Executive Summary for E-Government Benefits Report to Congress 

The Federal government is delivering results through expansion and adoption of electronic government 

principles and best practices in managing information technology (IT). Through the implementation of 

these principles, the government is increasingly providing timely and accurate information to citizens and 

government decision makers while ensuring security and privacy. 

In the fall of 2001, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and federal agencies identified 24 EGovernment initiatives which were approved by the President’s Management Council. Operated, 

managed, and supported by agencies, these initiatives provide high-quality, common solutions such as 

citizen tax filing, federal rulemaking, and electronic training. Beneficiaries include citizens, businesses, 

and Federal and state government employees. 

In the spring of 2004, OMB announced the formation of five Line of Business (LoB) task forces. Additional 

LoBs were established in 2005 and 2006, bringing the total number of LoBs to nine. The LoBs were 

identified through a comprehensive analysis of agencies’ enterprise architecture data, seeking to 

determine common solutions and methodologies in order to improve service delivery to agencies, 

increase operational efficiencies, and decrease unnecessary duplication in common administrative areas. 

In August 2006, OMB released Memorandum 06–22 (M–06–22), Cost Savings Achieved Through E–

Government and Line of Business Initiatives. M–06–22 requested agencies to identify legacy investments 

impacted by agency use of an E-Government or LoB initiative and develop baseline cost estimates for 

these investments. OMB is continuing to work with agencies to identify additional legacy investments 

impacted by E-Government and LoB initiatives. 

Selected examples of how citizens and Federal employees are benefiting through the use of the 

Presidential E-Government initiatives include: 

GovBenefits.gov - GovBenefits.gov provides a single point of access for citizens to locate information 

and determine potential eligibility for government benefits and services. In March 2008, GovBenefits.gov 

launched a customized connection for the Social Security Administration’s Benefits Eligibility Screen Tool 

(BEST). The customized connection replaced the existing BEST tool, leveraging GovBenefits.gov’s 

powerful screening technology while preserving BEST’s detailed eligibility screening for 17 different SSArelated benefit programs. It also provides citizens with a list of the Social Security benefits they may be 

eligible to receive. Other highlights from 2008 include: 

 Since 2002, the site attracted more than 31 million visitors and generated over 23.4 million 

referrals to government benefit programs, receiving approximately 388,000 visits per month. 

 GovBenefits.gov received 4.65 million visitors in FY08, a 45% increase over FY07. 

 GovBenefits.gov received the 2008 GCN Award from Government Computer News Magazine 

Grants.gov - Grants.gov is the federal one-stop online portal where potential grant recipients can find 

and apply for over 1,000 grant programs – representing more than $450 billion awarded by the 26 grantmaking agencies and other federal grant-making organizations. In September 2008, Grants.gov received 

the 200,000th electronic grant application submission for Fiscal Year 2008. In fact, Grants.gov received 

16% more submissions in Fiscal Year 2008 than in 2007. 

Integrated Acquisition Environment (IAE) - The Integrated Acquisition Environment (IAE) initiative 

is an operational, secure business environment that facilitates and supports cost-effective acquisition of 

goods and services by agencies. Through the use of government-wide business-oriented systems, IAE is 

able to eliminate business process inefficiencies and storage of duplicative information for federal 

acquisition. Agencies realized an estimated cost avoidance of $5,649,656 and estimated operational cost 

savings of $30,820,828. 
 ii

For Funding from 2002 through 2005, bureau 

funding is not included. Prior to FY 2006, OMB did 

not track this data and, therefore, cannot locate it. 

 

The E-Government initiatives serve citizens, businesses, and Federal and state government employees by 

delivering high quality services more effectively and at a lower overall cost. Instead of expensive “stovepiped” operations, agencies work together to develop common solutions which achieve mission 

requirements at reduced overall cost, thereby making resources available for higher priority needs. For 

example, the E-Rulemaking initiative managed by the Environmental Protection Agency has replaced 20 

existing individual agency electronic regulatory systems and over 150 paper-based docket systems with a 

common system which results in lowered costs, modernized technology, and improved service and 

burden reduction to agencies and citizens alike. Agency participation in E-Government initiatives 

augments budget funding by allowing agencies to focus time and resources on critical, core mission 

functions. 

Note: This report addresses agency funding contributions. Initiatives funded solely through fee-forservice models are separate from initiatives funded through agency contributions and are not included in 

this report. Agency contributions reflect commitments of funding and/or in-kind services provided by 

partner agencies to initiative managing partner agencies in support of developing, implementing, and/or 

migrating to E-Government common solutions. Contribution amounts are determined annually through 

collaborative, inter-agency E-Government initiative governance structures and subject to approval by 

OMB. 
 v 

“Fee-for-service” reimbursements represent transfers of funds by partner agencies to initiative service 

providers in exchange for services rendered by initiative service providers. The amounts are typically 

based on a transaction/usage-based fee structure (e.g., for payroll processing, payroll service providers 

base their service fees on the number of employees at a customer agency; for Recruitment One-Stop, 

agencies are assessed a service fee based on the number of recruitment actions processed in the prior 

year). Initiative service providers use fees collected from partner agencies to cover ongoing operational 

costs, perform routine maintenance, and support their customer base.

Summary of E-Government Initiatives 

This section provides a summary overview of all E-Government and Line of Business initiatives. Initiatives 

are broken into five portfolios, plus the Lines of Business: 

• Government to Citizen; 

• Government to Business; 

• Government to Government; 

• Internal Efficiency and Effectiveness; 

• Cross-Cutting; and 

• Lines of Business. 

Additional information about E-Government and Line of Business initiatives can be found at 

www.egov.gov. In December 2006, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), in conjunction with the 

E-Government initiative program managers, concluded an effort to refine and upgrade performance 

measures in three key dimensions: 

• Adoption/Participation – The degree to which the relevant community (agencies, bureaus and 

other organizations) participates in the initiative. Participation is demonstrated by the contribution 

of information, involvement in governance, etc.; 

• Usage – The level of use by the targeted end user; and 

• Customer Satisfaction – End user satisfaction with the initiative’s products and/or services. 

OMB subsequently added additional metrics for those initiatives whose objectives were not sufficiently 

captured within the three performance dimensions above. These metrics fell into two additional 

performance dimensions: 

• Cost Savings/Avoidance – The degree to which the initiative results in cost savings, cost 

avoidance and reduction in burden from both a government and citizenry perspective; and 

• Efficiency – The degree to which the initiative results in process improvements such as a 

decrease in time and/or an increase in productivity. 

These metrics are available to view at the E-Government website – www.egov.gov.

Government to Citizen Portfolio

GovBenefits.gov – Managing Partner Department of Labor (DoL) 

GovBenefits.gov is the official benefits website of the Federal government, providing all U.S. citizens with 

information and eligibility prescreening services for more than 1,000 federally-funded benefit and 

assistance programs. Having connected more than 31 million people to benefit information that they may 

have otherwise never encountered, GovBenefits.gov effectively accomplishes the objective of enabling 

citizens to easily access government services. 

GovBenefits.gov features an online screening tool to help individuals and benefit caseworkers quickly 

determine potential eligibility for a wide variety of programs including assistance with counseling, 

disasters, education, health care, housing, food, loans, social security, and taxes. Following completion of 

the questionnaire – which is free, user-friendly, and requests no personally identifiable information – 

users are provided with a list of programs they may be eligible for, along with contact information to 

apply. 

GovBenefits.gov also reduces redundancy within government through its implementation of “Customized 

Connections,” which are partner agency-branded eligibility prescreening tools specific to an agency’s 

unique constituents. For example, the longstanding Social Security Administration (SSA) Benefits 

Eligibility Prescreening Tool (BEST) no longer requires SSA 

technology and supporting investment, as the site now resides 

within the GovBenefits’ infrastructure and leverages GovBenefits’ 

database and rules engine. Similarly, GovBenefits has implemented 

a Customized Connection for the Department of Veterans’ Affairs 

called the “VA Benefits Finder.” GovBenefits will work in conjunction 

with FEMA to unveil yet another Customized Connection – 

DisasterAssistance.gov. Each of these efforts precludes or 

eliminates the need for redundant systems and saves taxpayer 

dollars. 

Visitors to GovBenefits.gov have also saved time and resources. 

The value to citizens in FY 2008 is estimated to be $39,823,535, 

based on the estimated time that is saved when searching for 

benefits on GovBenefits.gov multiplied by the average wage,. This 

estimate is based on 4.6 million visitors saving an average of 20 

minutes using GovBenefits.gov. Since the inception of 

GovBenefits.gov in 2002, the number of citizens using the site has 

increased over 1,095 percent to more than 383,333 visitors per 

month in 2008. 

Disaster Assistance Improvement Plan – Managing Partner Department of Homeland 

Security (DHS) 

The Disaster Assistance Improvement Plan (DAIP) was created in response to the confusion and 

frustration that followed Hurricane Katrina when disaster victims encountered conflicting information and 

misdirected referrals as they sought disaster assistance from federal programs. When Hurricane Katrina 

struck, more than 800,000 individuals needed immediate emergency assistance with housing, food and 

clothing. In 2005, FEMA received more than 2.7 million applications for assistance - and other federal 

agencies received millions more for other forms of assistance (FOAs). Since Hurricane Katrina, more than 

50 presidentially declared national disasters have occurred each year. In each disaster, victims struggle to 

learn about government assistance and provide the same data to multiple federal agencies to apply for 

assistance. Executive Order 13411 mandates that DAIP ease the burden on victims by creating a single 

access point for more than 40 federally-funded FOAs. DAIP will consolidate FOA information, application 

intake and status information into a unified system. The fully developed system will provide a centralized

and continuously updated clearinghouse from which disaster victims may obtain information regarding 

federal disaster assistance, state and local government programs and private sector sources for disaster 

assistance. 

The program has three basic components: a Web portal for intake, a central database for tracking and 

several individual agencies that provide the actual benefits. The Web portal provides a comprehensive 

pre-screening questionnaire that assists disaster victims by identifying all FOAs for which they may be 

eligible. This portal will be provided by another E-Government initiative, GovBenefits.gov. The central 

database will be managed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Individual agencies 

will create and maintain online connections to the central database and will determine and distribute the 

actual disaster benefits. The overall system is designed to reduce the time it takes for individuals to 

identify and apply for forms of assistance, reduce unnecessarily duplicative application forms and 

processes, and strengthen controls for improper payments and other forms of fraud, waste and abuse. 

Working with its partner agencies, FEMA has identified and categorized more than 40 distinct FOAs as 

follows: 

• Category 1: Disaster-related forms of assistance centrally administered at the federal level 

(e.g., Business Physical Disaster Loans – Small Business Administration) 

• Category 2: Disaster-related forms of assistance administered at the state or local level (e.g., 

Disaster Unemployment Assistance – Department of Labor) 

• Category 3: Forms of assistance not inherently disaster-related, administered at the federal, 

state or local level (e.g., Food Stamps – Department of Agriculture) 

• Category 4: Agencies that can leverage data collected from disaster victims or can provide 

additional data/validations (e.g., Change of Address – Social Security Administration) 

• Category 5: Forms of assistance providing information and agency resources that may be of 

interest to disaster victims (e.g., Disaster Assistance Tax Information – Internal Revenue 

Service) 

The initial objective is to provide information for all FOAs in one place, making this information accessible 

to citizens either online or by telephone. This initial launch must consolidate the application process for 

Category 1 FOAs, and collect and directly transmit application data for Category 4 FOAs. Subsequent 

phases will provide direct application capability for federally-funded FOAs that are administered at the 

state/local level (e.g., unemployment, food stamps). The second phase will pilot this effort in the six 

states that average the highest disaster declarations. The full build-out is scheduled to be completed by 

2014. 

Anticipated benefits to citizens include reduced time to identify and apply for FOA, along with increased 

satisfaction in seeking assistance and obtaining status of applications. Benefits to federal partners include 

reduced data entry for applications and responses to application status, as well as fewer user input errors 

when processing applications. Citizens and partners alike will benefit from DAIP’s system safeguards to 

ensure that only eligible victims receive disaster assistance. 

E-Loans – Managing Partner Department of Labor (DoL) 

Initiative has been integrated into the GovBenefits.gov initiative. 

IRS Free File – Managing Partner Department of the Treasury (Treasury) 

The Internal Revenue Service’s (IRS) Free File program allows eligible taxpayers to prepare and 

electronically file their tax returns over the Internet using free commercial software. This free filing 

service is available at IRS.gov and is made possible through a partnership between the government and 

the Free File Alliance, a consortium of tax-preparation software manufacturers. For the 2007 tax year, 

IRS reached out to 70 percent of the tax filing public and received 4.77 million e-filed tax returns through 
6 

Free File services, representing a cost-savings to the government of approximately $11.3 million. Since its 

inception in 2003, IRS Free File has generated over 24 million returns and allowed the U.S. government 

to realize cost savings of $56.8 million. 

Both the IRS Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration and the Electronic Tax Administration 

Advisory Committee (ETAAC) recommended expanding Free File marketing efforts. The ETAAC is a group 

of external experts that advises the IRS on electronic filing issues. In its Annual Report to Congress on 

June 19, 2008, ETAAC reported that while more than 4.6 million taxpayers used this service in 2008, the 

large number of taxpayers not taking advantage of the Free File Alliance suggests that more needs to be 

done. ETAAC recommends additional marketing of the Free File program. While the program is free and 

convenient, ETAAC reported that additional marketing will drive awareness and ultimately adoption. In 

response, the IRS is planning a robust marketing campaign for the 2009 filing season and has allocated 

$1.8 million for marketing Free File, an increase of $300,000 or 20 percent over FY 2008. Other planned 

expenditures include $200,000 for IRS.gov Free File enhancements and maintenance tasks. 

Recreation One-Stop – Managing Partner Department of the Interior (DoI) 

The Recreation One-Stop initiative makes it easier for citizens to plan a vacation and make a reservation 

for a campsite, cabin, or tour at federal recreation sites. The initiative provides a customer-friendly 

recreation portal (www.recreation.gov) with information for planning visits to more than 3,200 federal 

recreation sites. 

 

Additionally, the initiative has created a Recreation Information 

Database (RecData.gov) to standardize and disseminate public 

domain information about federal recreation sites. Making this data 

available to other organizations (e.g. tourism agencies, the American 

Automobile Association) with recreation-related databases, websites, 

and publications allows citizens to find consistent information through 

a wide range of recreation-related “channels.” Additional sites 

continue to be added to the database. 

In FY 2007, the National Recreation Reservation Service, a 

consolidated recreation reservation system, was launched. Customers 

who need campground or tour reservations are able to save 

additional time by making reservations through the same portal they 

use to discover opportunities on America’s public lands. 

In FY 2008, improvements to the Web portal were focused on 

improving the internal effectiveness and efficiency of internal, backoffice operations. 

Currently, the Recreation One-Stop initiative provides benefits to the Department of Agriculture, 

Department of the Interior, and U.S. Corps of Engineers. The initiative also provides benefits to other 

organizations who offer a smaller number of recreational facilities for the public to use, which include: 

 

• Federal Highway Authority (FHWA) 

• National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) 

• National Oceanic and Atmosphere Administration (NOAA) 

• Smithsonian Institute 

• Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) 

In FY 2009, efforts will continue to improve internal effeciencies of the portal and add additional federal 

recreation sites as they become available. A renewed look at the targeted audience of the portal, 

including the feasability of a “kid-friendly” component are under consideration as well.

USA Services – Managing Partner General Services Administration (GSA)

USA Services’ in the Office of Citizen Services at GSA creates a 

more citizen-centered government by enabling citizens to have easy 

access to accurate, consistent and timely information, regardless of 

the source. USA Services ensures that citizens get this information 

via their channel of choice, ranging from Internet, phone, e-mail, or 

print. These channels include the USA.gov and GobiernoUSA.gov

portals, as well as a family of other consumer websites such as the 

GovGab blog, the National Contact Center (NCC) that responds to 

public via the telephone, e-mail and online inquiries, and a print 

publication distribution center based in Pueblo, Colorado. USA 

Services also provides a robust search capability through 

USASearch. Currently, USA Services is implementing Web 2.0 

technologies to create a collaborative government with a state-ofthe-art environment that will accommodate new ways of interacting 

with the public. 

To improve the delivery of services government-wide, USA Services 

builds on the resources that are currently available to assist 

agencies. USA Services provides a contract vehicle, USA Contact, to 

help agencies establish contact centers for their everyday contact 

center needs as well as emergency situations. The USA Services 

Contact Center provides multi-portal access to citizen information and services through several channels: 

• The use of an 800-number service vs. in-person service in order to prevent substantial disruption 

of main line employees; 

• The consolidation of calls to one location removes service duplication and increases the central 

availability of information, thus increasing the efficiency and quality of information dissemination; 

and 

• The use of an IVR system creates savings vs. avoided calls at a very low $0.04 cost per call. 

In FY 2008 USA Services achieved 213.8 million citizen touchpoints, exceeding the initiatives’ FY 2008 

target. This was accomplished by providing accurate, consistent, and timely information to citizens 

through a variety of channels in English and Spanish, including online information via USA.gov (the 

official portal of the U.S. government), telephone response via 1-800 FED-INFO, e-mail and print 

publications. Twenty task orders have been awarded to date under FirstContact and USA Contact, and a 

satisfaction survey reported a 94 percent satisfaction rating with the service both programs provide to 

agencies. 

USA Services conducts research on citizen’s preferences in accessing information from the government, 

creates networks that allow government customer service communities of practice to share best 

practices, trains Web managers across government; provides the government-wide Internet Search to 

other governments, and creates Web and contact center service level standards. USA Services provides 

government-wide leadership to improve the government's response to citizens, and leads a variety of 

forums to share ideas, best practices and lessons learned. These forums include the Web Managers 

Advisory Group, the Government Contact Center Council and the Government Customer Service 

Community of Interest. 

USA Services also operates Web Manager University, which provides practical and affordable training to 

government Web managers across the country. Through more than 100 classes, including annual 

conferences, courses, and online webinars, Web Manager University has successfully trained over 7,100 

Web managers from 75 federal and 25 state and local agencies. In FY 2009, USA Services will introduce 

training for contact centers.

The services that USA Services provides not only increase the quality of information provided to citizens, 

but also offer federal agencies significant cost savings. USA Services’ misdirects program answers calls 

and e-mails from citizens that are either unanswerable by an agency or would have been misdirected to 

the wrong agency. In FY 2008, USA Services answered 185,273 calls and 2,123 e-mails, saving agencies 

$606,717. The USA Contact indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity vehicle saved agencies $3,198,606. The 

Tier One contact center service offers substantial savings for participating agencies that would otherwise 

have to rely on more costly employees to respond to citizens. The Tier One service saved agencies a total 

of $1,098,586 by answering calls and e-mails on behalf of agencies in FY 2008, and the USA Services 

National Contact Center (NCC) saved agencies $4,992,026 in FY 2008. 

The USA Services cost calculator saves agencies time by providing quick and reliable independent 

government cost estimates (IGCS). Twelve agencies requested IGCS from USA Services Cost Calculator in 

FY 2008, for a total savings of $74,748. USA Services also provides site and Web search results access to 

affiliate agencies by sharing access and use of the USA.gov Search Technologies. Over 345 government 

agencies used this affiliate search service amounting to a savings of $3,191,075 in FY 2008. USA 

Services’ FAQ System saves agencies on transaction costs by using an automated FAQ system rather than 

having citizens e-mail or call agencies with questions. MITRE (a non-profit corporation engaged in 

scientific and technical activities for various government organizations) estimates that on average, 

agencies have reduced e-mails and calls by 30 percent with the effectiveness of the government-wide 

FAQ system. This results in a savings of $3,278,649 in FY 2008. 

USA Services’ total cost savings in FY 2008 was $16,440,407, and has saved $91 million since FY 2005.

Government to Business Portfolio 

Business Gateway – Managing Partner Small Business Administration (SBA)

Business Gateway (BG) is the official business link to the U.S. government, providing services that 

improve the delivery of federal information products for the nation's small business community. The 

program reduces the amount of time and money that business owners typically spend on complying with 

federal regulations and associated paperwork, so that more time can be directed toward running their 

businesses. In FY 2008, BG responded to 

customer feedback and metrics by expanding 

its scope to include relevant state and local 

information. 

BG offers information and services on a 

government-wide basis including forms, 

compliance assistance resources, and business 

library information. BG consists of two key 

components: 

• Business Information Portal – 

Business.gov is the one-stop 

cross-agency resource offering 

consolidated business compliance 

and regulatory information across 

federal agencies regulating U.S. 

businesses; 

• Federal Forms Listing – Forms.gov

is an online forms catalog 

providing citizens and businesses 

with a common access point and 

the ability to search federal 

agency forms. After a 3-year 

grace period for agencies to 

update OMB form clearances, 

Forms.gov will become the official 

site of approved Government 

Forms (only listing forms with valid and non-expired OMB form numbers). 

BG helps federal agencies realize the vision of citizen-centric government by enabling easier access to 

traditionally siloed information. By organizing comprehensive compliance-related information across the 

Federal government, BG supports small businesses, by providing cross-agency access to information. 

Consolidated Health Informatics – Managing Partner Department of Health and Human 

Services (HHS) 

Initiative has been integrated into the Federal Health Architecture Line of Business initiative. 

E-Rulemaking – Managing Partner Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

E-Rulemaking provides citizens one access point to view and comment on rules and notices. This 

program and its supporting services (Regulations.gov, the Federal Docket Management System, and 

common regulatory toolsets) allow agencies to fulfill the E-Government Act of 2002 requirement to 

ensure a publicly accessible website containing electronic dockets for rulemakings. 
10 

The E-Rulemaking program includes two 

important components: 

• Regulations.gov – the public website 

that provides citizens, small 

businesses, educators, multinational 

corporations, civic organizations, and 

all levels of government one-stop 

Internet access to view, download, 

and submit comments on all federal 

rulemakings. Agencies are required 

to ensure their public regulatory 

dockets are electronically accessible 

and searchable using 

Regulations.gov and accept 

electronic submissions via the 

website. 

• Federal Docket Management System 

(FDMS) - an advanced “back-end” 

docket management system that 

provides Department and Agency 

staff better internal docket 

management functionality and the 

ability to publicly post all relevant 

documents on regulations.gov (e.g., 

Federal Register documents, 

proposed rules, notices, supporting 

analyses, and public comments). 

The E-Rulemaking program provides 

substantial benefits as an electronic docket 

solution for agencies to manage their 

regulatory information (FDMS.gov) and to 

provide the documents to the public for 

comments and other submissions 

(Regulations.gov). The Program is helping to 

manage and disseminate federal regulatory 

information far beyond traditional paper publications and paper-based docket processes. 

In addition to the process benefits the E-Rulemaking solution offers, it is estimated to provide cost 

avoidance benefits over traditional paper processes to the tune of $30 million over five years. The 

electronic docket solution selected by the E-Rulemaking governance body is a centralized architecture 

that is configurable for each participating entity allowing role-based access to develop workflow and 

collaboration processes to manage content. This centrally managed solution is estimated to save between 

$106 million and $129 million over five years as compared to other alternatives that seek the same 

benefits but are based on decentralized architectures. These figures were calculated in the summer of 

2007 by an independent economist hired by the E-Rulemaking Program to develop a Cost-Benefit Model. 

The FDMS is a centralized Web application incorporating commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) technology to 

provide a secure, robust electronic repository (meeting DoD 5015.2 Records Management Standards) to 

maintain agency rulemaking and non-rulemaking docket materials, support development of analysis 

materials, and host public submissions. Through a customizable agency interface, FDMS provides agency 

users with the ability to manage docket materials through the use of role-based access controls, workflow 
11 

and collaboration processes, creating/managing/revising content, comment management, and integrated 

COTS scanning solutions. 

In FY 2008, a number of features were added to FDMS and Regulations.gov to further enhance the 

services that each provides. On Regulations.gov, public users now have full text search capabilities 

through the implementation of a search engine that returns nearly instantaneous results. On the FDMS 

side, a simplified comment management function was implemented that greatly reduced the number of 

process steps required to review, process and post public submissions promoting efficiency and reducing 

confusion. 

From September 25, 2005 through September 30, 2008, Regulations.gov: 

• Received over 200 million hits (an average of 12.5 million per month, an increase of nearly 250 

percent since its first full year of operation in 2006); 

• Enabled the public to view or download a current weekly average of 1.55 million pages and 

federal users to view or download approximately 175,000 pages weekly; 

• Enabled the public submission of more than 560,000 comments on behalf of over 160 federal 

entities (an average of 40,000 comments per month based on FY2008 activity, an increase of 

4,000 percent since October 2005). In comparison, the previous version of Regulations.gov site 

received 13,000 public comments during its entire 33 months of operation; 

• Posted more than 1.5 million documents; and 

• Enabled agencies to post nearly 1 million public submissions (including public comments 

submitted by paper, e-mail, and fax). 

Thirty departments and independent agencies (constituting more than 90 percent of federal rulemaking 

activity) have fully implemented FDMS as of September 30, 2008. More than 4,600 federal agency users 

from more than 160 rulemaking entities are registered users of FDMS. 

Expanding Electronic Tax Products for Businesses – Managing Partner Department of the 

Treasury (Treasury) 

Expanding Electronic Tax Products for Businesses reduces the tax-reporting burden on businesses while 

improving the efficiency and effectiveness of government operations. This initiative is comprised of seven 

projects that deliver benefits by reducing the number of tax-related forms businesses must file, providing 

timely and accurate tax information to businesses, increasing the availability of electronic tax filing, and 

modeling simplified federal and state tax employment laws. 

These projects include: 

• Form 94x Series 

• Form 1120/1120S 

• Form 8850 

• Internet Employer Identification Number (EIN) 

• Harmonized Wage Reporting 

• Single Point Electronic Filing of Form W-2/3 

• Standardized EIN 

Federal Asset Sales (FAS) – Managing Partner General Services Administration (GSA) 

The Federal Asset Sales (FAS) initiative manages a one-stop online marketplace for federal agencies to 

sell government surplus, retail, seized, and forfeited assets. FAS, through www.govsales.gov, enables the 

general public to search for personal property and real property assets for sale across the federal 

government through a single online marketplace, regardless of whether the item is available online or 

offline via live auction. 
12 

The FAS portal successfully links all participating real property portal agencies (General Services 

Administration, United States Department of Agriculture, Department of Housing and Urban 

Development, Department of Veterans Affairs) and personal property sales centers (General Services 

Administration, United States Department of Agriculture, Department of Justice, Department of Treasury 

and Department of Defense) to a central website. Personal property assets include: business equipment, 

vehicles (fleet), furniture, jewelry, and other miscellaneous assets. Real property assets include: 

industrial, commercial, agricultural, and residential real estate. 

For federal agencies, FAS provides a standardized mechanism to list and inventory government surplus 

property for sale to the public. Additionally, FAS enables agencies and bureaus with limited resources to 

leverage economies of scale to reach a broader customer base and receive greater exposure of their 

assets. 

For the public (including citizens and businesses) , FAS makes it easier to locate government assets for 

sale and improves the promotion of government sales through a centralized, citizen-centered 

website/portal. FAS’ stakeholders include federal agencies, state and local governments, and the general 

public. 

As of Q4 FY 2008, GovSales.gov portal traffic has averaged over 250,000 hits per quarter. When 

comparing data from FY 2007 and FY 2008, the number of assets posted increased 120 percent, the 

number of assets sold increased 425 percent, total net revenue increased 20 percent and the number of 

visitors increased 14 percent.

International Trade Data System – Managing Partner Department of Homeland Security 

(DHS) 

The International Trade Data System (ITDS) vision is to establish a “single-window” electronic system 

between the U.S. government and the Trade Community. ITDS will not be not a separate computer 

system, but a suite of functions to be provided through the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE), 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s modernized trade processing system. ITDS aims to: 

• Reduce the cost and burden of processing international trade transactions for both the private 

trade community and the government; 

• Provide the trade community with a standard data set and single system for import, export, and 

in-transit for goods and transportation (conveyance and crew); 

• Improve compliance (e.g., public health, safety, export control, 

etc.) with government trade requirements; and 

• Provide users with access to more accurate, thorough and timely 

international trade data. 

According to FY 2008 data, approximately 27 million customs entries were 

filed for import shipments last year. Thirty-five to 50 percent of those 

shipments involved regulations by government agencies other than U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Whether importing or exporting, 

filers are required to submit information to one or more federal agencies in 

order to determine the legal admissibility of the merchandise, the safety of 

the vehicle that will be using U.S. highways, the safety of the food products for consumption, national 

security issues, etc.. Traders are currently required, in many cases, to provide this information separately 

to agencies using a variety of automated systems, paper forms, or a combination of the two. 

ITDS will use standard, commercial-level data transmitted electronically to the ITDS environment and 

distributed to participating government agencies. This will improve border security because the current 

lack of an easily retrievable electronic commercial level description of the merchandise and the 

unnecessary duplication of border management data collection hinders the enforcement community from 

its mission. Additionally, the elimination of paper filings, duplicate electronic submissions of information, 

and centralized processing of these forms by CBP will yield significant cost-avoidance to each 

Participating Government Agency (PGA). 

With PGAs integration into Automated Commercial Environment (ACE), these processes will become 

electronic and streamlined. ACE will enable the following: 

• The trade community, carriers, trade customhouse brokers (or brokers) and trade advisors will 

use a single-window filing interface and standard data set for and export activity. 

• Federal agencies with border responsibilities will use ACE screening (selectivity) and targeting 

mechanisms to provide border staff with better information to protect the American public. 

• Information collected electronically before arrival will allow federal agencies to perform strategic 

targeting efforts and improve trade compliance. 

• Federal agencies with border responsibilities will improve trade compliance by using ACE to share 

information across ports and border crossings. Activities based on imperfect information flow, 

such as port shopping will be drastically reduced. 

• Joint enforcement targeting and intelligence development will be encouraged through the 

creation of a shared data warehouse for enforcement analytical capabilities and investigations. 

• Improve policy formulation and review by providing more accurate and complete international 

trade data, providing more sophisticated access to this data, and improving the timeliness with 

which decision makers will have access to this data. 
14 

• Targeting based on a risk-management approach more precisely targets the highest risk people, 

cargo, and conveyances crossing the border. Those considered low-risk will move more quickly 

and smoothly through ports of entry and exit. 

• Reducing the number of times each data element is collected will lower the cost and burden of 

processing international trade transactions for both the trade community and federal agencies. 

In addition to this monetary benefit, ACE/ITDS will provide the trade community with the following 

qualitative benefits: 

• Access to consolidated account information government-wide; 

• Interactive querying capability of PGA information on transactions; 

• Flexible interfaces that are more easily integrated into commercial application systems; 

• An interface framework, including published interface standards that will promote modernization 

of commercial systems and improved commercial communications; 

• Account-based transactions that limit the repeated collection of static information about the 

account; and 

• A coordinated government-wide reference library of agency regulations and guidance that can be 

integrated into commercial applications. 

Trade organizations that will potentially benefit from the implementation of ITDS include importers, 

brokers, sureties, and freight forwarders. 

International Trade Process Streamlining – Managing Partner Department of Commerce 

(DoC) 

The International Trade Process Streamlining (ITPS) initiative allows small and medium-sized enterprises 

(SMEs) to obtain more easily the information and documents needed to conduct business abroad. 

The Department of Commerce, through the International Trade Administration, has the mandated 

responsibility to coordinate the export promotion and financial activities of 19 federal agencies through 

the Trade Promotion Coordinating Committee (TPCC). The mandate of the TPCC is to “provide a central 

source of information for the business community on federal export promotion and export financing 

programs” (15 U.S.C. 4727 (0)(2)). 

Export.gov, the government’s existing online portal for small business export assistance information, has 

been enhanced to meet the mandate and is integrated with the 1-800-USA-Trad(e) call center and 

domestic and foreign offices staffed by trade specialists. Export.gov provides online information about 

foreign market intelligence, trade leads, trade shows, export finance, and other valuable information and 

directs SMEs toward local Export Assistance Centers or to relevant offices in the foreign markets.

Disaster Management – Managing Partner Department of Homeland Security (DHS)

The Disaster Management (DM) initiative benefits state, local and tribal emergency management 

organizations, DHS and all of its bureaus by improving incident-related information sharing for emergency 

response personnel. Through the DisasterHelp.gov portal, emergency management and response 

personnel, citizens, businesses, and other organizations can access timely planning and response 

information about disasters. 

The Disaster Management Interoperability Services (DMIS) platform and the data exchange standards 

projects provide agencies the ability to exchange data smoothly during an emergency incident and during 

day-to-day operations with any other user of DMIS software. The Open Platform for Emergency Networks 

(OPEN) system is the infrastructure enabling the exchange of information between systems complying 

with the messaging standards DM is facilitating in support of practitioner requirements. The DMIS toolset 

and OPEN backbone allow agencies to communicate collaboratively with local communities during an 

emergency. The following details use of these resources: 

• National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)/National Weather Service 

(NWS) HazCollect Deployment - The HazCollect system is undergoing Operational Test and 

Evaluation across the US in 2008 and will move to Initial Operational Capability in April 2009. 

HazCollect allows local emergency managers to submit non-weather emergency alerts via CAP 

through OPEN to be broadcast on NOAA Weather Radio. This capability is expected to reduce the 

time it takes to produce and generate an alert from 7 minutes to less than 2 minutes. 

• West Virginia - The state of West Virginia uses E-Team with OPEN to exchange Common 

Alerting Protocol messages. This solution was developed and tested by the state Emergency 

Management office. 

• Los Angeles (L.A.) City Tactical Incident Information Pilot – L.A. City is conducting a 30 

vehicle trial with DM messaging standards and OPEN focused on exchanging and sharing data 

among hand-held sensors, HazMat response teams, and vehicles during joint operations. Upon 

completion of the trial, L.A. City plans to expand technologies to L.A. County and work with 

Immigration and Customs Enforcement at Ports of Call as well as the L.A. health authorities.

There are over 2,000 Collaborative Operating Groups (COGs) in DMIS. Registered COGs can access DMIS 

tools free. Over 5,200 first responders have been trained to use DMIS tools, and DMIS has been used in 

over 350 incidents. 

The DM initiative has delivered significant cost savings to participating agencies and organizations. By not 

having to replicate OPEN, DM helped the National Weather Service HazCollect Alert and Warning System, 

DHS S&T Biological Warning and Characterization, and the City of Los Angeles Fire Department save an 

estimated total of $2 million, $2.75 million, and $3 million respectively in FY06 – saving an estimated 

total of $7.75 million. The initiative also helped the U.S. Navy save $4.5 million in FY06 by not having to 

replicate DMIS. Through the use of OPEN and DMIS, participants continue to avoid costs by eliminating 

the requirement to independently create new capabilities or procure services. 

E-Vital – Managing Partner Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)

Per the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 (IRTPA – Pub. L. No. 108-458), SSA is 

to work with HHS and DHS to assist the states with the following: 

• Computerizing their birth and death records; 

• Matching birth and death records within each state and among the states; and 

• Recording the fact of death on birth certificates of the deceased.

