Under the provisions of the Government Performance and Results Modernization Act of 2010 (GPRA Modernization Act of 2010), Section 4, Annual Performance Plans and Reports, Federal agencies are directed to improve their effectiveness and public accountability by promoting a new focus on results, service quality, and customer satisfaction. This act requires that agencies update and revise their strategic plans every four years. A major part of strategic plan development is the identification of key factors external to the agency that could significantly affect the achievement of strategic goals and objectives. This Outreach to ATF stakeholders is part of the Bureau’s quadrennial environmental assessment.
The Office of Strategic Management (OSM) will use the information to help identify and validate the agency’s internal strengths and weaknesses and external opportunities and risks.
The survey questionnaire will be sent to respondents electronically via e-mail and respondents will reply via e-mail. The Outreach will use electronic data exchange technology to the maximum extent possible.
OSM will verify the name, address, phone number and e-mail address of each respondent randomly selected for the survey, prior to administering the survey. The electronic survey tool will automatically identify any duplicate e-mail addresses. Only one e-mail will be sent to each unique e-mail address. Agency use of the Federal Information Locator system has been terminated. An agency subject classification system is used to identify duplication. No similar information is available from other sources.
This collection of information will not significantly affect a substantial number of small businesses.
