The Commerce Data Governance Board (CDGB) has working groups that develop and create meta data for performance metrics that that will be used by multiple or all bureaus. Each group has an action plan with due dates. This measure reports the percent of the actions in these plans that are on schedule within one quarter of the original due date.

The Commerce Data Governance Board (CDGB) develops and publishes a Data Strategy Action Plan. This measure reports the percent of the actions in the plan that have been completed within one month of the scheduled due date.

This indicator describes a major service that ES provides to its customer base via the Acquisition Tower -- that being the delivery of supplies and/or services from requirements submission to final contract award (i.e., the full procurement cycle). 100% <= 120 Days. The sources for these data are the C. Suite System (Procurement Action Lead Time Report) and the ES Tableau Data Environment.

The measure captures the count of significant and discrete OAR research and development products that have transitioned to development, demonstration, or an application. Products include transitions occurring within OAR and applying group(s) outside of OAR. This includes research, development, and demonstration performed and supported by OAR as well as utilization of OAR R&D products by external parties.

The process of designating or expanding National Marine Sanctuaries (NMS) and National Estuarine Research Reserves (NERRs) can take several years. To provide more regular updates, measure tracks progress in advancing proposed designations and expansions through these processes. The area for a proposed expansion or designation is only added to the measure once it completes a step in process, and only steps completed on or after 10/1/2021 are counted. For Sanctuaries, target and actual areas (sq. miles) are estimated based on proposal information; they remain estimates until actual designation or expansion is complete. For NERRs, the area for a proposed reserve cannot be estimated (and therefore are not included in targets or actuals) until the state-directed site selection process is complete and a range of alternatives (i.e., proposed reserve boundaries) has been developed for the environmental analysis process.

The number of existing full time and/or part time employment positions created and/or retained as reported by a MBE client served.

This indicator tracks the Office of Space Commerce’s production or implementation of new business instruments that support the needs of the U.S. commercial space industry. These include government/industry workshops, online tools, markets studies, and reports.

This measure tracks cumulative progress of NOAA’s National Geodetic Survey toward completing gravity observations for the Redefinition of the American Vertical Datum (GRAV-D) initiative and implementation of a new National Vertical Datum. The measure indicates the percentage of the U.S. for which NOAA has airborne gravity data necessary to support the new National Vertical Datum. This improved vertical reference system is critical for all observing systems and activities requiring accurate heights. For example, this system is important for helping determine where water flows in order to make accurate inundation models and assessments.
