Ex--53 Agency Information Technology (IT) Investment Portfolio

Summary of Changes

Adds information on the Federal Enterprise Architecture, its use during
the agency budget formulation process, and the overall FY 2005 budget
process.

All terminology for IT management is changed to Investments (e.g., Major
IT Investments and Non-Major IT Investments). The term IT investments
includes projects, systems, IT workforce, and initiatives.

Add in Draft Initial Exhibit 53.

Adds information on attendant documents and their requirements (section
53.5).

Modifies definition and provides criteria for identifying systems as
\"Major IT Investment\" or \"Non-Major IT Investment" (section 53.7).

## 53.1 Why must I report on information technology Investments?

This information helps OMB:

-   Ensure that spending on IT supports an agency=s mission;

-   Identify investments in agency infrastructure and office automation;

-   Identify investments that support agency enterprise architecture
    development, business process re-engineering (BPR), IT policy
    development, and acquisition management;

-   Identify IT and E-Gov investments for review during the budget
    process;

-   Identify opportunities for agencies to collaborate on initiatives
    that provide common lines of business to serve citizens,
    governments, and internal federal operations, such as e-Government
    initiatives;

-   Ensure that spending on IT prioritizes and manages e-Government
    projects effectively through your agency\'s capital planning process
    and enterprise architecture;

-   Ensure that initiatives create a citizen-centered electronic
    presence and advance an e-Government strategy that includes specific
    outcomes to be achieved;

-   Understand the amounts being spent on development and modernization
    of IT versus the amount being spent on operating and maintaining the
    status quo for IT;

-   Understand an agency=s governance processes (capital planning and
    investment control processes and enterprise architecture) for the
    portfolio of IT investments;

-   Identify the funding sources for agency IT investments;

-   Identify investments for IT security as part of agency life-cycle
    costs for specific investments and IT security that is crosscutting
    or infrastructure related;

-   Ensure that life cycle costs for specific investments reflect
    compliance with OMB and agency privacy policies;

-   Provide a full and accurate accounting of IT investments for the
    agency as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 and the
    Clinger-Cohen Act of 1996;

-   Ensure that spending on IT supports agency compliance with the
    requirements of Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act Amendments of
    1998 (Electronic and Information Technology Accessibility) and
    Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Reasonable
    Accommodation);

-   Identify spending and priorities consistent with agency Government
    Paperwork Elimination Act (GPEA) Plans;

-   Identify investments that support Homeland Security goals and
    objectives;

-   Review requests for agency financial management systems;

-   Review requests for agency grant management systems; and

-   Prepare the Government‑wide five‑year plan required by the Chief
    Financial Officers (CFOs) Act of 1990.

You must provide this information using the Agency IT Investment
Portfolio (exhibit 53) reporting format. This format was developed
jointly by OMB and the Chief Information Officers= Council and provides
basic information your agency needs to link its internal planning,
budgeting, acquisition, and management of IT resources (i.e., the
capital planning and investment control process). In addition, as an
output of your agency=s internal capital planning process, your budget
justification for IT must provide results oriented information on IT
operations and improvement initiatives in the context of the agency=s
missions and operations. Your budget justification, including the status
and plans for information systems, should be consistent with your
agency=s submissions on financial management activities required by
section 52 and the applicable guidance in Part 7 of this Circular.

Total investments costs must cover the life of each system and include
all budgetary resources (direct appropriation, working capital fund,
revolving funds, etc.). Budgetary resources are defined in section 20 of
this circular. Life cycle costs should also be risk adjusted to include
any risks addressed on the Capital Asset Plan and Business Case that
have not been mitigated. Examples of areas that may cause the adjustment
of life-cycle costs would be strategic risks, technological risks, human
capital issues, acquisition strategy, IT security and privacy risks,
enterprise architecture, and any other issues identified on the capital
asset plan. These total investment costs must be formulated and reported
in order for OMB to meet the Clinger-Cohen Act=s requirement that \"at
the same time that the President submits the budget for a fiscal year to
Congress under section 1105(a) of title 31, United States Code, the
Director shall submit to Congress a report on the net program
performance benefits achieved as a result of major capital investments
made by executive agencies in information systems and how the benefits
relate to the accomplishment of the goals of the executive agencies.\"

## 53.2 How do I ensure that IT investments are linked to and support the President\'s Management Agenda?

All IT Investments must support the President\'s Management Agenda and
must clearly demonstrate that the investment is needed in order to close
a specific performance gap and enable agency strategic goals and
missions. The President\'s Management Agenda Scorecard Items are:

-   Human Capital;

-   Competitive Sourcing;

-   Financial Performance;

-   E-Government; and

-   Budget and Performance Integration.

