3. Why brief Tribes at the Area level? • The request was made of the GPRA performance team after several meetings with the National Tribal Budget Formulation Workgroup (NTBFWG). • The tribal representatives to the NTBFWG understood the relationship between budget and performance integration at their FY 2012 evaluation meeting in June 2010.

4. Why brief Tribes at the Area level? • They asked for a performance update at each annual meeting. • They also asked that this information be shared at the Area level so that Area tribes understand budget and performance integration concepts. • Area GPRA Coordinators will be asked to become involved in the Area level Tribal Budget Formulation meetings.

5. Annual Budget Cycle in the Indian Health Service GPRA requires federal budgets to be integrated with performance

6. Health and Human Services Justification (HHSJ) • It is an opportunity for each HHS agency to let the Secretary know what funds they need for the fiscal year. • It is prepared in May and submitted the 1st week of June. • The budget is justified in the program narratives. • Performance targets are calculated based upon the budget request and the programs write to those targets. • IHS receives Department passback by the end of July or early August.

7. OMBJ and the Online Performance Appendix (OPA) • This is the agency’s request for funds based upon the Department passback of the HHSJ. • It is prepared in August and submitted to OMB the 2nd week of September. • Performance targets are calculated and programs write to those targets. • The Monday after Thanksgiving is when IHS receives the OMB passback. • Final passback is mid-December, but IHS has received it as late as January 2.

8. OMBJ and the Online Performance Appendix (OPA), cont • The passback has comments and questions about anything written in each document: the budget tables, program narratives, performance discussions in either the OMBJ or OPA. • The OPA meets the agency’s requirement to submit a performance plan and a performance report since both the plan and the report are discussed in the OPA.

9. Congressional Justification (CJ) and the OPA • The CJ and OPA are prepared during December and January. • The most current performance results are entered into each document (e.g., for the FY 2012 CJ, IHS will enter FY 2010 clinical GPRA results and other GPRA and PART results that are available). • Performance targets are again calculated and programs write to those targets.

10. Congressional Justification (CJ) and the OPA, cont • February 7, 2011 is when the FY 2012 CJ and OPA will be “published” on the IHS Budget Formulation webpage. • http://www.ihs.gov/NonMedicalPrograms/BudgetFormulation/bf_cong_justifications.asp
