The GSA code considers sub- and alternate-domains to be separate websites, which would skew all visit-based metrics, including Bounce Rate, Visits, Visit Duration, Pages per Visit, etc, for the EPA website.  For example, if someone visited www.epa.gov and immediately clicked on a link to www.water.epa.gov, the GSA code would record a Bounce (a Visit that includes only one Pageview) and a Visit of only a few seconds, when the Visit should actually include all EPA pages, regardless of the domain."},{"type":"text","name":"8-2-1-percent","label":"Percent of websites covered","options":[],"value":"98"},{"type":"text","name":"8-2-1-url","label":"URL of performance data","options":[],"value":null}],"multiple":false},{"id":"8.2.2","parent":"8.2","text":"Implement customer satisfaction tool","due":"8 months","due_date":"2013\/1\/22","fields":[{"type":"textarea","name":"8-2-2-implementation","label":"Describe Implementation","options":[],"value":"EPA has implemented the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) ForeSee survey tool to measure customer satisfaction on its public websites.