The President\'s Budget also defines guiding principles for the
investments supporting the President\'s Management Agenda. The
principles OMB will use to implement the PMA and the supporting IT
investments are to ensure that investments:

-   Create a citizen centered, results oriented, and market based
    government;

-   Support Homeland Security, War on Terrorism, and Revitalizing the
    Economy;

-   Identify and manage corporate measures of success;

-   Simplify and unify redundant activities, both within and across
    agencies;

-   Where appropriate, investments are aligned with the President\'s
    E-Gov initiatives, identified at
    [www.whitehouse.gov/omb;](http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb;)

-   Represent sound business cases that address overall solutions (human
    capital, competitive sourcing, financial performance, e-government,
    and budget and performance integration) as applicable; and

-   Include strategic partnerships to perform business with state,
    local, other federal agencies, non-profit organizations, and private
    industry as appropriate.

OMB will give priority consideration to IT investments that leverage
technology purchases across multiple entities, ensure operational
objectives are met, utilize technology that improves decision making,
employ knowledge management tools, support the Federal Enterprise
Architecture, and ensure that systems and information are secure.

Agencies are creating departmental/agency-wide programs for office
automation, infrastructure, and telecommunications investments. These
investments will be reported on a single business case from the agency
and meets the requirements of supporting the President's Management
Agenda by simplifying and unifying redundant activities, both within and
across the agencies.

The PMA and the E-Government Act of 2002 require agencies to improve
government performance through business-focused collaboration and shared
use of effective technologies. The Federal Enterprise Architecture (FEA)
provides agencies and OMB with a set of tools to help meet those
requirements. Agencies, OMB, and the Presidents Management Council (PMC)
will also use the FEA to identify opportunities to improve performance
and reduce costs.

OMB has used and will continue to use the existing budget process to
prioritize investments that are consistent with this approach. During
the FY 2004 budget formulation process agencies, OMB, and the PMC used
the FEA Business Reference Model (BRM) to identify six business lines
where improvement was needed and/or redundancy existed. Consistent with
this there is a governance process to identify these opportunities and
Line of Business Owners where needed. A similar but more rigorous
approach will be used during FY 2005 budget formulation to identify
further improvement opportunities. This will be largely driven through
the characterization of major IT initiatives against selected reference
models as collected by OMB through Exhibit 300s.

This more rigorous approach requires a common way for OMB and agencies
to characterize IT investments by not only the business line they
support, but also the performance they seek to achieve and the
components and supporting technology that comprise them. During the FY
2005 budget formulation process, an FEA Performance Reference Model,
Service Component Reference Model, and Technical Reference Model are
available for agencies to characterize their major IT investments in
this manner. Once this characterization is complete, OMB, the CIO
Council, and agencies can work together through the budget process to
identify additional improvement and collaboration opportunities.

Major IT investments must align with the Federal Enterprise
Architecture. Firstly, agencies must align each major IT initiative with
the FEA Business Reference Model. This alignment will be identified
through the numbering scheme included within the Unique Project ID,
which is described in more detail in section 53.8 of this guidance. This
will identify the FEA Business Area, Line of Business, and Sub-function
to which the initiative aligns. The purpose of this alignment is to
begin to organize major IT investments so that potential opportunities
for collaboration can be identified. Once explored further, these
collaboration opportunities may be to leverage common business
processes, application and technology components, and/or eventually,
data.

For FY 2005, agencies are required to use the FEA Performance Reference
Model (PRM) to identify performance measurements for each major IT
investment. Agencies should use the PRM to identify specific
measurements in the following Measurement Areas: (1) Mission and
Business Results; (2) Customer Results; (3) Processes and Activities;
and (4) Technology. Each of these Measurement Areas includes Measurement
Categories and specific Indicators that agencies can "operationalize" or
tailor for their environment. Agencies should document their alignment
with the PRM through the Performance and Goals table in Section I.C of
Exhibit 300. This structure will begin to provide performance
information that aligns IT initiative to specific process outputs and
ultimately to customer and business outcomes. Agencies should think
carefully about the cause/effect relationship of the IT initiative, the
processes it is designed to improve, and the customer and business
outcomes the process influences.

