Minerals Management Service Government Performance and Results Act Strategic Plan; Comment Solicitation

AGENCY: Minerals Management Service, Interior.

ACTION: Notice, request for comments.

SUMMARY: The Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) of 1993 requires that agencies update and revise their strategic plans at least every 3 years. GPRA also states that agencies must consult with the Congress and solicit and consider the views and suggestions of other parties that could be affected by, or are interested in, the agency's plan during the plan's development. Minerals Management Service (MMS) will revise its strategic plan this year, and would welcome comments from interested parties. We will consider these comments while drafting the revision to our strategic plan this summer.

MMS will provide several forums for its customers, stakeholders, and other interested parties to provide input during the revision of its strategic plan, including:

‹bullet› Commenters may input electronically through the MMS web site presented in the Supplementary Information section.

‹bullet› Commenters may provide feedback with written correspondence to the addresses in the Addresses section.

‹bullet› MMS may hold public consultation sessions (see Supplementary Information).

DATES: You are requested to provide electronic and written comments no later than June 1, 1999. You should submit your expressions of interest in MMS holding public consultation sessions by May 7, 1999.

ADDRESSES: Send written comments to Mr. James McNamee, Minerals Management Service, PO Box 25165, MS 9200, Denver, CO 80225. Send E- mail comments to Strategic.Planning.Team@MMS.Gov (you also may submit comments through the Internet by using the link available at the web site in Supplementary Information).

If you do not have electronic access, please request a copy of the plan from the addresses in the Addresses section.

Public Consultation Sessions: MMS will schedule public consultation sessions in the latter part of May 1999 in Washington, DC, and Denver, Colorado, if there is sufficient interest. Interested parties should reply to the addresses in the Addresses section no later than May 7, 1999. Session participants should be familiar with the current plan.