OMB transitioned the managing partner responsibility for the E-Vital 

initiative to HHS in 2008 (the previous managing partner was SSA). 

HHS, SSA and DHS are to continue to assist states in automating the 

paper-bound death registration process through use of an electronic, 

Web-based system called Electronic Death Registration (EDR). EDR 

connects the various death registration participants (e.g., funeral 

directors, physicians, hospitals, medical examiners, coroners) with the 

states’ Bureau of Vital Statistics. This work on EDR is done in addition 

to the work mandated by IRTPA to improve security over birth 

certificates. 

The IRTPA mandated that HHS establish by regulation minimum standards to improve the security of 

birth certificates. Throughout FY 2008 the birth certification regulation remained under HHS review, 

therefore the E-Vital initiative program management office (PMO) was not established. Until the HHS 

birth certificate regulation is finalized, HHS and SSA cannot establish an IT program to link birth and 

death records. 

Geospatial One-Stop – Managing Partner Department of the Interior (DoI)

The Geospatial One-Stop initiative (GOS) promotes coordination and alignment of geospatial data 

collection and maintenance among all levels of government. By providing the building blocks for a 

National Spatial Data Infrastructure, GOS: 

• Provides one-stop Web access to geospatial information through a Web portal; 

• Encourages collaborative planning across the government for future investments in 

geospatial data; 

• Expands partnerships that help leverage investments and reduce duplication; and 

• Facilitates partnerships and collaborative approaches in the sharing and stewardship of data. 

The availability of a one-stop catalog of up-to-date and accessible geospatial information helps leverage 

resources and support programs such as economic development, environmental quality, and homeland 

security. The vision for GOS is to support geo-enabling E-Government by providing geographic content 

for use in all E-Government activities across Federal, State, local, and tribal governments. GOS goals are: 

• To provide fast, low cost, reliable access to geospatial data needed for Federal, State, and 

local government operations; 

• To facilitate government-to-government interactions needed for vertical missions such as 

homeland security and to improve delivery of services to the public; and 

• To obtain multi-sector input for coordination, development, and implementation of geospatial 

(data and services) standards to create the consistency needed for interoperability and to 

stimulate market development of tools. 

Virtually every entity that participates in GOS realizes benefits from their participation. Data providers 

gain wider distribution and greater accessibility to their data. Geospatial data creators can find 

partnerships for sharing data acquisition costs. Data seekers can find quicker access to geospatial data 

through the GOS portal than they previously could by searching many sites. Some specific examples 

follow: 

• The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) - In support of its response to 

findings of the U.S. Ocean Action Plan, the Interagency Working Group on Ocean and Coastal 

Mapping (OCM) is using the GOS Oceans and Coasts Community as the primary 

communication vehicle for the OCM Community of Practice. This tool will be used to help 

avoid duplication of mapping efforts and facilitate the coordination and leveraging 
17 

of mapping resources across the federal sector and with state, industry, academic and nongovernmental organizations’ mapping interests. 

• The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) uses a portal tool kit to allow internal sharing 

and publication of its geospatial data and provides selected data to GOS for dissemination to 

the general public. 

• The National States Geographic Information Council has implemented an inventory tool called 

the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Inventory (or RAMONA) that creates “starter” 

metadata which has the potential to greatly increase state datasets available to the GOS 

catalog. It is estimated that presently only 1 out of 4 state/local datasets are catalogued in 

GOS because of lengthy metadata requirements. It is anticipated that the State GIS 

Inventory may one day easily provide access to more than 80 percent of state and local 

datasets. 

• The portal also supports publishing and sharing of documented geospatial information across 

agencies in many of the newest, most popular formats such as Keyhole Markup Language 

(KML) and Geographically Encoded Objects for RSS (GeoRSS) feeds that are making the use 

of geospatial information more ubiquitous across society.

• Through new open interfaces to this national geospatial data collection, other agency 

websites and applications are now able to search the rich catalog content directly without 

having to send users through the GOS portal website’s interface. In addition, custom 

collections made up of records from across government can be created to address specific 

agency or project needs.

• The portal also serves as the US National node in the Global Earth Observation System of 

Systems international effort for collaboration on earth data.

Before the GOS catalog was available, GIS analysts and others searching for geospatial data had to 

search across over 150 individual data collections and potentially thousands of websites to find and use 

geospatial data. Numerous data requests needed to be handled by federal agencies, local governments 

and others, and were reliant on the respondent’s knowledge of available digital mapping data in various 

parts of the country. Because of GOS, the user community is now able to more quickly research and 

discover the information and its associated distribution points, greatly reducing the search time and the 

additional time needing to directly contact the publisher and waiting for a reply. A very conservative 

estimate is that search times through GOS are at minimum 10 to 20 times faster than would have been 

required just a few years ago through needing to search across all collections individually. Now users can 

search through a centralized database that is synchronized with contributions from these 150 collections 

in addition to several hundred other publishers that now contribute to this national effort. Each federal 

agency needing to search and discover geospatial data now can benefit from this savings in search time. 

The number of visits to the site has increased from approximately 30,000 per month in 2005 to about 

90,000 per month in 2008. The Geospatial One-Stop Web portal continues to gain support from data 

providers and end users. The number of published records from Federal, State, local, and tribal 

governments, universities, and the private sector in the system has grown from about 100,000 in 

September 2005 to over 165,000 in September 2008. 

Grants.gov – Managing Partner Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)

Grants.gov is the federal one-stop online portal where potential grant recipients can find and apply for 

over 1,000 grant programs – representing more than $450 billion dollars awarded by the 26 grantmaking agencies and other federal grant-making organizations. The initiative enables federal agencies to 

publish grant funding opportunities and application packages online while allowing the grant community 

(state, local, and tribal governments, education and research organizations, non-profit organizations, 

public housing agencies, and individuals), which includes over 1 million organizations, to search for 

opportunities and download, complete, and electronically submit applications. 

 
18 

All 26 major federal grant-making agencies posted 100 percent of their 

synopses for discretionary funding opportunity announcements on 

Grants.gov. In FY 2008, 660 discretionary application packages were 

posted, with 594 of those accompanying a matching synopsis. The 

remaining 66 approved exemptions included fellowships and 

collaborative grants or were not discretionary applications (including 

Requests for Information, broad agency announcements, etc.) 

Additionally, 696 discretionary synopses were posted in FY 2008, with 

12,041 posted since the launch of the Grants.gov website and 489,252 

application submissions have being processed by Grants.gov since full 

processing was deployed in FY 2004. These submissions cover all 

agency and application populations – small to large, research to state and local governments, not for 

profit, etc. 

Grants.gov achieved tremendous growth during FY 2008 with 202,366 submissions, exceeding the FY 

2007 total of 180,861 submissions by 112 percent. 

Grants.gov also provides contact center operations services on over 162,510 calls and 51,056 e-mails for 

the participating grant making agencies. The Grants.gov Program Management office serviced and 

trained over 8,200 people including federal, state and local grant administrators, congressional 

workshops, and grant organizations. Grants.gov also instituted quarterly satellite Webcasts to provide 

outreach, technical and program management status, and support servicing the grant community. 

Through the use of Grants.gov agencies are able to reduce operating costs associated with online posting 

and application processing of grants. Additionally, agencies are able to improve operational effectiveness 

through the use of Grants.gov by increasing data accuracy and reducing processing cycle times. 

SAFECOM – Managing Partner Department of Homeland Security (DHS)

SAFECOM provides research, development, testing and evaluation, guidance, tools, and templates on 

interoperable communications-related issues to federal, state, local, and tribal emergency response 

agencies. The Office of Emergency Communications (OEC) supports SAFECOM’s development of 

guidance, tools, and templates. The Office for Interoperability and Compatibility (OIC) supports 

SAFECOM-related research, development, testing, evaluation, and standards. OEC is managed by the 

Directorate for National Protection and Programs. OIC is managed by the Science and Technology 

Directorate. SAFECOM promotes coordination and cooperation across all levels of government in support 

of achieving short-term interoperability and long-term compatibility. 

 

The scope of the community served by SAFECOM is broad; the customer base includes over 50,000 

State, local and tribal emergency response agencies and organizations and numerous federal 

departments and agencies with emergency response-related responsibilities. 

In FY 2008, SAFECOM’s stakeholders from the federal, state, local, and tribal emergency response 

community benefited significantly from SAFECOM’s work in supporting the following: 

• Coordination of stakeholder input 

• Development and approval of Statewide Communication Interoperability Plans (SCIPs) 

o In accordance with the Public Safety Interoperable Communications Grant Program and 

the Homeland Security Grant Program requirement, as of April 18, 2008 all 56 states and 

territories have SCIPs that address a common set of requirements and guidelines. Prior 

to the establishment of this requirement, only eight states had developed strategic plans 

for advancing interoperable communications statewide

• Coordination of guidance for federal grant programs 

• Creation of guidance, tools, and templates 

• Acceleration of voluntary consensus standards for interoperable communications equipment 

• Establishment of Project 25 Compliance Assessment Program 

• Acceleration of Voice over Internet Protocol Standards 

o OIC and the National Institute of Standards and Technology established a Voice over 

Internet Protocol (VoIP) Working Group to develop VoIP standards for use by the 

emergency response community. The working group has developed the Bridging Systems 

Interface (BSI) standard, which enables interoperable VoIP communication between the 

bridging/gateway devices that are used to tie legacy systems together. Currently 13 

bridge/gateway manufacturers have implemented the BSI standard, with other 

manufacturers committed to doing so in their next product revision cycle. 

• Publication of Public Safety Architecture Framework Volume III 

o In FY 2008, Volume III of the Public Safety Architecture Framework (PSAF) was 

published. The PSAF comprises the first national effort to help emergency response 

agencies compare existing communications systems, and identify system gaps and points 

of interoperability. Local, tribal, state, and federal emergency response agencies can use 

the PSAF to analyze their current systems, and determine what is necessary to achieve 

interoperability with other systems and agencies.

Internal Efficiency and Effectiveness Portfolio 

E-Clearance – Managing Partner Office of Personnel Management (OPM) 

The E-Clearance initiative streamlines and improves the quality of the current security clearance process 

through automation and the use of common systems and policies. The initiative leverages information 

technology to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the personnel security investigations process. EClearance assists in reducing the time required for processing clearance-level employees, while increasing 

reciprocity among federal agencies. 

The E-Clearance initiative is currently implementing three components to improve the current security 

clearance process: 

• The Electronic Questionnaire for Investigations Processing – An automated online version of the 

security clearance application form SF-86, transferring paper processes to an electronic 

environment; 

• The Clearance Verification System – Provides the Office of Personnel Management and all 

partnering agencies access to the clearance data within each participating agency database; and 

• Imaging of Investigative Records – The imaging of investigative records held by investigative 

agencies and making records available electronically, among all authorized federal users. 

The E-Clearance initiative reduces processing times for clearance-level employees and increases 

reciprocity among federal agencies. It streamlines the investigation and re-investigation process through 

automation and reduced reliance on paper files as well as improving data accuracy and analysis. 

Enterprise Human Resources Integration – Managing Partner Office of Personnel 

Management (OPM) 

The Enterprise Human Resources Integration (EHRI) initiative is improving the internal efficiency and 

effectiveness of the Federal government by streamlining and automating the exchange of Federal 

employee human resources (HR) information. EHRI will eliminate the need for a paper employee record, 

better protect the rights and benefits of the federal workforce, enable the electronic transfer of HR data 

throughout the federal sector, and streamline and improve government-wide reporting and data 

analyses. 

Specifically, EHRI’s electronic Official Personnel Folder offering provides implementing agencies with a 

standard approach to the conversion, storage, access, sharing, and archiving of existing paper HR 

records. EHRI also offers a set of analytical tools that operate in conjunction with the OPM data 

warehouse containing personnel data from across the Executive Branch. EHRI enables workforce 

planning, forecasting, and analysis, streamlines employee transfer, and enhances retirement processing 

throughout the Executive Branch. 

The initiative is achieving cost savings that are recognized on a per-folder basis. The total cost avoidance 

per folder is estimated at $44.23. In FY 2008, EHRI increased the number of folders converted from 

paper to electronic to more than 999,000. 

E-Payroll – Managing Partner Office of Personnel Management (OPM) 

The E-Payroll initiative standardizes and consolidates government-wide federal civilian payroll services 

and processes by simplifying and standardizing HR/payroll policies and procedures and better integrating 

payroll, HR, and finance functions. Prior to beginning the initiative, 26 federal agencies provided payroll 

services across the Federal government. Today, four providers have been selected to furnish payroll 

services for the Executive branch. Migration of agencies to one of the four selected E-Payroll Providers is 

underway. 
21 

The initiative benefits agencies by allowing them to focus on mission-related activities rather than on 

administrative payroll functions. Payroll processing costs are reduced through economies of scale 

achieved by the four E-Payroll Providers and avoiding the cost of duplicative capital system modernization 

activities. In late 2001, the Joint Financial Improvement Program conducted a study for the Office of 

Management and Budget that analyzed the payroll service delivery across the Federal government. 

Agencies participating the study reported a cost of payroll processing expressed in the cost per W-2 at an 

average of $176, the maximum being $663. Upon migration to one of the four E-Payroll Providers, the 

average cost per W-2 for FY 2008 was approximately $134, a 24 percent decrease from 2001. The 

initiative also promotes standardization of business processes and practices and unified service delivery. 

E-Records Management – Managing Partner National Archives and Records Administration 

(NARA) 

The E-Records Management (ERM) initiative provides policy guidance to help agencies better manage 

their electronic records. The purpose of ERM guidance is to allow records information to be effectively 

used to support timely and effective decision making, enhance service delivery, and ensure 

accountability. The initiative is developing policies and guidance in three major issue areas: Enterprisewide electronic records management, Electronic Information Management Standards, and transferring 

permanent records to NARA. 

E-Training – Managing Partner Office of Personnel Management (OPM) 

E-Training provides a premier electronic training environment to support the professional development of 

the federal workforce. The initiative advances the accomplishment of agency missions through simplified, 

one-stop access to E-Training products and services. E-Training is working to enhance the ability of the 

Federal government to attract, retain, manage, and educate the highly skilled professionals needed for a 

flexible and high-performing government workforce. 

The E-Training initiative benefits the government and the federal workforce 

by: 

• Reducing redundancies, achieving economies of scale, acquiring 

and developing e-Learning content, purchasing learning technology 

infrastructure (e.g., Learning Management Systems, Learning 

Content Management Systems and other Information Technology 

hardware/software) through five certified Federal e-Training Service 

Providers, and consolidating and sharing hardware and software; 

• Offering user-friendly access to high-quality E-Training environment; and 

• Encouraging E-Learning investments as part of the strategic, systematic, and continuous 

development of Federal government human capital. 

E-Gov Travel – Managing Partner General Services Administration (GSA)

The E-Gov Travel Service (ETS) is a government-wide Web-based service that provides standardized 

travel management practices to consolidate federal travel systems, minimize costs and produce superior 

customer satisfaction. ETS is commercially hosted at one of three Travel Providers to minimize technology 

development costs to the government and guarantee refreshed functionality for basic travel services from 

travel planning and authorization to the review and approval of post-travel reimbursement. This end-toend service streamlines travel management, provides the government real-time visibility into the buying 

choices of travelers, and assists agencies in optimizing their travel budgets while saving taxpayers 

money.

The benefits of the ETS include: 

• Increased cost savings due to an overall reduction 

in Travel Management Center transaction service 

fees; 

• Improved strategic source pricing through crossgovernment purchasing agreements; 

• Improved business process functionality as a result 

of streamlined travel policies and processes; 

• Enhanced security and privacy controls for the 

protection of government and personal data; and 

• Improved agency oversight and audit capabilities. 

The ETS is a fully integrated, end-to-end travel solution, 

and cost avoidance is realized by a reduction in traveler 

and manager time planning, arranging, authorizing, approving and post-travel reimbursement processing. 

Travelers also benefit from ETS’ increased efficiency as their reimbursements are expedited in the end-toend electronic solution. Additional initiative savings are realized from the elimination of costly paperbased systems, the decommissioning of legacy travel systems and the reduction of agency overhead by 

consolidating the number of travel contracts. Prior to ETS, the estimated overall government-wide online 

adoption rate for travel reservations was approximately six percent. To date, in agencies using the ETS 

end-to-end, the online booking engine adoption rate is over 65 percent, further resulting in cost savings 

from lower travel agent service fees. 

Eleven agencies are fully deployed and using ETS for their end-to-end travel services; an additional 12 

agencies have begun their ETS deployments and are partially using the end-to-end ETS solution for their 

travel needs. The remaining agency, the Department of Justice (DoJ), is scheduled to begin its ETS 

deployment in FY 2009. Of the 23 agencies that have completed or begun their ETS deployments, 

voucher production for FY 2008 constituted approximately 33 percent of the total potential voucher 

population. 

Integrated Acquisition Environment – Managing Partner General Services Administration 

(GSA) 

The Integrated Acquisition Environment (IAE) initiative is an operational, secure business environment 

that facilitates and supports cost-effective acquisition of goods and services by agencies. Through the use 

of government-wide business-oriented systems, IAE is able to 

eliminate business process inefficiencies and storage of duplicative 

information for federal acquisition. These services were based on the 

idea of “simplify and unify” and evolved from the “Adopt, Adapt, 

Acquire” strategy. The IAE initiative provides common acquisition 

functions and shared services that benefit all agencies, such as the 

maintenance of information about business-partner organizations 

(e.g., banking, certifications, business types, capabilities, 

performance). IAE provides benefits to the government and businesspartner organizations by improving cross-agency coordination that 

helps to improve the government’s buying power, while providing 

business partners maximum visibility and transparency into the 

process. 

IAE took further steps to improve acquisition efficiency by consolidating two IAE services - the Federal 

Technical Data Solutions (FedTeDS) system and the Federal Business Opportunities (FBO). This 

integration provides a one-stop shop for business-partners to find federal business opportunities and

specific solicitations involving sensitive technical data (access only given to approved business partners). 

IAE anticipates this integration effort of FBO and FedTeDS will save the government $1.6 million in FY 

2009. The FBO/FedTeDS integration is the beginning of a new IAE strategy —“aggregation,” which 

moves the initiative from application centricity to service centricity, with a focus on transparency and 

simplicity of design. 

Use of the IAE common functions and services allows agencies to focus on agency-specific needs such as 

strategy, operations, and management while leveraging shared services for common functions. 

Furthermore, use of a government-wide business focused service environment reduces funding and 

resource needs for technical services and support for acquisition systems originally housed by individual 

agencies. Over 7.8 million hours were saved by the contributing agencies in completing over 18 million 

recorded acquisition business process transactions. Contributing agencies received estimated benefits of 

$396,480,257 based upon the processes, personnel, roles, steps, and actions involved. Additionally, 

agencies realized an estimated cost avoidance of $5,649,656 and estimated operational cost savings of 

$30,820,828. 

Over the course of the past year, the government has required more business-focused information to be 

available to agency acquisition and management staffs. The IAE operational objectives are focused on 

deploying a single point of registration and validation of supplier data accessed by all agencies, 

implementing a central point for consolidated collection and access of statistical and management 

information related to government acquisitions, creating a directory of interagency contracts to simplify 

selection and facilitate leverage of Government buying, and developing a standard glossary and 

vocabulary to facilitate exchange of data among and within agencies. These objectives have also focused 

the IAE on supporting the data collection associated with the Federal Funding Accountability and 

Transparency Act (FFATA). IAE is working collaboratively with federal agencies to ensure the posting of 

data on federal funding is accurate in identifying the entities receiving the funding. Through the use of a 

government-wide contract with Dun and Bradstreet, IAE is spearheading efforts to help agencies make 

sure the unique identifier required by the FFATA is reflecting accurate information and is compatible with 

government recognition of the organization receiving federal funds. In addition, IAE is working 

collaboratively with agencies to determine if any of the services offered by the IAE can be used to 

support FFATA reporting. 

Integrated Acquisition Environment – Loans and Grants – Managing Partner General 

Services Administration (GSA) 

All agencies participating in the posting and/or awarding of Loans & Grants are required by the Federal 

Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA) of 2006 to disclose award information on a publicly 

accessible website. FFATA requires OMB to lead the development of a single, searchable website through 

which the public can readily access information about grants and contracts provided by federal 

government agencies.1

 On December 14, 2007, ahead of schedule, OMB launched 

www.USASpending.gov to meet the statutory requirements. Since launch, OMB has and will continue to 

work with agencies to improve the quality, timeliness, and accuracy of data submissions and has released 

a series of enhancements to the site. USASpending.gov complements other websites providing the public 

federal program performance information (e.g., USA.gov, Results.gov and ExpectMore.gov). 

USASpending.gov provides: 

• The name of the entity receiving the award; 

• The amount of the award; 

• Information on the award including transaction type, funding agency, etc; 

 

1

 More information on the development of this website can be found at: www.FederalSpending.gov. 
24 

• The location of the entity receiving the award; and 

• A unique identifier of the entity receiving the award. 

In addition to routine enhancements to improve usability and maintainability, USASpending.gov is 

focused on supporting implementation of sub-contract and sub-grant awards reporting. 

Based on the recommendations of the Transparency Act Taskforce, the website leverages functionality 

provided by the IAE initiative to provide Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) numbers as the 

unique identifier. While this capability exists for contracts, work remains to fully support the 

determination of unique identifiers for Loans & Grants. Agency contributions assist the IAE initiative in 

enhancing functionality to provide necessary capabilities to support this requirement. 

Recruitment One-Stop – Managing Partner Office of Personnel Management (OPM) 

The Recruitment One-Stop initiative provides an online portal - USAJOBS.gov - where citizens can easily 

search for employment opportunities throughout the Federal government. USAJOBS is a fully operational, 

state of the art recruitment system that simplifies the federal job search process for both job seekers and 

agencies. Through USAJOBS.gov users have access to: 

• A centralized repository for all competitive service job vacancies; 

• A resume repository used by agencies to identify critical skills; 

• A standardized online recruitment tool and services; 

• A standard application Process; and 

• Intuitive job searches including e-mail notifications for jobs of interest. 

Recruitment One-Stop provides benefits to the agencies by: 

• Decreasing hiring time for managers; 

• Providing an integrated solution to agency applicant assessment systems; 

• Providing a cost effective marketing and recruitment tool; 

• Realizing cost savings over commercial job posting boards; 

• Reducing the delay associated with filling critical agency vacancies; and 

• Enhancing competition with the private sector for the best and brightest talent for federal 

service. 

On average, USAJOBS.gov has over 450,000 visitors per day (the online portal serviced over 50 million 

applications during FY 2008) and over 100,000 resumes are created monthly. USAJOBS has consistently 

been ranked as the top federal job search site, and provides a broad reach as federal jobs are visible on 

major search engines and are available to the public via multiple means. USAJOBS is consistently rated 

among the top federal sites by the American Customer Satisfaction Index, a measure of customers’ 

satisfaction with the site and the various tools and services available there.
25 

Cross-Cutting Portfolio 

E-Authentication – Managing Partner General Services Administration (GSA) 

E-Authentication is a cross-cutting initiative established to provide the critical capability of validating the 

identity (via electronic identity credentials) of a citizen, business, or government accessing an online 

federal service/system. The E-Authentication initiative created a government-wide standards-based U.S. 

E-Authentication Identity Federation that is compliant with both the National Institute of Standards and 

Technology (NIST) and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). Federation member agencies allow 

their E-Government users convenient and secure identity credentials issued by trusted third-party identity 

credential providers (both government and commercial). This solution enables citizens, businesses, and 

other government agencies to easily reuse credentials like pins/passwords and public key infrastructure 

(PKI) certificates across multiple government services. This approach provides a uniform process for 

establishing electronic identity and eliminates the need for each initiative to develop a redundant solution 

for the verification of identity and electronic signatures. 

The E-Authentication Program Management Office (PMO) has developed a common infrastructure to 

support the authentication service component of the Federal Enterprise Architecture across the Federal 

government. Selected aspects of the infrastructure include policy and guidance, credential assessment 

framework, deployment testing, and implementation guides and tools. 

The E-Authentication initiative has been managed by the E-Authentication PMO within the Federal 

Acquisition Service Division of the General Services Administration. GSA has re-evaluated the approach to 

meeting the E-Authentication initiative’s objectives and plans to change the current structure of the 

program in FY 2009 to better achieve objectives. GSA’s Office of Governmentwide Policy will continue to 

provide agencies with common, centralized administration of many government-wide functions related to 

electronic authentication, such as governance, policy, architecture management, credential assessments, 

product interoperability testing, and network/interoperability testing. This will preserve the valuable work 

that has been done by the initiative and its agency partners to date. 

Beginning in Q3 FY 2009, the E-Authentication PMO will no longer enter into contractual agreements with 

agencies to provide credential services and technical support. To help agencies through the restructuring 

during Q1 FY 2009, GSA plans to provide transition support, advice, and guidance, including a 

procurement template and supporting materials to assist agencies in migrating to their own contracts or 

inter-agency agreements for identity credential services by March 31, 2009. Agencies will still be 

responsible for complying with the E-Authentication policy requirements outlined in OMB Memorandum 

M-04-04 and NIST Special Publication 800-63. 
26 

Lines of Business (LoB)

Budget Formulation and Execution LoB – Managing Partner Department of Education (ED) 

The focus of the Budget Formulation and Execution Line of Business (BFE LoB) is to build a “budget of 

the future” by promoting information sharing across government agency budget offices and building a 

“community of practice.” Through this government-wide effort, the budget community is developing 

common tools and identifying best practices for all aspects of budget formulation and execution. 

Goals of the BFE LoB include improvement and enhancements of: 

• The efficiency and effectiveness of agency and central processes for formulating and 

executing the Federal Budget; 

• The integration and standardized exchange of budget formulation, execution, planning, 

performance measurement, and financial management information and activities across the 

government; 

• Capabilities for analyzing budget formulation, execution, planning, performance, and financial 

information in support of decision-making; 

• Capabilities for aligning programs and their outputs and outcomes with budget levels and 

actual costs to institutionalize budget and performance integration; and 

• The efficiency and effectiveness of the federal budgeting workforce. 

The BFE LoB will provide solutions related to technology, human capital and governance. Technology 

solutions identify tools agencies can use to enhance budgeting, analysis, and document production, make 

available government-wide capabilities for secure collaboration, online meetings, data collection, and 

tracking, and aggregate procurements of budgeting tools to achieve cost efficiencies. Human Capital 

solutions strengthen the federal budgeting profession by sharing best practices for all budgeting 

activities, creating a community of practice, identifying training and educational opportunities, and 

defining core competencies for budget analysts along with career path options. Governance solutions 

provide for year-round coordination via a program management office, build a technical architecture that 

promotes modules that agencies can “pick and choose” to meet individual needs for maximum flexibility, 

further the idea of sharing and reuse, and set standards for data and data exchange. 

BFE LoB activities and benefits include: 

• The development of a decision matrix that allows agencies to define their own specific 

budget systems requirements, and to evaluate other agency and commercial budget systems 

against such requirements. A government assessment of six agency and three commercial 

budget systems against the matrix was conducted and published. The assessment included 

demonstration of capabilities associated with real budget system requirements and scenarios, 

and the maturity of each system against those scenarios. Agencies benefit from this 

centralized assessment when choosing candidates for their own agency budget systems. BFE 

LoB will continue to work towards identifying a second fee-for-service budget system. 

• Continuing support of the first fee-for-service budget system, the Budget Formulation and 

Execution Manager (BFEM), which is managed by the Department of the Treasury in an effort 

to develop an execution module and enhance connections with OMB’s MAX system. 

• The maintenance of a government-wide wiki site, the MAX Federal Community, for increased 

information sharing, collaboration, and knowledge management across the Federal 

government, as well as securely within each agency. Over 9,000 members and multiple 

communities use the MAX Federal Community across the government. 

• The implementation of a secure online meeting tool for use by agency budget personnel, 

which allows personnel to attend meetings remotely with presentations displayed on their 

computer screen. 
27 

• The development and enhancement of government-wide capabilities for collecting, tracking, 

and publishing budget data. These BFE LoB tools have already demonstrated value by 

automating the collection of data related to earmarks, continuing resolutions, across-theboard reductions, and more. New tools will provide even greater benefits by enabling agency 

budget offices to automate their own data collection exercises. BFE LoB recently released the 

eBriefing Collection Tool to facilitate the rapid collection of agency Q&A information. Agency 

benefits include increased data collection capabilities, reduced errors, and reduced time spent 

manually consolidating and publishing data. 

• The documentation of standard budget execution processes and identification of intersections 

with financial management processes via a government-wide collaboration of budget and 

financial management professionals. Agencies benefit from the reduction of redundant 

architecture efforts, while more automated processes and systems interfaces act to save time 

and avoid the possibility of discrepancies and errors. 

• Collaboration with agencies such as OPM and the Council of Human Capital Officers to grow 

the appeal of federal budgeting as a career by combining agency efforts to define budget 

career paths, core competencies, leadership development, certification programs, and share 

ideas in areas such as succession planning, retention, and recruitment within the budget 

community. 

• In FY 2008, BFE LoB hosted over 18 training and presentation sessions, covering a variety of 

budget and finance topics, benefiting approximately 1,800 employees from over 52 

agencies/bureaus/components. 

The following agencies/components are also participating in or using services offered by BFE LoB: 

• Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG): BBG purchased BFEM for its budget formulation 

process, resulting in greater ease in the collection of budget data and production of budget 

submissions. BBG avoided the costs of procuring and setting up a customized system by 

participating in a shared service system sponsored by BFE LoB. The BFEM budget formulation 

system services BBG and continues as an option for BBG for performance measurement. 

• The Office of Science and Technology Policy in the Executive Office of the President; 

• Information Technology Infrastructure Line of Business; and 

• Alaska Natural Gas Transportation Projects. 

Case Management LoB – Managing Partner Department of Justice (DoJ)

The Case Management Line of Business (CM LoB) defines case management as activities associated with 

the collection, qualification, analysis, and use of information either for law enforcement purposes, to 

prevent acts of terrorism, or to defend the government (including its officers and agents) against legal 

challenges. CM LoB’s vision is to use data standards so that case management information is easily and 

appropriately shared within and among federal agencies, local stakeholders, and citizens. In 2008, a 

decision was made to shutdown CM LoB, as the original objective to create a government-wide 

architecture was met for litigations and investigative case management. With the release of the 

architecture of the Litigative Case Management System (LCMS) at DoJ and the SENTINEL program at the 

Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the core federal architecture of litigation and investigative cases is 

now available to all federal agencies. 

DoJ was designated as the lead for the CM LoB, as the core architectures for these environments are 

centered around two Justice investments. These two investments became the core architectures of CM 

LoB and will set standards for reuse in other agencies. FBI leads the SENTINEL program, which will 

develop the core investigative case management system. On the litigation side, the Office of the Chief 

Information Officer and the Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys are co-sponsoring the Litigation Case 

Management System (LCMS) which will deliver a common case management system for the 94 U.S. 

Attorneys Offices and the six other major DoJ litigating divisions. SENTINEL and LCMS will continue to 

focus on their core processes and delivery dates. Artifacts from these projects (including core 
28 

architectures) will be shared with other agencies embarking on litigative and investigative systems, as all 

of these systems will need to share information with DoJ systems. 

DoJ has learned that the systems chosen or built matter less than the information exchanges. The CM 

LoB has validated the importance and need for the National Information Exchange Model (NIEM), which 

supports enterprise-wide information exchange standards and processes. NIEM is in use across DOJ and 

DHS and continues to grow to other communities. Work previously associated with the CM LoB will now 

be focused on building common data exchanges that allow the system-to-system sharing of information.

Services (HHS)

The Federal Health Architecture (FHA) LoB is a partnership among federal agencies and OMB to advance 

health information interoperability among federal agencies and among agencies and the tribal, state, 

local, and private sectors through collaboration. Through the FHA program, federal agencies have joined 

together to rapidly and efficiently implement government-wide solutions for interoperable and secure 

health information exchange that address agency business priorities while protecting citizen privacy. FHA 

LoB serves the needs of more than 20 federal agencies in domains as diverse as military and veterans’ 

health care, public health monitoring, long-term care and disability services, research, tribal health 

services and many other critical federal priorities. 

Through collaboration with its federal partners, FHA LoB developed a five-step process to help agencies 

select the appropriate solutions to meet health care-related business priorities. Each of the steps is 

supported by specific FHA initiatives in 2008 that have created products to advance the National Health 

IT Agenda. Those products include: 

• Business Priorities/Value Cases: Federal agencies will ensure that their mission priorities are 

documented as Value Cases and incorporated into the National Health IT Agenda. This includes 

presenting agency needs to national health IT priority setting bodies such as the American Health 

Information Community successor and the Office of the National Coordinator, advocating for 

national use cases that support critical agency business processes. FHA LoB is also developing a 

Federal Health IT Standards Development Organization (SDO) Participation Plan to help 

coordinate federal participation within health industry SDOs. 

• Interoperability Architecture: FHA is creating the Federal Health Information Sharing 

Environment (FHISE) Framework, which is a government-wide knowledge base that will link 

federal health mandates and strategies with health IT business requirements, national 

interoperability standards and services, and IT systems and investments. Agencies can use the 

FHISE Framework to perform analysis, identify solutions and create reports to determine how 

they can best leverage national information sharing products like interoperability standards, 

certification criteria, Health Information Exchange (HIE) core services, data use agreements and 

policies to architect, invest and implement interoperable, standards-compliant health IT solutions. 

A comprehensive security strategy is required for federal agencies to exchange health 

information. In collaboration with agencies, FHA will create a “Federal Security Strategy for HIE” 

that incorporates the key drivers like the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA), 

E-Authentication, and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act requirements. 

• Investment Planning: FHA provides guidance for agencies to help identify and select health IT 

solutions that align to national health IT interoperability guidelines and standards. FHA will 

produce an updated version of the Federal Health Investment Planning & Reporting Guide that 

provides investment planning guidance for information sharing products in the areas of health IT 

architecture, certification, standards, policies and the Nationwide Health Information Network 

(NHIN). 

• Health Information Exchange Implementation - the “CONNECT” solution: The 

CONNECT solution will make it possible for agencies to exchange health information securely with 

stakeholders by integrating agencies’ health information systems into the emerging NHIN. This 
29 

multi-agency, collaborative effort will produce the Federal NHIN Gateway release 1.0, which will 

implement the information exchange services and 

enable agencies to connect existing health 

information systems to the NHIN. 

• Reporting: FHA will help agencies measure their 

status against regulatory requirements and report 

progress through the Health Information Survey 

which is supported by the Progress Reporting Guide. 

In 2008, FHA LoB focused on delivering solutions that 

address vital national priorities for health care. On September 

23, 2008 DoD, HHS, VA (all funding partners) and SSA 

participated in the NHIN trial implementations through the 

CONNECT initiative, which focused on defining and 

implementing the initial set of services for the secure 

exchange of interoperable electronic health information. The 

Indian Health Service, Centers for Disease Control, and 

National Cancer Institute joined these three agencies in the 

December demonstration, which provided participating 

agencies the opportunity to display additional functionality to 

address specific health care business needs such as quality 

improvement, biosurveillance, laboratory reporting, 

medication management, electronic registration, emergency 

response, consumer access to clinical information, and more. 

