Short Statement: DoD has fully implemented the GFP module in the PIEE systems. Use of the GFP module to collect GFP data has increased the accuracy and efficiency of the collection in comparison to the previous methodology. As a result, the volume of responses reported in the GFP module has increased significantly while the estimated hours to report the data has decreased. DoD use of the GFP module has increased the Government’s number of reviews as a direct result of the increased number of responses, however the estimated cost to review and analyze responses has decreased due to efficiencies provided by the GFP module.
