Improvement Plan

About Improvement Plans

We are taking the following actions to improve the performance of the program:

  • Focusing on performance goals that were not met in 2006, documenting progress for newer measures, and posting existing independent evaluations that demonstrate how programs are achieving results.
  • Completing a production readiness review that examines risk and thresholds of schedule, performance, and cost to include advanced targeting in ACE and the International Trade Data System.
  • Implementing an outreach strategy engaging industrial communities and companies to achieve future targets, measuring targeted top duty-paying companies against periodic payment participation.
