiDATion: The Fund will collect FTE through the annual Institution Level and Transaction Level Reports. Data provided is compared to the 

awardees’ and allocatees’ actual financial statements for accuracy and “reasonableness” as defined by the Fund. Awardees and allocatees are contacted 

regarding any discrepancies. 

DATA ACCURACY: Reasonable 

DATA FREqUEnCY: Annually 

FUTURE PLAnS/ExPLAnATion FoR ShoRTFALL: Target has increased over prior fiscal year ranges due to an anticipated large increase in the CDFI Fund’s budget. Actual 

reported jobs created/maintained were lower principally because of the effects of the economic crisis. The CDFI Fund will research methods to take into 

account budgetary and economic conditions when setting future jobs targets. Additionally, in fiscal year 2011 this measure will be combined with job creation/ 

maintenance measures for the other CDFI Fund programs.

each filing, the actual decision date is compared to the target action date to determine whether the application was completed within established standards. 

The percentage is determined by comparing the number of licensing applications processed within the required time frames to the total number of licensing 

applications processed during the fiscal year. The processing time is the number of calendar days from the date of OCC receipt to the date of OCC’s decision. 

The established processing time frame depends on the application type and if the application qualifies for expedited processing.

DEFiniTion: This measure reflects whether the national banking system is well capitalized at fiscal year-end. The Federal Deposit Insurance Act established a system 

of prompt corrective action (PCA) that classifies insured depository institutions into five categories (well capitalized; adequately capitalized; undercapitalized, 

significantly undercapitalized; and critically undercapitalized) based on their relative capital levels. The purpose of PCA is to resolve the problems of insured 

depository institutions at the least possible long-term cost to the deposit insurance fund. 

inDiCAToR TYPE: Indicator 

DATA CAPTURE AnD SoURCE: National banks file quarterly Reports of Condition and Income with the Federal Finance Institution Examination Council through the Federal 

Deposit Insurance Corporation’s data processing center. The Supervisory Information office reviews the Reports of Condition and Income (i.e., call reports) for 

each quarter to identify national banks that meet all of the criteria for a well capitalized institution. The number of national banks at fiscal year-end is obtained 

from the Federal Reserve Board’s National Information Center database. The percentage is determined by comparing the number of national banks that meet all 

of the established criteria for being well capitalized to the total number of national banks at fiscal year-end. 

DATA VERiFiCATion AnD VALiDATion: The banks’ boards of directors attest to the accuracy of the reported data. The reliability of these quarterly reports is evaluated by 

OCC examiners during bank examinations. 

DATA ACCURACY: Reasonable 

DATA FREqUEnCY: Quarterly 

FUTURE PLAnS/ExPLAnATion FoR ShoRTFALL: Target was not met. This is primarily due to the long term effects of the economic downturn on the banking industry. More 

banks have been issued enforcement actions lately and this precludes them from being labeled as well capitalized. We will continue to closely monitor the 

capital levels of all our banks and ensure that appropriate corrective action is instituted on a timely basis.

DEFiniTion: This measure reflects the national banking system’s compliance with consumer laws and regulations. Bank regulatory agencies use the Uniform Financial 

Institutions Rating System, Interagency Consumer Compliance Rating, to provide a general framework for assimilating and evaluating significant consumer 

compliance factors inherent in a bank. Each bank is assigned a consumer compliance rating based on an evaluation of its present compliance with consumer 

protection and civil rights statutes and regulations, and the adequacy of its operating systems designed to ensure continuing compliance. Ratings are on a scale 

of 1 through 5 in increasing order of supervisory concern. 

inDiCAToR TYPE: Indicator 

DATA CAPTURE AnD SoURCE: The Supervisory Information office identifies the number of banks with current consumer compliance ratings of 1 or 2 and the total number 

of national banks from Examiner View (EV) and Supervisory Information System (SIS) subject to consumer compliance examinations at fiscal year-end. The 

percentage is determined by comparing the number of national banks with current consumer compliance ratings of 1 or 2 to the total number of national banks 

subject to consumer compliance examinations at fiscal year-end. 

DATA VERiFiCATion AnD VALiDATion: Consumer compliance ratings are assigned at the completion of each consumer compliance examination. These ratings are entered 

into OCC’s management information systems, EV and SIS, by the banks’ Examiner-in-Charge and reviewed and approved by the Supervisory Offices’ Assistant 

Deputy Comptroller (Mid-Size/Community banks) or Deputy Comptroller (Large banks). 

DATA ACCURACY: Reasonable 

DATA FREqUEnCY: Quarterly 

FUTURE PLAnS/ExPLAnATion FoR ShoRTFALL: Target exceeded. To sustain this level of achievement, the OCC will continue to encourage and ensure that national banks 

have strong compliance management functions in place. The OCC also will continue its recruiting of entry-level examiners, aligning supervision resources to the 

areas of greatest risk, training the examiner staff, and enhancing examination guidance.

identify and compare the composite CAMELS ratings for problem banks from twelve months prior to the current period composite CAMELS ratings for the 

same banks. The percentage is determined by comparing the number of national banks that have upgraded composite CAMELS ratings of 1 or 2 from composite 

CAMELS ratings of 3, 4 or 5 to the total number of national banks that had composite CAMELS ratings of 3, 4 or 5 twelve months ago. 

DATA VERiFiCATion AnD VALiDATion: Either quarterly or semi-annually, an independent reviewer compares a sample of Reports of Examination to the EV and SIS data to

respective Assistant Deputy Comptroller or Deputy Comptroller for corrective action. 

DATA ACCURACY: Reasonable 

DATA FREqUEnCY: Quarterly 

FUTURE PLAnS/ExPLAnATion FoR ShoRTFALL: Target was not met. This is primarily due to the difficult economic situation the entire industry is facing which presently

DEFiniTion: OTS examines savings associations every 12-18 months for safety and soundness, compliance and consumer protection laws. OTS performs safety and 

soundness examinations of its regulated savings associations consistent with the requirements in the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement 

Act of 1991 (FDICIA) as amended by the Riegle Community Development and Regulatory Improvement Act of 1994. When safety and soundness or compliance 

issues are identified during its risk-focused examinations, OTS acts promptly to ensure association management and directors institute corrective actions to 

address supervisory concerns. OTS staff often meets with the savings association’s board of directors after delivery of the Report of Examination to discuss 

findings and recommendations.

DEFiniTion: Capital absorbs losses, promotes public confidence and provides protection to depositors and the FDIC insurance funds. It provides a financial cushion 

that can allow a savings association to continue operating during periods of loss or other adverse conditions. The Federal Deposit Insurance Act established 

a system of prompt corrective action (PCA) that classifies insured depository institutions into five categories (well-capitalized; adequately capitalized; 

undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized; and critically undercapitalized) based on their relative capital levels. The purpose of PCA is to resolve the 

problems of insured depository institutions at the least possible long-term cost to the deposit insurance fund. 

inDiCAToR TYPE: Measure 

DATA CAPTURE AnD SoURCE: PCA ratings are stored in the Examination Data System and can also be found in the Thrift Overview Report and off-site financial monitoring

PCA ratings are stored in the Examination Data System. OTS calculates this measure by dividing the number of OTS-regulated savings associations that 

are well capitalized by the total number of OTS-regulated savings associations that received a compliance examination rating of 1 or 2 on their most recent 

examination by the total number of OTS-regulated savings associations that have been assigned a compliance examination rating. 

