(4) a description of how the goals and objectives are to be achieved, including—
(A)
a description of the operational processes, skills and technology, and the human, capital, information, and other resources required to achieve those goals and objectives; and
(B)
a description of how the agency is working with other agencies to achieve its goals and objectives as well as relevant Federal Government priority goals;
(5)
a description of how the goals and objectives incorporate views and suggestions obtained through congressional consultations required under subsection (d);
(6)
a description of how the performance goals provided in the plan required by section 1115(a) of title 31, including the agency priority goals required by section 1120(b) of title 31, if applicable, contribute to the general goals and objectives in the strategic plan;

an identification of those key factors external to the agency and beyond its control that could significantly affect the achievement of the general goals and objectives; and