OMB will present investments for the President\'s E-Government
initiatives, as well as new e-government investments identified through
the Federal Enterprise Architecture, using an integrated budget process
that compliments each agency\'s investment portfolio. OMB will work with
agencies to build from the IT and E-Government strategy outlined in this
section and section 300 in identifying these cross-agency investments.
Accordingly, where one agency\'s activities should be aligned with those
of another agency in order to serve citizens, businesses, governments,
and internal Federal operations, OMB will give priority to agencies that
have worked collectively to present and support activities in an
integrated fashion. The FY 2005 Budget will appropriately reflect such
interagency collaboration, and agencies will be expected to use the
Exhibit 300 to demonstrate these efforts. For the FY 2005 budget
formulation process, these reference models will be a key method by
which agencies, OMB, and the President's Management Council can identify
improvement opportunities. More detailed information can be found at
[www.feapmo.gov](http://www.feapmo.gov/).

Each of the line items for major projects on the Exhibit 53 are a
roll-up of particular line items and elements from the Exhibit 300
detailed in Section 300. Exhibit 300 is where the agency makes the
business cases, and the Exhibit 300 serves as the primary means of
justifying IT investment proposals as well as managing IT investments
once they are funded. The details of those business cases and their
viability inform the overall Exhibit 53 and the budget decisions that
are made.

As detailed in Section 300, business cases (Exhibit 300s) for IT
investments, must:

-   Demonstrate the overall strategy outlined in this section;

-   Follow the guiding principles of this section;

-   Support the agency\'s strategic plans and annual performance plans;

-   Link to and support the agency strategic Information Resources
    Management (IRM) Strategic plans;

-   Be a visible part of the modernization strategy of the agency
    (enterprise architecture);

-   Address solutions (people, processes, and technology) rather that
    hardware and software alone;

-   Demonstrate strong acquisition strategies that mitigate the risk to
    the federal government;

-   Demonstrate strong project management;

-   Identify, control, and manage risks associated with the investment;

-   Demonstrate how the investment is specifically addressing a
    performance gap or business need of the agency and how it supports
    the agency\'s strategic and performance goals;

-   Demonstrate the use of earned value management system information to
    manage and control the investment;

-   Ensure information and systems are secure and that security is part
    of the management of the process from initial concept and throughout
    the entire life cycle of the investment;

-   Protect privacy in a manner consistent with relevant laws and OMB
    policies, including privacy impact assessments where appropriate;

-   Demonstrate that project is achieving at least 90 percent of planned
    costs, schedule, and performance goals; and

-   Ensure life cycle costs as formulated are risk adjusted as necessary
    and are as inclusive as the business case would require.

The governance processes required as attendant documents to this section
(IRM Plan, document CPIC process, and the EA) are used in connection
with the business cases (Exhibit 300) and this \"Agency IT Investment
Portfolio\" (Exhibit 53) to demonstrate the agency management of IT
investments and how these governance processes are used to make
decisions about IT investments within the agency.

The individual agency Exhibit 53s are used to create an overall
\"Federal IT Investment Portfolio\" that is published as part of the
President\'s Budget. OMB\' s portfolio review and budget process will
ensure that IT investments support the strategy identified in this
section and ensure that the Federal IT Investment Portfolio includes the
most effective portfolio of investments that:

-   Simplify and integrate processes across redundant or duplicative
    programs to make it easier for citizens to get service;

-   Directly improve the management of programs to achieve better
    program outcomes;

-   Ensure sound security of government information systems and
    appropriate protection of information held in those systems;

-   Eliminate redundant or non productive IT investments;

-   Bring successful e-business practices to government administrative
    operations, such as effective procurement and human capital
    management strategies, including maximizing web-based architectures;

-   Make appropriate use of technology components identified through the
    component based architecture work of OMB and CIO Council;

-   Support the Federal Enterprise Architecture; and

-   Support the President\'s E-Government Initiatives and Strategy.

Annually, Chapter 22 of the Analytical Perspectives of the President\'s
Budget provides the results of OMB reviews for agency\'s capital
planning processes, enterprise architectures, business cases, efforts on
expanding e-government, IT performance management, and overall health
and well being of the management of the agency IT Investments. A
companion document entitled \"Performance Information for Major IT
Investments\" uses information from the Exhibit 300s and this section to
provide a snapshot of IT investments, their planned investments, support
of the agency strategic goals, and the performance goals and measures
identified for the investments.

#### Supporting the President's Management Agenda by Expanding E-Government:

**What it means to be green**

The agency has a Modernization Blueprint that focuses IT investments on
important agency functions and defines how those functions will be
measurably improved.

All major systems investments have an acceptable business case
(security, measures of success linked to the Modernization Blueprint,
program management, risk management, and cost, schedule, & performance
goals).

For all major IT projects, cost and schedule overruns average less than
10% and performance shortfalls average less than 10%.