Another four to six agencies plan to join the CONNECT 

initiative in 2009.

Financial Management LoB – Managing Partner General Services Administration (GSA) 

The Financial Management Line of Business (FM LoB) leverages shared service solutions that improve the 

quality of federal financial data and decrease known inefficiencies—and costs—that are typical of 

redundant financial management systems. FM LoB’s Shared Services Providers (SSPs) offer participating 

agencies the economies of scale and expertise in IT and financial reporting not always available within a 

single agency. An emphasis is being placed on greater standardization, transparency and business 

process improvements as opposed to solely technology improvements. 

The FM LoB initiative uses standard business practices and meets federal accounting standards for 

financial reporting. This level of standardization across all federal agencies would provide executive 

decision makers with accurate information from which to assess program performance and risks, evaluate 

costs, and improve stewardship across the Federal government. Agencies will be able to improve financial 

management decision making and program performance. 

Current OMB FM LoB policy requires agencies to conduct a competition among Federal and Commercial 

Shared Services Providers (SSPs) before attempting to modernize financial systems. Commercial SSPs 

have not yet been designated to support the same range of services provided by Federal SSPs.

Benefits of SSPs include: 

• Minimize Risk:

o Agency SSP customers reduce the risk of noncompliant financial management systems 

and weaknesses in transaction processing by migrating to a compliant, fully operational, 

existing SSP financial system. 

• Minimize Cost: 

o Agencies using SSPs will not have to configure, operate and maintain individual financial 

systems, whether customized or commercial off-the-shelf (COTS); 

o Agencies can share common costs for standard application management and IT support 

functions; and 

o Agencies minimize costs of testing and evaluation for upgrades.

• Facilitate Best Practices: 

o Federal SSPs have consistently achieved meeting federal accounting standards through 

years of continuous improvement.

The Common Government-wide Classification Structure was released in July 2007. In July 2008, the 

standard business process for Payment Management and Funds Management was released. The data 

elements required for a Charge Card interface were issued in November 2007. The standard business 

process for Receivable Management will be issued in December 2008. Exposure drafts for the 

Reimbursable Management and Reporting Management standard business processes will be issued during 

2009. The Performance Measures Working Group is analyzing the full body of collected performance 

metric data for best practices in order to establish standardization of data collection among agencies. 

After the FM LoB reviews the core financial system requirements to ensure compliance with all 

government-wide standards, certified software products will be tested for the federal configuration. At 

the end of all current systems’ life cycles, agencies choosing to upgrade existing software must adhere to 

this configuration. Agencies choosing to migrate to a SSP are assured that the shared system meets all 

necessary requirements. 

Geospatial LoB – Managing Partner Department of the Interior (DoI) 

The Geospatial Line of Business (Geospatial LoB) is achieving important goals in facilitating collaboration 

of geospatial-related activities and investments across all levels of government, optimizing and 

standardizing common geospatial functions to improve the quality of government services, and providing 

cost-efficient acquisition processing and access to geospatial data and services. The work of Geospatial 

LoB is spread across six work groups, each with specific activities and accomplishments that are leading 

to the successful achievement of these goals. 

• Common Services Work Group: Evaluates and expands cross-agency procurement 

opportunities and tool sharing to facilitate access to the best geospatial tools, software, and data.

o Worked with the General Services Administration SmartBUY Team to implement a multivendor Blanket Purchase Agreement that provides small, medium, and large government 

users a common portfolio of geospatial technology options that benefit small, medium, 

and large agencies. 

o Developed Geospatial Application Registry to provide government geospatial users the 

ability to nominate, share, and discuss reusable geospatial software products and 

associated geo-enabling best practices. 

• Life Cycle Management Work Group: Evaluates and defines the stages of the geospatial data 

cycle and identifies standard roles to facilitate portfolio management of government geospatial 

assets.
31 

o Developed OMB Circular A-16 Supplemental Guidance including: Definition and processes 

for data life cycle stages; Principles for assessing themes (ongoing); Roles and 

responsibilities for agency officials (ongoing); Geospatial lexicon of common terms; and 

Coordination points for geospatial reporting (ongoing)

• Grants and Contracts Work Group: Develops common policies, grants, cooperative 

agreements, contracts, and terms and conditions for geospatial information and services.

o Prepared national guidelines for federal grants, cooperative agreements and contracts to 

help promote better access to data and services for all agencies, governments and 

citizens. 

o Assisted Geospatial One-Stop Portal (www.geodata.gov) in developing requirements to 

improve portal capabilities to locate and satisfy compliance requirements.

• Technical Architecture Work Group: Develops geospatial requirements and 

recommendations for technology and telecommunications infrastructure. 

o Published Geospatial Profile of the Federal Enterprise Architecture Version 2.0, which acts 

as a tool for chief architects to determine how and where place-based approaches and 

associated geospatial resources fit into their enterprise architectures; and facilitate 

discussions with government executives, program managers, and technical staff on how 

to enhance business operations and intelligence through geospatially enhanced 

enterprise architecture.

• Geo-enabled Business Work Group: Assists federal program managers and executives to 

take fuller advantage of the benefits of geospatial applications.

o Completed Communications Strategy and Implementation Plan for the Geo LoB.

o Captured and evaluated best practices from 2008 federal Geographic Data Committee 

Cooperative Agreement Program.

• Performance Management Work Group: Provides greater transparency and accountability 

for federal geospatial activities.

o Completed Geo LoB Performance Management Plan.

o Provided guidance to improve standardization, higher response rate, and more consistent 

reporting of geospatial reporting by federal agencies. 

Contributing agencies and bureaus will receive value from the development of the LoB primarily through 

improved business performance and cost savings. Enhanced governance processes, improved business 

planning and investment strategies, and optimization and standardization of geospatial business data and 

services will produce the following results: 

• Collaborative management of geospatial investments will be made more adaptable, proactive 

and inclusive;

• Enterprise business needs and agency core mission requirements will be identified, planned, 

budgeted, and exploited in a geospatial context; 

• Long-term costs of geo-information delivery and access will be reduced while minimizing 

duplicative development efforts; 

• Effective, yet less costly commercial off the shelf systems and contractual business support 

operations will replace legacy geospatial applications; and 

• Business processes will be optimized and knowledge management capabilities will exist for 

locating geospatial data and obtaining services.

Benefits will be delivered to two broadly defined types of constituents - citizens and government users. 

Citizens who gain benefit from geospatially enabled services through maps and location-aware 

applications and technologies (e.g. cell phones, PDAs, and GPS) will benefit through a more effective use 

of taxpayer dollars to receive those services. Government users who discover, evaluate, and use 

geospatial assets in the support of decision-making will benefit by more efficiently delivery of services for 

mission needs and to citizens through easy to find, high quality, and timely geospatial data and services.

Grants Management LoB – Managing Partners Department of Health and Human Services 

(HHS) and National Science Foundation (NSF) 

The goal of the Grants Management Line of Business (GM LoB) is to develop a government-wide solution 

that supports end-to-end grants management activities promoting citizen access, customer service, and 

agency financial and technical stewardship. The initiative’s objectives are to improve service to internal 

and external customers; increase standardization and streamlining; increase value delivered through 

information technology to agencies, grantees, and the public; and reduce the number of grants systems 

government wide. 

GM LoB implemented a Consortium-based approach to meet its goal and objectives. The Consortium 

model: 

• Improves the evaluation of program results and decision-making by standardizing the collection 

and reporting of data used to measure performance resulting in more accurate and comparable 

evaluations of program results; 

• Leverages existing technologies and relationships among agencies; 

• Allows operations and maintenance (O&M) costs, and development, modernization, and 

enhancement (DME) costs to be spread across agencies, decreasing the burden on any one 

agency; 

• Removes stove-piped operations; 

• Benefits agencies that do not have fully automated grants management solutions; 

• Streamlines the grants processes; 

• Enables the GM LoB to experience near-term successes by capitalizing on the already deployed 

Grants.gov and leveraging existing service components within Consortia Lead agencies; 

• Decreases agency reliance on manual and paper-based processing, further reducing cost; 

• Enables more efficient collection of statistics on government-wide grants activity and metrics by 

standardizing data elements and reporting, and by reducing the quantity of systems from which 

the government draws this data; and 

• Mitigates political and technological challenges. 

The Department of Education (G5 Solution), the Department of Health and Human Services/ 

Administration for Children and Families (Grants Center of Excellence), and the National Science 

Foundation (Research.gov) have been designated as Federal Consortium lead agencies responsible for 

coordinating the development of a Consortium’s grants managements solutions. Partner agencies are 

responsible for participating in the development of the Consortium solution, and currently 16 out of 26 

agencies are participating in a consortium. Additionally, two agencies have completed key milestones and 

are entering into the planning stages of the Consortium partnering process. 

In addition, OMB has approved a select group of agencies to temporarily pursue grants management 

solutions outside of the solutions offered by the Consortia: 

• Three agencies (National Endowment for the Humanities, National Archives and Records 

Administration, National Endowment for the Arts) with similar size, mission, and processing 

volume have partnered together to create a strategic partnership that will leverage similarities to 

reduce cost and duplicative processes, and increase service to grantees. 

• Three agencies (Department of Energy, Small Business Administration, U.S. Agency for 

International Development) are implementing Commercial-Off-the-Shelf (COTS) products that will 

result in cost savings. These agencies are also forming a working group to identify opportunities 

for sharing information and best practices that will lead to increased efficiencies among the COTS 

product’s users, influence product development, and potentially reduce costs. 

GM LoB to date has created numerous benefits for agencies. The initiative has resulted in agencies 

identifying and reducing redundant systems and processes across organizations. Additionally, GM LoB 
33 

allowed agencies to experience cost savings through the sharing of DME and Steady State costs across 

agencies. The Consortium leads estimate that GM LoB will result in agencies and their partners 

collectively experiencing $23 million in cost savings and over $200 million in cost avoidance over the life 

cycle of the initiative. 

GM LoB also plays a role in a reduction in the number of systems of record for grants data within 

agencies. As a result of GM LoB, agencies have identified 23 systems that have been retired or will be 

retired as agencies migrate to Consortia solutions. Through its promotion of government-wide standard 

forms and reports that enhance agencies’ abilities to provide standardized agency data on grant activities 

and results, GM LoB has also helped agencies comply with the Federal Financial Assistance Management 

Improvement Act of 1999. GM LoB and the Consortium leads will also support agencies in meeting the 

requirements of the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 by providing partner 

agencies with the standard interfaces necessarily to submit the required data. 

In addition to the benefits that agencies receive from GM LoB, the initiative also benefits many nonfederal stakeholders, including colleges and universities conducting research projects, state governments 

that support programs such as subsidized housing, disaster relief organizations, and non-profit 

international aid groups. All grantees will experience time savings as a result of quicker award notification 

and faster payments due to automated systems for grants processing. Through continued emphasis on 

standardization, GM LoB will minimize complex and varying agency-specific requirements and increase 

grantee ease of use on federal grants management systems. Constituents will benefit as they will have 

fewer unique agency systems and processes to learn; grantees’ ability to learn how to use systems will 

be improved and reliance on call center technical support will be reduced. 

GM LoB also supports the Grants Policy Committee (established by the Chief Financial Officers Council, 

consists of grants policy experts from across the Federal government) in developing new standard 

policies and forms to use across the government. As a result, Consortium lead agencies will adopt 

standard policies and forms developed by GPC, which will decrease the number of unique agency-specific 

reporting requirements for grantees. Some examples of standard forms being developed by the GPC are: 

• The Federal Financial Report will replace four forms currently in use, reducing and simplifying 

the reporting burden for grantees. 

• The Performance Progress Report and Research Performance Progress Report will standardize 

the way that research and non-research grantees report the accomplishments and status of 

work completed under their awards. 

• The Tangible Personal Property Report will create a standard report to help grantees respond to 

the agency requirement to document all tangible personal property associated with an award. 

• The Real Property Status Report will create a standard report to help grantees respond to the 

agency requirement to document all real property associated with an award. 

Human Resources Management LoB – Managing Partner Office of Personnel Management 

(OPM) 

The HR LoB vision is to create government-wide, modern, cost-effective, standardized, and interoperable 

HR solutions to provide common core functionality to support the strategic management of Human 

Capital through the establishment of Shared Service Centers (SSCs). Driven from a business perspective 

rather than a technology focus, the solutions will address distinct business improvements enhancing the 

government’s performance of HR services in support of agency missions delivering services to citizens. 

Leveraging shared services solutions will allow the HR LoB to significantly improve HR service delivery, 

save taxpayer dollars, and reduce administrative burdens. 

To date five agencies have been designated as public sector SSCs: Department of Agriculture, 

Department of the Interior, Department of the Treasury, Department of Health and Human Services and 

Department of Defense. The four private sector SSCs are Accenture National Security Services, Allied 
34 

Technology Group, Inc., Carahsoft Technology Corporation, and IBM. Now that HR LoB has completed 

establishing a schedule of private sector shared service centers, agencies can competitively select either a 

private or a public SSC to provide HR services. 

Selected HR LoB accomplishments from 2008 include: 

 Published Entrance-on-duty (EOD) Market Survey Report, 

which contains responses from nine organizations for 

providing EOD solutions to the Federal government; 

 Evaluated vendor proposals and established four private 

sector SSCs included on GSA’s Multiple Award Schedule 

738.X; 

 Published version 2.0 of the Migration Planning Guidance 

(MPG), which assists agencies in preparing for and 

managing a migration of their human resources functions 

to an SSC; 

 Published the Federal Case Studies document which contains two case studies “Improving 

Federal Hiring Practices and Service Delivery” and “Evaluating and Improving Performance 

Management Systems” showcasing five federal agencies. The case studies describe the practices 

and systems that have been put into place to improve the employee appraisal process and lay 

the foundation for improved performance management at each agency; 

 Published version 1.0 of the Technical Model (TM), which establishes a common view of 

technology and compiles a set of applicable government standards for each of the technology 

services identified, and completed version 2.0 of the TM, which expands upon version 1 by 

addressing the HR service components delivered to users via direct access channels as defined in 

the Service Component Model version 2; 

 Developed a Separation Management Concept of Operations to describe the functional 

requirements for off-boarding an employee, propose a process and technology model for 

delivering these services, and recommend an overall strategy for agencies to acquire the future 

solution; 

 Completed the Payroll Benchmarking study which includes payroll benchmark data for E-Payroll 

providers and provides an insight into current payroll operational performance; and 

 Launched the Integration Support Project which will provide an end-to-end view of common HR 

solutions and their interrelationships and compile available information and resources to help HR 

LoB SSCs and customer agencies effectively manage HR solutions. 

In FY 2009, HR LoB will: 

 Continue to track and oversee agency migrations to selected HR LoB SSCs including the collection 

of cost and performance information about the migration process; 

 Complete an HR benchmarking study of the SSCs and payroll providers to establish a baseline of 

HR service delivery performance; 

 Develop a framework for assessing HR LoB service providers with respect to how well they 

deliver HR services and for helping providers understand what they have to do to improve their 

service capability; 

 Develop an end-to-end view of common HR solutions and their interrelationships with information 

and guidance for implementing HR solutions across federal agencies; 

 Map the HR LoB target requirements to service components to establish a services-based view of 

the target requirements for SSCs; 

 Develop HR LoB interoperability guidelines by compiling and validating industry standards, 

practices, and protocols that describe interoperability; and

Information Systems Security LoB – Managing Partner Department of Homeland Security 

(DHS) 

The Information Systems Security Line of Business (ISS LoB) is an interagency effort led by the 

Department of Homeland Security to identify common security processes and technologies to improve 

information security program performance, reduce costs, and increase efficiency. 

The initiative selected three agencies as shared service centers for security awareness training: the 

Department of Defense, the Office of Personnel Management, and the Department of State in 

coordination with the United States Agency for International Development. Additionally, two agencies 

were selected as shared service centers for security reporting: the Department of Justice and the 

Environmental Protection Agency. 

In FY 2008, ISS LoB continued to support the five Shared Service Centers (SSCs) mentioned above 

through lessons learned, information sharing and customer agency outreach. ISS LoB is in the process of 

creating a Customer Advisory Board to provide more coordination to existing and new SSCs in FY 2009. 

In addition, ISS LoB expects to stand up additional SSC providers for Certification and Accreditation 

Services and Tier II – Role Based Security Training. Eventually, the ISS LoB will provide support for 

competitive offerings from the private sector in the areas of C&A, Situational Awareness and Incident 

Response, Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) Reporting and Trusted Internet 

Connections services. 

Agencies are now using training and reporting services provided by the initiative. As a result, agencies 

are avoiding duplicative investment in common security tools, ensuring a baseline level of training and 

reporting performance, and refocusing their efforts to other complex and critical security issues at their 

agency. To date, 77 percent of scorecard agencies are taking advantage of Security Awareness Training 

through ISS LoB SSCs and 58 percent of scorecard agencies are benefiting from FISMA Reporting 

Services provided by ISS LoB SSCs. 17 percent of agencies reported direct cost savings in FY 2008 in 

utilizing ISS LoB SSCs for FISMA Reporting Services. The ISS LoB will continue to strive to increase cost 

savings for federal agencies as more SSCs are established and centralized contracts for Information 

Systems Security products and services are created. 

The initiative also identified additional security services and tools demanded by agencies, including 

vulnerability assessment, network mapping and discovery, and baseline configuration management tools. 

These tools can help agencies develop an accurate inventory of information resources managed at their 

agency, and maintain an up-to-date awareness of information security threats. The initiative is now 

establishing mechanisms to help agencies quickly acquire these tools in a cost-effective manner. 

IT Infrastructure LoB – Managing Partner General Services Administration (GSA) 

The IT Infrastructure Line of Business (ITI LoB) is a government-wide program under the policy direction 

of the Federal Chief Information Officers Council. Led by an interagency steering committee of federal 

senior executives representing 23 of the largest military and civilian Departments and agencies2

, ITI LoB 

supports government-wide efforts to improve the management of federal IT infrastructure through 

internal efficiency and effectiveness and the adoption of common solutions to improve service levels and 

increase cost efficiencies. 

 

2

 Note: the intelligence community is tacitly associated with this government-wide effort. 
36 

ITI LoB is driven by a fundamental precept (coined by William Edwards Deming) stating, “If you can’t 

measure it, you can’t manage it.” By leveraging industry-wide performance and cost-efficiency metrics 

and by adopting government-wide benchmarking, common metrics, and baseline analyses, ITI LoB 

provides IT managers across government with fundamental tools that lead to improvements in the 

federal IT infrastructure. These tools include the establishment of aggressive performance targets holding 

managers responsible through regular quarterly progress reports to OMB and the ITI LoB Program 

Management Office (PMO). 

The ITI LoB PMO oversees the government-wide effort through program management, strategic 

sourcing, and technical consultation. The PMO, staffed with highly-experienced technology managers who 

provide expert advice and leadership to member agencies, focuses its efforts in five distinct areas: 

• Institutionalizing the use of common government-wide IT Infrastructure performance metrics, 

including annual government-wide measurements benchmarking analyses and the incorporation 

of these analyses into the federal budget process. 

• Providing technical and management planning advice and assistance to participating agencies in 

the development of their Five-Year Infrastructure Optimization Plans. As part of this effort, the 

PMO seeks to minimize redundant or inconsistent reporting through better integration of 

agencies' optimization plans, Federal Transition Framework and OMB budget reports (e.g., 

Exhibit 300). 

• Establishing government-wide Communities of Practice to foster information sharing and 

collaboration among IT professionals involved in infrastructure optimization facilitating the 

sharing of best technology practices across the Federal government. 

• Developing IT Infrastructure Segment Architectures that can be reused by agencies and lead 

technology convergence among federal agencies. 

• Supporting federal acquisition by leveraging federal IT assets management and aggregating 

purchasing opportunities. 

The ITI LoB PMO works with OMB to ensure consistency among current government-wide policies and 

practices, and coordinates its activities with other related federal IT programs, such as the Federal 

Enterprise Architecture Program Office, Strategic Sourcing, and Information Systems Security Line of 

Business. The ITI LoB initiative provides agencies a forum in which to address common challenges, share 

best practices, and negotiate the architecture tradeoffs that invariably arise when optimizing 

infrastructure and responding to government-wide mandates. 

In 2008, ITI LoB laid the foundation for the annual cycle of data-driven optimization of the federal 

infrastructure. The development of regularly updated performance baselines and Five-Year IT 

Infrastructure Optimization plans not only represent great achievements in themselves, they also enable 

year-over-year trend analyses and the empirical identification of common challenges, best practices, and 

cost savings and avoidance opportunities.

Department of Agriculture 

The E-Government initiatives serve citizens, businesses, and Federal and state government employees by 

delivering high quality services more efficiently at a lower price. Instead of expensive “stove-piped” 

operations, agencies work together to develop common solutions which achieve mission requirements at 

reduced cost, thereby making resources available for higher priority needs. 

The Department of Agriculture (USDA) is providing funding in FY 2009 to the 

following E-Government Initiatives:

Government to Citizen Portfolio 

Disaster Assistance Improvement Plan (Managing Partner DHS) 

The Disaster Assistance Improvement Plan (DAIP) is a government-wide effort to improve the delivery of 

disaster assistance all across the Federal government. The initiative includes member agencies which 

have active disaster assistance programs as well as those which do not. While some partner agencies are 

affected less than others in times of a disaster, all are affected in some way. 

USDA was identified by DAIP as providing disaster assistance. In addition, USDA also supports other nondisaster assistance programs and services which continue to reach disaster victims who may be displaced 

or are otherwise out of contact. Participation in DAIP helps to reduce the burden on other federal 

agencies which routinely provide logistical help and other critical management or organizational support 

during disasters. 

In its first year of operation, the DAIP team identified the following Forms of Assistance (FOA) within 

USDA: 

• Category 2 - Disaster-related forms of assistance administered at the state or local level: 

o Emergency Conservation Program for Agricultural Producers (Farm Service Agency) 

• Category 3 - Forms of assistance not inherently disaster-related, administered at the federal, 

state or local level: 

o Farm Operating Loans - Direct and Guaranteed (Farm Service Agency) 

o Farm Ownership Loans - Direct and Guaranteed (Farm Service Agency) 

o Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (Food and Nutrition Service) 

o Rural Housing: Housing Repair Loans and Grants (Rural Development) 
38 

• Category 5 - Forms of assistance providing information and agency resources that may be of 

interest to disaster victims: 

o Environmental Quality Incentives Program (Natural Resources Conservation Service) 

o Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (Farm Service Agency) 

o Rural Housing Loans (Rural Development) 

o Rural Rental Housing (Rural Development) 

o Crop Insurance (Risk Management Agency) 

An independent FOA Validation Study is currently underway for USDA to ensure a consistent, replicable 

process for the establishment of a baseline as well as assessing all agency FOAs for inclusion in DAIP. 

Recreation One-Stop (Managing Partner DoI) 

USDA (and specifically Forest Service) provides information related to recreational activities in U.S. 

national forests and grasslands and manages the contract for hosting on the Recreation One-Stop portal. 

In return, the Recreation One-Stop initiative saves USDA time and resources by offering citizens looking 

to utilize recreational services a central place to search and obtain site descriptions, recreation activities, 

directions, and links to more-detailed information about specific locations. 

Government to Business Portfolio 

Business Gateway (Managing Partner SBA)

By creating a single portal for business information, such as regulatory compliance information, Business 

Gateway (BG) directly benefits USDA’s stakeholders, including farm owners, food industries, and 

agricultural chemical producers - all of whom are subject to complex regulatory requirements across 

multiple agencies. 

USDA’s stakeholders can potentially receive significant benefits from BG. Benefits to USDA include: 

• Contact center savings: Due to the use of Business.gov and Forms.gov a decrease in 

misdirected calls is expected resulting in cost savings for USDA. 

• Maintenance savings: Business.gov’s search technology will provide USDA with valuable user 

statistics and feedback, enabling it to simplify content management on its business 

compliance site. 

• Cost and time savings: Businesses looking for USDA compliance regulations can save time 

and money by going to Business.gov. In FY 2008, 74 percent of Business.gov users who 

responded to the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) survey reported saving time 

at an average of nearly 10 hours per user, totaling 3,960,269 hours; 55 percent of survey 

respondents also reported saving money at an average of $753 per user. 

• Increased forms management: By making 563 forms available on Forms.gov, USDA saves 

agency time in forms management, and is expected to produce significant savings in paper 

and postage. USDA forms were accessed via Forms.gov 268,496 times in FY 2008. 

• Increased exposure: Business.gov houses numerous USDA compliance links providing crossagency effectiveness to American businesses; in FY 2008 Business.gov directed 12,764 visits 

to USDA sites. 

• Reduced burden on field offices: By directing compliance-related inquiries to Business.gov, 

agencies with field offices will save training and staff-time dollars. 

• Regulatory compliance: The Business.gov website enables USDA to comply with the reporting 

requirement for the Small Business Paperwork Relief Act (SBPRA) and is also consistent with 

the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (SBREFA), which called on 

federal regulatory agencies to publish small business guides that assist small firms in 

complying with, and answer small businesses’ inquiries about federal regulations. 
39 

• Data harmonization: BG is in a unique position to support data harmonization efforts 

indirectly through its content partnerships with various government agencies. USDA has the 

opportunity to identify and realize data harmonization benefits in many areas, such as Food 

Safety. 

Through increased outreach, more constituents will be able to realize these benefits. 

Examples of benefits provided by BG to USDA bureaus include: 

• Food Safety Inspection Service (FSIS) – BG provides citizens with an additional access 

point to FSIS’ documentation, guidance materials for federally inspected establishments to 

use in designing and implementing sanitation standard operating procedures. 

• Farm Service Agency (FSA) – BG provides farmers another access point to find all 233 

forms to ensure they are complying with all applicable rules and regulations and able to 

effectively operate their businesses. 

• Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) – APHIS has made compliance 

assistance resources available to business entities in several formats. All work extremely well 

in that APHIS has not received complaints or negative comments regarding insufficient 

information or difficulty gaining access. BG provides another access point to this compliance 

information, including 10 forms. 

• Forest Service – BG supports the Forest Service by providing an additional vehicle for 

private forest land owners to access compliance and regulatory information, including 6 

forms.

• Rural Business-Cooperative Service – BG provides an additional access point to 27 

forms to assist rural businesses with their compliance needs.

• Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) – BG provides access to 47 forms and resource 

information that assist businesses working within the six commodity programs (Cotton, Dairy, 

Fruit and Vegetable, Livestock and Seed, Poultry, and Tobacco). 

• Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration (GIPSA) – BG provides 

farms and small businesses that slaughter cattle greater access to compliance information 

they need to ensure their meat is USDA certified. BG also provides grain producers with 

another channel to access regulations and laws governing biotechnology, including 116 

forms. 

• Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) – BG offers compliance information 

for companies such as those vying for Biomass Research and Development projects, funded 

by USDA, including five forms. 

• Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) – Business.gov gives farmers and businesses wishing 

to export their goods to foreign markets greater access to compliance information, including 

10 forms, as well as numerous links to sites such as Export.gov. 

Government to Government Portfolio 

Grants.gov (Managing Partner HHS) 

The initiative benefits USDA by providing a single location to publish grant (funding) opportunities and 

application packages, and by providing a single site for the grants community to locate and apply for 

grants using common forms, processes, and systems. 

Electronic application submissions increase each year on Grants.gov, which supports the fact that the 

ambit of the Grants.gov brand continues to expand. USDA uses government-wide forms almost 

exclusively, so the look and feel of applying for a USDA grant through Grants.gov remains consistent to 

the user regardless of whether the program is originated from headquarters in Washington, D.C. or a 

state office in rural America. Grants.gov has also allowed USDA to avoid the cost of maintaining multiple 

front-end systems allowing applicants to search and apply for grants online. 
40 

In FY 2008, USDA posted 112 synopses and 143 application packages through Grants.gov, and received 

7,821 electronic applications from the grants community via Grants.gov. 

Internal Efficiency and Effectiveness Portfolio 

Integrated Acquisition Environment - Loans and Grants (Managing Partner GSA) 

All agencies participating in the posting and/or awarding of Loans & Grants are required by the Federal 

Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA) to disclose award information on a publicly 

accessible website. Cross-government cooperation with OMB’s Integrated Acquisition Environment 

initiative allows agencies to meet the requirements of the FFATA by assigning a unique identifier, 

determining corporate hierarchy, and validating and cleaning up incorrect or incomplete data. The FFATA 

enhances transparency of federal program performance information, funding, and loans & grants 

solicitation. 

Lines of Business 

Budget Formulation and Execution LoB (Managing Partner ED) 

BFE LoB provides significant benefits to partner agencies by encouraging best practices across all aspects 

of federal budgeting – from budget formulation and execution to performance to collaboration to human 

capital needs. 

To benefit all agencies, including USDA, BFE LoB continues to support Department of Treasury as the 

system owner in the advancement of the Budget Formulation and Execution Manager (BFEM), the first 

shared fee-for-service budget formulation system. With support from BFE LoB, Treasury/BFEM made 

available a new Performance Measure Manager module in early 2008. This module allows users to 

automate the definition, collection, and reporting of all types of performance measures. The BFEM system 

is an option for USDA and any USDA component that is in need of a budget formulation or performance 

measurement system. In 2009, Treasury/BFEM plans to integrate PMM with OMB's Program Assessment 

Rating Tool (PART) system and begin work on automating the transfer of apportionment data from BFEM 

to OMB's MAX system. 

To help agencies assess their budget systems requirements, BFE LoB created a decision matrix and 

recently evaluated nine budget systems against the matrix. This evaluation is available for all agencies to 

use and provides cost savings to agencies by eliminating the need for agencies to review this many 

systems individually. USDA plans to use this matrix as a starting point in determining specific system 

needs and determining a short list of the available systems to best meet its requirements. In 2009, BFE 

LoB will research the possibilities for additional fee-for-service budget systems. 

BFE LoB’s “MAX Federal Community,” a secure government-only collaborative website, provides 

significant benefits for collaboration across and within agencies, as well as knowledge management. It is 

used within the budget community, as well as other related communities such as Grants, Financial 

Management, Performance, E-Government, and more. USDA currently has 459 users registered for the 

MAX Federal Community. The MAX Community site is commonly used for sharing information, 

collaboratively drafting documents (including the direct-editing of documents posted on the site), 

supporting workgroups, submitting central reports, and much more. USDA has benefited from the use of 

BFE LoB’s online meeting tool for USDA budget meetings. Enhancements to both tools will continue in 

2009 as these technologies advance. 

USDA plans to use BFE LoB’s "Touchpoints" document and budget execution process maps to improve its 

own agency interactions between budget execution and financial management. BFE LoB will continue to 

work toward more automated data exchange to improve data quality in these areas. 
41 

BFE LoB’s Human Capital Federal Budget Core Competency Framework is a resource for USDA to use in 

its internal workforce planning initiatives. BFE LoB plans to continue to expand this framework in 2009. 

Financial Management LoB (Managing Partner GSA) 

USDA will realize the following benefits through participating in FM LoB once a Shared Service Provider 

(SSP) has been selected: 

• Cost Savings; 

• Minimizing Risk: New Agency SSP customers reduce costs and risk when migrating onto an 

existing and already compliant SSP financial system; 

• Avoiding Duplicate Operational Costs: Reducing redundant costs by using standard business 

processes and a common system software certified by the Financial System Integration Office in 

the General Services Administration; and 

• Facilitating Best Practices/Standardization: Key tools such as a Request for Proposal framework 

and Service Level Agreement guides will be provided to USDA to help in the development of 

agency agreements with SSPs. 

Geospatial LoB (Managing Partner DoI) 

USDA has responsibility for four of the data layers outlined in OMB Circular A-16. USDA is looking forward 

to returns from the Geospatial LoB in terms of efficiency and synergy across the government. Solution 

benefits include institutionalizing a governance model that increases buy-in of all stakeholders in 

decisions related to the development of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure as well as expedited and 

more coordinated completion of nationally significant data sets. 

Grants Management LoB (Managing Partners HHS and NSF) 

USDA manages 199 grant programs that disburse over $60 billion annually. USDA anticipates the key 

benefit to its bureaus will include having a centralized location to download all applications, make awards, 

and track awards to closeout. Currently, USDA's grant programs are decentralized and function at the 

sub-agency level. GM LoB will impact all bureaus, simplifying application processes, providing timely 

reporting and delivery of services, and increasing coordination among USDA service providers. Automated 

business processes available through Consortia will decrease agency reliance on manual and paper-based 

processing. Consortium lead agencies will spread operations and maintenance costs, and development, 

modernization, and enhancement costs across agencies, decreasing the burden that any one agency 

must bear. 

GM LoB will lead to a reduction in the number of systems of record for grants data across USDA and the 

government, and the development of common reporting standards, improving USDA’s ability to provide 

agency- and government-wide reports on grant activities and results. GM LoB will help USDA comply with 

the Federal Financial Assistance Management Improvement Act of 1999 and the Federal Funding 

Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006. 

USDA's GM LoB stakeholders such as constituents, the public, and grantees will also benefit. Service to 

constituents will be improved through the standardization and streamlining of government-wide grants 

business processes. The public will receive time savings as a result of quicker notification and faster 

payments due to an automated system for grants processing. Furthermore, GM LoB will minimize 

complex and varying agency-specific requirements and increase grantee ease of use on federal grants 

management systems. Constituents will benefit as they will have fewer unique agency systems and 

processes to learn; grantees’ ability to learn how to use the system will be improved and reliance on call 

center technical support will be reduced. Consortium lead agencies will also provide grantees with online 

access to standard post-award reports, decreasing the number of unique agency-specific reporting 

requirements. 
42 

Since USDA is not scheduled complete its migration to a Consortium until 2012, cost savings have not yet 

been realized. 

Human Resources Management LoB (Managing Partner OPM) 

USDA operates the National Finance Center, one of the approved service providers for HR LoB. This 

initiative allows USDA to spread the cost of managing HR systems and processes across a larger 

customer base, reducing agency costs to operate these systems and processes. Additionally, USDA’s 

involvement in HR LoB allows the agency to utilize government-wide HR solutions, as well as access 

lessons learned and best practices developed by the task force and other agencies. 
43 

Department of Commerce 

The E-Government initiatives serve citizens, businesses, and Federal and state government employees by 

delivering high quality services more efficiently at a lower price. Instead of expensive “stove-piped” 

operations, agencies work together to develop common solutions which achieve mission requirements at 

reduced cost, thereby making resources available for higher priority needs. 

The Department of Commerce (DoC) is providing funding in FY 2009 to the following 

E-Government Initiatives:

Benefits realized through the use of these initiatives are as follows: 

Government to Citizen Portfolio 

Disaster Assistance Improvement Plan (Managing Partner DHS) 

The Disaster Assistance Improvement Plan (DAIP) is a government-wide effort to improve the delivery of 

disaster assistance. The initiative includes member agencies which have active disaster assistance 

programs as well as those which do not. While some agencies are affected less than others in times of a 

disaster, all are affected in some way. It is imperative that all agencies work together to assist agencies 

and individuals in need of assistance. 