DATA VERiFiCATion AnD VALiDATion: The Managing Director, Supervision and her staff along with the regional personnel continuously monitors the status of the exam

DEFiniTion: On December 9, 1996, the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) adopted the CAMELS rating system as the internal rating system to be 

used by the Federal and State regulators for assessing the safety and soundness of financial institutions on a uniform basis. The CAMELS rating system puts 

increased emphasis on the quality of risk management practices. ‘CAMELS’ stands for Capital adequacy, Asset quality, Management, Earnings, Liquidity and 

Sensitivity to market risk. OTS assigns a composite CAMELS rating to savings associations at each examination. OTS adjusts the level of supervisory resources 

devoted to an association based on the composite rating. The CAMELS rating is based upon a scale of 1 through 5 in increasing order of supervisory concern. 

inDiCAToR TYPE: Measure 

DATA CAPTURE AnD SoURCE: Composite CAMELS ratings are stored in and retrieved from the online Examination Data System. OTS calculates this measure by dividing 

the number of savings associations having a composite CAMELS rating of 1 or 2 by the total number of OTS-regulated savings associations that have been 

assigned a composite CAMELS rating. 

DATA VERiFiCATion AnD VALiDATion: The Managing Director, Supervision, and her staff along with regional personnel continuously monitor the status of the exam 

ratings. Summary and detail reporting of CAMELS ratings are available online through the Examination Data System and are provided to each association at 

the conclusion of an exam. The composite rating is used semi-annually in the assessment process. Quarterly press releases provide a summary of the thrift 

industry’s CAMELS ratings to the public. 

OTS uses a web-based EDS/ROE system (Examination Data System/Report of Examination). The EDS/ROE system collects and stores examination data, 

including CAMELS ratings, and reports of examination for all entities examined and supervised by OTS. EDS captures basic data from an institution’s

FUTURE PLAnS/ExPLAnATion FoR ShoRTFALL: OTS goal of 80 percent for this measure was not met for fiscal year 2010 due to continued weakness in the housing 

markets and rising unemployment resulting in increased problem assets, additional reserves and losses. Weak housing markets and continued high levels of 

unemployment continued to challenge our institutions. In turn, these factors necessitated ratings downgrades. 

As a fiscal year 2011 agency priority, OTS will continue to actively take timely and effective actions to address problem institutions, inappropriate risks and 

violations of law and encourage thrifts to obtain additional capital or seek alternative strategies to remain viable.

DEFiniTion: A uniform, interagency compliance rating system was first approved by the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) in 1980. The FFIEC 

rating system was designed to reflect, in a comprehensive and uniform fashion, the nature and extent of an association’s compliance with consumer protection 

statutes, regulations and requirements. The Compliance Rating System is based upon a scale of 1 through 5 in increasing order of supervisory concern. 

OTS began to combine safety and soundness and compliance examinations in 2002 to attain exam efficiencies and to improve risk assessment. Using 

comprehensive exam procedures, compliance with consumer protection laws is reviewed at more frequent intervals, which has improved the quality of the 

examination process. 

inDiCAToR TYPE: Measure

DEFiniTion: Beginning in fiscal year 2006, OTS included a performance measure that reflects the efficiency of its operations while meeting the increasing supervisory 

demands of a growing and more complex thrift industry. This measure supports OTS’s ongoing efforts to efficiently use agency resources. The efficiency 

measure is impacted by the relative size of the savings associations regulated. As of June 30, 2006, 63 percent of all savings associations have total assets of 

less than $250 million and are generally community-based organizations that provide retail financial services in their local markets. In addition, the measure 

does not include over $7 trillion in assets of holding company enterprises regulated by OTS. 

inDiCAToR TYPE: Measure 

DATA CAPTURE AnD SoURCE: The OTS expenses published in OTS’s annual audited financial statement are used in this calculation. If the performance measure calculation 

is provided before the audited financial statement is available, the estimated expenses are derived from OTS’s Budget Variance System. The OTS regulated 

assets are published in the OTS quarterly press release of thrift industry financial highlights and are derived from the institutions quarterly Thrift Financial 

Reports. The measure is calculated by dividing total fiscal year expenses by total thrift assets. 

