EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
PURPOSE
The Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 (GPRA) requires agencies
to prepare an annual performance plan and report in support of a long-term strategic
plan. This document provides the Final FY 2002 Performance Report, Final FY
2003 Performance Plan and Draft FY 2004 Performance Plan for the Agency for
Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR).
AGENCY MISSION
As the lead public health agency responsible for implementing the health-related
provisions of Superfund (the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation
and Liability Act of 1980), ATSDR is charged with assessing health hazards at
specific hazardous waste sites, helping to prevent or reduce exposure and the
illnesses that result, and increasing knowledge and understanding of the health
effects that may result from exposure to hazardous substances.
ATSDR's mission, as revised in the strategic plan for 2002-2007, is:
To serve the public by using the best science, taking responsive public
health actions, and providing trusted health information to prevent harmful
exposures and disease related to toxic substances.
The mission is supported by the Agency goals:
Goal 1. Evaluate human health risks from toxic sites and take action in a timely and responsive public health manner.
Goal 2. Ascertain the relationship between exposure to toxic substances and disease.
Goal 3. Develop and provide reliable, understandable information for affected communities, tribes, and stakeholders.
Goal 4. Build and enhance effective partnerships.
Goal 5. Foster a quality work environment at ATSDR.
To achieve the mission and goals, ATSDR works with its sister agency, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and a host of partner organizations. With a shared vision, ATSDR works with these organizations to serve:
