L. 111–352), holds federal agencies accountable for using resources wisely and achieving program results. Specifically, the GPRA Modernization Act requires agencies to develop: Strategic Plans, which include a mission statement, long-term goals, objectives, and strategies to achieve them over a four-year time horizon; and two-year Agency Priority Goals to drive significant progress toward Agency leadership priorities. The GPRA Modernization Act also requires agencies to develop Annual Performance Plans, which provide annual performance measures and activities toward the Strategic Plan, and Annual Performance Reports, which evaluate an agency’s success in achieving the annual performance measures. The Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking Act of 2018 (Pub. L. 115– 435) amended GPRA and requires two additional components in the Strategic Plan: An evidence-building plan, known as a Learning Agenda, which identifies policy-relevant questions for which agencies intend to develop evidence; and a Capacity Assessment, which gauges agencies’ capacity to support the development and use of evaluation and other evidence. The Strategic Plan includes seven strategic goals focused on protecting human health and the environment and four cross-agency strategies that describe the essential ways EPA will work to carry out its mission. The Strategic Plan also establishes long-term performance goals and FY 2022–2023 Agency Priority Goals by which EPA will hold itself accountable to monitor progress in protecting human health and the environment in collaboration with EPA’s partners and stakeholders.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The GPRA Modernization Act of 2010 (Pub. L. 111-352), holds federal 
agencies accountable for using resources wisely and achieving program 
results. Specifically, the GPRA Modernization Act requires agencies to 
develop: Strategic Plans, which include a mission statement, long-term 
goals, objectives, and strategies to achieve them over a four-year time 
horizon; and two-year Agency Priority Goals to drive significant 
progress toward Agency leadership priorities. The GPRA Modernization 
Act also requires agencies to develop Annual Performance Plans, which 
provide annual performance measures and activities toward the Strategic 
Plan, and Annual Performance Reports, which evaluate an agency's 
success in achieving the annual performance measures.
    The Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking Act of 2018 (Pub. 
L. 115-435) amended GPRA and requires two additional components in the 
Strategic Plan: An evidence-building plan, known as a Learning Agenda, 
which identifies policy-relevant questions for which agencies intend to 
develop evidence; and a Capacity Assessment, which gauges agencies' 
capacity to support the development and use of evaluation and other 
evidence.
    The Strategic Plan includes seven strategic goals focused on 
protecting human health and the environment and four cross-agency 
strategies that describe the essential ways EPA will work to carry out 
its mission. The Strategic Plan also establishes long-term performance 
goals and FY 2022-2023 Agency Priority Goals by which EPA will hold 
itself accountable to monitor progress in protecting human health and 
the environment in collaboration with EPA's partners and stakeholders.
