Which act originally mandated the Government Performance & Results Act (GPRA)?

• A. 2010 GPRA Modernization Act
• B. 1993 Government Performance & Results Act
• C. Federal Performance Act
• D. National Performance and Budget Act

Answer: (B)

The act that originally mandated GPRA is the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993. This legislation required federal agencies to adopt a formal, results-oriented approach: setting long-term goals, measuring performance against those goals, and reporting on results to Congress. It established the framework for performance-based planning, budgeting, and reporting that GPRA would formalize and extend in later years. The 2010 GPRA Modernization Act later updated and strengthened GPRA, but it did not originate it. The other options do not correspond to the historical origin of GPRA.
