NOAA - Geomagnetic storm forecast accuracy (%)
performance.commerce.gov | Last Updated 2019-11-13T14:56:24.000ZThis performance measure tracks the ability of forecasters at NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction (SWPC) to accurately predict geomagnetic storms, which potentially disrupt power systems, spacecraft operations, and navigation systems. The NOAA geomagnetic storm scale (G-scale) ranges from the G1 or minor level where weak power grid fluctuations can occur to the G5 or extreme level. During a G5 event, where aurora may be visible over most of the United States, the power grid can experience equipment damage causing system collapse or blackout; significant satellite damage can occur; and global positioning systems may be inaccurate or temporarily unavailable. Geomagnetic Storm Forecast Accuracy is a percentage that reflects the amount of time that the SWPC geomagnetic storm forecast is correct over a 24-hour period. The 24 hour geomagnetic storm forecast is considered accurate if a G1 or greater storm event was correctly predicted. This calculation also includes geomagnetic storms which were not forecast. This measure is verified based on ground-based magnetometer observations. This measure is averaged over the 60 most recent geomagnetic storms to maintain statistical significance.

Census - American Community Survey data products released as scheduled
performance.commerce.gov | Last Updated 2019-12-06T15:42:09.000ZThe American Community Survey (ACS) includes the release of detailed social, economic, and housing data. The ACS replaced the Decennial Census’ long form in 2005. People increasingly depend on the most current Census Bureau population and income data to made decision on business locations and investments in real estate. Communities rely on this data to measure the demand for housing, predict future needs, and identify trends.

NTIA - Miles of broadband networks deployed (Infrastructure Projects).
performance.commerce.gov | Last Updated 2019-11-27T16:45:58.000ZBTOP funded projects provide broadband services in unserved and enhance broadband in underserved areas of the U.S. The BTOP portfolio of projects initially included 123 infrastructure projects totaling $3.5 billion in federal grant funds to construct broadband networks and to connect community anchor institutions (CAIs), such as schools, libraries, hospitals, and public safety facilities. This indicator’s target is the cumulative total number of miles of network deployed using BTOP funding.

EDA - Percentage of University Center clients taking action as a result of the assistance facilitated by the University Center
performance.commerce.gov | Last Updated 2019-12-06T17:47:51.000ZThis measure determines the perceived value added by the University Centers (UCs) to their clients. EDA funds UCs to provide technical assistance and specialized services (for example, feasibility studies, marketing research, economic analysis, environmental services, and technology transfer) to local officials and communities. This assistance improves the community’s capacity to plan and manage successful development projects. UCs develop client profiles and report findings to EDA, which evaluates the performance of each center once every 3 years and verifies the data. “Taking action as a result of the assistance facilitated” means to implement an aspect of the technical assistance provided by the UC in one of several areas: economic development initiatives and training session development; linkages to crucial resources; economic development planning; project management; community investment package development; geographic information system services; strategic partnering to public or private sector entities; increased organizational capacity; feasibility plans; marketing studies; technology transfer; new company, product, or patent development; and other services.

EDA - Percentage of those actions taken by University Center clients that achieved the expected results
performance.commerce.gov | Last Updated 2019-12-06T17:49:04.000ZThis measure is a follow up to the previous measure: "Percentage of University Center (UC) clients taking action as a result of the assistance facilitated by the UC." This measure determines if the assistance provided by the UC is market based and results in desired outcomes. UCs develop client profiles and report to EDA, which will evaluate and verify the performance of each UC once every three years.