While DAIP has not yet identified any disaster assistance programs within DoC, it remains important that 

the department participates in the plan to implement DAIP. For some agencies this will help to ensure 

that their non-disaster assistance programs and services continue to reach disaster victims who may be 

displaced or are otherwise out of contact. For other agencies, participation in DAIP will reduce the burden 

on other federal agencies which routinely provide logistical help and other critical management or 

organizational support during disasters, rather than direct assistance to individuals. For all of these 

agencies, participation in DAIP provides a platform to offer application intake in the event that a form of 

assistance is authorized as a result of a disaster, as well as to offer a resource to individuals who inquire 

with the agency about disaster assistance. 

The DAIP program office is continuing to work through quantifying and reporting on the benefits and cost 

savings or cost reductions for each member agency. Participating in DAIP will help DoC and component 

bureaus (including the Office of the Inspector General, Economic Development Administration, Bureau of 

the Census, Economics and Statistics Administration, International Trade Administration, Bureau of 

Industry and Security, Minority Business Development Agency, National Oceanic and Atmospheric 

Administration, U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, National Technical Information Service, National 

Institute of Standards & Technology, and the National Telecommunications & Information Administration) 
44 

comply with Executive Order 13411, which mandates that disaster victims have prompt and efficient 

access to federal disaster assistance, as well as information regarding assistance available from 

government and private sector sources. 

Government to Business Portfolio 

Business Gateway (Managing Partner SBA) 

By creating a single portal for business information, such as regulatory compliance information, Business 

Gateway (BG) directly benefits DoC’s stakeholders, including exporters and importers - all of whom are 

subject to complex regulatory requirements across multiple agencies. 

DoC’s stakeholders can potentially receive significant benefits from BG. These benefits are outlined 

below. 

• Contact center savings: DoC has two compliance-related contact centers - Trade Information 

Center and AESDirect Call Center. Due to the use of Business.gov and Forms.gov a decrease 

in misdirected calls is expected resulting in cost savings for DoC. 

• Maintenance savings: Business.gov’s search technology will provide DoC with valuable user 

statistics and feedback, enabling it to simplify content management on its business 

compliance site. 

• Cost and time savings: Businesses looking for DoC compliance regulations can save time and 

money by going to Business.gov. In FY 2008, 74 percent of Business.gov users who 

responded to the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) survey reported saving time 

at an average of nearly 10 hours per user, totaling 3,960,269 hours; 55 percent of survey 

respondents also reported saving money at an average of $753 per user. 

• Increased forms management: By making 587 forms available on Forms.gov, DoC saves 

agency time in forms management, and is expected to produce significant savings in paper 

and postage. DoC forms were accessed via Forms.gov 299,718 times in FY 2008. 

• Increased exposure: Business.gov houses numerous DoC compliance links providing crossagency effectiveness to American businesses; in FY 2008 Business.gov directed 26,497 visits 

to DoC sites. 

• Reduced burden on field offices: By directing compliance-related inquiries to Business.gov, 

agencies with field offices will save training and staff-time dollars. 

• Regulatory compliance: The Business.gov website enables DoC to comply with the reporting 

requirement for the Small Business Paperwork Relief Act (SBPRA) and is also consistent with 

the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (SBREFA), which called on 

federal regulatory agencies to publish small business guides that assist small firms in 

complying with, and answer small businesses’ inquiries about federal regulations. 

• Data harmonization: BG is in a unique position to support data harmonization efforts 

indirectly through its content partnerships with various government agencies. DoC has the 

opportunity to identify and realize data harmonization benefits in many areas, such as 

pharmaceuticals and defense trade control. 

Through increased outreach, more constituents will be able to realize these benefits. 

Benefits provided by BG to DoC bureaus include: 

• Economic Development Administration (EDA) – As a resource to businesses of all sizes, 

BG provides access to government resources and information needed to generate jobs, retain 

existing jobs, and stimulate industrial and commercial growth. 

• Bureau of the Census – BG furthers the Census Bureau’s mission by increasing businesses’ 

access to census data and resources and by providing access to 63 forms. 
45 

• Economics and Statistics Administration (ESA) – BG helps businesses comply with ESA 

reporting requirements of key statistics used for economic analysis and reporting. 

Additionally, BG helps ESA create awareness and stimulate usage by offering U.S. businesses 

access to daily releases of key economic indicators from the Bureau of Economic Analysis.

• International Trade Administration (ITA) – BG supports ITA’s mission by increasing 

access to trade information businesses need through 17 forms and multiple ITA links on 

Business.gov.

• National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) – BG offers 195 forms and 

numerous links to NOAA’s resources via Business.gov, enabling businesses to take steps to 

protect marine resources, fishing stocks, and ecosystems. 

• U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) – For many businesses, securing patents 

and trademarks is essential to establishing strategic advantages over competitors. BG 

provides numerous links and 199 forms to help businesses understand, abide by, and benefit 

from intellectual property regulations. 

• Bureau of Industry & Security (BIS) – BG increases businesses’ awareness of and 

compliance with BIS regulations related to the export of sensitive goods and technologies, 

etc. BG currently provides numerous links, including 43 forms.

• National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) – BG helps NIST increase U.S. 

businesses' awareness of its technologies, measurement methods, standards, and technical 

regulations through 11 forms and multiple links on Business.gov.

• National Telecommunications & Information Administration (NTIA) – BG helps 

NTIA increase awareness of and compliance with NTIA policy through four forms.

International Trade Process Streamlining (Managing Partner DoC) 

The International Trade Administration (ITA) at DoC and other federal export promotion and finance 

agencies benefit by having their programs and services included in Export.gov, as it enhances their ability 

to achieve their respective missions. 

Export.gov’s registry of U.S. firms is shared with over 19 partner agencies of the Trade Promotion 

Coordinating Committee (TPCC), in order to improve partner agencies’ respective outreach and customer 

service initiatives. ITPS and Export.gov is fully supported by the Department of Commerce and ITA 

because the initiative is integral to delivering agency services to customers, and because ITA has the 

mandated responsibility to coordinate the export promotion and finance activities of the 19 federal 

agencies through the TPCC. 

Government to Government Portfolio 

Grants.gov (Managing Partner HHS) 

The initiative benefits DoC and specifically the bureaus of National Oceanic and Atmospheric 

Administration, National Institute of Standards and Technology, International Trade Administration, 

Minority Business Development Administration, and the Economic Development Agency by providing a 

single location to publish grant (funding) opportunities and application packages, and by providing a 

single site for the grants community to locate and apply for grants using common forms, processes, and 

systems. With all bureaus posting federal funding opportunities on Grants.Gov, DoC is increasing the 

diversity of its grants applicant pool agency-wide. 

During FY 2008, DoC posted 75 synopses and 132 application packages on Grants.gov and received 

3,200 submissions. This constituted 100 percent of the Department’s actions. By eliminating the need for 

DoC to develop an independent front-end grants system, Grants.gov has saved the Department of 

Commerce approximately $4 million. 
46 

Internal Efficiency and Effectiveness Portfolio 

E-Gov Travel (Managing Partner GSA)

DoC began migrating its travel services to Electronic Data Systems (EDS), one of the three designated EGov Travel Service (ETS) providers, in Q2 FY 2008. DoC and its component bureaus (including Economic 

Development Administration, Bureau of the Census, International Trade Administration, Bureau of 

Industry and Security, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, U.S. Patent and Trademark 

Office, and National Institute of Standards & Technology) are realizing the following benefits: 

• Increased cost savings associated with overall reduction in Travel Management Center 

transaction service fees; 

• Improved strategic source pricing through cross-government purchasing agreements; 

• Improved business process functionality as a result of streamlined travel policies and processes; 

• Enhanced security and privacy controls for the protection of government and personal data; and 

• Improved agency oversight and audit capabilities. 

Through a combination of advantageous travel management center pricing and a substantially higher 

degree of online booking engine usage (67 percent), DoC saved over $11,000 in travel management 

service fees for reservations in FY 2008 when compared to pre-ETS pricing and online usage. 

Integrated Acquisition Environment - Loans and Grants (Managing Partner GSA) 

All agencies participating in the posting and/or awarding of Loans & Grants are required by the Federal 

Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA) to disclose award information on a publicly 

accessible website. Cross-government cooperation with OMB’s Integrated Acquisition Environment 

initiative allows agencies and contributing bureaus (including the Economic Development Administration, 

International Trade Administration, Minority Business Development Agency, National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration, and the National Institute of Standards & Technology at DoC) to meet the 

requirements of the FFATA by assigning a unique identifier, determining corporate hierarchy, and 

validating and cleaning up incorrect or incomplete data. The FFATA enhances transparency of federal 

program performance information, funding, and loans & grants solicitation. 

Lines of Business 

Budget Formulation and Execution LoB (Managing Partner ED) 

BFE LoB provides significant benefits to partner agencies by encouraging best practices across all aspects 

of federal budgeting – from budget formulation and execution to performance to collaboration to human 

capital needs. 

To benefit all agencies, including DoC, BFE LoB continues to support Department of Treasury as the 

system owner in the advancement of the Budget Formulation and Execution Manager (BFEM), the first 

shared fee-for-service budget formulation system. With support from BFE LoB, Treasury/BFEM made 

available a new Performance Measure Manager (PMM) module in early 2008. This module allows users to 

automate the definition, collection, and reporting of all types of performance measures. The BFEM system 

is an option for DoC and any DoC component (including the Office of the Inspector General; Economic 

Development Administration; Bureau of the Census; Economics and Statistics Administration; 

International Trade Administration; Bureau of Industry and Security; Minority Business Development 

Agency; National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration; U.S. Patent and Trademark Office; National 

Technical Information Service; National Institute of Standards & Technology; and National 

Telecommunications & Information Administration) that is in need of a budget formulation 

or performance measurement system. In 2009, Treasury/BFEM plans to integrate PMM with OMB’s 
47 

Program Assessment Rating Tool system and begin work on automating the transfer of apportionment 

data from BFEM to OMB's MAX system. 

To help agencies assess their budget systems requirements, BFE LoB created a decision matrix and 

recently evaluated nine budget systems against the matrix. This evaluation is available for all agencies to 

use and provides cost savings to agencies by eliminating the need for agencies to review this many 

systems individually. DoC may benefit from using this matrix as a starting point in determining specific 

system needs and determining a short list of the available systems to best meet its requirements. 

Because BFE LoB has focused on the Decision Matrix criteria and developed general budget and 

performance system requirements, DoC has been able to focus on agency level requirements for 

performance reporting. In 2009, BFE LoB will research the possibilities for additional fee-for-service 

budget systems. 

BFE LoB’s “MAX Federal Community,” a secure government-only collaborative website, provides 

significant benefits for collaboration across and within agencies, as well as knowledge management. It is 

used within the budget community, as well as other related communities such as Grants, Financial 

Management, Performance, E-Government, and more. DoC currently has 345 users registered for the 

MAX Federal Community. The MAX Community site is commonly used for sharing information, 

collaboratively drafting documents (including the direct-editing of documents posted on the site), 

supporting workgroups, submitting central reports, and much more. DoC also has the option to use BFE 

LoB’s online meeting tool for DoC budget meetings. DoC has educated its bureaus regarding the MAX 

eBriefing and Collaboration applications, has established initial Collaboration groups, and has encouraged 

voluntary participation by bureaus. Several bureaus have shown interest and/or taken Collaboration 

training. Enhancements to both tools will continue in 2009 as these technologies advance. 

DoC may choose to use BFE LoB’s "Touchpoints" document and budget execution process maps to 

improve its own agency interactions between budget execution and financial management. BFE LoB will 

continue to work toward more automated data exchange to improve data quality in these areas. 

BFE LoB’s Human Capital Federal Budget Core Competency Framework is a resource for DoC to use in its 

internal workforce planning initiatives. BFE LoB plans to continue to expand this framework in 2009. 

Financial Management LoB (Managing Partner GSA)

DoC and component bureaus (including the Office of the Inspector General, Economic Development 

Administration, Bureau of the Census, Economics and Statistics Administration, International Trade 

Administration, Bureau of Industry and Security, Minority Business Development Agency, National 

Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, National Technical 

Information Service, National Institute of Standards & Technology, and the National Telecommunications 

& Information Administration) will realize the following benefits through participation in FM LoB and 

usage of a FM Shared Service Provider (SSP): 

• Cost Savings; 

• Minimizing Risk: SSP customers will be able to minimize risk by implementing and using financial 

systems that are already operating with standard operating procedures; 

• Avoiding Duplicate Operational Costs: Reducing redundant costs by using standard business 

processes and a common system software certified by the Financial System Integration Office in 

the General Services Administration; and 

• Facilitating Best Practices/Standardization: Key tools such as a Request for Proposal framework 

and Service Level Agreement guides will be provided to DoC to help in the development of 

agency agreements with their SSPs. 
48 

Geospatial LoB (Managing Partner DoI) 

DoC has responsibility for eight of the data layers outlined in OMB Circular A-16, and is looking forward to 

the returns on investments from Geospatial LoB with regard to the efficiency and synergy across the 

government. Two major bureaus within DoC will benefit greatly from this initiative – the National Oceanic 

& Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the Census Bureau. NOAA manages baseline maritime, 

climate, elevation, geodetic control, shoreline, and marine boundaries data. These data are used by both 

public and other federal agencies. The Census Bureau governmental units and cultural demographics 

data provides the characteristics of people, the nature of the structures in which they live and work, the 

economic and other activities they pursue, the facilities they use to support their health, recreational and 

other needs, the environmental consequences of their presence, and the boundaries, names and numeric 

codes of geographic entities used to report the information collected for purposes of reporting the 

Nation's official statistics. DoC is confident that in the future all aspects of the LoB captured from agency 

collaboration will help realize the vision and the benefits intended by managing geospatial data through a 

federal portfolio. 

Grants Management LoB (Managing Partners HHS and NSF) 

In FY 2008, DoC managed 3,416 grant awards totaling approximately $1.5 billion. DoC has six operating 

units that award grants and utilizes three grants systems. By adhering to the GM LoB objectives cost 

avoidance will be realized by the largest Commerce Grant-making operating units, the National Oceanic 

and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and 

the Economic Development Administration (EDA). DoC’s bureaus will have a centralized location to 

download all applications and disburse/track grants to closeout. 

Prior to affiliating with a Consortia partner, DoC plans to consolidate all of its grants management 

functions into a global system. Grants Online is the Commerce grants management system that was 

developed by NOAA, and has been operational since January 2005. That process began with the 

migration of International Trade Administration, Minority Business Development Agency, and Office of 

Human Resource Management grants to Grants Online in FY 2008. This migration will be completed by 

March 31, 2009. Subject to budget constraints and the availability of funds, DOC will continue this 

consolidation by moving the grants systems of its two remaining major bureaus, NIST and EDA, to Grants 

Online sometime between FY 2010 and FY 2011. DOC will then conduct a gap analysis and pursue 

possible alignment with one of the three GM LoB Consortia in FY 2012. 

This process will continue a reduction in the number of systems of record for grants data at DOC and 

across the government and develop common reporting standards. This will improve DoC’s ability to 

provide agency- and government-wide reports on grant activities and results. Moreover, these steps will 

prepare the agency for effective evaluation of and migration to a Consortium lead agency and help DoC 

comply with the Federal Financial Assistance Management Improvement Act of 1999 and the Federal 

Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006. 

Automated business processes available from a GM LoB Consortium will decrease agency reliance on 

manual and paper-based processing, leading to more effective and efficient processes. Consortium lead 

agencies will spread operations and maintenance costs, and development, modernization, and 

enhancement costs across agencies, decreasing the burden that any one agency must bear. 

Service to constituent stakeholders will be improved through the standardization and streamlining of 

government-wide grants business processes. The public will receive time savings as a result of quicker 

notification and faster payments due to an automated system for grants processing. 

Furthermore, GM LoB will minimize complex and varying agency-specific requirements and increase 

grantee ease of use on federal grants management systems. Constituents will have fewer unique agency 

systems and processes to learn, grantees’ ability to learn how to use the system will be improved, and 

reliance on call center technical support will be reduced. Consortium lead agencies will also provide 

grantees with online access to standard post-award reports, decreasing the number of unique agency-
49 

specific reporting requirements. Standardization of systems will encourage and lead to simplification and 

normalization of application and reporting requirements, further savings in time and money for 

constituents who apply for grants, and more available funds for grant related activities. 

Human Resources Management LoB (Managing Partner OPM) 

DoC benefits through its use of best-in-class HR services and systems provided by one of the approved 

service providers, the Department of Agriculture’s National Finance Center. Through its adoption of an

Economic Development Administration, Bureau of the Census, Economics and Statistics Administration, 

International Trade Administration, Bureau of Industry and Security, Minority Business Development 

Agency, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, National 

Technical Information Service, National Institute of Standards & Technology, and the National 

Telecommunications & Information Administration) can benefit from “best-in-class” HR solutions without 

the costs of developing and maintaining their own HR systems. 

DoC’s future involvement in HR LoB will allow the agency to utilize government-wide HR solutions, as well 

as access lessons learned and best practices developed by the task force and other agencies.

Department of Defense 

The E-Government initiatives serve citizens, businesses, and Federal and state government employees by 

delivering high quality services more efficiently at a lower price. Instead of expensive “stove-piped” 

operations, agencies work together to develop common solutions which achieve mission requirements at 

reduced cost, thereby making resources available for higher priority needs. 

The Department of Defense (DoD) is providing funding in FY 2009 to the following EGovernment Initiatives:

Government to Citizen Portfolio 

Disaster Assistance Improvement Plan (Managing Partner DHS) 

The Disaster Assistance Improvement Plan (DAIP) is a government-wide effort to improve the delivery of 

disaster assistance. The initiative includes member agencies which have active disaster assistance 

programs as well as those which do not. While some agencies are affected less than others in times of a 

disaster, all are affected in some way. It is imperative that all agencies work together to assist agencies 

and individuals in need of assistance. 

While DAIP has not identified any disaster assistance programs within DoD, it remains important that the 

department participates in the plan to implement DAIP. For some agencies this will help to ensure that 

their non-disaster assistance programs and services continue to reach disaster victims who may be 

displaced or are otherwise out of contact. For other agencies, participation in DAIP will reduce the burden 

on other federal agencies which routinely provide logistical help and other critical management or 

organizational support during disasters, rather than direct assistance to individuals. For all of these 

agencies, participation in DAIP provides a platform to offer application intake in the event that a form of 

assistance is authorized as a result of a disaster, as well as to offer a resource to individuals who inquire 

with the agency about disaster assistance. 

The DAIP program office is continuing to work through quantifying and reporting on the benefits and cost 

savings or cost reductions for each member agency. Participating in DAIP will help DoD and component 

bureaus comply with Executive Order 13411, which mandates that disaster victims have prompt and 

efficient access to federal disaster assistance, as well as information regarding assistance available from 

government and private sector sources. 
51 

Government to Business Portfolio 

Business Gateway (Managing Partner SBA)

While DoD is not considered a regulatory department, DoD continues to support Business Gateway in the 

service of American citizens as follows: 

DoD’s stakeholders can potentially receive benefits from Business Gateway. These benefits are outlined 

below. Through increased outreach, more constituents will be able to realize these benefits. 

• Improved forms management: By making 102 forms available on Forms.gov, DoD saves 

agency time in supporting forms management, and is expected to produce significant savings 

in paper and postage. DoD forms were accessed via Forms.gov 124,852 times in FY 2008. 

• Increased exposure: Business.gov lists DoD compliance links providing cross-agency 

exposure to American businesses. In FY 2008 Business.gov directed 4,907 visits to DoD sites. 

• Regulatory compliance: The Business.gov website enables DoD to comply with the reporting 

requirement for the Small Business Paperwork Relief Act (SBPRA) and is also consistent with 

the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (SBREFA), which called on 

federal regulatory agencies to publish small business guides that assist small firms in 

complying with, and answer small businesses’ inquiries about federal regulations.

Government to Government Portfolio 

Grants.gov (Managing Partner HHS)

The Grants.gov initiative benefits DoD research programs by providing a single location to publish grant 

(funding) opportunities and application packages, and a single site for the grants community to locate 

and apply for grants using common forms, processes, and systems. DoD uses Broad Agency 

Announcements (BAAs) as its primary means of solicitation for research. Most of its BAAs may potentially 

result in award of grants, agreements, or contracts. Therefore, DoD publishes synopses of those BAAs at 

both Grants.gov and FedBizOpps. Use of Grants.gov has increased the ability of potential awardees to 

locate grants opportunities in which they may be interested. 

As a result of outreach, training, and monitoring, in FY 2008 DoD posted 150 synopses and 150 

application packages. DoD received almost 12,500 applications via Grants.gov — one of the highest 

numbers among the federal agencies. Both DoD and the applicant community benefited because, in some 

cases, DoD components were able to receive applications electronically where that capability did not 

previously exist. 

Internal Efficiency and Effectiveness Portfolio 

Integrated Acquisition Environment (Managing Partner GSA) 

Through adoption of the tools and services provided by the Integrated Acquisition Environment (IAE) 

initiative, DoD improved its ability to make informed and efficient purchasing decisions, enabling the 

agency to replace manual processes. If it were not possible for DoD to use the IAE systems, they would 

need to build and maintain separate systems to record vendor and contract information, and to post 

procurement opportunities. Agency purchasing officials would not have access to databases of important 

information from other agencies on vendor performance and could not use systems to replace paperbased and labor-intensive work efforts. DoD is the system steward for the Central Contractor 

Registration, Online Representations and Certifications, Federal Agency Registration, and Federal 

Technical Document Solution systems for IAE. These systems allow all agencies to maintain vendor 

registration through a single source, track information on intragovernmental transfers, and post 

classified, sensitive acquisition information safely. For FY 2008, DoD received estimated benefits of 

$120,998,823 based upon the processes, personnel, roles, steps, and actions involved. In addition, the 
52 

agency realized an estimated cost avoidance of $3,475,858 and estimated operational cost savings of 

$18,962,006. 

The IAE includes, but is not limited to, the following components: 

• Central Contractor Registration (CCR): Provides DoD with single source of trading partner 

data. CCR Tools enable DoD access to current socioeconomic and financial information as needed 

for its contractors and entitlement programs without maintenance. 

o The automated collection and management of CCR-type vendor data for its intended 

purposes is estimated to avoid the equivalent of 0.9 man-hours per award transaction 

based upon the processes, personnel, roles, steps, and actions involved. 

o Trading Partners: Enables trading partners to provide required information into a central 

database for use across the federal enterprise instead of submitting to each government 

office. 

• Excluded Parties List System (EPLS): List of parties excluded from receiving federal 

contracts and benefits under non-procurement programs. Access via standard internet browser 

enables DoD to search for excluded parties prior to contract award.

o The automated collection and management of EPLS-type data for its intended purposes 

is estimated to avoid the equivalent of 0.2 man-hours per subject award transaction 

based upon the processes, personnel, roles, steps, and actions involved. 

o Public / Federal Security: Enables the elimination of parties excluded from receiving 

contract awards or benefits under non-procurement programs, which protects the tax 

payers' investment with federal contract and other spending. Users include banks and 

mortgage companies. 

• Electronic Subcontracting Reporting System (eSRS): Provides subcontract reporting. eSRS 

automates collection and management of Individual Subcontract Reports (Formally SF-294) and 

Summary Subcontract Reports (Formally SF-295) data for DoD. 

o The automated collection and management of eSRS-type data for the SF-294 and SF-295 

for its intended purposes is estimated to avoid the equivalent of 0.3 government manhours per subject award transaction that requires subcontracting plans based upon the 

processes, personnel, roles, steps, and actions involved. 

o Small Business/Prime Contractors: Provides an automated filing and reporting capability 

for contractors using sub-contractors ensuring proper sub-contractor usage. 

• Federal Business Opportunity (FBO): Source for contracting opportunities. FBO enables DoD 

to automate management of the competitive notice processes. In addition, FBO provides DoD 

with the ability to support the rebuilding efforts in both Iraq and Afghanistan by providing for 

unrestricted access to rebuilding requirements in support of “Operation Enduring Freedom”.

o Cost avoidance is realized by eliminating time delays, labor, supplies/resource usage, 

equipment wear, and expenditures related to: printing, photocopying, ink & paper usage, 

postage, maintenance of interested vendor lists; mailing, correction of mailing addresses, 

settling disagreements over wrong mailings, investigation of returned non-deliveries of 

notices, etc. The automated management of the competitive notice processes is 

estimated to avoid the equivalent of 5.5 government man-hours per subject transaction 

based upon the processes, personnel, roles, steps, and actions involved. 

o Small Business/Contractors: Enables contractors and small businesses access to federal 

solicitations using standard internet browser capabilities and provides an e-mail 

notification process for new postings. This further eliminates the need to check websites 

from every contracting office for bidding opportunities. 
53 

• Federal Technical Documents System (FedTeDS): In FY 2008, FedTeDS services were 

incorporated into FBO. FedTeDS functionality controls access to secure but unclassified 

documents. FedTeds provides DoD with a secure service for storage and distribution of secure 

but unclassified documents for solicitations such as aircraft, ships, electronics and weapons and 

materials drawings and specifications for the services as needed. FedTeDS has eliminated the 

need within DoD for extranets and reliance on drawings and specification room providers.

o Cost avoidance is realized by eliminating time delays, labor, supplies/resource usage, 

equipment wear, & expenditures related to: printing, photocopying, ink & paper usage, 

postage, maintenance of interested vendor lists; mailing, correction of mailing addresses, 

settling disagreements over wrong mailings, investigation of returned non-deliveries of 

notices, etc. The automated management of the processes is estimated to avoid labor 

equivalent to 2.5 government man-hours per subject transaction based upon the 

processes, personnel, roles, steps, and actions involved. 

o Public/Federal Security: Provides a secure facility to protect secure but unclassified 

technical documentation related to solicitations. 

• Federal Procurement Data System-Next Generation (FPDS-NG): Supplies contract award 

data. FPDS-NG provides DoD with an automated capability to directly report awards real time 

from DoD’s contract writing systems, and extract reports of award data.

o Reduced reliance and positioning to discontinue the DoD feeder system; facilitate real 

time reporting integrated with agency contract writing systems. 

o Congress/Public: Automates the dissemination of contract award data and incorporates 

public access. 

• Online Representation and Certification (ORCA): Replaces most of the paper-based 

Representations and Certifications in Section K of solicitations with an Internet application. In 

addition, ORCA automates DoD-specific Representation and Certifications to further eliminate 

paper requirements on solicitations. Finally, ORCA automated the SF-300 page 2 equivalent to 

reduce the redundant paper requirement for the Architect-Engineering business process.

o ORCA efficiencies compared to the equivalent manual management of the necessary 

representations and certifications for subject transactions are estimated to avoid the 

equivalent of 1.2 government man-hours each based upon the processes, personnel, 

roles, steps, and actions involved. 

o Contractors: Reduces time, cost and inaccuracies for contractors responding to federal 

solicitations. ORCA generally provides for a single annual submission to replace the 

previous repetitive input in every solicitation. 

• Wage Determination Online (WDOL): Provides Service Contract Act (SCA) & Davis Bacon Act 

(DBA) labor rates. WDOL makes available the most current labor rates to DoD for services and 

construction programs. 

o In FY 2008, there were totals of 615,264 SCA wage determinations and 688,307 DBA 

wage determinations made on WDOL. 

o Cost avoidance is realized by eliminating time delays, labor, supplies/resource usage, 

equipment wear, and expenditures related to: printing, photocopying, ink & paper usage, 

and postage for corresponding with contractors. The automated management of the 

processes is estimated to avoid labor equivalent to 1.5 government man-hours per wage 

determination request based upon the processes, personnel, roles, steps, and actions 

involved. 

o Public: Ensures that appropriate labor rates are included in a contract for the labor 

categories specified in the Service Contract Act and Davis-Bacon Act.

Integrated Acquisition Environment - Loans and Grants (Managing Partner GSA) - 

All agencies participating in the posting and/or awarding of Loans & Grants are required by the Federal 

Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA) to disclose award information on a publicly 

accessible website. Cross-government cooperation with OMB’s Integrated Acquisition Environment 

initiative allows agencies to meet the requirements of the FFATA by assigning a unique identifier, 

determining corporate hierarchy, and validating and cleaning up incorrect or incomplete data. The FFATA 

enhances transparency of federal program performance information, funding, and loans & grants 

solicitation. 

Lines of Business 

Budget Formulation and Execution LoB (Managing Partner ED) 

BFE LoB provides significant benefits to partner agencies by encouraging best practices across all aspects 

of federal budgeting – from budget formulation and execution to performance to collaboration to human 

capital needs. 

To benefit all agencies, including DoD, BFE LoB continues to support Department of Treasury as the 

system owner in the advancement of the Budget Formulation and Execution Manager (BFEM), the first 

shared fee-for-service budget formulation system. With support from BFE LoB, Treasury/BFEM made 

available a new Performance Measure Manager (PMM) module in early 2008. This module allows users to 

automate the definition, collection, and reporting of all types of performance measures. The BFEM system 

is an option for DoD and any DoD component that is in need of a budget formulation or performance 

measurement system. In 2009, Treasury/BFEM plans to integrate PMM with OMB’s Program Assessment 

Rating Tool system and begin work on automating the transfer of apportionment data from BFEM to 

OMB's MAX system. 

To help agencies assess their budget systems requirements, BFE LoB created a decision matrix and 

recently evaluated nine budget systems against the matrix. This evaluation is available for all agencies to 

use and provides cost savings to agencies by eliminating the need for agencies to review this many 

systems individually. DoD may benefit from using this matrix as a starting point in determining specific 

system needs and determining a short list of the available systems to best meet its requirements. In 

2009, BFE LoB will research the possibilities for additional fee-for-service budget systems. 

BFE LoB’s “MAX Federal Community,” a secure government-only collaborative website, provides 

significant benefits for collaboration across and within agencies, as well as knowledge management. It is 

used within the budget community, as well as other related communities such as Grants, Financial 

Management, Performance, E-Government, and more. DoD currently has 788 users registered for the 

MAX Federal Community. The MAX Community site is commonly used for sharing information, 

collaboratively drafting documents (including the direct-editing of documents posted on the site), 

supporting workgroups, submitting central reports, and much more. DoD also has the option to use BFE 

LoB’s online meeting tool for DoD budget meetings. Enhancements to both tools will continue in 2009 as 

these technologies advance. 

DoD provided its budget execution process maps to BFE LoB to initiate government-wide discussions on 

these processes. As BFE LoB continues to work toward more automated data exchange, Defense will 

benefit in these areas. Defense may also choose to use BFE LoB’s "Touchpoints" document to further 

improve agency interactions between budget execution and financial management. 

BFE LoB’s Human Capital Federal Budget Core Competency Framework is a resource for DoD to use in its 

internal workforce planning initiatives. BFE LoB plans to continue to expand this framework in 2009.

Federal Health Architecture LoB (Managing Partner HHS)

More than 60 percent of military personnel receive care from non-military providers through the TRICARE 

benefits program, which augments military care with networks of civilian health care professionals, 

institutions, pharmacies and suppliers. TRICARE providers do not have access to the DoD’s electronic 

health record systems. Electronic exchanges between these providers and DoD’s systems are thus limited 

in scope and detail. The Nationwide Health Information Network (NHIN) provided through FHA LoB will 

provide both DoD and TRICARE providers with a comprehensive, integrated and up-to-date view of a 

patient’s health. NHIN will enhance the quality of care for individual service members and provide 

monitoring information that will improve force protection for the DoD as a whole. Furthermore, NHIN can 

provide DoD with access to the records of Guard and Reserve personnel for care received when they are 

not on active duty, which can significantly enhance force readiness efforts. 

Financial Management LoB (Managing Partner GSA)

DoD will realize the following benefits through participation in FM LoB and usage of a FM Shared Service 

Provider (SSP): 

• Cost Savings; 

• Minimizing Risk: SSP customers will be able to minimize risk by implementing and using financial 

systems that are already operating with standard operating procedures; 

• Avoiding Duplicate Operational Costs: Reducing redundant costs by using standard business 

processes and a common system software certified by the Financial System Integration Office in 

the General Services Administration; and 

• Facilitating Best Practices/Standardization: Key tools such as a Request for Proposal framework 

and Service Level Agreement guides will be provided to DoD to help in the development of 

agency agreements with SSPs. 

Geospatial LoB (Managing Partner DoI) 

DoD is looking forward to the returns on investments from Geospatial LoB with regard to the efficiency 

and synergy across the government. Geospatial LoB provides more immediate access to geospatial 

information that would lead to improved productivity, improved mission delivery, and increased service to 

citizens. Geospatially enabling traditional business data will improve business process efficiency, allow for 

geographically based work planning and investment processes, assist in infrastructure asset tracking, 

improve mission delivery, and promote use of business intelligence in DoD’s decision support systems. 

The LoB is intended to establish methods for improved processes of doing business using geospatial 

information. 

Grants Management LoB (Managing Partners HHS and NSF) 

In January 2008, DoD signed a memorandum of understanding with the National Science Foundation 

(NSF), one of the GM LoB Consortium lead agencies, to explore the use of NSF’s Research.gov portal by 

DoD components responsible for the award and administration of research grants and agreements. DoD’s 

research and related grants and agreements account for about two-thirds (or over $2 billion) of DoD’s 

annual financial assistance obligations and about 80 percent of the transactions in DoD’s overall financial 

assistance portfolio. 

Subsequently, three DoD Components (the Army Research Office (ARO), the Air Force Office of Scientific 

Research, and the Defense Threat Reduction Agency) agreed to work with Research.gov in pilot efforts 

related to use of the Research.gov Grant Application Status Service. ARO will be the first to pass data to 

Research.gov for access by principal investigators and offices of sponsored research. At this early point, 

there are no cost avoidances or operational cost savings to report. 

By participating in Research.gov, potential benefits for DoD include reducing agency resources for 

answering individual requests for application status, and reduction or elimination of the need for 
56 

individual DoD organizations to build capabilities into their own systems if those capabilities can be 

provided by Research.gov. 

DoD’s use of this Research.gov service will also offer potential benefits for additional stakeholders. 

Applicants (principal investigators and business officers) will have readily accessible means to obtain the 

status of their applications and common status categories across participating research agencies. New 

features and services for grant applicants on Research.gov can be developed in concert with other NSF 

partners. 

Human Resources Management LoB (Managing Partner OPM) 

DoD operates as one of the approved human resources service providers for HR LoB. Core HR Services 

are provided by DoD through the Civilian Personnel Management Service and the Defense Finance and 

Accounting Service. This initiative allows DoD to optimize the cost of managing HR systems and 

processes across a large customer base, thus reducing agency costs to perform such functions 

themselves. Additionally, DoD's involvement in HR LoB allows the agency to utilize government-wide HR 

solutions, as well as access lessons learned and best practices developed by the task force and other 

agencies. This approach is fundamental to achieving modern, cost-effective, standardized, and 

interoperable HR solutions.

Disaster Assistance Improvement Plan (Managing Partner DHS) 

ED supports non-disaster assistance programs and services which reach disaster victims who may be 

displaced or are otherwise out of contact. 

In its first year of operation, the DAIP team identified the following Form of Assistance (FOA) within ED: 

• Category 4 - Agencies that can leverage data collected from disaster victims or can provide 

additional data/validations: 

o Federal Student Aid Loan and Grant Data (Office of Federal Student Aid) 

This FOA will allow federal student loan recipients to look up the details of their loan(s), which might 

otherwise be difficult to obtain. 

Government to Business Portfolio 

Business Gateway (Managing Partner SBA)

Business Gateway can provide cost savings and expanded services to ED. Cost savings can be achieved 

through reduced call center costs due to reduced call volumes. Business Gateway’s outreach efforts have 

led to additional outlets for advertisement of ED’s service offerings. 

Educational institutions need to be aware of, and comply with, laws and regulations from numerous 

agencies. Rather than having to visit multiple agency websites, school administrators can access the 

government resources through one simple gateway, Business.gov. 
58 

ED’s stakeholders can potentially receive benefits from Business Gateway. These benefits are outlined 

below. Through increased outreach, more constituents will be able to realize these benefits. 

• Improved forms management: By making 54 forms available on the Forms.gov website, ED 

saves agency time supporting forms management, and is expected to produce significant 

savings in paper and postage. ED forms were accessed via Forms.gov 37,411 times in FY 

2008. 

• Increased exposure: Business.gov lists numerous ED compliance links providing cross-agency 

exposure to American businesses. In FY 2008, Business.gov directed 5,084 visits to ED sites. 

• Increased transparency: The Business Gateway Program supports ED in meeting its public 

service commitment for customer transparency by providing its business customers with 

available and seamless access to information about its compliance requirements. 

• Regulatory compliance: The Business.gov website enables ED to comply with the reporting 

requirement for the Small Business Paperwork Relief Act (SBPRA) and is also consistent with 

the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (SBREFA). These acts called 

on federal regulatory agencies to publish small business guides that assist small firms in 

complying with, and answer small businesses’ inquiries about federal regulations. 

Government to Government Portfolio 

Grants.gov (Managing Partner HHS)

The Grants.gov initiative continues to benefit ED and its grant programs by providing a single location to 

publish grant (funding) opportunities and application packages, and by providing a single site for the 

grants community to apply for grants using common forms, processes, and systems. 

The Department was the first to post an application on Grants.gov and one of the initial adopters of 

utilizing Grants.gov to receive applications. The Department posted 151 synopses and 152 application 

packages in FY 2008. Since the inception of Grants.gov, ED has posted approximately 675 funding 

opportunities and over 300 application packages on Grants.gov. To date, ED has received approximately 

23,861 electronic applications from the grants community via Grants.gov. As such, ED ranks in the top 5 

agencies for number of applications received via Grants.gov since inception.

Geospatial LoB (Managing Partner DoI) 

ED administers programs that provide financial aid for eligible applicants for elementary, secondary, and 

college education, for the education of individuals with disabilities and of those who are disadvantaged or 

gifted, and for the education of immigrants, American Indians, and people with limited English 

proficiency. ED would benefit from geospatial systems and data, which would meet its mission goals by 

using location-based applications to more effectively manage its programs. The LoB provides more 
60 

immediate access to geospatial information that would lead to improved productivity, improved mission 

delivery, and increased service to customers. Enabling traditional business data geospatially will improve 

business process efficiency; allow for geographically based work planning and investment processes; 

assist in infrastructure asset tracking; improve mission delivery; and promote use of business intelligence 

in the department’s decision support systems. 

Grants Management LoB (Managing Partners HHS and NSF) 

ED’s full life cycle Grants Management System is not yet operational and has not realized cost savings to 

date. It is expected that that the overall benefits will be realized government-wide after the system has 

been implemented and Consortia partners have migrated and shut down their agency systems. The key 

benefits of the GM LoB initiative for ED and its Consortia partners will be the reduction in the number of 

systems of record for grants data across the agencies and the development of common reporting 

standards, improving ED and its partner’s ability to provide agency and government-wide reports on 

grant activities and results. Automated business processes available through the Consortia will decrease 

agency reliance on manual and paper-based processing. As a Consortia lead, ED will share operations 

and maintenance costs, and development, modernization, and enhancement costs across agencies, 

decreasing the burden that any one agency must bear. 

 

Stakeholders serviced by ED include the Department and its Consortia members' internal staff (e.g., 

federal grant program staff) and external customers (e.g., those who apply for grants and receive funds 

accordingly). This includes individuals, large institutions, states, counties, school districts, tribal 

organizations, non-profit organizations and other potential applicants and grantees. Service to customers 

will be improved through the standardization and streamlining of government-wide grants business 

processes. Furthermore, GM LoB will minimize complex and varying agency-specific requirements and 

increase grantee ease of use on federal grants management systems. Constituents will benefit, as they 

will have fewer unique agency systems and processes to learn; grantees' ability to learn how to use the 

system will be improved and reliance on call center technical support will be reduced. 

As a result of the G5 investment and ED’s designation as a GM LoB Consortia Lead, expected benefits to 

stakeholders include: 

 

• Providing a secure way for applicants and grantees to communicate and manage grants; 

• Allowing applicants and grantees to see and maintain their grant data electronically in one place; 

• Eliminating data entry errors and ensuring the most current data is captured in the G5 solution; 

• Eliminating paper mailings and ensuring both the grants community and Federal government 

staff have access to the appropriate data and information on grants; 

• Achieving P.L. 106-107 compliance with greater financial and technical stewardship. The 

purposes of P.L. 106-107 are to (1) Improve the effectiveness and performance of federal 

financial assistance programs; (2) Simplify federal financial assistance application and reporting 

requirements; (3) Improve the delivery of services to the public; and (4) Facilitate greater 

coordination among those responsible for delivering the services. 

To date, Memoranda of Understanding have been signed between ED and the following Consortia 

partners: U.S. Department of Interior, U.S. Department of Justice – Community Oriented Policing 

Services, and U.S. Department of Labor. Current ED Consortia partners are not planned to begin 

migration until after the full implementation of the G5 system. Other potential Consortia partners are 

being vetted who may be able to implement some portion of G5 sooner, such as the G5 payments 

functionality. 

Human Resources Management LoB (Managing Partner OPM) 

ED benefits through its use of best-in-class HR services and systems provided by one of the approved 

service providers, the Department of Interior’s National Business Center. Through its adoption of an 
61 

approved service provider, ED can achieve the benefits of “best-in-class” HR solutions and offer 

employees across the agency improved HR services without the costs of developing and maintaining its 

own HR systems. ED’s involvement in HR LoB allows the agency to utilize government-wide HR solutions, 

as well as access lessons learned and best practices developed by the task force and other agencies.

Department of Energy 

The E-Government initiatives serve citizens, businesses, and Federal and state government employees by 

delivering high quality services more efficiently at a lower price. Instead of expensive “stove-piped” 

operations, agencies work together to develop common solutions which achieve mission requirements at 

reduced cost, thereby making resources available for higher priority needs. 

The Department of Energy (DoE) is providing funding in FY 2009 to the following EGovernment Initiatives:

Benefits realized through the use of these initiatives are as follows: 

Government to Business Portfolio 

Business Gateway (Managing Partner SBA) 

By creating a single portal for business information, such as regulatory compliance information, Business 

Gateway directly benefits DoE’s stakeholders, including petroleum producers, energy providers, and 

waste management businesses - all of whom are subject to complex regulatory requirements across 

multiple agencies. 

DoE’s stakeholders can potentially receive significant benefits from Business Gateway. These benefits are 

outlined below. Through increased outreach, more constituents will be able to realize these benefits. 

• Contact center savings: Due to the use of Business.gov and Forms.gov a decrease in 

misdirected calls is expected resulting in cost savings for DoE.

• Maintenance savings: Business.gov’s search technology will provide DoE with valuable user 

statistics and feedback, enabling it to simplify content management on its business 

compliance site. 

• Cost and time savings: Businesses looking for DoE compliance regulations can save time and 

money by going to Business.gov. In FY 2008, 74 percent of Business.gov users who 

responded to the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) survey reported saving time 

at an average of nearly 10 hours per user, totaling 3,960,269 hours; 55 percent of survey 

respondents also reported saving money at an average of $753 per user.

• Increased forms management: By making 230 forms available on the Forms.gov website, 

DoE saves agency time in forms management, and is expected to produce significant savings 

in paper and postage. DoE forms were accessed via Forms.gov 65,207 times in FY 2008.

• Increased exposure: Business.gov houses numerous DoE compliance links providing crossagency effectiveness to American businesses; in FY 2008 Business.gov directed 5,831 visits 

to DoE sites. 
63 

• Regulatory compliance: The Business.gov website enables DoE to comply with the reporting 

requirement for the Small Business Paperwork Relief Act (SBPRA) and is also consistent with 

the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (SBREFA), which called on 

federal regulatory agencies to publish small business guides that assist small firms in 

complying with, and answer small businesses’ inquiries about federal regulations.

• Reduced burden on field offices: By directing compliance-related inquiries to Business.gov, 

agencies with field offices will save training and staff-time dollars.

• Data harmonization: Business Gateway is in a unique position to support data harmonization 

efforts indirectly through its content partnerships with various government agencies. DoE has 

the opportunity to identify and realize data harmonization benefits in many areas, such as 

monitoring of energy generation for the petroleum and nuclear industries.

Government to Government Portfolio 

Grants.gov (Managing Partner HHS)

The initiative benefits DoE by providing a single location to publish grants (funding) opportunities and 

application packages, and by providing a single site for the grants community to locate and apply for 

grants using common forms, processes, and systems. Specifically: 

• DoE’s applicants now have easy access to opportunities at other agencies they might not 

have been aware of previously; 

• Applicants to other agencies who were not aware of DoE’s programs now have visibility into 

DoE’s announcements which may result in reaching a more diverse pool of applicants; and 

• Grants.gov has provided an incentive for DoE to further standardize and streamline its 

processes to use the common set of forms available at Grants.gov to the extent possible and 

minimize the use of DoE, program office, and program specific forms. 

In FY 2008 DoE posted 133 synopses and 134 application packages on Grants.gov, and received a total 

of 6,507 applications through Grants.gov.

Internal Efficiency and Effectiveness Portfolio 

Integrated Acquisition Environment - Loans and Grants (Managing Partner GSA) 

All agencies participating in the posting and/or awarding of Loans & Grants are required by the Federal 

Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA) to disclose award information on a publicly 

accessible website. Cross-government cooperation with OMB’s Integrated Acquisition Environment 

initiative allows agencies to meet the requirements of the FFATA by assigning a unique identifier, 

determining corporate hierarchy, and validating and cleaning up incorrect or incomplete data. The FFATA 

enhances transparency of federal program performance information, funding, and loans & grants 

solicitation. 

Lines of Business 

Budget Formulation and Execution LoB (Managing Partner ED) 

BFE LoB provides significant benefits to partner agencies by encouraging best practices across all aspects 

of federal budgeting – from budget formulation and execution to performance to collaboration to human 

capital needs. 

To benefit all agencies, including DoE, BFE LoB continues to support Department of Treasury as the 

system owner in the advancement of the Budget Formulation and Execution Manager (BFEM), the first 

shared fee-for-service budget formulation system. With support from BFE LoB, Treasury/BFEM made 

available a new Performance Measure Manager (PMM) module in early 2008. This module allows users to 
64 

automate the definition, collection, and reporting of all types of performance measures. DoE is working 

directly with Treasury to implement the PMM to support DoE’s performance measures. The BFEM system 

is an option for DoE and any DoE component that is in need of a budget formulation or performance 

measurement system. In 2009, Treasury/BFEM plans to integrate PMM with OMB’s Program Assessment 

Rating Tool system and begin work on automating the transfer of apportionment data from BFEM to 

OMB's MAX system. 

To help agencies assess their budget systems requirements, BFE LoB created a decision matrix and 

recently evaluated nine budget systems against the matrix. This evaluation is available for all agencies to 

use and provides cost savings to agencies by eliminating the need for agencies to review this many 

systems individually. DoE may benefit from using this matrix to supplement the research they are doing 

on budget systems. In 2009, BFE LoB will research the possibilities for additional fee-for-service budget 

systems. 

BFE LoB’s “MAX Federal Community,” a secure government-only collaborative website, provides 

significant benefits for collaboration across and within agencies, as well as knowledge management. It is 

used within the budget community, as well as other related communities such as Grants, Financial 

Management, Performance, E-Government, and more. DoE currently has 270 users registered for the 

MAX Federal Community. The MAX Community site is commonly used for sharing information, 

collaboratively drafting documents (including the direct-editing of documents posted on the site), 

supporting workgroups, submitting central reports, and much more. DoE also has the option to use BFE 

LoB’s online meeting tool for DoE budget meetings. Enhancements to both tools will continue in 2009 as 

these technologies advance. 

DoE may choose to use BFE LoB’s "Touchpoints" document and budget execution process maps to 

improve its own agency interactions between budget execution and financial management. BFE LoB will 

continue to work toward more automated data exchange to improve data quality in these areas. 

BFE LoB’s Human Capital Federal Budget Core Competency Framework is a resource for DoE to use in its 

internal workforce planning initiatives. BFE LoB plans to continue to expand this framework in 2009. 

Financial Management LoB (Managing Partner GSA)

DoE will realize the following benefits through participation in FM LoB and usage of a FM Shared Service 

Provider (SSP): 

• Cost Savings; 

• Minimizing Risk: SSP customers will be able to minimize risk by implementing and using financial 

systems that are already operating with standard operating procedures; 

• Avoiding Duplicate Operational Costs: Reducing redundant costs by using standard business 

processes and a common system software certified by the Financial System Integration Office in 

the General Services Administration; and 

• Facilitating Best Practices/Standardization: Key tools such as a Request for Proposal framework 

and Service Level Agreement guides will be provided to DoE to help in the development of 

agency agreements with SSPs. 

Geospatial LoB (Managing Partner DoI) 

DoE is looking forward to returns on investments from the Geospatial LoB, including: 

• Improved communication and transparency of the Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC). 

• Service Level Agreements (SLAs) will provide an opportunity to establish a consistent level of 

geospatial services across the Federal government that DoE will leverage. 
65 

• SmartBUY License Vehicles will be used to leverage economies of scale to broker national 

procurement contract vehicles (services, hardware, software, data) for the federal community 

resulting in incremental cost savings that will also benefit the DoE. 

Grants Management LoB (Managing Partners HHS and NSF) 

DoE anticipates that the key benefit arising from the implementation of the GM LoB framework will be 

having more standardized policies across the federal grant making agencies, and the provision of a 

centralized location to download all applications, make awards, and track awards to closeout. DoE had 

previously centralized the receipt of applications for all DOE offices into a single back office system. By 

extending this standardization across all GM LoB identified functions, automated business processes will 

decrease agency reliance on manual and paper-based processing and operations and maintenance costs, 

and development, modernization, and enhancement costs across agencies, decreasing the burden that 

any one agency must bear. This reduced effort can be applied across DoE where there were 

approximately 5,791 active assistance awards under which obligations, totaling approximately $2.7 billion 

made through the end of FY 2008. 

DoE has begun implementing a single solution for processing the entire award cycle for both procurement 

and assistance activities DoE-wide. The grants management component was approved by OMB as an 

alternative to the existing GM LoB solutions during FY 2008. DoE does not yet have any cost savings data 

yet as only five of eighteen offices were implemented during the fiscal year and those offices will 

decommission or retire any existing systems previously being using in FY 2009. GM LoB will lead to a 

reduction in the number of systems of record for grants data across DoE and the government and the 

development of common reporting standards, improving DoE’s ability to provide agency- and 

government-wide reports on grant activities and results. Migrating to a single solution will help DoE 

comply with the Federal Financial Assistance Management Improvement Act of 1999 and the Federal 

Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006. 

Service to constituents will be improved through the standardization and streamlining of governmentwide grants business processes incorporated into DoE's GM LoB solution. The public will receive time 

savings as a result of quicker notification and faster payments due to an automated system for grants 

processing. Furthermore, GM LoB will minimize complex and varying agency-specific requirements and 

increase grantee ease of use on federal grants management systems. Constituents will benefit as they 

will have fewer unique agency systems and processes to learn; grantees’ ability to learn how to use the 

system will be improved and reliance on call center technical support will be reduced. DoE's solution will 

conform to the Consortium lead agencies’ grants management practices and will also provide grantees 

with online access to standard post-award reports, decreasing the number of unique agency-specific 

reporting requirements. 

Human Resources Management LoB (Managing Partner OPM) 

DoE benefits through its use of “best-in-class” compensation management services and systems provided 

by one of the approved E-Payroll service providers, the Defense Finance Accounting Service at the 

Department of Defense. Through the adoption of an approved service provider, DoE achieves the 

benefits of a HR LoB best-in-class compensation management solution and is able to concentrate on 

offering employees HR services without the costs of developing and maintaining its own compensation 

management solution. DoE’s initial and ongoing involvement in the HR LoB allows the agency to 

participate in the development of government-wide solutions and take advantage of lessons learned and 

best practices.

Department of Health and Human Services 

The E-Government initiatives serve citizens, businesses, and Federal and state government employees by 

delivering high quality services more efficiently at a lower price. Instead of expensive “stove-piped” 

operations, agencies work together to develop common solutions which achieve mission requirements at 

reduced cost, thereby making resources available for higher priority needs.

Government to Citizen Portfolio 

Disaster Assistance Improvement Plan (Managing Partner DHS) 

The Disaster Assistance Improvement Plan (DAIP) is a government-wide effort to improve the delivery of 

disaster assistance all across the Federal government. The initiative includes member agencies which 

have active disaster assistance programs as well as those which do not. While some partner agencies are 

affected less than others in times of a disaster, all are affected in some way. 

HHS was identified by DAIP as providing disaster assistance. In addition, HHS also supports other nondisaster assistance programs and services which continue to reach disaster victims who may be displaced 

or are otherwise out of contact. Participation in DAIP helps to reduce the burden on other federal 

agencies which routinely provide logistical help and other critical management or organizational support 

during disasters. 

An independent FOA Validation Study is currently underway for HHS to ensure a consistent, replicable 

process for the establishment of a baseline as well as assessing all agency FOAs for inclusion in DAIP. 

Participating in DAIP will help HHS and operating divisions (including the Health Resources and Services 

Administration, Indian Health Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Institutes of 

Health, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid 

Services, Administration for Children and Families, and the Administration on Aging) comply with 

Executive Order 13411, which mandates that disaster victims have prompt and efficient access to federal 

disaster assistance, as well as information regarding assistance available from government and private 

sector sources. 
67 

Government to Business Portfolio 

Business Gateway (Managing Partner SBA)

By creating a single portal for business information, such as regulatory compliance information, Business 

Gateway directly benefits HHS’s stakeholders, including pharmaceutical companies, hospitals, and doctors 

- all of whom are subject to complex regulatory requirements across multiple agencies. 

HHS’s stakeholders can potentially receive significant benefits from Business Gateway. These benefits are 

outlined below. 

• Contact center savings: Due to the use of Business.gov and Forms.gov a decrease in 

misdirected calls is expected resulting in cost savings for HHS. 

• Maintenance savings: Business.gov’s search technology will provide HHS with valuable user 

statistics and feedback, enabling it to simplify content management on its business 

compliance site. 

• Cost and time savings: Businesses looking for HHS compliance regulations can save time and 

money by going to Business.gov. In FY 2008, 74 percent of Business.gov users who 

responded to the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) survey reported saving time 

at an average of nearly 10 hours per user, totaling 3,960,269 hours; 55 percent of survey 

respondents also reported saving money at an average of $753 per user.

• Increased forms management: By making 379 forms available on the Forms.gov website, 

HHS saves agency time in forms management, and is expected to produce significant savings 

in paper and postage. HHS forms were accessed via Forms.gov 210,887 times in FY 2008.

• Increased exposure: Business.gov houses numerous HHS compliance links providing crossagency effectiveness to American businesses; in FY 2008 Business.gov directed 10,143 visits 

to HHS sites. 

• Regulatory compliance: The Business.gov website enables HHS to comply with the reporting 

requirement for the Small Business Paperwork Relief Act (SBPRA) and is also consistent with 

the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (SBREFA), which called on 

federal regulatory agencies to publish small business guides that assist small firms in 

complying with, and answer small businesses’ inquiries about federal regulations.

• Data harmonization: Business Gateway is in a unique position to support data harmonization 

efforts indirectly through its content partnerships with various government agencies. HHS has 

the opportunity to identify and realize data harmonization benefits in many areas, such as 

health care, reporting on and controlling the effects of a biological warfare attack on the 

United States.

Through increased outreach, more constituents will be able to realize these benefits. 

Benefits provided by Business Gateway to HHS operating divisions include: 

• Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) – Business Gateway helps CMS by 

increasing businesses’ access to CMS programs information including Medicare and Medicaid. 

This includes numerous compliance links and 189 forms.

• Food and Drug Administration (FDA) – Business Gateway helps promote FDA’s mission 

by providing access to numerous compliance links and 118 forms.

• Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) – Business Gateway benefits the 

CDC by centralizing information for the business owner, including numerous compliance links 

and 32 forms. 

• National Institutes of Health (NIH) – Business Gateway enhances businesses’ access to 

occupational health research and grant information, and supports NIH’s commitment to 

cooperating with small businesses and providing access to health-related potential contract 

opportunities with NIH. This includes compliance links and 12 forms.
68 

• Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA) – Business Gateway benefits 

HRSA by supporting its primary mission to improve American public health by providing and 

health care professionals with up to date information concerning federal programs, grants, 

and nationwide shortages in health care services. This includes compliance links and nine 

forms. 

• Indian Health Service (IHS) – Business Gateway helps IHS by providing access to health 

information regarding culturally acceptable and comprehensive health care services to the 

American Indian and the Alaska Native populations. This includes compliance links and six 

forms.

• Substance Abuse & Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) – Business 

Gateway provides both businesses and citizens with ready access to compliance and other 

information related to SAMHSA's mission. This includes compliance links and three forms 

related to drug-use prevention. 

• Other Offices: The Office of the Inspector General also benefits through Business Gateway 

providing a consolidated space for these previously separate bureaus to list and consolidate 

compliance information as well as federal forms.

Government to Government Portfolio 

E-Vital (Managing Partner HHS)

The Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act (IRTPA) of 2004 mandated that the Department of 

Health and Human Services (HHS) establish by regulation minimum standards to improve the security of 

birth certificates. IRTPA outlined three categories for which minimum standards are to be established: 

• Certification of the birth certificate by the state or local government custodian of record that 

issued the certificate, including the use of safety paper or an equally secure medium, the use 

of a seal of the issuing custodian of record, and other features designed to prevent 

tampering, counterfeiting, or otherwise duplicating the birth certificate for fraudulent 

purposes; 

• Proof and verification of the identity as a condition of issuance of a birth certificate, with 

additional security measures for the issuance of a birth certificate for person who is not the 

applicant; and 

• Processing of birth certificate applications to prevent fraud. 

Moreover, the law recognized that technology would play a significant role in improving the security of 

birth certificates by authorizing HHS to award grants to states to assist them in three areas: 

• Computerizing their birth and death records; 

• Developing the capability to match birth and death records within each state and among 

states; and 

• Noting the fact of death on the birth certificates of deceased persons. 

The E-Vital activity was initiated to reengineer the paper-bound processes to collect, process, analyze, 

and disseminate vital records information among federal, state and other stakeholders requiring access to 

data according to state and federal laws and regulations. The intent of the project was to lay the 

foundation for a national, but state-driven, process for capturing timelier, more accurate vital records 

information that would enable more strategic programmatic and administrative decisions. This 

reengineering effort has the potential for major savings for states and all other users of vital data through 

quicker deletion of the deceased from eligibility files and the reduction of fraud. 

OMB transitioned the managing partner responsibility for the E-Vital initiative to HHS in 2008 (previously 

the managing partner was SSA). HHS, SSA, and DHS are to continue to assist states in automating the 

paper-bound death registration process through use of an electronic, Web-based system called Electronic 
69 

Death Registration (EDR). EDR connects the various death registration participants (e.g., funeral 

directors, physicians, hospitals, medical examiners, coroners) with the states’ jurisdiction’s Bureau of Vital 

Statistics. This work on EDR is done in addition to the work mandated by IRTPA to improve security over 

birth certificates. 

Grants.gov (Managing Partner HHS)

The initiative benefits HHS and specifically its Operating Divisions (Food and Drug Administration, Health 

Resources and Services Administration, Indian Health Services, Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention, National Institutes of Health, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, 

Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Administration 

for Children and Families, and Administration on Aging by providing a single location to publish grants 

(funding) opportunities and application packages, and by providing a single site for the grants community 

to locate and apply for grants using common forms, processes, and systems. 

In FY 2008, HHS posted over 849 packages and received 117,519 application submissions. HHS estimates 

each grantee’s application processing time is reduced by five hours per application through the use of 

Grants.Gov, resulting in an overall reduction of approximately 250,000 hours in applicant time. 

 

Additionally, Grants.gov enabled HHS’s Operating Divisions to consolidate the number of grants 

management systems in use, reducing system development and operating costs. HHS’s Operating 

Divisions are also standardizing business processes around Grants.gov – providing the added benefit of a 

grants management staffing more flexible and deployable across the operating divisions as needed to 

process grants.

Internal Efficiency and Effectiveness Portfolio 

Integrated Acquisition Environment - Loans and Grants (Managing Partner GSA) 

All agencies participating in the posting and/or awarding of Loans & Grants are required by the Federal 

Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA) to disclose award information on a publicly 

accessible website. Cross-government cooperation with OMB’s Integrated Acquisition Environment 

initiative allows agencies and contributing bureaus (including the Food and Drug Administration, Health 

Resources and Services Administration, Indian Health Services, Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention, National Institutes of Health, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, 

Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Administration 

for Children and Families, and Administration on Aging at HHS) to meet the requirements of the FFATA 

by assigning a unique identifier, determining corporate hierarchy, and validating and cleaning up 

incorrect or incomplete data. The FFATA enhances transparency of federal program performance 

information, funding, and loans & grants solicitation. 

Lines of Business 

Budget Formulation and Execution LoB (Managing Partner ED) 

BFE LoB provides significant benefits to partner agencies by encouraging best practices across all aspects 

of federal budgeting – from budget formulation and execution to performance to collaboration to human 

capital needs. 

To benefit all agencies, including HHS, BFE LoB continues to support Department of Treasury as the 

system owner in the advancement of the Budget Formulation and Execution Manager (BFEM), the first 

shared fee-for-service budget formulation system. With support from BFE LoB, Treasury/BFEM made 

available a new Performance Measure Manager (PMM) module in early 2008. This module allows users to 

automate the definition, collection, and reporting of all types of performance measures. In 2009, 
70 

Treasury/BFEM plans to integrate PMM with OMB’s Program Assessment Rating Tool system and begin 

work on automating the transfer of apportionment data from BFEM to OMB's MAX system. 

HHS operating division, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), purchased BFEM for their budget 

formulation process resulting in greater ease in collection of budget data and production of budget 

submissions. They avoided the costs of procuring and setting up a custom system by participating in a 

shared service system sponsored by BFE LoB. The BFEM budget formulation system services HHS/ACF 

and it, along with the PMM module, continue as an option for all HHS components (including the Food 

and Drug Administration; Health Resources and Services Administration; Indian Health Services; Centers 

for Disease Control and Prevention; National Institutes of Health; Substance Abuse and Mental Health 

Services Administration; Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality; Centers for Medicare and Medicaid 

Services; Administration on Aging; and the Office of the Inspector General). 

To help agencies assess their budget systems requirements, BFE LoB created a decision matrix and 

recently evaluated nine budget systems against the matrix. This evaluation is available for all agencies to 

use and provides cost savings to agencies by eliminating the need for agencies to review this many 

systems individually. For headquarters and other components, HHS may benefit from using this matrix as 

a starting point in determining specific system needs and determining a short list of the available systems 

to best meet its requirements. HHS/ACF may benefit from using this matrix in working with 

Treasury/BFEM to ensure that BFEM can meet the full range of customer needs. In 2009, BFE LoB will 

research the possibilities for additional fee-for-service budget systems. As an early adopter of a fee-forservice budget system, HHS/ACF will provide valuable input into this process. 

BFE LoB’s “MAX Federal Community,” a secure government-only collaborative website, provides 

significant benefits for collaboration across and within agencies, as well as knowledge management. It is 

used within the budget community, as well as other related communities such as Grants, Financial 

Management, Performance, E-Government, and more. HHS currently has 689 users registered for the 

MAX Federal Community. The MAX Community site is commonly used for sharing information, 

collaboratively drafting documents (including the direct-editing of documents posted on the site), 

supporting workgroups, submitting central reports, and much more. HHS also has the option to use BFE 

LoB’s online meeting tool for HHS budget meetings. Enhancements to both tools will continue in 2009 as 

these technologies advance. 

HHS may choose to use BFE LoB’s "Touchpoints" document and budget execution process maps to 

improve its own agency interactions between budget execution and financial management. BFE LoB will 

continue to work toward more automated data exchange to improve data quality in these areas. 

BFE LoB’s Human Capital Federal Budget Core Competency Framework is a resource for HHS to use in its 

internal workforce planning initiatives. BFE LoB plans to continue to expand this framework in 2009. 

Federal Health Architecture LoB (Managing Partner HHS)

Within HHS, FHA LoB has provided value to the following bureaus: 

• The Indian Health Service (IHS) is responsible for providing federal health services to over 1.9 

million American Indians and Alaska Natives belonging to more than 562 tribes. The IHS has 

deployed a sophisticated electronic health record system that has been adopted by both IHS and 

tribally administered facilities. However, the distributed and often remote nature and limited 

infrastructure of these facilities have limited the ability to share information across locations or to 

create a comprehensive view for each patient’s care. The Nationwide Health Information Network 

(NHIN) will facilitate exchanges of information among IHS, tribally administered, and private 

sector health care organizations. 
71 

• The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) maintains BioSense, a national program intended to 

improve the nation’s capabilities for conducting real-time biosurveillance, and enabling health 

situational awareness through access to existing data from health care organizations across the 

country. Connectivity to NHIN will provide patient health information feeds to BioSense from 

additional sources that include state/county/local public health agencies, private sector health 

organizations (inpatient and ambulatory care) as well as offer a public health alerting capability 

from CDC to provider electronic health record systems. 

• The National Cancer Institute (NCI) has established the Cancer Bioinformatics Grid (caBIG) to 

connect cancer researchers and clinicians through a shared infrastructure to analyze and 

integrate vast amounts of information. CDC participation in the NHIN CONNECT lends access to 

existing patient health information from clinical sources to inform cancer trials, connects research 

and clinical institutions within the NCI grid network (caBIG) to additional data sources within the 

NHIN, and provides patient identity management capabilities, including a master index and an 

identity pseudonymization capability for research. 

Other participating operating divisions within HHS (including the Food and Drug Administration, National 

Institutes of Health, Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid 

Services) will also benefit from increased performance efficiency, better care, and improved population 

health through FHA LoB’s efforts to advance health information interoperability. 

Financial Management LoB (Managing Partner GSA)

HHS and component bureaus (including Food and Drug Administration, Health Resources and Services 

Administration, Indian Health Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Institutes of 

Health, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Agency for Healthcare Research and 

Quality, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Administration for Children and Families, 

Administration on Aging, and the Office of the Inspector General) will realize the following benefits 

through participation in FM LoB and usage of a FM Shared Service Provider (SSP): 

• Cost Savings; and 

• Avoiding Duplicate Operational Costs: Reducing redundant costs by using standard business 

processes and a common system software certified by the Financial System Integration Office in 

the General Services Administration. 

While HHS is not a selected Shared Service Center under the FM LoB, HHS is implementing the 

department-wide Unified Financial Management System (UFMS). UFMS is a business transformation 

effort, designed to integrate department-wide financial management systems and operations by aligning 

the Department’s businesses with modern technological capabilities. It replaces five legacy financial 

systems with one modern accounting system, and uses a Web-based commercial off-the-shelf product to 

satisfy three categories of financial management systems requirements mandated by FFMIA. UFMS is 

aligned with the FM LoB vision to improve the cost, quality, and performance of financial management 

(FM) reducing non-compliance systems by leveraging common standards, shared service solutions and 

implementing government-wide reforms that foster efficiencies in federal financial operations. 

Geospatial LoB (Managing Partner DoI) 

HHS is responsible for the public health-related theme as outlined in OMB Circular A-16 and is looking 

forward to benefits from the Geospatial LoB in terms of efficient and cost effective public information and 

services. The Secretary’s Operation Center (SOC) currently has a small enterprise geo-database used to 

provide the decision makers of HHS with current status maps of all of the events that are being tracked in 

the SOC. The Center for Disease Control and the Health Resources and Services Administration would 

benefit from enhanced governance processes, improved business planning and investment strategies, 

and optimization and standardization of geospatial business data when promoting the economic and 

social well-being of families, children, individuals, and communities. 
72 

Grants Management LoB (Managing Partners HHS and NSF) 

HHS manages over 76,000 grant awards, totaling over $260 billion annually. HHS is comprised of many 

grant-awarding agencies: Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Administration on Aging (AoA), 

Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 

Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Health Resources 

and Services Administration (HRSA), Indian Health Services (IHS), National Institutes of Health (NIH), 

several divisions within the Office of the Secretary (OS), and Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services 

Administration (SAMHSA). 

 

OMB had designated ACF as a Consortium lead. ACF has established partnerships with many non-HHS 

agencies including Corporation for National and Community Service, Denali Commission, State 

Department, Department of Transportation, Treasury, Environmental Protection Agency, Institute of 

Museum and Library Services, Social Security Administration, U.S. Department of Agriculture/Food Safety 

and Inspection Service, and Veterans Administration. ACF also provides services to HHS agencies, 

including AoA, CMS, HRSA, OS, and IHS. Benefits to ACF Consortium members include a shorter time to 

identify funding opportunities, a uniform grant application process via Grants.gov, and a uniform 

reporting process via the Online Data Collection module. These agencies experienced cost avoidance and 

savings as system DME costs began to be curtailed at HHS in FY 2007; this included the retirement of 

several systems, including Grants Management System at AoA, eGrants at the Office of Public Health and 

Science, I-GEMS (IHS), and GMATS at CMS. Cost savings to migrated agencies range between 20 percent 

and 75 percent. ACF expects to see a combined $24 million in cost savings through FY 2014. 

 

Automated business processes available through Consortia have decreased agency reliance on manual 

and paper-based processing. Consortium lead agencies have spread operations and maintenance costs, 

and development, modernization, and enhancement costs across agencies, decreasing the burden that 

any one agency must bear. 

GM LoB has led to a reduction in the number of systems of record for grants data across HHS and the 

government. The development of common reporting standards improves HHS’s ability to provide agencyand government-wide reports on grant activities and results. Migrating to a Consortium has helped HHS 

comply with the Federal Financial Assistance Management Improvement Act of 1999 and the Federal 

Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006. 

