| their facilities maintenance      |                                   |
| systems. In 2004, the Department  |                                   |
| began the process of              |                                   |
| consolidating the various Bureau  |                                   |
| systems into a single platform    |                                   |
| solution. The transition to the   |                                   |
| single platform solution will be  |                                   |
| a phased approach that allows the |                                   |
| system to interface and integrate |                                   |

| The transition to a single        |                                   |
| platform solution has left the    |                                   |
| project in the steady-state mode. |                                   |
| Bureaus have significant          |                                   |
| investments in time and resources |                                   |
| into their facilities maintenance |                                   |
| systems. The Department will      |                                   |
| consolidate purchases of hardware |                                   |
| and software, licenses,           |                                   |
| configuration models, and support |                                   |
| to realize a single platform      |                                   |
| solution that enables Interior to |                                   |

| investments across Federal        |                                   |
| programs. Through such            |                                   |
| cooperation, Federal programs can |                                   |

| Geospatial One-Stop is a          |                                   |
| multi-agency initiative that is   |                                   |
| part of the President\'s          |                                   |
| Management Agenda for eGov. The   |                                   |
| investment enables Federal        |                                   |
| agencies to publish metadata      |                                   |
| about their geospatial data       |                                   |
| holdings into the Geospatial      |                                   |

| and share geospatial resources,   |                                   |

| government data so that cost      |                                   |

## E-DOI - NBC FMLoB Shared Service Provider

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
| **Description**                                                       |

| The NBC Financial Management Line of Business (FMLoB) is a Shared     |
| Service Provider (SSP) of financial & business management solutions,  |
| financial transaction processing and accounting services. Federal     |
| agencies face many challenges to meeting both federal mandates and    |
| individual financial management requirements: limited options for     |
| financial systems and value-added services, inadequate in-house       |
| federal financial management expertise, budget constraints, and a     |
| lack of standardization of business practices. The NBC is the only    |
| government SSP that offers its customers a choice of core financial   |
| systems and a wide range of value-added services. Most agencies also  |
| cannot realize the economies of scale that an SSP provides. Our       |
| business strategy addresses those gaps & builds upon current          |
| strengths:                                                            |
|                                                                       |
| \- OPTIMIZE SERVICE DELIVERY using a flexible, scalable business      |
| model & implementing service-oriented architecture (SOA)              |
|                                                                       |
| \- OFFER BEST VALUE through fixed pricing and streamlined             |
| product/service offerings                                             |
|                                                                       |
| \- IMPROVE QUALITY with a quality management program and better       |
| quality and performance measurements                                  |
|                                                                       |
| \- STRENGTHEN INTERNAL CONTROLS which to comply with financial,       |
| internal, and information technology controls & security requirements |
|                                                                       |
| \- FOCUS ON THE CUSTOMER through extensive outreach efforts, enhanced |
| marketing, and expansion of the current customer base to include      |
| mid-size and large agencies                                           |
|                                                                       |
| \- OFFER MODERN FINANCIAL SYSTEMS and business solutions to new and   |
| current legacy system customers                                       |
|                                                                       |
| This investment is strongly aligned with the PMA and e-Government     |
| initiatives. Building upon our 20+ years as a federal financial       |
| management provider, we\'ve added program management, quality         |
| assurance and business development offices, increased functional      |
| support, and modernized our products and services. In doing so, the   |
| NBC closes the gap federal agencies encounter with many current       |
| financial management systems. Through the NBC FMLoB, customers will:  |
|                                                                       |
| \- have a choice of core financial systems                            |
|                                                                       |
| \- benefit from the NBC\'s financial management expertise             |
|                                                                       |
| \- have opportunity to acquire value-added services such as eTravel,  |
| procurement, asset management and transaction processing              |
|                                                                       |
| \- move to standardized business processes                            |
|                                                                       |

| The function of the Federal       |                                   |
| Assistance Information Management |                                   |
| System (FAIMS) is to provide a    |                                   |
| national automated system for     |                                   |
| Federal Assistance Grant Program  |                                   |
| Administration, which both        |                                   |
| facilitates the obligation of     |                                   |
| funds to grant recipients and     |                                   |
| provides a record of              |                                   |
| accountability for use of those   |                                   |
| funds in accomplishing individual |                                   |
| grant objectives. In so doing,    |                                   |
| FAIMS is a means by which program |                                   |
| offices collaborate to keep       |                                   |
| consolidated, accurate records of |                                   |

| The system further provides       |                                   |
| information to grantee agencies   |                                   |
| to help in the accountability of  |                                   |
| grant processing. If FAIMS did    |                                   |
| not exist this process would be   |                                   |
| entirely manual and the cost to   |                                   |
| administer grants would be much   |                                   |

| FY05, 56 units (62% of total fee  |                                   |

| transferred the data to a         |                                   |

| The Applicant Violator System     |                                   |
| (AVS) is a relational database    |                                   |
| used by OSM to implement section  |                                   |
| 510(c) of the Surface Mining      |                                   |
| Control and Reclamation Act of    |                                   |
| 1977 (SMCRA). SMCRA specifies     |                                   |
| that no mining permit be issued   |                                   |
| to applicants that have           |                                   |
| outstanding responsibility for    |                                   |
| unabated mining violations. In    |                                   |
| support of this mandate,          |                                   |
| Regulatory Authorities are        |                                   |
| required to check the AVS as part |                                   |
| of the permit eligibility         |                                   |
| determination as codified at 30   |                                   |
| CFR subsection 773.8-12. Further, |                                   |
| the AVS is used to verify         |                                   |
| eligibility in the issuance of    |                                   |

| A software dependent version of   |                                   |
| the AVS was decommissioned in     |                                   |
| July of 2007. It was replaced by  |                                   |
| a web-enabled version that is     |                                   |
| available for use by Regulatory   |                                   |
| Authorities as noted above.       |                                   |
| Additionally the AVS is used as   |                                   |

| of OSM\'s fee compliance program  |                                   |
| and/or the civil penalty          |                                   |
| enforcement program. The fee      |                                   |
| compliance program is a mission   |                                   |
| critical program in OSM. The      |                                   |
| program collects over \$302       |                                   |
| million a year (2007) in          |                                   |

| deposited into the Abandoned Mine |                                   |
| Land Fund. The fee compliance     |                                   |
| program is highly successful,     |                                   |
| with a 99% collection rate and a  |                                   |
| 94% on-time reporting rate from   |                                   |
| coal companies. This investment   |                                   |
