United States Consumer Product Safety Commission 2006 Performance Budget Request. Saving Lives and Keeping Families Safe;Rept. to Congress

摘要

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's (CPSC) performance budget request for 2006 is $62,499,000. This is an increase of $350,000 from our 2005 appropriation and funds the agency at approximately 446 FTEs in 2006. Planned FTE level was 471 (our actual FTE level is currently 460). After making adjustments to reflect annual project inventory workload changes in 2006, we applied the resource adjustments proportionately to all activities. However, we are in the process of evaluating our entire program to decide where to make the necessary adjustments to make certain that CPSC fulfills its mission of protecting families. CPSC delivers important safety benefits to the American public every day. Despite increases in the U.S. population and the number of consumer products, our work has contributed significantly to the almost 30 percent decline in the rate of deaths and injuries related to hazardous consumer products since the agency's inception.
