This performance indicator measures the estimated number of jobs created and retained attributable to EDA investments made in/to underserved communities and populations.

Proposed new indicator for FY 2022. Measure is under development.

This measure tracks the percentage of fish stocks that are below their annual catch limit (ACL) in a given year. In 2007, Congress enacted a requirement to use ACLs to end and prevent overfishing. The use of ACLs has been successful in ending and preventing overfishing, as stock assessments have shown the number of stocks subject to overfishing continuing to decline. Performance is measured by comparing the final annual catch estimate to the ACL for each stock that has an ACL. If the final annual catch estimate for the stock is less than the ACL, NOAA will report that the stock did not exceed its ACL.

The AHHI provides an indicator of the overall amount of U.S. EEZ that is currently surveyed to an appropriate level of certainty to support safe navigation. The index is measured based on an internal model that assessed the degree of certainty needed for a a given area based on several factors – for instance, highly tracked and shallower areas need higher resolution surveys, and must be resurveyed more frequently to capture natural and human-caused changes (e.g., from storms, dredging, or maritime accidents). The index has a maximum score of 300; areas that are more important to maritime industry are weighted more heavily in the index.

This performance indicator measures the estimated sum of private investment leveraged, by communities and regions, attributable to the EDA investment made to support the travel and tourism sector.

Funding drives much of the discussion around what an organization can achieve. Measuring the impacts of EDA grants on grantees’ and clients’ abilities to gain additional funding is a strong indicator of grant success. This KPI reflects on the amount of financing and investment deals EDA's grantees and their clients obtained as a result of the grant and its provided services.