In early 2008, OMB approved NIH’s alternative solution for grants management in lieu of partnering with 

an existing Consortium. The NIH “Consortium”, electronic Research Administration (eRA) is the 

infrastructure that provides for secure receipt, review, award, and ongoing management and 

administration of grants for medical research. eRA has collaborated with the NIH 27 institutes and 

centers and provides services to four HHS agencies (AHRQ, FDA, CDC, and SAMHSA), as well as the 

Department of Veterans Affairs’ Veterans Health Administration. Agencies each use specific components 

of the NIH system based on their individual business needs. 

 

Service to constituents will continue be improved through the standardization and streamlining of 

government-wide grants business processes. The public receives time savings as a result of quicker 

notification and faster payments due to an automated system for grants processing. Furthermore, GM 

LoB will minimize complex and varying agency-specific requirements and increase grantee ease of use on 

federal grants management systems. Constituents will benefit as they will have fewer unique agency 

systems and processes to learn; grantees’ ability to learn how to use the system will be improved and 

reliance on call center technical support will be reduced. Consortium lead agencies will also provide 

grantees with online access to standard post-award reports, decreasing the number of unique agencyspecific reporting requirements. 
73 

Human Resources Management LoB (Managing Partner OPM) 

HHS operates as one of the approved service providers for HR LoB. HHS also receives payroll services 

from the Department of Agriculture’s National Finance Center. This initiative allows HHS and participating 

bureaus (including the Food and Drug Administration, Health Resources and Services Administration, 

Indian Health Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Institutes of Health, 

Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Agency for Healthcare Research and 

Quality, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Administration for Children and Families, 

Administration on Aging, and the Office of the Inspector General) to spread the cost of managing HR 

systems and processes across a larger customer base, reducing agency costs to operate these systems 

and processes. Additionally, HHS’ involvement in HR LoB allows the agency to utilize government-wide 

HR solutions, as well as access lessons learned and best practices developed by the task force and other 

agencies. 
74 

Department of Homeland Security 

The E-Government initiatives serve citizens, businesses, and Federal and state government employees by 

delivering high quality services more efficiently at a lower price. Instead of expensive “stove-piped” 

operations, agencies work together to develop common solutions which achieve mission requirements at 

reduced cost, thereby making resources available for higher priority needs. 

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is providing funding in FY 2009 to the 

following E-Government Initiatives:

Government to Citizen Portfolio 

Disaster Assistance Improvement Plan (Managing Partner DHS) 

The Disaster Assistance Improvement Plan (DAIP) is a government-wide effort to improve the delivery of 

disaster assistance all across the Federal government. The initiative includes member agencies which 

have active disaster assistance programs as well as those which do not. While some partner agencies are 

affected less than others in times of a disaster, all are affected in some way. 

DHS was identified by DAIP as providing disaster assistance. In addition, DHS also supports other nondisaster assistance programs and services which continue to reach disaster victims who may be displaced 

or are otherwise out of contact. Participation in DAIP helps to reduce the burden on other federal 

agencies which routinely provide logistical help and other critical management or organizational support 

during disasters. 

DHS serves as the Managing Partner for the DAIP initiative, with key leadership located within the Federal 

Emergency Management Agency. In the first year of operation, the DAIP team identified the following 

Forms of Assistance (FOAs) within DHS: 

• Category 1 – Disaster-related forms of assistance centrally administered at the federal level: 

o Individual and Households Program (Federal Emergency Management Agency) 

• Category 2 – Disaster-related forms of assistance administered at the state or local level: 

o Disaster Legal Services (Federal Emergency Management Agency) 
75 

• Category 4 – Agencies that can leverage data collected from disaster victims or can provide 

additional data/validations: 

o Disaster Housing Assistance Program (Federal Emergency Management Agency and 

HUD/Public and Indian Housing) 

• Category 5 – Forms of assistance providing information and agency resources that may be of 

interest to disaster victims: 

o National Flood Insurance Program (Federal Emergency Management Agency) 

An independent FOA Validation Study is currently underway for DHS to ensure a consistent, replicable 

process for the establishment of a baseline as well as assessing all agency FOAs for inclusion in DAIP. 

International Trade Data System (Managing Partner DHS) 

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) bureau at DHS benefits from the International Trade Data 

System (ITDS) initiative in a variety of ways including: 

• Improved border security. More timely and accurate data from Participating Government 

Agencies (PGA) will support CBP’s priority of preventing terrorism by allowing officers and 

analysts to more effectively assess risks and deploy enforcement resources. 

• Improved agency performance. Pursuant to law, treaty, regulation, and inter-agency agreement, 

CBP executes more than 400 laws and regulations on behalf of other agencies. Where the 

Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) and ITDS increases the ability of PGAs to perform 

enforcement activities, CBP also benefits. 

• Improved public policy formulation and analysis. More complete, timely, and accurate data will 

support better, more responsive analyses for policy formulation, trade compliance, and homeland 

security. 

• Improved performance under Government Paperwork Elimination Act (GPEA). Shared use of 

declaration information and enhanced electronic transaction and communication capabilities will 

replace many of the manual, paper-based processes in place today. 

• Reduced operating costs. Reducing the amount of paper forms that CBP processes on behalf of 

PGAs and reducing the time spent coordinating with PGA officials when needed information is 

missing. 

The challenge and opportunity for CBP is to protect America’s borders while facilitating the world’s largest 

flow of legitimate trade. National security, and particularly homeland security, is the nation’s first priority. 

ACE/ITDS must answer this call while facilitating, and even promoting, trade across the border. 

ACE/ITDS will accomplish this dual mission by moving to a risk management approach. By moving to an 

account-based system, ACE/ITDS will be able to make selectivity and risk assessments based on activity 

across the account, not just on individual transaction data. Drawing on government-wide customer 

relationship management databases, ACE/ITDS will provide the information technology for making quick 

evaluations on whether particular people or goods should be deemed high-risk or low-risk. ACE/ITDS will 

have the ability to analyze vast amounts of data and intelligence to see links among businesses and 

people, thus revealing security threats that might otherwise have gone unnoticed. 

Key attributes of ACE/ITDS that will improve border security include: 

• Providing a means for achieving greater cooperation among the federal enforcement officials 

through sharing of relevant trade information via a secure communications network 

• Providing the basis to apply more sophisticated risk-management techniques 

• Pooling of follow-up intelligence information to enhance the government’s capacity to make more 

informed decisions and more complete analysis 

CBP receives and processes millions of PGA paper forms each year. Depending on the port and the PGA 

form, CBP officers must either file the form in an appropriate mailbox for a PGA representative to pick up 
76 

each day, or insert the forms into an envelope and mail them to the PGA. ACE/ITDS is expected to 

increase the number of entries and exits that are handled in an electronic manner, thereby reducing the 

number of paper PGA forms handled by CBP. 

Government to Business Portfolio 

Business Gateway (Managing Partner SBA) 

Business values derived from Business.gov are necessary to support the integration of 22 agencies for 

DHS business stakeholders by providing a centralized service to consolidate regulatory and compliance 

information across the Homeland ensuring easier access to compliance information and, subsequently, 

greater compliance with DHS regulations. The one-stop portal supports the DHS mission by making 

compliance information easily accessible to the DHS business community. As documented in a recent 

customer satisfaction report, DHS customers seeking compliance information report that each visit to 

Business.gov saved business users 12 labor hours. 

Business.gov helps DHS support the "One DHS" approach and functions as a key interface to its business 

stakeholders in the areas of transportation, immigration, cyber-security, cargo, emergency management, 

screening, law enforcement, and border protection. Due to the value-based service provided by SBA, DHS 

will continue to look to Business.gov to provide business compliance and regulatory information to 

businesses supporting the DHS mission. 

The department’s vast network of organizations and institutions creates a complex environment for 

businesses to navigate. Business.gov makes it easier for businesses to get answers to their questions 

through an issue-based search capability, links to compliance resources, and access to forms and contact 

information. 

DHS’s stakeholders can potentially receive significant benefits from Business Gateway (BG). These 

benefits are outlined below. 

• Contact center savings: Due to the use of Business.gov and Forms.gov a decrease in 

misdirected calls is expected resulting in cost savings for DHS. 

• Maintenance savings: Business.gov’s search technology will provide DHS with valuable user 

statistics and feedback, enabling it to simplify content management on its business 

compliance site. 

• Cost and time savings: Businesses looking for DHS compliance regulations can save time and 

money by going to Business.gov. In FY 2008, 74 percent of Business.gov users who 

responded to the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) survey reported saving time 

at an average of nearly 10 hours per user, totaling 3,960,269 hours; 55 percent of survey 

respondents also reported saving money at an average of $753 per user.

• Increased forms management: By making 391 forms available on the Forms.gov website, 

DHS saves agency time in forms management, and is expected to produce significant savings 

in paper and postage. DHS forms were accessed via Forms.gov 350,631 times in FY 2008.

• Increased exposure: Business.gov houses numerous DHS compliance links providing crossagency effectiveness to American businesses; in FY 2008 Business.gov directed 13,840 visits 

to DHS sites. 

• Reduced burden on field offices: By directing compliance-related inquiries to Business.gov, 

agencies with field offices will save training and staff-time dollars.

• Data harmonization: BG is in a unique position to support data harmonization efforts 

indirectly through its content partnerships with various government agencies. DHS has the 

opportunity to identify and realize data harmonization benefits in many areas, such as 

immigration and visa processes.

Through increased outreach, more constituents will be able to realize these benefits. 
77 

Benefits provided by BG to Department of Homeland Security bureaus include: 

• Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) – BG supports FEMA emergency 

response and recovery mission FEMA by providing access to numerous links and 54 forms.

• Directorate for Science and Technology – The Directorate for Science and Technology is 

the research and development arm of DHS. In this capacity, DHS partners with the Small 

Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program to foster the participation of innovative and 

creative small businesses in continuing its search and procurement of state-of-the-art 

technology. As DHS continues its efforts to include the private business community in its 

mission of defending America, BG is a valuable resource for businesses as they seek to 

comply with federal regulations in order to qualify for opportunities with DHS. Business 

Gateway provides access to 16 forms. 

• Office of Intelligence and Analysis – Contractors developing information systems and 

protection must comply with stringent regulations due to the high-security environment in 

which they work. Business.gov provides a broad access point for companies interested in 

competing for such contracts, providing compliance tools and access to federal laws and 

regulations. 

• Coast Guard (USCG) – USCG hires businesses to work on its facilities (e.g., boats, aircraft, 

bases) and they must comply with strict Federal government regulations. Business Gateway 

provides assistance for these firms in determining the types of forms they may be required to 

complete, and includes numerous compliance links and 19 forms. 

• Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) – BG benefits ICE by providing increased 

access to information for businesses with respect to citizenship and immigration regulations 

as well as those governing importing and exporting goods cross-border 

• Secret Service – BG increases awareness of the Secret Service’s mission to provide 

information regarding violations of laws relating to counterfeiting of obligations and securities 

of the United States; financial crimes that include, but are not limited to, access device fraud, 

financial institution fraud, identity theft, computer fraud; and computer-based attacks on our 

nation’s financial, banking, and telecommunications infrastructure. This includes access to 1 

form. 

• Other Bureaus – The Office of the Inspector General, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration 

Services, the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center, Transportation Security 

Administration, U.S. VISIT, Domestic Nuclear Detection Office, Customs & Border Protection, 

National Protection & Program Directorate, and the Office of Health Affairs benefit through 

BG providing a consolidated space for these previously separate bureaus to list and 

consolidate compliance information as well as federal forms.

Government to Government Portfolio 

Disaster Management (Managing Partner DHS)

The Disaster Management (DM) initiative is supporting the adoption of the Emergency Data Exchange 

Language (EDXL) for the distribution of data and alerts through the Integrated Public Alerts and Warning 

System. DM supports the Incident Management Systems Division and the National Incident Management 

System Support Center to evaluate vendors for compliance with EDXL standards and to use DM OPEN as 

the testing backbone at the Center. The FEMA Commercial Assistance Direct Assistance Program included 

language supporting “preferential” treatment to vendors who comply with Common Alerting Protocol and 

EDXL in its grant guidance program. 

Many of DHS’ component agencies benefit directly or indirectly from the DM program. DM’s EDXL effort 

was identified as an essential project contributing to standards for information exchange and emergency 

management best practices furthering the Department’s goals to achieve interoperability. DM provides 

benefits to the program’s DHS funding partners as well as local, state, and tribal emergency responders 

by improving their ability to share information. By facilitating the development of data messaging 
78 

standards and providing access to the Disaster Management Interoperability Services (DMIS) platform, 

Open Platform for Emergency Networks (OPEN), and DisasterHelp.gov, DM supports the information 

sharing and interoperability needs of its DHS funding partners including the Transportation Security 

Administration, Operations Coordination and Intel & Analysis, the U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Citizenship and 

Immigration Services, the U.S. Secret Service, the Undersecretary for Management/Office for the 

Secretary and Executive Management, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, U.S. Immigration and 

Customs Enforcement, the National Protection and Programs Directorate, the Science and Technology 

Directorate, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency. 

Additional examples of how DM is supporting its funding partners are provided below: 

• Undersecretary for Management/Office of the Secretary and Executive Management - 

The DM program supports the Management Directorate through its participation in and support 

of the National Information Exchange Model (NIEM) which is a joint DHS/Department of Justice 

effort to improve information sharing using standards. NIEM ensures that standards developed as 

part of the DM process become available through NIEM. DM works in a public private partnership 

with a consortium of vendors that produce information sharing products. 

• U.S. Customs & Border Protection & U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement - DMIS, 

OPEN, and messaging standards are all used in support of information sharing with our neighbors 

in Canada. Canada is implementing CAP as part of its national warning system. Canada currently 

has three DMIS COGs located in Manitoba, Winnipeg, and Ontario. Roughly 410 COGs have been 

established along the U.S. border with Canada and 330 COGs on the border with Mexico. In 

preparation for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Washington state is working with the 

CAP to improve preparation in the event of an incident. 

• National Protection and Programs Directorate - DM is in discussions with NPPD to provide 

industry with access to DMIS. This will enable better information sharing among local, state, and 

federal responders and industry in the event of an emergency. 

• Science & Technology Directorate - The Biological Warning Incident Characterization (BWIC) 

System is a DHS S&T system that helps local and state health organizations characterize and 

monitor chemical or biological outbreaks. BWIC allows local health officials to track and monitor 

chemical and biological incidents using DMIS, OPEN, and CAP to share information with the 

National Labs. BWIC was deployed operationally at the last Super Bowl and Taste of Chicago. 

• Federal Emergency Management Agency - The DM program works closely with its partners 

at FEMA, supporting numerous FEMA programs such as the Disaster Assistance Improvement 

Plan (DAIP) and portal consolidation efforts. 

Grants.gov (Managing Partner HHS) 

The initiative benefits DHS by providing a single location for publishing grant (funding) opportunities and 

application packages and a single location for the grants community to locate and apply for grants using 

common forms, processes, and systems. All information needed to find opportunities for competitive 

grant opportunities is available using Grants.gov Find and Apply. By using Grants.gov, applicants are 

realizing savings because they are no longer required to submit multiple application copies to one or 

more addresses. The following DHS awarding offices benefit from Grants.gov announcement and 

applications posting: Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Transportation Security Administration, 

Federal Emergency Management Agency, National Protection and Program Directorate, Operations 

Coordination & Intel & Analysis, Science and Technology Directorate, United States Coast Guard, and 

United States Secret Service, etc. 

By using the Grants.gov mechanism to post and receive applications in a unified fashion, DHS was able to 

receive and review applications for funding through a single interface. The common application forms and 

process allowed DHS to develop a common standardized database from which both program reports and 

Department-wide reports are provided. DHS programs use standard DHS forms. Grants.gov is allowing 

DHS to realize greater efficiencies by eliminating the need to: 1) manually log the receipt of applications 
79 

and 2) reconcile applications sent by applicant to DHS headquarters and various field offices. Additional 

benefits are realized through the access to the same application immediately after each application 

deadline by all DHS offices both in the field and Headquarters. Elimination of manual data entry is 

eliminating errors in the data and is reducing the processing time of applications by approximately two 

weeks. 

As of September 2008 DHS had posted approximately seventy-two funding opportunities and eighty-three 

application packages on Grants.gov. DHS has received approximately 1,632 competitive funding 

applications in FY 2008. 

SAFECOM (Managing Partner DHS) 

To address the most urgent interoperability needs, SAFECOM is supporting key national initiatives of DHS. 

For OEC, SAFECOM supported the development of the National Emergency Communications Plan (NECP), 

by ensuring the plan incorporated the input of and was validated by emergency response practitioners 

across all levels of government. The NECP is the nation’s first strategic plan to improve emergency 

response communications, and complements overarching homeland security and emergency 

communications legislation, strategies, and initiatives. SAFECOM also continues to support States and 

territories in the development and implementation of Statewide Communications Interoperability Plans 

(SCIP). As a result of SAFECOM guidance and support, April 18, 2008 represented the first time that all 

56 states and territories developed strategic plans for improving interoperability statewide. For OIC, 

SAFECOM is supporting the acceleration of critical interoperability standards and the identification of both 

short- and long-term solutions to legacy interoperability problems. Project 25 (P25) is focused on 

developing standards that allow radios and other components to interoperate regardless of 

manufacturer—enabling emergency responders to exchange critical communications. A P25 Compliance 

Assessment Program was also established to ensure that equipment complies with P25 standards and is 

capable of interoperating regardless of manufacturer. 

Internal Efficiency and Effectiveness Portfolio 

Integrated Acquisition Environment - Loans and Grants (Managing Partner GSA) 

All agencies participating in the posting and/or awarding of Loans & Grants are required by the Federal 

Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA) to disclose award information on a publicly 

accessible website. Cross-government cooperation with OMB’s Integrated Acquisition Environment 

initiative allows agencies and contributing bureaus (including the Immigration and Customs Enforcement, 

Transportation Security Administration, Federal Emergency Management Agency, National Protection and 

Program Directorate, Operations Coordination & Intel & Analysis, Science and Technology Directorate, 

United States Coast Guard, and United States Secret Service at DHS) to meet the requirements of the 

FFATA by assigning a unique identifier, determining corporate hierarchy, and validating and cleaning up 

incorrect or incomplete data. The FFATA enhances transparency of federal program performance 

information, funding, and loans & grants solicitation. 

Lines of Business 

Budget Formulation and Execution LoB (Managing Partner ED) 

BFE LoB provides significant benefits to partner agencies by encouraging best practices across all aspects 

of federal budgeting – from budget formulation and execution to performance to collaboration to human 

capital needs. 

To benefit all agencies, including DHS, BFE LoB continues to support Department of Treasury as the 

system owner in the advancement of the Budget Formulation and Execution Manager (BFEM), the first 

shared fee-for-service budget formulation system. With support from BFE LoB, Treasury/BFEM made 

available a new Performance Measure Manager (PMM) module in early 2008. This module allows users to 
80 

automate the definition, collection, and reporting of all types of performance measures. In 2009, 

Treasury/BFEM plans to integrate PMM with OMB’s Program Assessment Rating Tool system and begin 

work on automating the transfer of apportionment data from BFEM to OMB's MAX system. 

DHS and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) purchased BFEM for their budget formulation 

process resulting in greater ease in collection of budget data and production of budget submissions. They 

avoided the costs of procuring and setting up a custom system by participating in a shared service 

system sponsored by BFE LoB. The BFEM budget formulation system services DHS and ICE; and it, along 

with the PMM module, continues as an option for all DHS components (including Customs and Border 

Protection; Federal Law Enforcement Training Center; Transportation Security Administration; Federal 

Emergency Management Agency; National Protection and Program Directorate; Office of Health Affairs; 

Operations Coordination & Intel & Analysis; Office of Inspector General; Directorate for Science and 

Technology; Domestic Nuclear Detection Office; United States Coast Guard; United States Citizenship and 

Immigration Services; United States Secret Service; and US Visit). 

To help agencies assess their budget systems requirements, BFE LoB created a decision matrix and 

recently evaluated nine budget systems against the matrix. This evaluation is available for all agencies to 

use and provides cost savings to agencies by eliminating the need for agencies to review this many 

systems individually. For other components, DHS may benefit from using this matrix as a starting point in 

determining specific system needs and determining a short list of the available systems to best meet its 

requirements. DHS and ICE may benefit from using this matrix in working with Treasury/BFEM to ensure 

that BFEM can meet the full range of customer needs. In 2009, BFE LoB will research the possibilities for 

additional fee-for-service budget systems. As an early adopter of a fee-for-service budget system, DHS 

and ICE will provide valuable input into this process. 

BFE LoB’s “MAX Federal Community,” a secure government-only collaborative website, provides 

significant benefits for collaboration across and within agencies, as well as knowledge management. It is 

used within the budget community, as well as other related communities such as Grants, Financial 

Management, Performance, E-Government, and more. DHS currently has 629 users registered for the 

MAX Federal Community. The MAX Community site is commonly used for sharing information, 

collaboratively drafting documents (including the direct-editing of documents posted on the site), 

supporting workgroups, submitting central reports, and much more. DHS also has the option to use BFE 

LoB’s online meeting tool for DHS budget meetings. Enhancements to both tools will continue in 2009 as 

these technologies advance. 

DHS may choose to use BFE LoB’s "Touchpoints" document and budget execution process maps to 

improve its own agency interactions between budget execution and financial management. BFE LoB will 

continue to work toward more automated data exchange to improve data quality in these areas. 

BFE LoB’s Human Capital Federal Budget Core Competency Framework is a resource for DHS to use in its 

internal workforce planning initiatives. BFE LoB plans to continue to expand this framework in 2009. 

Financial Management LoB (Managing Partner GSA)

DHS and component bureaus (including Customs and Border Protection, Federal Law Enforcement 

Training Center, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Transportation Security Administration, Federal 

Emergency Management Agency, National Protection and Program Directorate, Office of Health Affairs, 

Operations Coordination & Intel & Analysis, Office of Inspector General, Directorate for Science and 

Technology, Domestic Nuclear Detection Office, United States Coast Guard, United States Citizenship and 

Immigration Services, United States Secret Service, and US Visit) will realize the following benefits 

through participation in FM LoB and usage of a FM Shared Service Provider (SSP): 
81 

• Cost Savings; 

• Minimizing Risk: SSP customers will be able to minimize risk by implementing and using financial 

systems that are already operating with standard operating procedures; 

• Avoiding Duplicate Operational Costs: Reducing redundant costs by using standard business 

processes and a common system software certified by the Financial System Integration Office in 

the General Services Administration; and 

• Facilitating Best Practices/Standardization: Key tools such as a Request for Proposal framework 

and Service Level Agreement guides will be provided to DHS to help in the development of 

agency agreements with SSPs. 

Geospatial LoB (Managing Partner DoI) 

DHS recognizes the potential value that the Geospatial LoB will provide to users and producers of 

geospatial information. Cooperative and coordinated efforts among federal agencies can result in 

considerable cost savings for development of geospatial data. This is evidenced by a leveraged imagery 

cost sharing arrangement among DHS, U.S. Geological Survey, and the National Geospatial-Intelligence 

Agency at the Department of Defense, which resulted in a large volume of new high-resolution imagery 

and a 16:1 Return on Investment on the DHS portion of the investment. 

DHS foresees additional benefits in the future as the agency migrates toward service-oriented 

architecture. Components within DHS (including Customs and Border Protection, Federal Law 

Enforcement Training Center, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Transportation Security 

Administration, National Protection and Program Directorate, Office of Health Affairs, Office of Operations 

Coordination & Intel & Analysis, Office of Inspector General, Directorate of Science and Technology, 

Domestic Nuclear Detection Office, United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, United States 

Secret Service, and US Visit) will take advantage of a common geospatial foundation that is built using 

the National Spatial Data Infrastructure and A-16 data layers. DHS will have the ability to share mission 

specific information with other federal agencies to enhance routine operations as well as critical 

geospatial information during emergencies, especially the U.S. Coast Guard and the Federal Emergency 

Management Agency (FEMA). 

Grants Management LoB (Managing Partners HHS and NSF) 

DHS anticipates benefit for its Directorates (including Immigration and Customs Enforcement, 

Transportation Security Administration, Federal Emergency Management Agency, National Protection and 

Program Directorate, Office of Operations Coordination & Intel and Analysis, Directorate for Science and 

Technology, United States Coast Guard, and United States Secret Service) through a centralized location 

to download applications, make awards, and track awards to closeout. Automated business processes 

available through a DHS electronic grant management system service provider will decrease agency 

reliance on manual and paper-based processing. DHS agencies will spread operations and maintenance 

costs, and development, modernization, and enhancement costs across agencies, decreasing the burden 

that any one DHS component must bear. This will lead to a reduction in the number of systems for grants 

data across DHS, provide common grant management processing and reporting standards and improve 

DHS’ ability to generate government-wide reports. 

It is anticipated that states, local and tribal governments, non-profit organizations and commercial 

entities will benefit from the standardization and streamlining the DHS-wide grants business processes. 

The public will receive time savings as a result of quicker notification and faster payments due to an 

automated system for grants processing. Furthermore, minimization of complex and varying agencyspecific requirements and increase grantee ease of use on federal grants management systems. 

Constituents will benefit as they will have fewer unique agency systems and processes to learn; grantees’ 

ability to learn how to use the system will be improved and reliance on call center technical support will 

be reduced. 
82 

Human Resources Management LoB (Managing Partner OPM) 

DHS and participating bureaus (including Customs and Border Protection, Federal Law Enforcement 

Training Center, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Transportation Security Administration, Federal 

Emergency Management Agency, National Protection and Program Directorate, Office of Health Affairs, 

Office of Operations Coordination & Intel & Analysis, Office of Inspector General, Directorate for Science 

and Technology, Domestic Nuclear Detection Office, United States Coast Guard, United States Citizenship 

and Immigration Services, United States Secret Service, and US Visit) benefit from the HR LoB initiative 

by consolidating the systems supporting its components for better economies of scale and lower 

operational costs. DHS has eliminated multiple systems through its use of one of the approved service 

providers, the Department of Agriculture’s National Finance Center. Through adoption of an approved 

service provider, DHS can better leverage centralized HR solutions without the costs of developing and 

maintaining its own HR systems. DHS’ involvement in HR LoB allows the agency to utilize governmentwide HR solutions, as well as access lessons learned and best practices developed by the task force and 

other agencies. 

Information Systems Security LoB (Managing Partner DHS) 

As the managing agency for the initiative, DHS established and assesses performance goals to monitor 

agency utilization and adoption of initiative services. Additionally, the initiative coordinates a number of 

interagency groups to help analyze cyber security problems and identify solutions. 

DHS is executing the ISS LoB on behalf of OMB, and is the sole funding agency for the initiative. 

DHS and the National Protection and Program Directorate may recognize the same benefits as other 

federal agencies related to cost reduction, improved information security program performance, and 

increased efficiency going forward. Training and reporting services provided by the initiative helps DHS 

avoid duplicative investment in common security tools, ensure a baseline level of training and reporting 

performance, and refocus efforts to other complex and critical security issues at its agency. 

The initiative also identified additional security services and tools, such as vulnerability assessment, 

network mapping and discovery, and baseline configuration management tools. These tools can help DHS 

develop an accurate inventory of information resources managed internally, and maintain an up-to-date 

awareness of information security threats. The initiative is now establishing mechanisms to help DHS 

quickly acquire these tools in a cost-effective manner.

Department of Housing and Urban Development 

The E-Government initiatives serve citizens, businesses, and Federal and state government employees by 

delivering high quality services more efficiently at a lower price. Instead of expensive “stove-piped” 

operations, agencies work together to develop common solutions which achieve mission requirements at 

reduced cost, thereby making resources available for higher priority needs. 

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is providing funding in FY 

2009 to the following E-Government Initiatives:

Government to Citizen Portfolio 

Disaster Assistance Improvement Plan (Managing Partner DHS) 

The Disaster Assistance Improvement Plan (DAIP) is a government-wide effort to improve the delivery of 

disaster assistance all across the Federal government. The initiative includes member agencies which 

have active disaster assistance programs as well as those which do not. While some partner agencies are 

affected less than others in times of a disaster, all are affected in some way. 

HUD was identified by DAIP as providing assistance that is valuable to disaster victims. HUD supports 

non-disaster assistance programs and services which reach disaster victims who may be displaced or are 

otherwise out of contact. Participation in DAIP helps to reduce the burden on other federal agencies 

which routinely provide logistical help and other critical management or organizational support during 

disasters. 

In its first year of operation, the DAIP team identified the following Forms of Assistance (FOA) within the 

Department of Housing & Urban Development: 

• Category 3 – Forms of assistance not inherently disaster-related, administered at the federal, 

state or local level: 

o Housing Choice Voucher program (Section 8) (Public and Indian Housing) 

o Public Housing Program (Public and Indian Housing) 

• Category 4 – Agencies that can leverage data collected from disaster victims or can provide 

additional data/validations: 

o Disaster Housing Assistance Program (DHS/FEMA and HUD/Public and Indian Housing) 
84 

• Category 5 – Forms of assistance providing information and agency resources that may be of 

interest to disaster victims: 

o Section 203k Rehabilitation Mortgage (Federal Housing Administration) 

o Section 203k Insured Mortgage for Disaster Victims (Federal Housing Administration) 

An independent FOA Validation Study is currently underway for HUD to ensure a consistent, replicable 

process for the establishment of a baseline as well as assessing all agency FOAs for inclusion in DAIP. 

Government to Business Portfolio 

Business Gateway (Managing Partner SBA)

By creating a single portal for business information, such as regulatory compliance information, Business 

Gateway directly benefits HUD’s stakeholders, including builders, buyers, and lenders - all of whom are 

subject to complex regulatory requirements across multiple agencies. 

HUD’s stakeholders can potentially receive significant benefits from Business Gateway. These benefits are 

outlined below. Through increased outreach, more constituents will be able to realize these benefits. 

• Cost and time savings: Businesses looking for HUD compliance regulations can save time and 

money by going to Business.gov. In FY 2008, 74 percent of Business.gov users who 

responded to the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) survey reported saving time 

at an average of nearly 10 hours per user, totaling 3,960,269 hours; 55 percent of survey 

respondents also reported saving money at an average of $753 per user.

• Maintenance savings: Business.gov’s search technology will provide HUD with valuable user 

statistics and feedback, enabling it to simplify content management on its business 

compliance site.

• Increased forms management: By making 362 forms available on the Forms.gov website, 

HUD saves agency time in forms management, and is expected to produce significant savings 

in paper and postage. HUD forms were accessed via Forms.gov 230,038 times in FY 2008.

• Increased exposure: Business.gov houses numerous HUD compliance links providing crossagency effectiveness to American businesses; in FY 2008 Business.gov directed 1,460 visits 

to HUD sites. 

• Regulatory compliance: The Business.gov website enables HUD to comply with the reporting 

requirement for the Small Business Paperwork Relief Act (SBPRA) and is also consistent with 

the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (SBREFA), which called on 

federal regulatory agencies to publish small business guides that assist small firms in 

complying with, and answer small businesses’ inquiries about federal regulations.

Government to Government Portfolio 

Grants.gov (Managing Partner HHS)

The initiative benefits HUD by providing a single location for publishing grant (funding) opportunities and 

application packages and a single location for the grants community to locate and apply for grants using 

common forms, processes, and systems. All information needed to find opportunities for competitive 

grant opportunities is available using Grants.gov Find and Apply. By using Grants.gov, applicants are 

realizing savings because they are no longer required to submit multiple application copies to one or 

more addresses. 

By using the Grants.gov mechanism to post and receive applications in a unified fashion, HUD was able 

to receive and review applications for funding through a single interface. The common application forms 

and process allowed HUD to develop a common standardized database from which both program reports 

and Department-wide reports are provided. HUD programs use standard HUD forms and the SF-424 and 
85 

SF-424 Supplement (Survey on Ensuring Equal Opportunity for Applicants) and HUD has leveraged 

Grants.gov to develop 11 agency specific forms. Grants.gov is allowing HUD to realize greater efficiencies 

by eliminating the need to: 1) manually log the receipt of applications and 2) reconcile applications sent 

by applicant to HUD headquarters and various field offices. Additional benefits are realized through the 

access to the same application immediately after each application deadline by all HUD offices both in the 

field and Headquarters. Elimination of manual data entry is eliminating errors in the data and is reducing 

the processing time of applications by approximately two weeks. 

As of September 2008 HUD had posted 40 funding opportunities and 40 application packages on 

Grants.gov. HUD has received approximately 5,950 competitive funding applications in FY 2008.

Integrated Acquisition Environment - Loans and Grants (Managing Partner GSA) 

All agencies participating in the posting and/or awarding of Loans & Grants are required by the Federal 

Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA) to disclose award information on a publicly 

accessible website. Cross-government cooperation with OMB’s Integrated Acquisition Environment 

initiative allows agencies to meet the requirements of the FFATA by assigning a unique identifier, 

determining corporate hierarchy, and validating and cleaning up incorrect or incomplete data. The FFATA 

enhances transparency of federal program performance information, funding, and loans & grants 

solicitation. 

Lines of Business 

Budget Formulation and Execution LoB (Managing Partner ED) 

BFE LoB provides significant benefits to partner agencies by encouraging best practices across all aspects 

of federal budgeting – from budget formulation and execution to performance to collaboration to human 

capital needs. 

To benefit all agencies, including HUD, BFE LoB continues to support Department of Treasury as the 

system owner in the advancement of the Budget Formulation and Execution Manager (BFEM), the first 

shared fee-for-service budget formulation system. With support from BFE LoB, Treasury/BFEM made 

available a new Performance Measure Manager (PMM) module in early 2008. This module allows users to 

automate the definition, collection, and reporting of all types of performance measures. The BFEM system 

is an option for HUD and any HUD component that is in need of a budget formulation or performance 

measurement system. In 2009, Treasury/BFEM plans to integrate PMM with OMB’s Program Assessment 

Rating Tool system and begin work on automating the transfer of apportionment data from BFEM to 

OMB's MAX system. 

To help agencies assess their budget systems requirements, BFE LoB created a decision matrix and 

recently evaluated nine budget systems against the matrix. This evaluation is available for all agencies to 

use and provides cost savings to agencies by eliminating the need for agencies to review this many 

systems individually. HUD may benefit from using this matrix as a starting point in determining specific 

system needs and determining a short list of the available systems to best meet its requirements. In 

2009, BFE LoB will research the possibilities for additional fee-for-service budget systems. 

BFE LoB’s “MAX Federal Community,” a secure government-only collaborative website, provides 

significant benefits for collaboration across and within agencies, as well as knowledge management. It is 

used within the budget community, as well as other related communities such as Grants, Financial 

Management, Performance, E-Government, and more. HUD currently has 237 users registered for the 

MAX Federal Community. The MAX Community site is commonly used for sharing information, 

collaboratively drafting documents (including the direct-editing of documents posted on the site), 

supporting workgroups, submitting central reports, and much more. HUD also has the option to use BFE 
86 

LoB’s online meeting tool for HUD budget meetings. Enhancements to both tools will continue in 2009 as 

these technologies advance. 