DATA VERiFiCATion AnD VALiDATion: OTS expenses are verified during the annual CFO audit and reflect those published in the OTS annual audited financial statements. The 

industry’s assets are reported by OTS’s regulated institutions in the quarterly Thrift Financial Report, edited and verified by OTS staff, and then published in the 

OTS quarterly press release and available to the public on the OTS Internet site. OTS allows amendments from the industry for six months after the filing date.

In fiscal year 2009, however, the IMF regularly activated ‘emergency procedures’ to facilitate rapid IMF Board approval of country lending programs (i.e., Board 

discussion 2-3 days after program documents are circulated by the IMF). The shortened review period in many cases made it impossible for IA staff to complete 

the staff review of the country program one week before the Board date. The Office of International Affairs will continue to closely monitor IMF program 

activities and conduct thorough reviews of IMF country programs in a timely fashion in advance of IMF Board discussions.

note, production plans demanded a large inventory buildup before the note could be introduced into circulation by the Federal Reserve Board. BEP has identified 

a problem with sporadic creasing of the paper during printing of the new $100 note, which was not apparent during extensive pre-production testing. The root 

cause of the sporadic creasing is currently unknown, sometimes hard to detect, and causes unacceptably high spoilage. Because this issue remains unresolved, 

the Bureau was unable to fulfill its delivery requirements of new $100 notes to the Federal Reserve Board. The BEP is working to resolve the creasing problem 

with its paper supplier; however, it is because of the high spoilage caused by the creasing problem and the work being done to find a solution, that BEP did not

DEFiniTion: On-time delivery to the Federal Reserve Banks (FRB) is the percentage of total scheduled orders shipped on time to the FRB. The United States Mint is 

responsible for providing the nation’s coinage in sufficient quantity to meet the needs of commerce. To accomplish this mission, the United States Mint must 

supply coinage in the quantities and timelines specified by the FRB. The FRB is then responsible for distributing coinage to the commercial banking sector.

DEFiniTion: The United States Mint’s costs vary by product, and the product mix has been variable over time. This makes it difficult to compare operating results from 

year to year. The coin equivalent calculation converts the production output to a common denominator based on the circulating quarter. Production costs, 

excluding metal and fabrication, are then divided by this standardized production level, thus resulting in conversion costs per 1,000 coin equivalents. This 

allows comparison of performance over time by negating the effects of changes in the product mix. Starting in fiscal year 2008, the target and results will be 

presented as a percentage difference from the baseline. By showing the target and performance as a percentage, this allows for the impact of fixed costs as 

they get spread over varying levels of production.

DEFiniTion: Cost per 1000 coin equivalents is the cost of production (conversion cost) divided by the number of products made. Conversion costs are controllable costs 

within manufacturing. Those costs include manufacturing payroll, non-payroll, and depreciation costs. To determine the coin equivalents, an equivalency factor 

is assigned to each circulating denomination and numismatic product based on the resources it takes to make the product (indexed against the resources it 

takes to make one product, the quarter). The production quantity for each product is multiplied by the equivalency factor, resulting in a coin equivalent quantity.

in fiscal year 2009. The United States Mint customer retention and acquisition performance declined because the bureau was unable to offer several core 

numismatic products for sale after January 2009. In particular, popular American Eagle numismatic products were unavailable because precious metal planchets 

were diverted to the bullion program in accordance with the United States Mint’s statutory requirement to fulfill bullion demand. Economic conditions may have 

also curtailed customer spending on collectibles from prior years. 

By the close of fiscal year 2010, the United States Mint had sufficiently expanded gold and silver planchet supply to fulfill bullion demand and redirect a portion 

of blanks for numismatic production. Releasing popular gold and silver numismatic products will improve customer retention and acquisition as well as customer 

satisfaction in fiscal year 2011. The United States Mint will also work to identify and remedy inhibitors to customer satisfaction in the upcoming fiscal year.

