process for developing or updating a
strategic plan includes consultation
with Congress and other interested and
potentially affected parties.
The structure of the draft strategic
plan has changed from that of the
previous plan, and incorporates the
structure of the Department’s new
balanced scorecard. A balanced
scorecard ‘‘balances’’ or equally
emphasizes programmatic and
management objectives, and contains
measures that are tracked by senior
leaders to support their day-to-day
management activities. During the
spring of 2010, Secretary Locke engaged
with a broad cross-section of the
Department’s senior leadership to
develop a balanced scorecard to deploy
and execute this Strategic Plan. The
Secretary directed a balanced scorecard
approach to establish and maintain
focus on the Department’s top priorities,
to institutionalize quarterly data-driven
reviews with heads of operating units to
monitor and ensure attainment of these
priorities, and to emphasize that
Customer Service, Organizational
Excellence, and Workforce Excellence
are prerequisites to the short and longterm achievement of the Department’s
programmatic goals.
The balanced scorecard approach
monitors the Department’s internal
management processes and focuses its
operating programs on priorities. This
approach recognizes that follow-up and
follow-through are critical to both the
short and long-term success and
sustainability of high-performing
programs.
The Department’s balanced scorecard
and Strategic Plan are structured around
three programmatic themes (Economic
Growth, Science and Information, and
Environmental Stewardship) and three
management themes (Customer Service,
Organizational Excellence, and
Workforce Excellence). The Economic
Growth theme is further subdivided into
three goals (Innovation and
Entrepreneurship, Market Development
and Commercialization, and Trade
Promotion and Compliance).
These themes and goals are further
subdivided into 27 strategic objectives,
which frame all of the Department’s
programs and supporting activities.
Each objective narrative addresses the
Department’s strategies to achieve the
objective, key challenges, external
factors, contributing programs, and
program evaluations. Narratives for the
18 programmatic objectives also include
performance measures (i.e., GPRA
measures) for tracking attainment.
The Department’s Strategic Plan is
implemented on an annual basis
through the Annual Performance Plan

for each operating unit. Results are
published in the Department’s annual
Performance and Accountability Report.

Performance Plans and Performance and
Accountability Reports are posted at

[Docket 16–2011]
Foreign-Trade Zone 229—Charleston,
WV; Application for Subzone; Cabela’s
Inc.; (Hunting, Fishing, Camping and
Related Outdoor Merchandise)
Triadelphia, WV
An application has been submitted to
the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the
Board) by the West Virginia Economic
Development Authority, grantee of FTZ
229, requesting special-purpose subzone
status for the warehousing and
distribution facility of Cabela’s Inc.
(Cabela’s), located in Triadelphia, West
Virginia. The application was submitted
pursuant to the provisions of the
Foreign-Trade Zones Act, as amended
(19 U.S.C. 81a–81u), and the regulations
of the Board (15 CFR part 400). It was
formally filed on March 7, 2011.
The Cabela’s facility (510 employees,
60 acres) is located at One Distribution
Road, Triadelphia, West Virginia. The
facility is used for the storage and
distribution of outdoor merchandise,
clothing and footwear, including optics,
electronics, hunting, archery, shooting,
fishing, boating, camping, pet and
related products (duty rate ranges from
duty-free to 48%).
FTZ procedures could exempt
Cabela’s from customs duty payments
on foreign products that will be reexported (approximately 1% of
shipments). On its domestic sales, the
company would be able to defer duty
payments until merchandise is shipped
from the plant and entered for
consumption. FTZ designation would
further allow Cabela’s to realize
logistical benefits through the use of
weekly customs entry procedures. The
request indicates that the savings from
FTZ procedures would help improve
the facility’s international
competitiveness.

regulations, Elizabeth Whiteman of the