Inspector General verifies that there is a Department-wide IT Security
[Plan of Action and Milestone]{.underline} remediation Process.

90% of operational IT systems are properly secured (e.g., certified and
accredited), including mission critical systems.

Agency contributes to, and participates in, 3 of the 4 categories of
E-Gov initiatives rather than creating redundant, or agency unique, IT
projects.

**What it means to be yellow**

More than 50% of major systems investments have an acceptable business
case.

Security Reports to OMB document consistent security improvement and
either:

-   80% of operational IT systems are properly secured.
    **[OR]{.underline}**

-   Inspector General verifies that there is a Department-wide IT
    Security [Plan of Action and Milestone]{.underline} remediation
    Process.

For all major IT projects, cost and schedule overruns average less than
30% and performance shortfalls average less than 30%.

Agency contributes to, and participates in, 2 of the 4 categories of
E-Gov initiatives rather than creating redundant, or agency unique, IT
projects.

## 53.3 What special terms must I know?

***Capital planning and investment control*** (CPIC) is the same as
capital programming and is a decision-making process for ensuring that
information technology (IT) investments integrate strategic planning,
budgeting, procurement, and the management of IT in support of agency
missions and business needs. The term comes from the Clinger-Cohen Act
of 1996 and generally is used in relationship to IT management issues.

***E-business*** (Electronic Business) means doing business online.
E-business is often used as an umbrella term for having an interactive
presence on the Web. A government e-business initiative or project
includes web-services type technologies, component based architectures,
and open systems architectures designed around the needs of the customer
(citizens, business, governments, and internal federal operations).

***E-government*** is the use by the government of web-based Internet
applications and other information technologies, combined with processes
that implement these technologies.

***Earned value management (EVM)*** is a project management tool that
effectively integrates the project scope of work with schedule and cost
elements for optimum project planning and control. The qualities and
operating characteristics of earned value management systems are
described in American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/Electronic
Industries Alliance (EIA) Standard --748--1998, *Earned Value Management
Systems*, approved May 19, 1998. A copy of Standard 748 is available
from Global Engineering Documents (1-800-854-7179). Information on
earned value management systems is available at
http://www.acq.osd.mil/pm.

***Federal Enterprise Architecture*** is a framework for describing the
relationship between business functions and the technologies and
information that support them. Major IT investments will be aligned
against each reference model within the FEA framework. The reference
models required to be used during the FY 2005 budget formulation process
are briefly described below.

> Business Reference Model (BRM) -- The BRM is a function-driven
> framework to describe the Lines of Business and Internal Functions
> performed by the federal government independent of the agencies that
> perform them. Major IT investments are mapped to the BRM to identify
> collaboration opportunities.
>
> Performance Reference Model (PRM) - The PRM is a standardized
> performance measurement framework to characterize performance in a
> common manner where necessary. The PRM will help agencies produce
> enhanced performance information; improve the alignment and better
> articulate the contribution of inputs, such as technology, to outputs
> and outcomes; and identify improvement opportunities that span
> traditional organizational boundaries.
>
> Service Component Reference Model (SRM) -- The SRM provides a common
> framework and vocabulary for characterizing the IT and business
> components that collectively comprise an IT investment. The SRM will
> help agencies rapidly assemble IT solutions through the sharing and
> re-use of business and IT components. A Component is a self-contained
> process, service, or IT capability with pre-determined functionality
> that may be exposed through a business or technology interface.
>
> Technical Reference Model (TRM) -- The TRM provides a foundation to
> describe the standards, specifications, and technologies supporting
> the delivery, exchange, and construction of business (or Service)
> components and e-Gov solutions. The TRM unifies existing Agency TRMs
> and electronic Government (e-Gov) guidance by providing a foundation
> to advance the re-use of technology and component services from a
> Government-wide perspective.

***Financial management systems*** are financial systems and the
financial portion of mixed systems (see definitions below) that support
the interrelationships and interdependencies between budget, cost and
management functions, and the information associated with business
activities.

***Financial systems*** are comprised of one or more applications that
are used for any of the following:

-   Collecting, processing, maintaining, transmitting, and reporting
    data about financial events;

-   Supporting financial planning or budgeting activities;

-   Accumulating and reporting cost information; or

-   Supporting the preparation of financial statements.

A financial system supports the processes necessary to record the
financial consequences of events that occur as a result of business
activities. Such events include information related to the receipt of
appropriations or resources; acquisition of goods or services; payment
or collections; recognition of guarantees, benefits to be provided, or
other potential liabilities or other reportable activities.

