I. Abstract
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)
will design and conduct a survey that
will be used to evaluate the performance
of its Gap Analysis Program (GAP). The
information collected will provide
information for the Program’s annual
performance plan as required by the
Government Performance and Results
ACT (GPRA). Scientists and staff in the
Policy Analysis and Science Assistance
Branch of the USGS will conduct the
survey on-line. The only option for all
respondents will be to complete the
survey on-line.
Information from this survey will
provide the GAP Program managers
with scientifically sound data that can
be used to: (1) Prepare strategic
planning and performance documents,
(2) measure user satisfaction, and (3)
understand user needs. Additionally,
this survey can target performance
issues that relate to education and
outreach, technology and data quality.
Due to the nature of this collection, all
identified respondents will have: (1) an
active e-mail address and (2) skills in
GIS and computer operations.
