The Federal Trade Commission has submitted to Congress its Fiscal Year 2020 budget request in support of the President’s FY 2020 budget for the federal government. The budget request also includes the FY 2020 Budget Overview Statement, Performance Plan for FY 2019 and FY 2020, and Performance Report for FY 2018, as required under the Government Performance and Results and Modernization Act of 2010.

The Commission vote to submit the budget request, performance plan and performance report to Congress was 5-0. (FTC File No P859900; the staff contact James Hale, Financial Management Office, 202-326-2385.)

The agency has also published an addendum to its strategic plan. The addendum removes one performance measure from the plan and replaces it with two new performance measures. The FY 2018-2022 Strategic Plan is the FTC’s road map of goals, objectives and strategies that guides the agency’s work and serves as the basis for reporting the agency’s performance results.