***Funding source*** means the direct appropriation or other budgetary
resources an agency receives. You need to identify the account and the
budget authority provided. Report those accounts that provide the
financing for a particular investment. *To avoid double counting, do not
report any accounts receiving intra-governmental payments to purchase IT
investments or services as funding sources.*

***IRM Strategic Plan*** is strategic in nature and addresses all
information resources management of the agency. Agencies must develop
and maintain the agency Information Resource Management Strategic Plan
(IRM) as required by 44 U.S.C. 3506 (b) (2). IRM Strategic Plans should
support the agency Strategic Plan required in OMB Circular A-11, provide
a description of how information resources management activities help
accomplish agency missions, and ensure that IRM decisions are integrated
with organizational planning, budget, procurement, financial management,
human resources management, and program decisions.

***Information system*** means a discrete set of information technology,
data, and related resources, such as personnel, hardware, software, and
associated information technology services organized for the collection,
processing, maintenance, use, sharing, dissemination or disposition of
information.

***Information technology***, as defined by the Clinger-Cohen Act of
1996, sections 5002, 5141, and 5142, means any equipment or
interconnected system or subsystem of equipment that is used in the
automatic acquisition, storage, manipulation, management, movement,
control, display, switching, interchange, transmission, or reception of
data or information. For purposes of this definition, equipment is
\"used\" by an agency whether the agency uses the equipment directly or
it is used by a contractor under a contract with the agency that (1)
requires the use of such equipment or (2) requires the use, to a
significant extent, of such equipment in the performance of a service or
the furnishing of a product. Information technology includes computers,
ancillary equipment, software, firmware and similar procedures, services
(including support services), and related resources. It does not include
any equipment that is acquired by a Federal contractor incidental to a
Federal contract.

***Integrated Project Team (IPT)*** means a multi-disciplinary team lead
by a program manager responsible and accountable for planning,
budgeting, procurement and life-cycle management of the project to
achieve its cost, schedule and performance goals. Team skills include:
budgetary, financial, capital planning, procurement, user, program,
value management, earned value management, and other staff as
appropriate.

***Life-cycle costs*** means the overall estimated cost, both government
and contractor, for a particular program alternative over the time
period corresponding to the life of the program, including direct and
indirect initial costs plus any periodic or continuing costs of
operation and maintenance.

***Major IT Investment*** means a system or project that requires
special management attention because of its importance to an agency
mission; investment was a major investment in the FY 04 submission and
is continuing; investment is financial management and spends more than
\$500,000; investment is directly tied to the top two layers of the
Federal Enterprise Architecture (Services to Citizens and Mode of
Delivery); investment is an integral part of the agency's modernization
blueprint (EA); investment has significant program or policy
implications; investment has high executive visibility; investment is
defined as major by the agency's capital planning and investment control
process. OMB may work with the agency to declare other projects as major
investments. All major investments must be reported on Exhibit 53. All
major investments must submit a \"Capital Asset Plan and Business
Case,\" Exhibit 300. Investments that are E-Government in nature or use
e-business technologies must be identified as major investments
regardless of the costs. If you are unsure about what investments to
consider as \"major,\" consult your agency budget officer or OMB
representative. Systems not considered \"major\" are \"non-major.\"

***Mixed system*** means an information system that supports both
financial and non-financial functions of the Federal Government or
components thereof.

***New IT Investment*** means an IT investment that is newly proposed by
the agency and has not been previously funded by OMB. This does not
include projects that have existed within the agency but have not
previously been reported to OMB.

***Non-financial system*** means a system that supports management
functions of the Federal Government or components thereof and does not
record financial events or report financial information.

***Non-major IT Investment*** means any initiative or project not
meeting the definition of major defined above but that is part of the
agency\'s IT investments. All non-major investments must be reported
individually on the Exhibit 53.

***On-Going IT Investment*** means a project that has been through a
complete budget cycle with OMB and represents budget decisions
consistent with the President\'s Budget for the current year (BY-1).

*Operational* (steady state) means an asset or part of an asset that has
been delivered and is performing the mission.

***Planning*** means preparing, developing or acquiring the information
you will use to design the project; assess the benefits, risks, and
risk-adjusted life-cycle costs of alternative solutions; and establish
realistic cost, schedule, and performance goals, for the selected
alternative, before either proceeding to full acquisition of the capital
project or useful segment or terminating the project. Planning must
progress to the point where you are ready to commit to achieving
specific goals for the completion of the acquisition. Information
gathering activities may include market research of available solutions,
architectural drawings, geological studies, engineering and design
studies, and prototypes. Planning is a useful segment of a capital
project. Depending on the nature of the project, one or more planning
segments may be necessary.

