The Commission on the Accountability and Review of Federal Agencies Act (CARFA) is a legislative proposal to implement and apply the principles of BRAC to all federal agencies, seeking to improve government efficiency by focusing on a narrow set of criteria to eliminate wasteful, duplicative, and outdated programs, coupled with a single up-or-down vote on all the recommendations together. CARFA’s most significant contribution to budgeting is its expedited fast-track procedure for considering final recommendations, which has been incorporated into various leadership proposals.
