Which Act requires annual performance plans and reports?

• A. Government Performance and Results Act
• B. GPRA 1993
• C. Government Performance Plans Act
• D. 1993 GPRA

Answer: (D)

The requirement for annual performance plans and annual performance reports comes from GPRA enacted in 1993. This statute established a performance-based management framework for federal agencies, mandating that each agency prepare an annual performance plan with defined goals and measures and an annual performance report that compares actual results to those goals. Stating the year in the citation (1993 GPRA) identifies the original act that introduced these specific requirements; later amendments, like the GPRA Modernization Act, built on it, but the obligation to produce yearly plans and reports traces back to the 1993 act.
