Why did FEC eliminate the annual goal setting requirements?
The FEC previously required its Facility Partners to develop and submit annual goals each year. These goals were intended to help partners consider and set priorities for electronics stewardship each year. With the signing of Executive Order 13423, electronics stewardship goals were defined for the entire federal government, including FEC Facility Partners. The FEC, in consultation with the Federal Electronics Stewardship Working Group, opted to eliminate the requirement for Facility Partners to set annual goals. FEC Facility Partners that submitted their 2008 Goals Identification Form prior to April 1, 2008, may count this as an Optional Activity for a 2009 FEC Award application.
