Performance-based budgeting is based on the premise that each agency’s budget recommendations/requirements must be directly linked to an agency’s mission, goals, and objectives. OMB policy requires an integrated budget and performance submission describing outcomes and outputs in sufficient detail to adequately allow OMB to review an agency’s budget submission. To be consistent with this policy, agency budget submissions must include integration of performance measures that allow objective determination of an activity’s success in achieving its goals and the resources needed to achieve those goals. To execute this policy, it is imperative that agency budget requests be linked to performance to provide the means for determining what results are expected from the use of financial and personnel resources.
