Description

This project funded an independent contractor to ensure that all of the PCSRF projects were updated in the Phase II database as well as assisting the member tribes of the Klamath River Inter-Tribal Fish and Water Commission in processing their progress reports, financial reports and deciphering missing information in the database. Weekly correspondence was made with the member tribes project managers, notifying them of missing information, corrections needed, assistance in making changes and/or corrections and notification of upcoming deadlines.

Project Benefit

Congress and OMB has stipulated that NOAA must measure and report performance in the PCSRF database. Thus it is essential that accurate project data be entered into the database on a timely basis. NOAA has ensured funding for this staff is appropriate use of funds.

Description and scope of the plan implemented

Overall the PCSRF program has received increased scrutiny. The Inspector General did select program audits under their Performance Assessment Rating Tool (PART), and was critical of the fiscal accountability and oversight performed by some organizations. NOAA has addressed the PART findings by updating the MOU's with each entity and will require more frequent reporting on a quarterly basis for quality control. In addition, Congressional appropriations report language has expressed "concern" over the lack of effective performance measures for the program. Data quality and completeness in the PCSRF database has become a critical component of the PCSRF program as it is the coastwise inventory of performance metrics and the basis for measuring program performance. it is essential that accurate project data be entered into the PCSRF database on a timely basis. The initiation of the quarterly validation reprots is revealing areas where data quality reviews are necessary. Additional staff will be secured to address PCSRF data input and quality issues. This project is for costs associated with reentering existing PCSRF database information into the new database and for obtaining all data missing from the old database and incorporating the information into the new database. Data quality and completeness has become a critical component of the PCSRF program and providing staffing and related expenses for a person to ensure completion is the objective of this program.