***Useful segment*** means an economically and programmatically separate
component of a capital project that provides a measurable performance
outcome for which the benefits exceed the costs, even if no further
funding is appropriated.

## 53.4 How do I determine whether I must report?

Submit an agency IT investment portfolio (exhibit 53) to OMB if either
of the following are true:

-   Your agency is requesting funding for IT investments via a Capital
    Asset Plan and Business Case (see section 300). If you are unsure
    whether your agency will submit exhibit 300, consult your OMB
    representative.

-   Your financial management system budgetary resources are above
    \$500,000.

## 53.5 How do I submit exhibit 53 and when is it due?

Section 53 requires the submission of the Exhibit 53 and several
attendant documents. OMB Circular A-130, \"Management of Federal
Information Resources\", requires that agency initial budget submissions
include:

-   Agency IRM Strategic Plan;

-   Documented Capital Planning and Investment Control (CPIC) process;
    and

-   Agency Enterprise Architecture.

The agency's Capital Planning and Investment Control Process is scored
against the CIO Self Assessment Criteria located at
[www.cio.gov](http://www.cio.gov/) and the agency's Enterprise
Architecture (Modernization Blueprint) is scored against the CIO
Council's Practical Guide for Enterprise Architecture (EA) and assessed
for alignment with the Federal Enterprise Architecture. For additional
information on what should be included in these attendant documents and
their requirements, please refer to section 8B of Circular A-130. OMB
Circular A-130 is available on the OMB Website at
http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/circulars/a130/a130trans4.html.

Initial Draft of Exhibit 53. In order for OMB and the agency to agree on
what major investments and non-major investments will be reported for
the FY 2005 process, OMB will be working with agencies to create initial
Draft Exhibit 53s during the Summer of 2003. These initial drafts will
include several of the columns from the Exhibit 53 format but not all of
them. OMB will work with the individual agencies to determine when the
Initial Draft Exhibit 53 is due to OMB. Draft Exhibit 53 will include
the Unique ID,

Project Title, and Project Description. This draft Exhibit 53 will be
used to determine what should be reported as major investments thereby
providing business cases in the 2005 budget.

You must submit exhibit 53 in an electronic format either by e-mailing a
spreadsheet version of exhibit 53 to [exhibit53@omb.eop.gov]{.underline}
or if your agency uses an automated capital planning tool, by submitting
it directly from that tool to the same e-mail address. The subject line
of the e-mail must have the three digit OMB agency code (see Appendix C)
and the full agency name. The attendant documents must all be submitted
electronically in whatever format the agency used to create the
documents. All of these items will be assessed as part of the budget
process and information provided to the agency via passback.

Your exhibit 53 and the attendant documents are due to OMB by September
8^th^. In addition, you must update each exhibit 53 and the accompanying
Capital Asset Plans and Business Cases (Exhibit 300) you submitted in
September to reflect any changes due to final budget decisions (see
section 100.1).

## 53.6 If I submitted exhibit 53 last year, how do I revise it this year?

If your agency provided an exhibit 53 for the FY 2004 Budget, the file
should be updated to reflect any new column headings in the FY05
reporting requirements. It is important that you ensure that the file is
updated to reflect PY for FY2003, CY for FY2004, and BY for FY2005. The
exhibit 53 will also need to be updated to add the financial percentage,
IT security percentage of spending, and answer the Homeland Security
question for the entry.

## 53.7 How is exhibit 53 organized?

\(a\) *Overview.*

As a general rule, exhibit 53 covers IT investments for your agency as a
whole. Provide investment amounts in millions (to one decimal point) PY
through BY. Information reported here must be consistent with data you
report in MAX schedule O, object classification (specifically, object
classes 11.1 through 12.2, 23.1, 23.2, 25.2, 25.3, 25.7, 26.0, 31.0, and
41.0). Include all major IT investments, including financial management
systems, reported in exhibit 300.

Exhibit 53 has four major parts:

-   Part 1. IT Investments by mission area.

-   Part 2. IT infrastructure and office automation.

-   Part 3. Enterprise architecture and planning.

-   Part 4. Grants management.

All parts use the following common data elements:

-   *Unique Project Identifier(UPI)* means an identifier that depicts
    agency code, bureau code, mission area (where appropriate), part of
    the Exhibit where investment will be reported, type of project,
    agency four-digit identifier, year the project entered the budget,
    and mapping to the Federal Enterprise Architecture. Details are
    provided in Section 53.8.

