Worked closely with an Interagency Advisory Group Committee on Accountability. With help from the committee, developed an Accountability Coverage Guide that is being used in all FY 1998 agency-specific reviews to look at agency internal accountability systems. FY 1997 was an unprecedented year for interest in and activity for demonstration projects under Chapter 47 of Title 5, United States Code. Proposed Federal Register plans were completed and published for nine more agency projects. Four more are expected to implement later in the year.
Work is in progress with three additional projects.
In FY 1997 and continuing in FY 1998, served as the readily accessible primary source data for meeting the workforce information needs of OPM, the other central management agencies, the Congress, the White House, and the public through the Central Personnel Data File and other reporting systems. They find our reviews, data, and reports to be accurate and helpful in the conduct of their human resources management. Conduct evaluation studies of two or three significant HRM policies and programs. In partnership with stakeholders, generate policy proposals resulting from reviews and studies. Report HRM areas that need attention to OPM program offices for appropriate action.