DATA FREqUEnCY: Quarterly 

FUTURE PLAnS/ExPLAnATion FoR ShoRTFALL: Seigniorage per dollar issued was $0.49 in fiscal year 2010, below the performance target of $0.53. Base metal expenses 

and the mix of circulating coin ordered by the FRB largely determine seigniorage per dollar issued performance. In fiscal year 2010, increasing metal costs 

and a shift in the mix of ordered coins toward lower denominations reduced seigniorage per dollar issued. Market prices of copper, nickel and zinc recovered 

from fiscal year 2009 lows and climbed back to prior fiscal year levels. This caused circulating Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) to increase relative to the value of 

shipments. The composition of circulating coins ordered by the FRB shifted to lower denomination coins. Higher shipments of one-cent and five-cent coins 

reduce seigniorage relative to the value of shipments because these coins are minted and issued at a loss. 

Metal market prices are expected to hold at higher levels as the global economy improves. To mitigate the challenge of rising metal prices, the United States 

Mint and the Department of the Treasury continue to work with Congress to examine options for changing the composition of circulating coinage to less 

expensive materials. This would improve future seigniorage per dollar issued performance.

TARgET MET? Y Y Y Y 

DEFiniTion: The percentage of bank examinations that reveal the existence of systemic compliance failure (i.e., demonstrated by cited violations of the anti-money 

laundering program rule) is a meaningful measure because it provides an intermediate assessment of the effectiveness of the efforts of the Regulatory Policy 

and Programs Division’s three offices in providing policy guidance and taking formal and informal compliance and enforcement actions to increase financial 

industry compliance with the Bank Secrecy Act. At the present time, the only financial sector from which we are receiving useful data to quantify this measure 

is the banking sector supervised and examined for Bank Secrecy Act compliance by the Federal Banking Agencies. 

inDiCAToR TYPE: Measure 

DATA CAPTURE AnD SoURCE: The Federal Banking Agencies aggregated information provided pursuant to the Memorandum of Understanding executed in 2004 with 

FinCEN. 

DATA VERiFiCATion AnD VALiDATion: This information can be validated from the quarterly aggregate reports provided to FinCEN by each agency pursuant to the 

Memorandum of Understanding of 2004. Under the terms of the MOU, the FBAs have 45 days from the end of a quarter to submit their data to FinCEN. Since 

quarterly results must be calculated within 30 days of the end of a quarter, we must use data from the prior quarter. Due to this lag in data, the year-end figure 

is based on the three fiscal year 2009 quarters available at the fiscal year-end. 

DATA ACCURACY: Reasonable 

DATA FREqUEnCY: Annually 

FUTURE PLAnS/ExPLAnATion FoR ShoRTFALL: In fiscal year 2010, the percentage of banking institutions cited for program failures during examinations was significantly 

below the 5.2 percent indicator level, only 1.6 percent were cited. This is primarily attributable to greater consistency among bank regulators in citing instances 

of program failures. FinCEN will continue to collaborate with the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council and conduct outreach to the banking industry.

DEFiniTion: The Office of Audit (OA) makes recommendations designed to improve administration of the Federal tax system. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) must 

implement these recommendations in order for our work to produce financial or non-financial benefits. This measure assesses our effect on improving the IRS’s 

accountability, operations, and services. Because the IRS needs time to act on recommendations, we track the percentage of recommendations that we made 

four years ago that have since been implemented, rather than the results of our activities, during the fiscal year in which the recommendations are made. This 

time frame is used because four years is the point at which TIGTA-OA believes that if a recommendation has not been implemented, it is not likely to be. 

inDiCAToR TYPE: Measure 

DATA CAPTURE AnD SoURCE: The IRS records recommendations in the Department’s JAMES as they are issued. Summary data regarding the status of the IRS’s corrective 

actions taken in response to our recommendations are provided to the Office of Audit via JAMES reports. Our Office of Management and Policy monitors 

implementation of recommendations as the IRS submits updated information to the JAMES. 

