Lee V. Gossick, Executive Director for Operations SU3 JECT:

PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL REPORTING -TC d5 REflAflD N 06f As I have indicated in the past, the Decision Unit Tracking System (DUTS) will replace some existing management information systems and reduce reporting requirements of participating offices; a concrete example is the modification of current performance appraisal reporting procedures.

_The Performance A oraisal Report (PAR) oublication will no lancer be issued.

I will use DUTS reports for participating offices as indicators of progress toward meeting objectives and planned accomplishments within allocated resource levels.

The offices not participating in DUTS will keep me informed about their performance on a routine basis through individual briefings.

Startino in November. DAR_ptesentat.i.ons_wi1Lchance sianifica_ntl.y. wi_th.,the.._

formance2 Office Directors with the lead responsibility for a particule7 pro-gram area will cover all relevant aspects of that program in their briefing; they are not to limit their discussion to the lead office's role.

Other Office Directors involved in the program area are expected to participate in the discussion.

CONTACT:

Tony Abell, MPA 49-27507 9 gg00 0N

0CT 1 5 07g Office Directors.

In the first round_of briefinas, the leadAffice _ Director will discuss the long-range program goals and lay out the entire program plan through its estimated completion date (for programs extending beyond FY 1984, the principal focus should be on the first five-year segment of the program).

In the context of this overall program plan, the FY 1980 program objectives, planned accomplish-ments, and planned resources should be identified and described by decision unit.

I_n subsecuent briefings, through the use of DUTS reports, lead Office Directors will inoicate what the agency is doing to meet program objectives and what impact actual FY 1980 accomplishments and resource expenditures have on the program. This use of DUT.S reports should both reduce your reporting burden and give management a better picture of the agency from a program as well as an 0ffice perspective.

These new program-oriented presentations should be concise (i.e., no longer than about 10 minutes per program area except for the initial briefing).

I expect all Office Directors to attend these sessions and contribute to the discussion on program areas in which they are involved.

From time to time I will also ask

' Office Directors to comment on specific decision units or other general topics in their offices that are not part of major program areas.

See Enclosure 2 for the briefing schedule for the next few months.

Office Directors not participating in DUTS will brief me twice a year on an individual basis, usino the objectives and planned accomplishments in their budgets as the basis foYdiscussion. Other Office Directors or their repre-sentatives are welcome to attend these presentations.

During their sessions ADM, EEO, and CON will also brief me on agency-wide personnel manning and average grade, EE0 status and financial status.

IP and SP will be included in these individual briefings until they are integrated into DUTS.

The Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization will brief me within three months of its formation. See Enclosure 3 for a briefing schedule.

I look forsard to hearing your presentations.