HUD may choose to use BFE LoB’s "Touchpoints" document and budget execution process maps to 

improve its own agency interactions between budget execution and financial management. BFE LoB will 

continue to work toward more automated data exchange to improve data quality in these areas. 

BFE LoB’s Human Capital Federal Budget Core Competency Framework is a resource for HUD to use in its 

internal workforce planning initiatives. BFE LoB plans to continue to expand this framework in 2009. 

Financial Management LoB (Managing Partner GSA) 

HUD will realize the following benefits through participation in FM LoB and usage of a FM Shared Service 

Provider (SSP): 

• Cost Savings; 

• Minimizing Risk: SSP customers will be able to minimize risk by implementing and using financial 

systems that are already operating with standard operating procedures; 

• Avoiding Duplicate Operational Costs: Reducing redundant costs by using standard business 

processes and a common system software certified by the Financial System Integration Office in 

the General Services Administration; and 

• Facilitating Best Practices/Standardization: Key tools such as a Request for Proposal framework 

and Service Level Agreement guides will be provided to HUD to help in the development of 

agency agreements with SSPs. 

Geospatial LoB (Managing Partner DoI) 

HUD is looking forward to the returns on investments from the Geospatial LoB with regards to greater 

efficiency and synergy across government. Geospatial data and information are critical components for 

meeting HUD’s mission to increase homeownership, support community development and increase access 

to affordable housing free from discrimination. Geospatial LoB proposes to more effectively standardize 

business processes and enhance access to geospatial data and information. This promises to improve 

productivity, mission delivery, and services to citizens. HUD currently geospatially enables its traditional 

business data to improve business process efficiency, allowing for geographically based planning and 

execution of its mission objectives. The LoB can improve HUD’s business processes by enabling easier 

access to and sharing of relevant spatial data sets and capabilities across government. 

Grants Management LoB (Managing Partners HHS and NSF) 

GM LoB initiative has resulted in HUD undertaking a strategic alignment of its existing systems, 

prioritizing best of breed technology, and enhancing HUD’s ability to provide agency and governmentwide reports on grant activities and results. HUD’s participation on GM LoB’s collaborative effort across 

federal agencies is ensuring departmental compliance with the Federal Financial Assistance Management 

Improvement Act of 1999 and the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006. 

GM LoB has enabled HUD to improve service through the standardization and streamlining of 

government-wide grants business processes, which includes Awards and Deficiency Letters; funds 

disbursement through financial systems; and improved coordination between Head Offices and Field 

Offices for award and post-award activities. The streamlining effort allows the public to receive time 

savings as a result of quicker notification and faster payments due to an automated system for grants 

processing. Furthermore, HUD’s strategic alignment effort minimizes complex and varying agency-specific 

requirements and increases grantee use of federal grants management systems. Constituents will benefit 

as they will have fewer unique agency systems to learn; grantees’ ability to learn how to use the system 

will be improved and reliance on call center technical support will be reduced. These efforts also provide 
87 

grantees with online access to standard post-award reports, decreasing the number of unique - reporting 

requirements. 

Human Resources Management LoB (Managing Partner OPM) 

HUD benefits through its use of best-in-class HR and Payroll systems and services provided by approved 

service providers, Department of Treasury’s HR Connect and Department of Agriculture's National 

Finance Center (NFC). Through its adoption of these approved service provider, HUD was able to 

implement automated HR and Payroll systems that eliminated manual processes and avoided 

development costs. Both service providers have delivered solutions that have allowed for data 

consolidation, Web-based processing, increased data security, and unprecedented access by employees 

to their information. With HR Connect, HUD has specifically identified cost avoidance and economy-ofscale savings of over $10.7 million and has retired 8 legacy systems. Through the technical innovations 

made available through NFC, HUD was able to implement webTA in FY 2008, a Web-based time and 

attendance solution that has eliminated paper-based processes and redundant data entry. HUD’s 

involvement in HR LoB allows the agency to utilize government-wide HR solutions, as well as access 

lessons learned and best practices developed by the task force and other agencies.

Department of the Interior 

The E-Government initiatives serve citizens, businesses, and Federal and state government employees by 

delivering high quality services more efficiently at a lower price. Instead of expensive “stove-piped” 

operations, agencies work together to develop common solutions which achieve mission requirements at 

reduced cost, thereby making resources available for higher priority needs.

Disaster Assistance Improvement Plan (Managing Partner DHS) 

The Disaster Assistance Improvement Plan (DAIP) is a government-wide effort to improve the delivery of 

disaster assistance all across the Federal government. The initiative includes member agencies which 

have active disaster assistance programs as well as those which do not. While some partner agencies are 

affected less than others in times of a disaster, all are affected in some way. 

DoI was identified by DAIP as providing assistance that is valuable to disaster victims. It supports nondisaster assistance programs and services which reach disaster victims who may be displaced or are 

otherwise out of contact. Participation in DAIP helps to reduce the burden on other federal agencies 

which routinely provide logistical help and other critical management or organizational support during 

disasters. 

In its first year of operation, the DAIP team identified the following Form of Assistance (FOA) within the 

Department of the Interior: 

• Category 5 – Forms of assistance providing information and agency resources that may be of 

interest to disaster victims: 

o Indian Social Services Welfare Assistance (Bureau of Indian Affairs) 

Recreation One-Stop (Managing Partner DoI) 

The National Park Service (NPS), Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), 

and Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) at DoI provide information related to recreational activities in U.S. 

national parks, wildlife refuges, lakes, and public lands on the Recreation One-Stop portal. In return, the 

Recreation One-Stop initiative saves NPS, BLM, FWS and BOR time and resources by offering citizens 
89 

looking to utilize recreational services a central place to search and obtain site descriptions, recreation 

activities, directions, and links to more-detailed information about specific locations. 

Government to Business Portfolio 

Business Gateway (Managing Partner SBA) 

By creating a single portal for business information, such as regulatory compliance information, Business 

Gateway directly benefits DoI’s stakeholders, including energy companies, wildlife importers/exporters, 

fisheries, and mining companies - all of whom are subject to complex regulatory requirements across 

multiple agencies. 

DoI’s stakeholders can potentially receive significant benefits from Business Gateway. These benefits are 

outlined below. Through increased outreach, more constituents will be able to realize these benefits. 

• Contact center savings: Due to the use of Business.gov and Forms.gov a decrease in 

misdirected calls is expected resulting in cost savings for DoI. 

• Maintenance savings: Business.gov’s search technology will provide DoI with valuable user 

statistics and feedback, enabling it to simplify content management on its business 

compliance site. 

• Cost and time savings: Businesses looking for DoI compliance regulations can save time and 

money by going to Business.gov. In FY 2008, 74 percent of Business.gov users who 

responded to the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) survey reported saving time 

at an average of nearly 10 hours per user, totaling 3,960,269 hours; 55 percent of survey 

respondents also reported saving money at an average of $753 per user.

• Increased forms management: By making 335 forms available on Forms.gov, DoI saves 

agency time in forms management, and is expected to produce significant savings in paper 

and postage. DoI forms were accessed via Forms.gov 155,208 times in FY 2008. 

• Increased exposure: Business.gov houses numerous compliance DoI links providing crossagency effectiveness to American businesses. In FY 2008, Business.gov directed 99 visits to 

DoI sites. 

• Reduced burden on field offices: By directing compliance-related inquiries to Business.gov, 

agencies with field offices will save training and staff-time dollars.

• Regulatory compliance: The Business.gov website enables DoI to comply with the reporting 

requirement for the Small Business Paperwork Relief Act (SBPRA) and is also consistent with 

the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (SBREFA), which called on 

federal regulatory agencies to publish small business guides that assist small firms in 

complying with, and answer small businesses’ inquiries about federal regulations.

• Data harmonization savings: DoI has already realized significant benefit from Business 

Gateway by participating in the program’s first data harmonization “vertical”: The Single 

Surface Coal Reporting system. DoI and DoL together estimate saving $341,000 in the first 

three years of their vertical, and are expected to save $570,000 over 5 years. 

Government to Government Portfolio 

Geospatial One-Stop (Managing Partner DoI)

DoI is a major federal producer/distributor of geospatial data and services and thus serves as a 

significant metadata contributor to Geospatial One-Stop (GOS). DoI enables other federal agencies to 

both avoid costs and realize cost savings by making DoI geospatial data available through the GOS 

Portal. GOS also allows citizens and the geospatial community to find and explore thousands of vital 

geospatial datasets existing in government databases throughout the country. In addition, DoI helps 

enhance overall Federal Spatial Readiness by making its large repository of current and historical data 

discoverable and accessible through the GOS Portal. 
90 

Through the use of GOS, bureaus at DoI including the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) are able to 

effectively implement and leverage geospatial data. Examples include: 

• The National Map program at USGS continues to work with GOS to better leverage shared 

technical capabilities and data partnership processes that will enhance the discovery of data 

and its use for the building of nationally consistent, seamless and continuously maintained 

base geospatial information. 

• GOS, as the Nation’s largest collection of references to intergovernmental and 

interdisciplinary geospatial data, will provide a primary source of geographic content to 

support the research and information sharing goals of the USGS Science Strategy for the next 

decade. 

• DoI’s Enterprise Geographic Information Management (EGIM) consortium has implemented 

the requirement for Bureaus to list all geospatial data acquisitions in the GOS Marketplace; 

established a requirement that DoI geospatial infrastructure must leverage GOS for sharing 

of DoI geospatial data; and established a plan for 2008, in its Geospatial Modernization 

Blueprint, to have GOS reflect designation of Authoritative Data Source for selected/ 

accredited datasets within DoI. In 2008, EGIM will establish new services and Geographically 

Encoded Objects for RSS (GeoRSS) feeds that will be featured in GOS. 

Before the GOS catalog was available, numerous data requests needed to be handled by USGS and 

others, and were reliant on the responders’ knowledge of availability of digital mapping data in various 

parts of the country. Because of GOS, the user community is now able to more quickly research and 

discover the information without spending time sending verbal or electronic queries and waiting for a 

reply. The public frequently requests maps and other geospatial data from DoI, particularly during 

emergency response situations, so using the best available data is crucial and can actually be used to 

save lives. The portal provides an integrated environment to coordinate (and focus) these requests, 

making the agency's response more efficient. 

GOS has the potential to reduce the cost of supporting such data requests. DoI realizes cost savings by 

providing users an automated search tool instead of DoI processing individual requests for data.

Grants.gov (Managing Partner HHS) 

The Grants.gov initiative benefits DoI and its grant programs by providing a single location to publish 

grant (funding) opportunities and application packages, and by providing potential grantees the means to 

electronically apply for grants. 

As of September 2008, DoI had posted 465 funding opportunities and 458 application packages on 

Grants.gov. DoI received 2,537 electronic applications from the grants community via Grants.gov in FY 

2008. 

Internal Efficiency and Effectiveness Portfolio 

E-Gov Travel (Managing Partner GSA)

DoI began migrating its travel services to Northrop Grumman Mission Systems, one of the three 

designated E-Gov Travel Service (ETS) providers, in Q2 FY 2008. DoI is realizing the following benefits: 

• Increased cost savings associated with overall reduction in Travel Management Center 

transaction service fees; 

• Improved strategic source pricing through cross-government purchasing agreements; 

• Improved business process functionality as a result of streamlined travel policies and processes; 

• Enhanced security and privacy controls for the protection of government and personal data; and 

• Improved agency oversight and audit capabilities. 
91 

Through a combination of advantageous travel management center pricing and a substantially higher 

degree of online booking engine usage (88 percent), DOI saved over $438,000 in travel management 

service fees for reservations in FY 2008 when compared to pre-ETS pricing and online usage. DOI is 

achieving significant savings in airline ticket prices by leveraging the City Pair Program (CPP) fares along 

with assuming some risk by purchasing reduced price tickets that include change penalties. Combined, 

DOI can potentially save over $8,000,000 each year by purchasing tickets below the CPP fare. 

Integrated Acquisition Environment - Loans and Grants (Managing Partner GSA) - 

All agencies participating in the posting and/or awarding of Loans & Grants are required by the Federal 

Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA) to disclose award information on a publicly 

accessible website. Cross-government cooperation with OMB’s Integrated Acquisition Environment 

initiative allows agencies to meet the requirements of the FFATA by assigning a unique identifier,

BFE LoB’s Human Capital Federal Budget Core Competency Framework is a resource for DoI to use in its 

internal workforce planning initiatives. BFE LoB plans to continue to expand this framework in 2009. 

Financial Management LoB (Managing Partner GSA) 

FM LoB enables DoI to leverage its information technology and financial processing expertise to provide 

services to additional federal agencies. DoI’s National Business Center hosts financial systems and 

business operations for over 20 external executive branch agencies, boards, and commissions, and two 

legislative branch agencies. As DoI’s customer base continues to grow, the agency can create economies 

of scale and use the growth to gain leverage with the financial management software vendor community. 

DoI will be able to contribute to the cost savings that will be recognized through the reduction of 

redundant costs. This is the result of using standard business processes and a common system 

configuration promoted by FM LoB. 

Geospatial LoB (Managing Partner DoI) 

DoI provides stewardship of 18 data themes as listed in OMB Circular A-16. The U.S. Geological Survey 

manages many of the base cartographic layers; U.S. Fish and Wildlife manages wetlands; National Park 

Service manages cultural resources; and the Bureau of Land Management is responsible for federal land 

status, cadastral, and public land conveyance. All of these data themes are used by the public and many 

other federal agencies. Geospatial LoB recommends a set of common government-wide solutions that 

serve the Nation's interests, and the core missions of federal agencies and their partners, through more 

effective and efficient development, provisioning, and interoperability of geospatial data and services. 

Building on the policy foundation of OMB Circular A-16, Coordination of Geographic Information and 

Related Spatial Data Activities, Geospatial LoB will close a performance gap by developing a federal 

operational framework for managing geospatial information across the government. This federal 

operational framework will result in a more coordinated, collaborative, and leveraged approach to 

produce, maintain, and use geospatial data and services. The framework will also establish a system of 

accountability for all data stewards in the federal geospatial environment. Future cost savings, and 

greater satisfaction of customer and business needs will be realized by optimizing, and where 

appropriate, consolidating geospatial assets and activities through enhanced performance accountability 

and compliance mechanisms and coordinated budget planning and cost avoidance strategies. 

Grants Management LoB (Managing Partners HHS and NSF) 

DoI awarded over $3 billion dollars in grants and cooperative agreements in FY 2008. Over 18,500 

financial assistance actions were completed in FY 2008 by DoI offices. Eight DoI bureaus and two 

Departmental Offices award and administer grants and cooperative agreements. Examples of DoI 

financial assistance recipients include state and local governments, universities and educational 

institutions, Native Americans and tribal governments, for profit organizations, and non-profit 

organizations. 

The Grants Management Line of Business (GM LoB) initiative can benefit DoI by improving the delivery of 

services to grant recipients, improving decision-making, and decreasing costs associated with building 

and maintaining Grants Management IT systems. By sharing streamlined automated services, DoI’s costs 

to build and maintain grants management systems decrease. DoI uses one grants management system, 

eGrants Plus, a part of the Financial and Business Management System. The specific costs benefits of 

migration to the GM LoB cannot be determined at this time due to the migration of multiple Bureaus and 

Offices into one financial assistance system. 
93 

The key benefit of the GM LoB will be having a centralized location to download all applications, make 

awards, and track awards to closeout. Automated business processes available through the initiative will 

decrease agency reliance on manual and paper-based processing. Consortium lead agencies will be able 

to spread operations and maintenance (O&M) costs, and development, modernization, and enhancement 

(DME) costs across agencies, decreasing the burden that any one agency must bear. GM LoB will lead to 

a reduction in the number of systems of record for grants data across the government and the 

development of common reporting standards, improving agencies' ability to provide agency- and 

government-wide reports on grant activities and results. GM LoB also assists agencies in complying with 

the Federal Financial Assistance Management Improvement Act of 1999 and the Federal Funding 

Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006. 

Service to constituents will be improved through the standardization and streamlining of governmentwide grants business processes. The public will receive time savings as a result of quicker notification and 

faster payments due to an automated system for grants processing. Furthermore, GM LoB will reduce 

complex and varying agency-specific requirements and increase grantee ease of use on federal grants 

management systems. Constituents will benefit as they will have fewer unique agency systems and 

processes to learn; grantees' ability to learn how to use the system will be improved; and, reliance on call 

center technical support will be reduced. Consortium lead agencies will also provide grantees with online 

access to standard post-award reports, decreasing the number of unique agency-specific reporting 

requirements. 

Human Resources Management LoB (Managing Partner OPM) 

DoI operates the National Business Center, one of the approved service providers for HR LoB. The HR 

LoB initiative allows DoI to spread the cost of managing HR systems and processes across a larger 

customer base, reducing agency costs to operate these systems and processes. Employees across DoI 

can benefit from improved HR services. Additionally, DoI’s involvement in HR LoB allows the agency to 

utilize government-wide HR solutions, as well as access lessons learned and best practices developed by 

the task force and other agencies.

Disaster Assistance Improvement Plan (Managing Partner DHS) 

The Disaster Assistance Improvement Plan (DAIP) is a government-wide effort to improve the delivery of 

disaster assistance all across the Federal government. The initiative includes member agencies which 

have active disaster assistance programs as well as those which do not. While some partner agencies are 

affected less than others in times of a disaster, all are affected in some way. 

DoJ was identified by DAIP as providing assistance that is valuable to disaster victims. It supports nondisaster assistance programs and services which reach disaster victims who may be displaced or are 

otherwise out of contact. Participation in DAIP helps to reduce the burden on other federal agencies 

which routinely provide logistical help and other critical management or organizational support during 

disasters. 

In its first year of operation, the DAIP team identified the following Forms of Assistance (FOA) within 

DoJ: 

• Category 3 – Forms of assistance not inherently disaster-related, administered at the federal, 

state or local level: 

o Public Safety Officers’ Benefit Program (Bureau of Justice Assistance Programs) 

• Category 5 – Forms of assistance providing information and agency resources that may be of 

interest to disaster victims: 

o International Terrorism Victims Expense Reimbursements (Office for the Victims of 

Crime) 

o State Crime Victims Compensation (Office for the Victims of Crime) 
95 

An independent FOA Validation Study is currently underway for DoJ to ensure a consistent, replicable 

process for the establishment of a baseline as well as assessing all agency FOAs for inclusion in DAIP. 

Participating in DAIP helps DoJ and component bureaus (including the United States Parole Commission; 

Legal Activities and U.S. Marshals; National Security Division; Interagency Law Enforcement; Federal 

Bureau of Investigation; Drug Enforcement Administration; Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and 

Explosives; Federal Prison System; and the Violent Crime Reduction Trust Fund) comply with Executive 

Order 13411, which mandates that disaster victims have prompt and efficient access to federal disaster 

assistance, as well as information regarding assistance available from government and private sector 

sources. 

Government to Business Portfolio 

Business Gateway (Managing Partner SBA)

By creating a single portal for business information, such as regulatory 

compliance information, Business Gateway directly benefits DoJ’s 

stakeholders, including those who are involved in the manufacturing and 

distribution of controlled substances or firearms and explosives – many 

of whom are subject to complex regulatory requirements across multiple 

agencies. 

DoJ’s stakeholders can potentially receive significant benefits from 

Business Gateway (BG). These benefits are outlined below. 

• Contact center savings: Due to the use of Business.gov and 

Forms.gov a decrease in misdirected calls is expected 

resulting in cost savings for DoJ. 

• Maintenance savings: Business.gov’s search technology will 

provide DoJ with valuable user statistics and feedback, enabling it to simplify content 

management on its business compliance site. 

• Cost and time savings: Businesses looking for DoJ compliance regulations can save time and 

money by going to Business.gov. In FY 2008, 74 percent of Business.gov users who 

responded to the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) survey reported saving time 

at an average of nearly 10 hours per user, totaling 3,960,269 hours; 55 percent of survey 

respondents also reported saving money at an average of $753 per user.

• Increased forms management: By making 123 forms available on Forms.gov, DoJ saves 

agency time in forms management, and is expected to produce significant savings in paper 

and postage. DoJ forms were accessed via Forms.gov 96,486 times in FY 2008.

• Increased exposure: Business.gov houses numerous DoJ compliance links and directed 6,901 

visits to DoJ sites in FY 2008. 

• Reduced burden on field offices: By directing compliance-related inquiries to Business.gov, 

agencies with field offices will save training and staff-time dollars.

• Regulatory compliance: The Business.gov website enables DoJ to comply with the reporting 

requirement for the Small Business Paperwork Relief Act (SBPRA) and is also consistent with 

the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (SBREFA), which called on 

federal regulatory agencies to publish small business guides that assist small firms in 

complying with, and answer small businesses’ inquiries about federal regulations.

• Data harmonization: BG is in a unique position to support data harmonization efforts 

indirectly through its content partnerships with various government agencies. DoJ has the 

opportunity to identify and realize data harmonization benefits in many areas, such as 

immigration adjudication.

Through increased outreach, more constituents will be able to realize these benefits.

• Other Offices: The Office of Justice Programs also benefits through Business Gateway 

providing a consolidated space for these previously separate bureaus to list and consolidate 

compliance information as well as federal forms.

Government to Government Portfolio 

Grants.gov (Managing Partner HHS)

The Grants.gov initiative benefits DoJ and its grant making components, including the Office of Justice 

Programs and the Violent Crime Reduction Trust Fund, by providing a single location to publish grant 

(funding) opportunities and receive application packages, and by providing a single site for the grants 

community to apply for grants using common forms, processes and systems. 

The utilization of Grants.gov eliminates the need for DoJ to build a similar system of its own to service its 

grant constituents. DoJ has leveraged Grants.gov in the development of two agency specific forms and 

government-wide forms are used for virtually all application packages. As of October 2008, DoJ posted 

100 synopses of competitive grant opportunities and 114 application packages on Grants.gov. DoJ has 

received more than 6258 electronic applications from the grants community via Grants.gov. 

DoJ additionally serves as the grants system service provider for the Department of Homeland 

Security/Office of Grants and Training (OG&T), enabling OG&T to use Grants.gov for its competitive 

grants. 

Internal Efficiency and Effectiveness Portfolio 

E-Gov Travel (Managing Partner GSA)

DoJ will begin migrating its travel services to Carlson Wagonlit Government Travel, one of the three 

designated E-Gov Travel Service (ETS) providers, in Q2 FY 2009. Through a combination of advantageous 

travel management center pricing and a substantially higher degree of online booking engine usage 

(estimated at 40 percent), DoJ and component bureaus (including United States Parole Commission; 

Legal Activities and U.S. Marshals; National Security Division; Interagency Law Enforcement; Federal 

Bureau of Investigation; Drug Enforcement Administration; Bureau of Alcohol; Tobacco, Firearms, and 

Explosives; Federal Prison System; Office of Justice Programs; and Violent Crime Reduction Trust Fund) 

are projected to save over $187,000 in travel management service fees for reservations in FY 2009 when 

compared to pre-ETS pricing and online usage. 

Integrated Acquisition Environment - Loans and Grants (Managing Partner GSA) 

All agencies participating in the posting and/or awarding of Loans & Grants are required by the Federal 

Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA) to disclose award information on a publicly 

accessible website. Cross-government cooperation with OMB’s Integrated Acquisition Environment 
97 

initiative allows agencies and contributing bureaus (including the United States Parole Commission, Legal 

Activities and U.S. Marshals, National Security Division, Interagency Law Enforcement, Federal Bureau of 

Investigation, Drug Enforcement Administration, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, 

Federal Prison System, Office of Justice Programs, and the Violent Crime Reduction Trust Fund at DoJ) to 

meet the requirements of the FFATA by assigning a unique identifier, determining corporate hierarchy, 

and validating and cleaning up incorrect or incomplete data. The FFATA enhances transparency of federal 

program performance information, funding, and loans & grants solicitation. 

Lines of Business 

Budget Formulation and Execution LoB (Managing Partner ED) 

BFE LoB provides significant benefits to partner agencies by encouraging best practices across all aspects 

of federal budgeting – from budget formulation and execution to performance to collaboration to human 

capital needs. 

To benefit all agencies, including DoJ, BFE LoB continues to support Department of Treasury as the 

system owner in the advancement of the Budget Formulation and Execution Manager (BFEM), the first 

shared fee-for-service budget formulation system. With support from BFE LoB, Treasury/BFEM made 

available a new Performance Measure Manager (PMM) module in early 2008. This module allows users to 

automate the definition, collection, and reporting of all types of performance measures. In 2009, 

Treasury/BFEM plans to integrate PMM with OMB’s Program Assessment Rating Tool system and begin 

work on automating the transfer of apportionment data from BFEM to OMB's MAX system. 

DoJ purchased BFEM for its budget formulation process resulting in greater ease in collection of budget 

data and production of budget submissions. DoJ avoided the costs of procuring and setting up a custom 

system by participating in a shared service system sponsored by BFE LoB. The BFEM formulation system 

services DoJ and it also continues as an option for any DoJ component (including United States Parole 

Commission; Legal Activities and U.S. Marshals; National Security Division; Interagency Law 

Enforcement; Federal Bureau of Investigation; Drug Enforcement Administration; Bureau of Alcohol, 

Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives; Federal Prison System; Office of Justice Programs; and the Violent 

Crime Reduction Trust Fund) that is in need of a budget formulation or performance measurement 

system. 

To help agencies assess their budget systems requirements, BFE LoB created a decision matrix and 

recently evaluated nine budget systems against the matrix. This evaluation is available for all agencies to 

use and provides cost savings to agencies by eliminating the need for agencies to review this many 

systems individually. DoJ may benefit from using this matrix in working with Treasury/BFEM to ensure 

that BFEM can meet the full range of customer needs. In 2009, BFE LoB will research the possibilities for 

additional fee-for-service budget systems. As an early adopter of a fee-for-service budget system, DoJ 

will provide valuable input into this process. 

BFE LoB’s “MAX Federal Community,” a secure government-only collaborative website, provides 

significant benefits for collaboration across and within agencies, as well as knowledge management. It is 

used within the budget community, as well as other related communities such as Grants, Financial 

Management, Performance, E-Government, and more. DoJ currently has 390 users registered for the 

MAX Federal Community. The MAX Community site is commonly used for sharing information, 

collaboratively drafting documents (including the direct-editing of documents posted on the site), 

supporting workgroups, submitting central reports, and much more. DoJ also has the option to use BFE 

LoB’s online meeting tool for DoJ budget meetings. Enhancements to both tools will continue in 2009 as 

these technologies advance. 

DoJ may choose to use BFE LoB’s "Touchpoints" document and budget execution process maps to 

improve its own agency interactions between budget execution and financial management. BFE LoB will 

continue to work toward more automated data exchange to improve data quality in these areas. 
98 

BFE LoB’s Human Capital Federal Budget Core Competency Framework is a resource for DoJ to use in its 

internal workforce planning initiatives. BFE LoB plans to continue to expand this framework in 2009. 

Financial Management LoB (Managing Partner GSA)

FM LoB benefits DoJ and component bureaus (including United States Parole Commission; Legal Activities 

and U.S. Marshals; National Security Division; Interagency Law Enforcement; Federal Bureau of 

Investigation; Drug Enforcement Administration; Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives; 

Federal Prison System; Office of Justice Programs; and the Violent Crime Reduction Trust Fund) through 

the use of financial management principles (standardized processes, systems configurations, systems 

architecture) in the development of 28 standard processes being implemented in the Unified Financial 

Management System (UFMS), which consolidates the seven DoJ financial systems into one utilizing a 

COTS product. The results will be the reduction of redundant costs and the simplification of audit 

processes across the Department. Upon implementation of the department wide system, DoJ will explore 

the option of becoming a shared service provider for the FM LoB. 

Geospatial LoB (Managing Partner DoI) 

Geospatial information is vital to the success of DoJ's law enforcement mission. Under Circular A-16, DoJ 

is the lead agency for the Law Enforcement Statistics theme. Through improved standards and new 

service components, Geospatial LoB will help DoJ and contributing bureaus (including the United States 

Parole Commission, Legal Activities and U.S. Marshals, National Security Division, Interagency Law 

Enforcement, Federal Prison System, Office of Justice Programs, and the Violent Crime Reduction Trust 

Fund) better utilize this and other National Spatial Data Infrastructure data themes in its investigatory 

function. These enhancements will especially benefit DoJ's partnering relationships with state, local, and 

tribal law enforcement agencies. 

Already, the Geospatial LoB data call has provided DoJ with a portfolio of its geospatial procurement 

activity so that the Department can work to maximize the value of future geospatial investments. 

National Drug Intelligence Center (NDIC) - NDIC recently released the National Drug Threat Assessment 

report. The geostatistical presentations illuminate the dynamic trends in regional drug abuse. 

Benefits to DoJ bureaus include: 

 

• Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) - Geospatial information has allowed the FBI 

managers to improve how to address vulnerabilities and threats in their 'domain' using a 

suite of geospatial mapping tools that manage, manipulate, integrate, query, and display 

digital geospatial data in support of FBI decision-making.

• Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) - In the future the DEA will use more detailed 

geospatial analysis and GIS/Business Intelligence capabilities to generate visualizations of 

geographic trends and relationships in order to develop a drug control strategy.

• Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) - Consistent use of geospatial 

data standards will greatly increase the utility of the capability if information management 

and sharing of the ATF Bomb Arson Tracking System used by local law enforcement 

agencies.

• Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention - provides national leadership, 

coordination, and resources to prevent and respond to juvenile delinquency and victimization. 

Geospatial analysis data allows easy-to-read tables, graphs, and maps to effectively display 

the regional differences in juvenile population characteristics.

Grants Management LoB (Managing Partners HHS and NSF) 

DoJ continues to explore partnering and collaboration opportunities with the three designated Consortium 

providers. There are three grant making components in DoJ: the Office of Justice Programs (OJP), the 

Office of Community Oriented Policing Service (COPS), and the Office on Violence Against Women 

(OVW). COPS has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Department of Education. OJP and 
99 

OVW conducted a fit-gap analysis with each of the three Consortium providers, and will continue 

communicating with the Consortium leads to identify the appropriate fit. 

Because the DoJ components are not yet receiving services from a Consortium provider, cost savings 

have yet to be realized. However, DoJ continues to consolidate its internal systems. In FY 2008, OJP and 

OVW incorporated financial reporting into the Community Partnership Grants Management System. With 

this deployment, stakeholders can complete all reporting in one online system. 

DoJ stakeholders include state, local and tribal governments, universities, non-profit organizations 

and individuals. These stakeholders will benefit from one system that allows them to submit progress 

reports, financial reports, requests to modify the grant, and requests for payment. By consolidating 

grants system, greater transparency in the grant process will be available to all DoJ stakeholders. 

Potential benefits of GM LoB include moving towards a centralized location to download all applications, 

make awards, process payments, and manage to closeout. Once in production, it is anticipated that the 

GM LoB Consortium initiative will lead to a reduction in the number of systems of record for grants data 

across the government and the development of common reporting standards, improving agencies' ability 

to provide agency- and government-wide reports on grant activities and results. 

Human Resources Management LoB (Managing Partner OPM) 

DoJ currently utilizes the Department of Agriculture’s National Finance Center as a shared service 

provider for payroll services across all components, including United States Parole Commission; Legal 

Activities and U.S. Marshals; National Security Division; Interagency Law Enforcement; Federal Bureau of 

Investigation; Drug Enforcement Administration; Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives; 

Federal Prison System; Office of Justice Programs; and the Violent Crime Reduction Trust Fund. The 

benefits of having a single provider include standardized processes and interfaces across multiple 

components where every component is able to capitalize on the best practices implemented by the 

service provider without the expense of independent system implementations. 

DoJ's involvement in HR LoB allows utilization of government-wide solutions as well as access to best 

practices and lessons learned from task forces and other agencies. HR LoB has worked with participating 

agencies on Target Requirements for Shared Service, and developed Payroll and HR Benchmarking 

studies. These documents present a common view and vocabulary for the federal HR function that 

provide a solid base for standardization and common solutions. federal agencies are able to use this 

information and guidance to formulate their specific agency requirements for HR functions and manage 

the transition to a shared service center.

Government to Citizen Portfolio 

Disaster Assistance Improvement Plan (Managing Partner DHS) 

The Disaster Assistance Improvement Plan (DAIP) is a government-wide effort to improve the delivery of 

disaster assistance all across the Federal government. The initiative includes member agencies which 

have active disaster assistance programs as well as those which do not. While some partner agencies are 

affected less than others in times of a disaster, all are affected in some way. 

DoL was identified by DAIP as providing disaster assistance. In addition, DoL also supports other nondisaster assistance programs and services which continue to reach disaster victims who may be displaced 

or are otherwise out of contact. Participation in DAIP helps to reduce the burden on other federal 

agencies which routinely provide logistical help and other critical management or organizational support 

during disasters. 

In its first year of operation, the DAIP team identified the following Forms of Assistance (FOA) within 

DoL: 

• Category 2 – Disaster-related forms of assistance administered at the state or local level: 

o Disaster Unemployment Assistance (Employment and Training Administration) 

• Category 3 – Forms of assistance not inherently disaster-related, administered at the federal, 

state or local level: 

o Unemployment Insurance (Employment and Training Administration) 

• Category 5 – Forms of assistance providing information and agency resources that may be of 

interest to disaster victims: 

o National Emergency Grants (Employment and Training Administration) 
101 

In addition to being a member of DAIP, DoL is the managing partner for GovBenefits.gov, an EGovernment initiative. GovBenefits.gov hosts a more targeted version of the prescreening questionnaire 

focused for disaster victims, which will serve as the foundation and entry point for citizens searching for 

disaster assistance. GovBenefits.gov modified its existing content management infrastructure and 

governance approval structures to manage and publish new disaster assistance programs and content on 

the website. 

Government to Business Portfolio 

Business Gateway (Managing Partner SBA)

By creating a single portal for business information, such as regulatory compliance information, Business 

Gateway directly benefits DoL’s stakeholders, including U.S. businesses of all types and sizes – all of 

whom are subject to complex regulatory requirements across multiple agencies. 

DoL’s goals of improving working conditions, advancing opportunities for 

profitable employment, protecting retirement and health care benefits, 

helping employers find workers, strengthening free collective bargaining, 

etc., are tied to Business Gateway’s mission of helping businesses find, 

understand, and comply with federal laws and regulations and of making 

it easier for businesses to access government resources. 

While DoL already has effective compliance assistance resources, 

Business.gov as an inter-agency portal of government information for 

businesses serves to “cross-sell” agency information by increasing 

businesses’ access to DoL’s resources, and also increasing access to 

other agencies’ resources of which DoL’s customers may not be aware. 

DoL’s stakeholders can potentially receive significant benefits from 

Business Gateway (BG). These benefits are outlined below. Through 

increased outreach, more constituents will be able to realize these benefits. 

• Contact center savings: Due to the use of Business.gov and Forms.gov a decrease in 

misdirected calls is expected resulting in cost savings for DoL. 

• Maintenance savings: Business.gov’s search technology will provide DoL with valuable user 

statistics and feedback, enabling it to simplify content management on its compliance 

assistance site. 