DATA VERiFiCATion AnD VALiDATion: Through a formal process, each audit team identifies the number of recommendations included in each report and the IRS enters the 

findings and corresponding recommendations into the Department of the Treasury’s (the Department) Joint Audit Management Enterprise System (JAMES). 

The database is updated frequently. TIGTA’s Office of Management and Policy receives summary data and monitors the data regularly to make sure the 

recommendations reported as implemented have been accurately recorded, as well as to accumulate data in regard to progress in meeting this measure. A 

qualified staff member independent of the process validates the progress related statistics. 

DATA ACCURACY: Reasonable 

DATA FREqUEnCY: Quarterly 

FUTURE PLAnS/ExPLAnATion FoR ShoRTFALL: For fiscal year 2011, TIGTA OA will continue to monitor the percentage of recommendations implemented. Because the IRS is

increase has been established for fiscal year 2011. The goal for fiscal year 2011 is targeted for 85 percent.

DEFiniTion: Legislation mandating certain audit work generally prescribes, or authorizes OMB to prescribe, the required completion date for recurring audits and 

evaluations, such as those for annual audited financial statements. For other types of mandated audit work, such as a Material Loss Review (MLR) of a failed 

financial institution, the legislation generally prescribes a time frame to issue a report six months for an MLR, as an example) from the date of an event that 

triggers the audit.

Treasury-regulated failed bank meeting defined loss thresholds. OIG recognized that the volume of MLR work would likely prevent meeting the 100 percent target, 

and accordingly notified Congress. OIG has been actively recruiting additional audit staff, and expects to once again accomplish all statutory audits on time.

DATA ACCURACY: Reasonable 

DATA FREqUEnCY: Quarterly 

FUTURE PLAnS/ExPLAnATion FoR ShoRTFALL: According to the Attorney General Guidelines for Statutory Offices of Inspector Generals, Inspector Generals should be 

consulted at an early stage to ensure that allegations, if proven, would be prosecuted. In fiscal year 2009, SIGTARP’s Investigations Division had an acceptance 

rate of 95 percent. As a start up law enforcement organization, it is difficult to draw a baseline from the first two years as to what this percentage will be in the 

future. There are a number of conflicting factors that play an important role here, such as prosecutorial thresholds & resources, sensitivity of the case etc. 

At this time, there is significant interest among prosecutors in Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) related cases, which plays an important factor in 

acceptance rate. In the future, as other prosecutorial priorities increase in importance, prosecutors will likely devote fewer resources to TARP related cases, 

and correspondingly, the acceptance rate will likely fall. 

Going forward, it will be almost impossible to keep a 100 percent acceptance rate, and SIGTARP’s Investigations Division expects that the acceptance rate will 

decline from what was reported in fiscal year 2010. SIGTARP’s Investigations Division expects that the acceptance rate will be somewhere near 50-60 per cent.

DEFiniTion: This metric measures the percentage of preliminary investigations that are converted to full investigations during the reporting period. A preliminary 

investigation is a limited investigation during which the investigator gathers fundamental information to determine the need to continue, pursue other

inDiCAToR TYPE: Measure 

DATA CAPTURE AnD SoURCE: When an investigator or supervisor assesses the information contained in an allegation of wrongdoing, a number of factors are considered 

prior to determining what type of case should be opened. For example, if the allegation includes significant supporting documentation or witness testimony 

showing illegal activity, then a case, or “full” investigation, would be opened immediately. However, if the allegation has only brief details, a “preliminary” 

investigation can be opened to provide a mechanism to develop further information regarding the allegation. The data originates with the case agent and the 

official case file. The data used to track this metric comes from the SIGTARP investigations Division (ID) Case Management System.