-   *UPI used for 2004 budget* means the Unique Project Identifier used
    to report the investment during the 2004 Budget. As agencies mature
    their capital planning processes and investments are aligned to the
    FEA, there will be required changes in the Unique Project
    Identifiers. Indicating the UPI used for the 2004 budget process
    allows cross-walk and historical analysis crossing fiscal years for
    tracking purposes.

-   *Investment Title* means a definitive title that explains what the
    investment is entitled.

-   *Investment Description* means a short description for each
    investment (major and non-major) of one-hundred words or less. This
    description should explain the entry item, its components, and what
    program(s) it supports. This description should be understandable to
    someone who is not an expert in the agency. If the investment is
    part of a multi-agency initiative or part of another business case,
    please provide description of where that business case is located in
    the appropriate agency budget submission. For example, if the
    investment represents your agency's participation in one of the
    Presidential E-Gov Initiatives, the description should state that
    this investment represents your agency's participation in one of the
    E-Gov initiatives and should refer to the managing partner's budget
    for the business case.

-   *Development/modernization/enhancement* means the program cost for
    new investments, changes or modifications to existing systems that
    improve capability or performance, changes mandated by Congress or
    agency leadership, personnel costs for project management, and
    direct support. This amount equals the sum of amounts reported for
    planning and full acquisition of that system in exhibit 300.

-   *Steady state* means maintenance and operation costs at current
    capability and performance level including costs for personnel,
    maintenance of existing information systems, corrective software
    maintenance, voice and data communications maintenance, and
    replacement of broken IT equipment. This amount equals amounts
    reported for maintenance of that system in exhibit 300.

-   *Percentage financial* means an estimated percentage of the total IT
    investment budget authority associated with the financial
    components. See the financial system definition for a description of
    financial functions.

-   *Supports Homeland Security* means an IT investment that supports
    the homeland security mission areas of 1) Intelligence and
    Warning, 2) Border and Transportation Security, 3) Defending Against
    Catastrophic Threats, 4) Protecting Critical Infrastructure and Key
    Assets, 5) Emergency Preparedness and Response, 6) Other. If the
    investment supports one of these mission areas, indicate which
    one(s) by listing the corresponding number(s) listed above.

-   *Percentage IT security* means an estimated percentage of the total
    investment for budget year associated with IT security for a
    specific project. Federal agencies must consider the following
    criteria to determine security costs for a specific IT investment:

> 1\. The products, procedures, and personnel (Federal employees and
> contractors) that are primarily dedicated to or used for provision of
> IT security for the specific IT investment. Do not include activities
> performed or funded by the agency Inspector General. This includes the
> costs of:

-   risk assessment;

-   security planning and policy;

-   certification and accreditation;

-   specific management, operational, and technical security controls
    (to include access control systems as well as telecommunications and
    network security);

-   authentication or cryptographic applications;

-   education, awareness, and training;

-   system reviews/evaluations (including security control testing and
    evaluation);

-   oversight or compliance inspections;

-   development and maintenance of agency reports to OMB and corrective
    action plans as they pertain to the specific investment;

-   contingency planning and testing;

-   physical and environmental controls for hardware and software;

-   auditing and monitoring;

-   computer security investigations and forensics; and

-   reviews, inspections, audits and other evaluations performed on
    contractor facilities and operations.

> 2\. Other than those costs included above, security costs may also
> include the products, procedures, and personnel (Federal employees and
> contractors) that have as an incidental or integral component, a
> quantifiable benefit to IT security for the specific IT investment.
> This includes system configuration/change management control,
> personnel security, physical security, operations security, privacy
> training, program/system evaluations whose primary purpose is other
> than security, systems administrator functions, and, for example,
> system upgrades within which new features obviate the need for other
> standalone security controls.
>
> 3\. Many agencies operate networks, which provide some or all
> necessary security controls for the associated applications. In such
> cases, the agency must nevertheless account for security costs for
> each of the application investments. To avoid \"double-counting\"
> agencies should appropriately allocate the costs of the network for
> each of the applications for which security is provided.
>
> In identifying security costs, some agencies find it helpful to ask
> the following simple question, \"If there was no threat,
> vulnerability, risk, or need to provide for continuity of operations,
> what activities would not be necessary and what costs would be
> avoided?\" Investments that fail to report security costs will not be
> funded. Therefore, if the agency encounters difficulties with the
> above criteria they must contact OMB prior to submission of the budget
> materials.

