Progress Made by Programs Receiving “Results Not Demonstrated (RND)” on the OMB PART Evaluations
Road Maintenance Program: Percentage of BIA-Owned Roads in Acceptable Condition [FY 2008 – FY 2010 Q1] • Less than 15% of BIA-owned roads are in acceptable condition – compared to 81% nationally • Many BIA-owned roads not designed to high standards (e.g., currently gravel and dirt roads) • Priorities for maintaining federal roads are at the discretion of Tribes • $142 million in ARRA funding is expected to add 200-300 miles of road in acceptable condition • FY 2010 Q1 has shown marked improvement
Law Enforcement Program: Violent Crime per 100,000[FY 2008 – FY 2010 Q1] • Violent crime is seasonal - peaks in summer months • Crime rate has trended upward - from 419 per thousand in FY 2007 to 479 in FY 2009 • Violent crime in FY 2010 Q1 dropped significantly from FY 2009 Q1 partly to the Safe Communities Initiative • DOI’s high priority goal is to reduce violent crime on selected reservations by 5% in two years • FY 2010 – 2012 violent crime rate is expected to decline by 10% as vacancies are filled at a faster rate and with additional funding for increased FBI presence in Indian Country
Probate Program: Estates Closed [FY 2008 – FY 2010 Q1] • Ongoing goal is to close over 90% of all estates cleared by the Office of Hearings and Appeals • Continuing resolutions in FY 2008 and FY 2009 slowed the hiring rate for contract workers • 90% of estates were closed in FY 09 despite a case workload that almost doubled from 4,500 to 8,901. • Standardization and streamlining of business processes has enabled Office of Trust Services to maintain a high percent of case closings.
Forestry Program: Allowable Harvest Offered for Sale [FY 2008 – FY 2010 Q1] • Depressed housing market has decreased demand for and the prices paid for forest products • Decline in demand resulted in a 44% decline between FY 2007 and FY 2009 • Performance will not improve until housing market rebounds • BIA partnership with Intertribal Timber Council will explore potential niche market for forest products • May need to broaden the concept of “forest products” to capitalize on “biomass” available from harvesting. May have a stronger demand in an energy-conscious, green environment.
Bureau of Indian Education: Adequate Yearly Progress [FY 2008 – FY 2010 Q1] • Only annual data are reported on this performance measure • Percent of schools making AYP dropped from 32% to 24% in SY 2007-2008 • The decline occurred because reading and proficiency standards were raised in 21 of the 23 states where BIA schools are funded • BIE intensive efforts in enhanced reading and math programs should increase percentages of schools making AYP to 44% by SY 2012
