SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Government Performance and Results 

Act of 1993 (GPRA) requires agencies to 

prepare strategic plans, annual 

performance plans and annual 

performance reports with measurable 

performance indicators to address the 

policy, budgeting and oversight needs of 

both Congress and agency leaders, 

partners/stakeholders, and program 

managers. In 2010, Congress passed the 

GPRA Modernization Act of 2010, 

which further requires a leadershipdriven governance model with emphasis 

on quarterly reviews and transparency. 

The GPRA Modernization Act requires 

agencies to set priority goals linked to 

longer-term Agency strategic goals. Part 

6 of Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) Circular A–11 provides 

additional guidance and requirements 

for federal agencies to implement these 

laws. The NCUA Draft Strategic Plan 

2018–2022 is issued pursuant to the 

GPRA, the GPRA Modernization Act, 

and OMB Circular A–11. 

The NCUA 2018–2022 Draft Strategic 

Plan outlines how the agency will 

continue to effectively supervise and 

insure a growing and evolving credit 

union system. As the financial services 

and the credit union sector evolve, 

NCUA must adjust to meet the 

challenges the changes provide. In 

response, we are adopting new 

technology and analytical tools to 

improve the agency’s offsite monitoring 

capabilities. Additionally, we are 

recalibrating our examination approach 

to reflect a more stable economic 

environment. We also are revising the 

agency’s operations, priorities and 

structure to ensure our objectives match 

those prescribed in the Federal Credit 

Union Act, while at the same time 

efficiently using the agency’s resources. 

In the years ahead, NCUA also plans 

to advance meaningful regulatory relief 

by fully reevaluating our rules and 

working to modify them as appropriate, 

improving the uniformity of