-   ***Funding Source*** means any budgetary resource used for funding
    the IT Investment. Budgetary resource is defined in section 20. For
    each funding source, identify the budgetary resources (direct
    appropriation or other specific budgetary resources such as working
    capital funds, revolving funds, user fees, etc) for a project or
    investment. Identify the budget account and organization or
    operating division. Add as many funding source line items as are
    appropriate for the investment or project. To avoid double counting,
    do not report any accounts receiving intra-governmental payments to
    purchase IT investments or services.

-   ***Funding Source subtotal*** means the totals of all funding
    sources used for funding the IT Investment.

    \(b\) *Part 1. IT Investments by mission area.*

Consistent with your agency=s strategic and annual performance plan,
report amounts for IT investments that directly support an
agency-designated mission area (e.g., human resource management,
financial management, command and control). Report each mission area in
which IT investments are funded. For each mission area, itemize each
\"major\" and \"non-major\" IT investment.

You must have a mission area titled \"Financial Management,\" and it
must be reported as the first mission area. Some IT investments support
financial functions in addition to other functions. If an IT investment
supports financial functions, you must include an estimated percentage
of the total IT investment obligations associated with the financial
components. See the financial system definition for a description of
financial functions. Systems that predominately support financial
functions should be included in the first mission area, \"Financial
Management.\" If the IT investment reported is 100 percent financial,
indicate 100 percent in the column. For mixed systems or projects,
indicate the appropriate percentage that is financial. For those
projects that are fully non-financial, enter zero.

\(c\) *Part 2. IT infrastructure and office automation*.

Report all IT investments that support common user systems,
communications, and computing infrastructure. These investments usually
involve multiple mission areas and might include general LAN/WAN,
desktops, data centers, cross-cutting issues such as shared IT security
initiatives, and telecommunications. Report your IT security initiatives
and projects that are not directly tied to a major project on a separate
line identified as \"non-major.\"

\(d\) *Part 3.* *Enterprise architecture and planning*.

Report amounts for IT investments that support strategic management of
IT operations (e.g., business process redesign efforts that are not part
of an individual project or initiative, enterprise architecture
development, capital planning and investment control processes,
procurement management, and IT policy development and implementation).

\(e\) *Part 4. Grants management*.

Report amounts for IT investments that represent planning, developing,
enhancing or implementing a grants management system or portion thereof.
Highlight any grants systems initiatives as defined by this section. To
highlight a system, which is not defined as major/critical, agencies
should identify the grants system as non-major.

+================+=====================================================+
|                |                                                     |
+----------------+-----------------------------------------------------+
| Part 1. IT     | Report amounts for IT investments that directly     |
| Investments by | support an agency-designated mission area. Report   |
| Mission Area   | each mission area in which IT investments are       |
|                | funded. This information should map directly to     |
|                | your agency=s strategic and annual performance      |
|                | plan. For IT investments that cover more than one   |
|                | agency, report in the mission area with oversight   |
|                | of the IT investment. Mission area 01 is reserved   |
|                | for your \"financial management\" IT investments.   |
|                |                                                     |
|                | Step 1: For each mission area, list each major IT   |
|                | investment and the corresponding investment costs.  |
|                | For BY only, if financial or mixed, identify what   |
|                | percentage is financial. For BY only, if IT         |
|                | security costs are included, identify what          |
|                | percentage of the total investment is IT security.  |
|                | If this IT investment supports Homeland Security    |
|                | goals and objectives (see section 53.7) provide the |
|                | number for the HS mission area. Provide the         |
|                | development/ modernization/enhancement and steady   |
|                | state costs.                                        |
|                |                                                     |
|                | Step 2: For each mission area, list each non-major  |
|                | project. If either of these has financial, mixed,   |
|                | or IT security, identify the appropriate            |
|                | percentages. If this system or project supports     |
|                | Homeland Security goals and objectives (see section |
|                | 53.7), answer yes.                                  |

| Part 2. IT     | Each agency should have one business case (Exhibit  |
| Infrastructure | 300) that covers all office automation,             |
| and Office     | infrastructure, and telecommunications for the      |
| Automation     | agency. This section of the Exhibit 53 should have  |
|                | one line item indicating the major project Unique   |
|                | ID for this departmental/agency-wide project. If    |
|                | you are unsure what investments should be included  |
|                | in this area contact your OMB representative for    |
|                | clarification.                                      |
+----------------+-----------------------------------------------------+
| Part 3.        | Each agency should have one business case (Exhibit  |
| Enterprise     | 300) for the enterprise architecture (modernization |
| Architecture   | blueprints) efforts. Any capital planning and       |
| and Planning   | investment control process investments may be       |
|                | reported separately in this section.                |
|                |                                                     |
|                | Follow the step-by-step instructions outlined in    |
|                | Part 1.                                             |
