Federal Manager's Daily Report

The administration has released its red-yellow-green

management scorecard for the fourth quarter of 2005, rating

agencies on the five areas of the president’s management

agenda.

There were 14 changes in status overall. Interior and

Justice upgraded to green for human capital while the

Smithsonian Institution went up to yellow and Commerce

dropped to yellow for the same.

Education and the Small Business Administration received

green ratings for competitive sourcing while Energy

dropped to yellow.

The General Services Administration was given a green

rating for financial performance.

Six agencies dropped in their ratings for e-government:

Interior, Justice, and the Agency for International

Development now have red ratings, while State, the

Environmental Protection Agency, and NASA, are now rated

yellow. Clay Johnson, deputy director for management at

the Office of Management and Budget said the agencies

failed to complete key milestones in their e-government

implementation plans.

Ratings for the integration of budget and performance

remained the same, all green and yellow except for

Veteran’s Affairs, the Army Corps of Engineers, and OMB.
