NTIA - Communities to which NTIA provides technical assistance
performance.commerce.gov | Last Updated 2023-01-18T23:06:53.000ZProvide broadband technical assistance to unserved and underserved communities to attract new business investments and spur economic growth. Various communities that were unable to receive NTIA assistance during the BTOP grant period can now take advantage of NTIA’s technical expertise during NTIA’s subsequent outreach program, thereby leveraging the expansion of broadband. This performance metric measures the additional communities that NTIA will assist.

NOAA - Aviation ceiling/visibility forecast accuracy Instrument Flight Rules (%)
performance.commerce.gov | Last Updated 2024-03-28T20:35:23.000ZVisibility and cloud ceiling forecasts are critical for aircraft safety and efficient operations. When visibility or cloud ceilings are low, pilots rely on instruments to navigate instead of visual reconnaissance. The Federal Aviation Administration establishes Instrument Flight Rule (IFR) thresholds—visibility less than three statute miles and/or cloud ceilings at, or below, 1000 feet—for safety. NWS assesses the quality of IFR threshold forecasts in response to these requirements. Fundamental statistical metrics, specifically Probability of Detection (POD) and False Alarm Ratio (FAR), are used to track IFR forecast performance. Probability of Detection (POD), also known as Accuracy, is a ratio that describes the number of times IFR is correctly forecasted compared to the total number of IFR occurrences. FAR is a ratio that describes the number of IFR forecasts when IFR was not observed compared to the total number of forecast attempts. These two metrics must always be used in conjunction, as one can be improved at the expense of the other. Greater accuracy and a minimized FAR result in safer flights and fewer flight delays; conversely, poorer accuracy and an increased FAR result in a greater incidence of unnecessary flight delays.

So if a FAR actual is higher than the target, then the target has not been met. If the actual is the same number or less, then it has been met or exceeded.
