S00311-001 USTS Measurement System. Budget Function/Subfunction: Other advancement and regulation of commerce (403). Agency Contact: John F. Klein, Chief, ADP Operations Division. 967-2520. This system is used to determine the progress and effectiveness toward achieving the objectives of the United States Travel Service (USTS) Integrated Marketing Plan. The system measures the extent to which USTS stimulates: (1) actual and potential travel to the United States; (2) other organizations to take specific actions which will directly increase travel to the United States; and (3) domestic organizations to improve their receptive capabilities for foreign visitors. These results are measured quantitatively in terms of the number of foreign visitors and amount of foreign exchange earnings resulting directly from programs initiated or funded by USTS. System input data consist of annual plans and quarterly reports. These plans and reports are submitted on Form USTS-35 to the Office of Administration, USTS who in turn submits the data to the computer for processing through the DOC, ATS system. The outputs produced by the system are a series of reports that measure plans vs actuals and the resulting variances for selected time periods. S00313-001 National Fire Data Center.
