During the summer of 1996, in reviewing early strategic planning efforts, OMB alerted agencies that augmented interagency coordination was needed at that time to ensure consistency among goals in crosscutting programs areas. However, the draft strategic plans we reviewed during the summer of 1997 often lacked evidence that agencies in crosscutting program areas had worked with other agencies to ensure that goals were consistent; strategies were coordinated; and, as appropriate, performance measures were similar. Agencies ' September plans better described crosscutting programs and coordination efforts. Some plans, for example, contained references to other agencies that shared responsibilities in a crosscutting program area or discussed the need to coordinate their programs with other agencies. NRC better explained its crosscutting For example, as noted earlier, functions in its September plan. In addition, the Environmental Protection EPA Agency's ( ) plan contains an appendix that lists the federal agencies EPA coordinated. This appendix describes the major steps in with which the coordination process and lists by strategic goal the agencies with which EPA believes greater integration and review of efforts will be needed. Similarly, the plan for the Department of Transportation contains a table that shows the contributions of other federal agencies to each of its NRC EPA major mission areas.
