The formula-driven calculation projects investment data at 3, 6, and 9 year intervals from the investment award. The formula is based on a study done by Rutgers University, which compiled and analyzed the performance of EDA construction investments after 9 years. This approach was reviewed and validated by third-party analysis conducted by Grant Thornton in 2008. Based on this formula and a review of EDA's historical results, EDA estimates that 40% of the 9-year projection would be realized after 3 years, 75% after 6 years, and 100% after 9 years.

This performance indicator measures the number of EDA grants made to made to communities and regions to help build the capacity to support the export-related activities and needs of businesses.

By providing broadband technical assistance and support, NTIA will provide the foundation for state and local governments to attract broadband infrastructure investments. Broadband infrastructure leads to the delivery of new jobs, better service delivery, and creation of innovative technologies benefitting hospital, schools, and students

Provide broadband technical assistance to unserved and underserved communities to attract new business investments and spur economic growth. Various communities that were unable to receive NTIA assistance during the BTOP grant period can now take advantage of NTIA’s technical expertise during NTIA’s subsequent outreach program, thereby leveraging the expansion of broadband. This performance metric measures the additional communities that NTIA will assist.

An Economic Benefit is a dollar value of all financial/contractual transactions, capacity investments and increases in sales to MBEs via the asisstance of MBDA programs, services and resources.

This measure tracks progress toward the recovery of endangered, threatened, or depleted protected species under NMFS’ jurisdiction. The species included in this measure are listed as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) or as depleted under the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA). Decreases may occur when species are de-listed or when separate stocks of a listed species are merged. Recovery of threatened, endangered, or depleted species can take decades. It may not be possible to recover or de-list a species in the near term, but progress can be made to stabilize or increase the species population. For some species, this means trying to stop steep population declines, while for others it means trying to increase their numbers.
