Consistent with the Government Performance and Results Act, the 2004 budget proposes to merge construction funds into the Salaries and Expenses Account and streamline the FBI's decision unit structure from 10 program activities to 4 to align the FBI's budget more closely with the mission and strategic objectives contained in the DOJ Strategic Plan (FY 2001-2006). In addition, the budget has been realigned to reflect the FBI's outputs and full costs by major program activity, including the costs of management and administration, so that a more accurate picture of total activity costs is reflected in the budget. In this way, budget and performance are more closely linked, and provide a better basis on which to make budget decisions. Over time, agencies will be expected to identify effective outcome measures, monitor their progress, and accurately present the associated costs.

Program Reductions -153 -153 -25,957

1. Crosscutting Efficiencies

The Department continues to evaluate its programs and operations with the goal of achieving across-the-board economies of scale that result in increased efficiencies, reduced duplication of effort, and cost savings. The crosscutting savings identified are the result of consolidating facilities management, improving deployment of human resources personnel, outsourcing fleet maintenance and management, outsourcing Background Investigation Contract Services (BICS), centralizing procurement for relocation costs, and consolidating JCN/WAN IT support.

Reimbursable Workyear Changes [-44] [-44] [4,327]

A decrease of $4,327,000 and 44 reimbursable workyears is for health care fraud enforcement. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996 provides a total of $114,000,000 in reimbursable funding for FY 2004, the same level as FY 2003. Since FY 2004 adjustments to base result in the FBI exceeding the statutory funding limit, the FBI must eliminate 44 workyears to offset the adjustments to base.

Consistent with the Government Performance and Results Act, the 2004 budget proposes to merge construction funds into the Salaries and Expenses Account and streamline the FBI's decision unit structure from 10 program activities to 4 to align the FBI's budget more closely with the mission and strategic objectives contained in the DOJ Strategic Plan (FY 2001-2006). In addition, the budget has been realigned to reflect the FBI's outputs and full costs by major program activity, including the costs of management and administration, so that a more accurate picture of total activity costs is reflected in the budget. In this way, budget and performance are more closely linked, and provide a better basis on which to make budget decisions. Over time, agencies will be expected to identify effective outcome measures, monitor their progress, and accurately present the associated costs.

Program Reductions	-153	-153	-25,957
1. Crosscutting Efficiencies
The Department continues to evaluate its programs and operations with the goal of achieving across-the-board economies of scale that result in increased efficiencies, reduced duplication of effort, and cost savings. The crosscutting savings identified are the result of consolidating facilities management, improving deployment of human resources personnel, outsourcing fleet maintenance and management, outsourcing Background Investigation Contract Services (BICS), centralizing procurement for relocation costs, and consolidating JCN/WAN IT support.
Reimbursable Workyear Changes	[-44]	[-44]	[4,327]
A decrease of $4,327,000 and 44 reimbursable workyears is for health care fraud enforcement. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996 provides a total of $114,000,000 in reimbursable funding for FY 2004, the same level as FY 2003. Since FY 2004 adjustments to base result in the FBI exceeding the statutory funding limit, the FBI must eliminate 44 workyears to offset the adjustments to base.