• Cost and time savings: Businesses looking for DoL compliance regulations can save time and 

money by going to Business.gov. In FY 2008, 74 percent of Business.gov users who 

responded to the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) survey reported saving time 

at an average of nearly 10 hours per user, totaling 3,960,269 hours; 55 percent of survey 

respondents also reported saving money at an average of $753 per user. 

• Increased forms management: By making 253 forms available on Forms.gov, DoL saves 

agency time in forms management, and is expected to produce significant savings in paper 

and postage. DoL forms were accessed via Forms.gov 169,496 times in FY 2008. 

• Increased exposure: Business.gov houses numerous DoL compliance links providing crossagency effectiveness to American businesses. In FY 2008, Business.gov directed 51,042 visits 

to DoL sites. 

• Regulatory compliance: The Business.gov website enables DoL to comply with the reporting 

requirement for the Small Business Paperwork Relief Act (SBPRA) and is also consistent with 

the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (SBREFA), which called on 

federal regulatory agencies to publish small business guides that assist small firms in 

complying with, and answer small businesses’ inquiries about federal regulations.

encourage and facilitate compliance with the laws, the regulations, reporting forms, and 

other requirements affecting employee benefit plans. 

• Employment Standards Administration (ESA) – ESA is a critical participant in the BG 

initiative because of its role in governing basic worker protections. BG provides access to ESA 

compliance assistance tools and resources, including 130 forms. These employment 

standards are essential to all businesses and include issues ranging from nondiscrimination 

requirements for federal contractors to child labor rules, the minimum wage, and family and 

medical leave. 

• Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) – BG directs businesses to 

OSHA regulations, e-tools, training and guidance on worker safety via numerous compliance 

links and eight forms.

Grants.gov (Managing Partner HHS)

The Grants.gov initiative benefits DoL and its grant programs (including those of the the Employment and 

Training Administration, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and the Mine Safety and 

Health Administration) by providing a single location to publish grant (funding) opportunities and 

application packages, and by providing a single site for the grants community to apply for grants using 

common forms, processes and systems. The utilization of Grants.gov eliminates the need for DoL to build 

and maintain a similar system of its own to service its grant constituents. 

DoL uses government-wide forms 100 percent of the time for its application packages. As of September 

2008 DoL had posted approximately 21 funding opportunities and 21 application packages on Grants.gov. 

In FY 2008 DoL received approximately 1,244 electronic applications from the grants community via 

Grants.gov.

Budget Formulation and Execution LoB (Managing Partner ED) 

BFE LoB provides significant benefits to partner agencies by encouraging best practices across all aspects 

of federal budgeting – from budget formulation and execution to performance to collaboration to human 

capital needs. 

To help agencies assess their budget systems requirements, BFE LoB created a decision matrix and 

recently evaluated nine budget systems against the matrix. DoL’s efforts in systems requirements served 

as a basis for the BFE LoB decision matrix. DoL has been and continues to be a leader in federal budget 

automation. DoL’s budget system, the Departmental E-Budgeting System, was one of the nine systems 

evaluated. This evaluation is available for all agencies to use and provides cost savings to agencies by 

eliminating the need for agencies to review this many systems individually. DoL may benefit from using 

this information to determine areas for improvements in its own budget system. In 2009, BFE LoB will 

research the possibilities for additional fee-for-service budget systems. 

BFE LoB’s “MAX Federal Community,” a secure government-only collaborative website, provides 

significant benefits for collaboration across and within agencies, as well as knowledge management. It is 

used within the budget community, as well as other related communities such as Grants, Financial 

Management, Performance, E-Government, and more. DoL currently has 113 users registered for the 

MAX Federal Community. The MAX Community site is commonly used for sharing information, 

collaboratively drafting documents (including the direct-editing of documents posted on the site), 

supporting workgroups, submitting central reports, and much more. DoL also has the option to use BFE 

LoB’s online meeting tool for DoL budget meetings. Enhancements to both tools will continue in 2009 as 

these technologies advance. 

DoL may choose to use BFE LoB’s "Touchpoints" document and budget execution process maps to 

improve its own agency interactions between budget execution and financial management. BFE LoB will 

continue to work toward more automated data exchange to improve data quality in these areas. 

BFE LoB’s Human Capital Federal Budget Core Competency Framework is a resource for DoL to use in 

strengthening recruitment, training, career development and retention of its internal workforce. BFE LoB 

plans to continue to expand this framework in 2009. 

Financial Management LoB (Managing Partner GSA)

DoL will realize the following benefits through participation in FM LoB and usage of a FM Shared Service 

Provider (SSP): 

• Cost Savings; 

• Minimizing Risk: SSP customers will be able to minimize risk by implementing and using financial 

systems that are already operating with standard operating procedures; 

• Avoiding Duplicate Operational Costs: Reducing redundant costs by using standard business 

processes and a common system software certified by the Financial System Integration Office in 

the General Services Administration; and 

• Facilitating Best Practices/Standardization: Key tools such as a Request for Proposal framework 

and Service Level Agreement guides will be provided to DoL to help in the development of 

agency agreements with SSPs. 

Geospatial LoB (Managing Partner DoI) 

DoL and contributing bureaus (including the Bureau of Labor Statistics) look forward to Geospatial Line of 

Business benefits as new requirements and services for labor statistics are analyzed. Geospatial 

enablement of these labor statistics will provide for new multi-mission delivery across the federal sector 
104 

and to the public, which will in turn increase the use of this information and provide for efficient planning 

and investment for high priority requirements. 

Geospatial LoB provides more immediate access to geospatial information that would lead to improved 

productivity, improved mission delivery, and increased service to citizens. Geospatially enabling traditional 

business data will improve business process efficiency, allow for geographically based work planning and 

investment processes, assist in infrastructure asset tracking, improve mission delivery, and promote use 

of business intelligence in the Department’s decision support systems. The LoB is intended to establish 

methods for improved processes of doing business using geospatial information. 

 

Grants Management LoB (Managing Partners HHS and NSF) 

DoL manages 2,945 grant awards, equaling approximately $8.5 billion annually. DoL anticipates the key 

benefit to its bureaus (including Employment and Training Administration, Occupational Safety and 

Health Administration, Mine Safety and Health Administration, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Veterans 

Employment Training Service, and Bureau of International Labor Affairs) will be having a centralized 

location to download applications, make awards, and track awards to closeout. Automated business 

processes available through Consortia will decrease agency reliance on manual and paper-based 

processing. Consortium lead agencies will spread operations and maintenance costs, and development, 

modernization, and enhancement costs across agencies, decreasing the burden that any one agency 

must bear and eliminating duplicative costs for operating multiple systems. 

 

GM LoB will lead to a reduction in the number of systems of record for grants data across DoL and the 

government and the development of common reporting standards, improving DoL’s ability to provide 

agency- and government-wide reports on grant activities and results. Migrating to a Consortium lead 

agency will help DoL comply with the Federal Financial Assistance Management Improvement Act of 1999 

and the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006. 

 

Service to constituents will be improved through the standardization and streamlining of governmentwide grants business processes. The public will receive time savings as a result of quicker notification and 

faster payments due to an automated system for grants processing. Furthermore, GM LoB will minimize 

complex and varying agency-specific requirements and increase grantee ease of use on federal grants 

management systems. Constituents will benefit as they will have fewer unique agency systems and 

processes to learn; grantees’ ability to learn how to use the system will be improved and reliance on call 

center technical support will be reduced. Consortium lead agencies will also provide grantees with online 

access to standard post-award reports, decreasing the number of unique agency-specific reporting 

requirements. 

Human Resources Management LoB (Managing 

Partner OPM) - 

DoL benefits through its use of best-in-class HR services 

and systems provided by one of the approved service 

providers. DoL selected Department of Interior’s National 

Business Center for payroll and personnel processing. 

Through its adoption of an approved service provider, DoL 

can achieve the benefits of “best-in-class” HR solutions and 

offer employees across the agency improved HR services 

without the costs of developing and maintaining its own HR 

systems. DoL’s involvement in HR LoB allows the agency to 

utilize government-wide HR solutions, as well as access lessons learned and best practices developed by 

the task force and other agencies.

Department of State 

The E-Government initiatives serve citizens, businesses, and Federal and state government employees by 

delivering high quality services more efficiently at a lower price. Instead of expensive “stove-piped” 

operations, agencies work together to develop common solutions which achieve mission requirements at 

reduced cost, thereby making resources available for higher priority needs. 

The Department of State (State) is providing funding in FY 2009 to the following EGovernment Initiatives:

Benefits realized through the use of these initiatives are as follows: 

Government to Citizen Portfolio 

Disaster Assistance Improvement Plan (Managing Partner DHS) 

The Disaster Assistance Improvement Plan (DAIP) is a government-wide effort to improve the delivery of 

disaster assistance. The initiative includes member agencies which have active disaster assistance 

programs as well as those which do not. While some agencies are affected less than others in times of a 

disaster, all are affected in some way. It is imperative that all agencies work together to assist agencies 

and individuals in need of assistance. 

While State provides emergency management for its employees and not for the public at large, it remains 

important that the department participates in the plan to implement DAIP. For some agencies this will 

help to ensure that their non-disaster assistance programs and services continue to reach disaster victims 

who may be displaced or are otherwise out of contact. For other agencies, participation in DAIP will 

reduce the burden on other federal agencies which routinely provide logistical help and other critical 

management or organizational support during disasters, rather than direct assistance to individuals. For 

all of these agencies, participation in DAIP provides a platform to offer application intake in the event that 

a form of assistance is authorized as a result of a disaster, as well as to offer a resource to individuals 

who inquire with the agency about disaster assistance. 

The DAIP program office is continuing to work through quantifying and reporting on the benefits and cost 

savings or cost reductions for each member agency. Participating in DAIP will help State and component 

bureaus (including the Administration of Foreign Affairs) comply with Executive Order 13411, which 

mandates that disaster victims have prompt and efficient access to federal disaster assistance, as well as 

information regarding assistance available from government and private sector sources. 
106 

Government to Business Portfolio 

Business Gateway (Managing Partner SBA)

By creating a single portal for business information, such as regulatory compliance information, Business 

Gateway (BG) directly benefits State’s key stakeholders, U.S multinationals – all of which are subject to 

complex regulatory requirements across multiple agencies. 

 

State’s stakeholders can potentially receive significant benefits from BG. These benefits are outlined 

below. Through increased outreach, more constituents will be able to realize these benefits. 

• Cost and time savings: Businesses looking for State compliance regulations can save time 

and money by going to Business.gov. In FY 2008, 74 percent of Business.gov users who 

responded to the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) survey reported saving time 

at an average of nearly 10 hours per user, totaling 3,960,269 hours; 55 percent of survey 

respondents also reported saving money at an average of $753 per user. 

• Increased forms management: By making 45 forms available on Forms.gov, State saves 

agency time in forms management, and is expected to produce significant savings in paper 

and postage. State forms were accessed via Forms.gov 48,476 times in FY 2008. 

• Increased exposure: Business.gov houses numerous State compliance links providing crossagency effectiveness to American businesses. In FY 2008, Business.gov directed 326 visits to 

State sites. 

• Regulatory compliance: The Business.gov website enables State to comply with the reporting 

requirement for the Small Business Paperwork Relief Act (SBPRA) and is also consistent with 

the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (SBREFA), which called on 

federal regulatory agencies to publish small business guides that assist small firms in 

complying with, and answer small businesses’ inquiries about federal regulations. 

Benefits provided by BG to State Bureaus include: 

• Administration of Foreign Affairs – BG furthers the Administration of Foreign Affairs’ 

mission by increasing awareness of relevant programs by providing access to compliance 

links and federal forms.

Government to Government Portfolio 

Grants.gov (Managing Partner HHS)

The initiative benefits State and its grant programs, including those provided by the Administration of 

Foreign Affairs, by providing a single location to publish grant (funding) opportunities and application 

packages, and by providing a single site for the grants community to apply for grants using common 

forms, processes and systems. 

The utilization of Grants.gov eliminates the need for State to build and maintain a similar system of its 

own to service its grant constituents. State uses government-wide forms for 100 percent of its application 

packages. In FY 2008, State posted 69 funding opportunities and 84 application packages on Grants.gov 

and received 1,795 electronic applications from the grants community. 
107 

Internal Efficiency and Effectiveness Portfolio 

E-Gov Travel (Managing Partner GSA)

State began migrating its travel services to Carlson Wagonlit Government Travel, one of the three 

designated E-Gov Travel Service (ETS) providers, in Q2 FY 2006. State and Administration of Foreign 

Affairs are realizing the following benefits: 

• Increased cost savings associated with overall reduction in Travel Management Center 

transaction service fees; 

• Improved strategic source pricing through cross-government purchasing agreements; 

• Improved business process functionality as a result of streamlined travel policies and processes; 

• Enhanced security and privacy controls for the protection of government and personal data; and 

• Improved agency oversight and audit capabilities. 

Through a combination of advantageous travel management center pricing and online booking engine 

(OBE) usage, State saved over $1,000,000 in travel management service fees for reservations in FY 2008 

when compared to pre-ETS pricing and online usage. By a reduction of traveler and manager time for 

planning, arranging, authorizing, approving and post-travel reimbursement processing, State realized in 

FY 2008 a cost avoidance of over $165,000. Additionally, by using the ETS OBE, State is experiencing 

better policy compliance through improved pre-travel visibility of travel spending. This results in fewer 

issues similar to those identified by GAO in a recent report on premium class travel. 

Integrated Acquisition Environment - Loans and Grants (Managing Partner GSA) 

All agencies participating in the posting and/or awarding of Loans & Grants are required by the Federal 

Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA) to disclose award information on a publicly 

accessible website. Cross-government cooperation with OMB’s Integrated Acquisition Environment 

initiative allows agencies and contributing bureaus (including the Administration of Foreign Affairs at 

State) to meet the requirements of the FFATA by assigning a unique identifier, determining corporate 

hierarchy, and validating and cleaning up incorrect or incomplete data. The FFATA enhances 

transparency of federal program performance information, funding, and loans & grants solicitation. 

Lines of Business 

Budget Formulation and Execution LoB (Managing Partner ED) 

BFE LoB provides significant benefits to partner agencies by encouraging best practices across all aspects 

of federal budgeting – from budget formulation and execution to performance to collaboration to human 

capital needs. 

To benefit all agencies, including State, BFE LoB continues to support Department of Treasury as the 

system owner in the advancement of the Budget Formulation and Execution Manager (BFEM), the first 

shared fee-for-service budget formulation system. 

State adopted BFEM for its budget formulation process resulting in greater ease in collection of budget 

data and production of operating budget submissions. State retired the budget formulation portion of its 

legacy system, which was hugely dependent on costly contractor support for tasks that can be handled 

by users (or super-users) in BFEM. 

To help agencies assess their budget systems requirements, BFE LoB created a decision matrix and 

recently evaluated nine budget systems against the matrix. This evaluation is available for all agencies to 

use and provides cost savings to agencies by eliminating the need for agencies to review this many 

systems individually. State and any components (including the Administration of Foreign Affairs) may 
108 

benefit from using this matrix in working with Treasury/BFEM to ensure that BFEM can meet the full 

range of customer needs. In 2009, BFE LoB will research the possibilities for additional fee-for-service 

budget systems. As an early adopter of a fee-for-service budget system, State will provide valuable input 

into this process. 

BFE LoB’s “MAX Federal Community,” a secure government-only collaborative website, provides 

significant benefits for collaboration across and within agencies, as well as knowledge management. It is 

used within the budget community, as well as other related communities such as Grants, Financial 

Management, Performance, E-Government, and more. State currently has 311 users registered for the 

MAX Federal Community. The MAX Community site is commonly used for sharing information, 

collaboratively drafting documents (including the direct-editing of documents posted on the site), 

supporting workgroups, submitting central reports, and much more. 

State may choose to use BFE LoB’s "Touchpoints" document and budget execution process maps to 

improve its own agency interactions between budget execution and financial management. BFE LoB will 

continue to work toward more automated data exchange to improve data quality in these areas. 

BFE LoB’s Human Capital Federal Budget Core Competency Framework is a resource for State to use in 

its internal workforce planning initiatives. BFE LoB plans to continue to expand this framework in 2009. 

Financial Management LoB (Managing Partner GSA) 

State and component bureaus (including the Administration of Foreign Affairs) will realize the following 

benefits through participation in FM LoB and usage of a FM Shared Service Provider (SSP): 

• Cost Savings; 

• Minimizing Risk: SSP customers will be able to minimize risk by implementing and using financial 

systems that are already operating with standard operating procedures; 

• Avoiding Duplicate Operational Costs: Reducing redundant costs by using standard business 

processes and a common system software certified by the Financial System Integration Office in 

the General Services Administration; and 

• Facilitating Best Practices/Standardization: Key tools such as a Request for Proposal framework 

and Service Level Agreement guides will be provided to State to help in the development of 

agency agreements with SSPs. 

State and the U.S. Agency International Development (USAID) are collaborating on financial systems and 

functions to improve service and save money. In November 2005, they combined operations staff, 

software and hardware costs, saving the government over $20 million through the 10 year life of the 

project. In addition to operational savings and efficiencies, the software vendor that is providing financial 

management systems to both State and USAID has incorporated business practices common to the 

foreign affairs community into their baseline software, further avoiding costs. 

Geospatial LoB (Managing Partner DoI) 

State has responsibility for the international boundaries data layer outlined in OMB Circular A-16. State 

and contributing bureaus (including the Administration of Foreign Affairs) are looking forward to returns 

from the Geospatial Line of Business in terms of efficiency and synergy across both national and 

international mapping agencies. The Line of Business supports the Global Spatial Data Infrastructure and 

will provide improved data, services, and tools for dealing with natural disasters and other significant 

events that require timely geospatial information that extends beyond and across international borders. 
109 

Grants Management LoB (Managing Partners HHS and NSF) 

State manages approximately 11,000 grant awards, equaling approximately $4.5 billion annually. State 

anticipates the key benefit will be having a centralized location to download all applications, make 

awards, and track awards to closeout. State has partnered with the Department of Health and Human 

Services/Administration for Children and Families’ (HHS/ACF) Consortium Center of Excellence, and plans 

to pilot a small grant operation in the second quarter of FY 2009. The need for an end-to-end electronic 

grants management system is driven by the needs of its posts and bureaus which have requested an 

automated process for assistance management. As State does not have a system, it is difficult to quantify 

the value of enterprise reporting on federal financial assistance. However, as a Department State’s 

bureaus (including the Administration of Foreign Affairs), posts, and constituents will have higher quality 

reports and documents that will be more accurate and uniform both domestically and abroad. 

Department executives, Congress, and the President will have insight into the spending of funds on 

federal financial assistance. Without a department-wide management system, State would not be able to 

provide accurate data on where the money was spent or what results were achieved. State’s partnership 

with the HHS/ACF Center of Excellence will allow the Department to use a system that will achieve all of 

today's unrealized goals. 

State will benefit through improved customer access to grantees, a more efficient submission process, 

improved decision making, integrated financial management processes, improved efficiency of reporting 

procedures in order to increase usable information content, and optimized post-award and closeout 

actions. Furthermore, through the development of the GM LoB and the Consortium lead agencies, State 

expects to leverage subject matter expertise in grants management policies and procedures which would 

reduce its reliance on internal acquisitions of similar services. Both internal grantors at State and grantees 

benefit through a more effective and streamlined grants management process. For recipients, common 

application forms minimize the burden of the application process. Time usually spent looking up 

procedures and filling out redundant information can be better spent on grant-related work. For grant 

administrators, electronic processing of applications facilitates the review process, and enables agencies 

to make awards more efficiently. Also, by increasing the training capabilities and creating a better 

process within the agency, State expects to achieve a higher level of customer satisfaction with its 

grantee constituency throughout the entire grants management life cycle. 

Human Resources Management LoB (Managing Partner OPM) 

State and participating bureaus (including the Administration of Foreign Affairs) benefit through its use of 

best-in-class HR services and systems provided by one of the approved service providers. Through its 

adoption of an approved service provider, State can achieve the benefits of “best-in-class” HR solutions 

and offer employees across the agency improved HR services without the costs of developing and 

maintaining its own HR systems. State’s involvement in HR LoB allows the agency to utilize governmentwide HR solutions, as well as access lessons learned and best practices developed by the task force and 

other agencies.

Budget Formulation and Execution LoB (Managing Partner ED) 

BFE LoB provides significant benefits to partner agencies by encouraging best practices across all aspects 

of federal budgeting – from budget formulation and execution to performance to collaboration to human

111 

To benefit all agencies, including USAID, BFE LoB continues to support Department of Treasury as the 

system owner in the advancement of the Budget Formulation and Execution Manager (BFEM), the first 

shared fee-for-service budget formulation system. With support from BFE LoB, Treasury/BFEM made 

available a new Performance Measure Manager (PMM) module in early 2008. This module allows users to 

automate the definition, collection, and reporting of all types of performance measures. In 2009, 

Treasury/BFEM plans to integrate PMM with OMB’s Program Assessment Rating Tool system and begin 

work on automating the transfer of apportionment data from BFEM to OMB's MAX system. 

USAID purchased BFEM for its budget formulation process resulting in greater ease in collection of 

budget data and production of budget submissions. USAID avoided the costs of procuring and setting up 

a custom system by participating in a shared service system sponsored by BFE LoB. The BFEM 

formulation system services USAID and continues as an option for USAID’s performance measurement 

system needs. 

To help agencies assess their budget systems requirements, BFE LoB created a decision matrix and 

recently evaluated nine budget systems against the matrix. This evaluation is available for all agencies to 

use and provides cost savings to agencies by eliminating the need for agencies to review this many

supporting workgroups, submitting central reports, and much more. USAID also has the option to use 

BFE LoB’s online meeting tool for USAID budget meetings. Enhancements to both tools will continue in 

2009 as these technologies advance. 

USAID may choose to use BFE LoB’s "Touchpoints" document and budget execution process maps to 

improve its own agency interactions between budget execution and financial management. BFE LoB will

support under the State umbrella contract. 

Geospatial LoB (Managing Partner DoI) 

USAID is looking forward to the returns on investments from the Geospatial LoB with regard to the 

efficiency and synergy across the government. Geospatial LoB provides more immediate access to 

geospatial information that would lead to improved productivity, improved mission delivery, and 

increased service to citizens. Geospatially enabling traditional business data will improve business process 

efficiency, allow for geographically based work planning and investment processes, assist in infrastructure 

asset tracking, improve mission delivery, and promote use of business intelligence in the agency’s 

decision support systems. The LoB is intended to establish methods for improved processes of doing 

business using geospatial information. 

Grants Management LoB (Managing Partners HHS and NSF) 

With approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), USAID proceeded with its Global 

Acquisition and Assistance System (GLAAS), which extended CompuSearch PRISM, the current contracts 

management system, to include the management of its assistance agreements. The approval process for 

using GLAAS consisted of USAID evaluating the Consortium Lead solutions as well as analyzing and 

documenting the functionality and benefits of GLAAS for OMB. 

USAID was granted temporary approval to continue using GLAAS because it demonstrated that it is an 

efficient and cost effective solution that aligns with the goals of GM LoB. This solution provides 

management of the agency’s contracts, grants and cooperative agreements, and provides 

synchronization of vendor and financial data through integration with Phoenix, the Agency’s financial 

management system. 

As part of GM LoB, USAID will also participate in a COTS working group. The purpose of this group is to 

provide agencies with a forum to share best practices around their COTS system and coordinate 

requirements with their shared vendor. 

Human Resources Management LoB (Managing Partner OPM) 

USAID benefits through its use of best-in-class HR services and systems provided by one of the approved

Disaster Assistance Improvement Plan (Managing Partner DHS) 

The Disaster Assistance Improvement Plan (DAIP) is a government-wide effort to improve the delivery of 

disaster assistance. The initiative includes member agencies which have active disaster assistance 

programs as well as those which do not. While some agencies are affected less than others in times of a 

disaster, all are affected in some way. It is imperative that all agencies work together to assist agencies 

and individuals in need of assistance. 

While DAIP has not yet identified any disaster assistance programs within DoT, it remains important that 

the department participates in the plan to implement DAIP. For some agencies this will help to ensure 

that their non-disaster assistance programs and services continue to reach disaster victims who may be 

displaced or are otherwise out of contact. For other agencies, participation in DAIP will reduce the burden 

on other federal agencies which routinely provide logistical help and other critical management or 

organizational support during disasters, rather than direct assistance to individuals. For all of these 

agencies, participation in DAIP provides a platform to offer application intake in the event that a form of 

assistance is authorized as a result of a disaster, as well as to offer a resource to individuals who inquire 

with the agency about disaster assistance. 

The DAIP program office is continuing to work through quantifying and reporting on the benefits and cost 

savings or cost reductions for each member agency. Participating in DAIP will help DoT and component 

bureaus (including the Office of the Secretary, Federal Aviation Administration, Federal Highway 

Administration, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, National Highway Traffic Safety 

Administration, Federal Railroad Administration, Federal Transit Administration, Pipeline and Hazardous 

Materials Safety Administration, Research and Innovative Technology Administration, Office of Inspector 

General, and the Maritime Administration) comply with Executive Order 13411, which mandates that 
114 

disaster victims have prompt and efficient access to federal disaster assistance, as well as information 

regarding assistance available from government and private sector sources.

Business Gateway (Managing Partner SBA)

By creating a single portal for business information, such as regulatory 

compliance information, Business Gateway directly benefits DoT’s 

stakeholders, including airlines, motor carrier operators and suppliers, 

railroad operators and certifiers, and cargo vessel operators – many of 

which are subject to complex regulatory requirements across multiple 

agencies. 

 

DoT’s stakeholders can potentially receive significant benefits from 

Business Gateway. These benefits are outlined below. 

• Contact center savings: Due to the use of Business.gov and 

Forms.gov a decrease in misdirected calls results in cost 

savings for DoT. 

• Maintenance savings: Business.gov’s search technology 

provides DoT with valuable user statistics and feedback, 

enabling it to simplify content management on its business 

compliance site. 

• Cost and time savings: Businesses looking for DoT compliance regulations can save time and 

money by going to Business.gov. In FY 2008, 74 percent of Business.gov users who 

responded to the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) survey reported saving time 

at an average of nearly 10 hours per user, totaling 3,960,269 hours; 55 percent of survey 

respondents also reported saving money at an average of $753 per user. 

• Increased forms management: By making 167 forms available on Forms.gov, DoT saves 

agency time in forms management, and produces significant savings in paper and postage. 

DoT forms were accessed via Forms.gov 109,485 times in FY 2008. 

• Increased exposure: Business.gov includes numerous compliance links for DoT providing 

cross-agency effectiveness to American businesses. In FY 2008, Business.gov directed 9,714 

visits to DoT sites. 

• Reduced burden on field offices: By directing compliance-related inquiries to Business.gov, 

agencies with field offices saved training and staff-time dollars. 

• Regulatory compliance: The Business.gov website enables DoT to comply with the reporting 

requirement for the Small Business Paperwork Relief Act (SBPRA) and is also consistent with 

the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (SBREFA), which called on 

federal regulatory agencies to publish small business guides that assist small firms in 

complying with, and answer small businesses’ inquiries about federal regulations. 

• Data harmonization: Business Gateway is in a unique position to support data harmonization 

efforts indirectly through its content partnerships with various government agencies. DoT has 

the opportunity to identify and realize data harmonization benefits in many areas, such as 

Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. 

Through increased outreach, more constituents will be able to realize these benefits.

Grants.gov (Managing Partner HHS)

The Grants.gov initiative benefits DoT and its component organizations, including the Federal Aviation 

Administration, Federal Highway Administration, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, Federal 

Railroad Administration, Federal Transit Administration, Maritime Administration, National Highway Traffic 

Safety Administration, Office of the Secretary, Pipeline and Hazardous Material Safety Administration, 

Research and Innovative Technology Administration, Saint Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation, 

Office of Inspector General, and the Surface Transportation Board, by providing a single location to 

publish grant (funding) opportunities and application packages. Additionally, it provides a single site for 

the grants community to apply for grants using common forms, processes and systems. DoT derives its 

largest source of benefits from Grants.gov by not having to develop its own system for collecting 

electronic grant applications for paper-based discretionary grant programs. 
116 

In FY 2008, DoT received 2,040 electronic applications from the grants community via Grants.gov, with 

57 total application packages posted. New discretionary grant programs in FY 2008 were able to use 

Grants.gov rather than having to modify DoT software systems to accept pre-award data collection. 

Across DoT, Grants.gov has helped the Department standardize grant data items and procedures. 

Grants.gov has helped to improve accountability, reporting and to prepare for future GM LoB planning. 

Internal Efficiency and Effectiveness Portfolio 

Integrated Acquisition Environment - Loans and Grants (Managing Partner GSA) 

All agencies participating in the posting and/or awarding of Loans & Grants are required by the Federal 

Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA) to disclose award information on a publicly 

accessible website. Cross-government cooperation with OMB’s Integrated Acquisition Environment 

initiative allows agencies and contributing bureaus (including the Office of the Secretary, Federal Aviation 

Administration, Federal Highway Administration, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, National 

Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Federal Railroad Administration, Federal Transit Administration, 

Saint Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation, Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety 

Administration, Research and Innovative Technology Administration, and the Maritime Administration at 

DoT) to meet the requirements of the FFATA by assigning a unique identifier, determining corporate 

hierarchy, and validating and cleaning up incorrect or incomplete data. The FFATA enhances 

transparency of federal program performance information, funding, and loans & grants solicitation.

Budget Formulation and Execution LoB (Managing Partner ED) 

BFE LoB provides significant benefits to partner agencies by encouraging best practices across all aspects 

of federal budgeting – from budget formulation and execution to performance to collaboration to human 

capital needs. 

To benefit all agencies, including DoT, BFE LoB continues to support Department of Treasury as the 

system owner in the advancement of the Budget Formulation and Execution Manager (BFEM), the first 

shared fee-for-service budget formulation system. With support from BFE LoB, Treasury/BFEM made 

available a new Performance Measure Manager (PMM) module in early 2008. This module allows users to 

automate the definition, collection, and reporting of all types of performance measures. In 2009, 

Treasury/BFEM plans to integrate PMM with OMB’s Program Assessment Rating Tool system and begin 

work on automating the transfer of apportionment data from BFEM to OMB's MAX system. 

DoT purchased BFEM for its budget formulation process resulting in greater ease in collection of budget 

data and production of budget submissions. DoT avoided the costs of procuring and setting up a custom 

system by participating in a shared service system sponsored by BFE LoB. The BFEM formulation system 

services main DoT and it also continues as an option for any DoT component (including the Office of the 

Secretary; Federal Aviation Administration; Federal Highway Administration; Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration; National Highway Traffic Safety Administration; Federal Railroad Administration; Federal 

Transit Administration; Saint Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation; Pipeline and Hazardous 

Materials Safety Administration; Research and Innovative Technology Administration; Office of Inspector 

General; Surface Transportation Board; and Maritime Administration) that is in need of a budget 

formulation or performance measurement system. 

To help agencies assess their budget systems requirements, BFE LoB created a decision matrix and 

recently evaluated nine budget systems against the matrix. This evaluation is available for all agencies to 

use and provides cost savings to agencies by eliminating the need for agencies to review this many 

systems individually. DoT may benefit from using this matrix in working with Treasury/BFEM to ensure 

that BFEM can meet the full range of customer needs. In 2009, BFE LoB will research the possibilities for 
117 

additional fee-for-service budget systems. As an early adopter of a fee-for-service budget system, DoT 

will provide valuable input into this process. 

BFE LoB’s “MAX Federal Community,” a secure government-only collaborative website, provides 

significant benefits for collaboration across and within agencies, as well as knowledge management. It is 

used within the budget community, as well as other related communities such as Grants, Financial 

Management, Performance, E-Government, and more. DoT currently has 412 users registered for the 

MAX Federal Community. The MAX Community site is commonly used for sharing information, 

collaboratively drafting documents (including the direct-editing of documents posted on the site), 

supporting workgroups, submitting central reports, and much more. DoT also has the option to use BFE 

LoB’s online meeting tool for DoT budget meetings. Enhancements to both tools will continue in 2009 as 

these technologies advance. 

DoT may choose to use BFE LoB’s "Touchpoints" document and budget execution process maps to 

improve its own agency interactions between budget execution and financial management. BFE LoB will 

continue to work toward more automated data exchange to improve data quality in these areas. 

BFE LoB’s Human Capital Federal Budget Core Competency Framework is a resource for DoT to use in its 

internal workforce planning initiatives. BFE LoB plans to continue to expand this framework in 2009. 

Financial Management LoB (Managing Partner GSA)

FM LoB enables DoT and component bureaus (including the Office of the Secretary, Federal Aviation 

Administration, Federal Highway Administration, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, National 

Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Federal Railroad Administration, Federal Transit Administration, 

Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, Research and Innovative Technology 

Administration, Office of Inspector General, Surface Transportation Board, and the Maritime 

Administration) to leverage their information technology and financial processing expertise to provide 

services to additional federal agencies. DoT’s Enterprise Services Center hosts financial systems and 

business operations for Department of Transportation’s 14 bureaus, over four external branch agencies, 

boards, and commissions, and one legislative branch agency. As DoT’s customer base continues to grow, 

the agency can create economies of scale and use the growth to gain leverage with the financial 

management software vendor community. DoT will be able to contribute to the cost savings that will be 

recognized through the reduction of redundant costs. This is the result of using standard business 

processes and a common system configuration promoted by FM LoB. 

Geospatial LoB (Managing Partner DoI) 

DoT is a major Federal producer and distributor of metadata and transportation geospatial data. 

Transportation data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics and Federal Aviation Administration are 

used to model the geographic locations, interconnectedness, and characteristics of the transportation 

system within the United States that consists of both physical and non-physical components. Many other 

federal agencies, state and local governments, academia, and the private sector also collect and maintain 

transportation geospatial data. DoT anticipate potential cost savings through enhanced identification of 

and engagement with these other organizations, which will accrue with implementation of the common 

solutions identified in the business case developed for the line of business. 

All operating administrations within DoT understand the need to have enhanced governance to ensure 

that their missions are met by leveraging all parts of the geospatial community. Coordinating 

requirements analysis will allow the Department to leverage activities across agencies as they continue to 

explore ways to develop support and promote safety in the development of national and local 

transportation systems. All DoT bureaus (including the Federal Highway Administration, Federal Motor 

Carrier Safety Administration, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Federal Railroad 

Administration, Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, and the Research and Innovative 
118 

Technology Administration) will benefit from the use of best practices and open standards to provide for 

shared and reusable geospatial assets. 

Grants Management LoB (Managing Partners HHS and NSF) 

DoT manages 92,538 grant awards equaling approximately $80 billion in awards annually, and is the 

second largest federal grant-making agency. DoT anticipates the key benefit to its bureaus (including 

Office of the Secretary (OST), Federal Aviation Administration, Federal Highway Administration, Federal 

Motor Carrier Safety Administration, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Federal Railroad 

Administration, Federal Transit Administration, Saint Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation, 

Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, Research and Innovative Technology 

Administration, Office of Inspector General, Surface Transportation Board, and Maritime Administration) 

will be having a centralized location to download all applications, make awards, and track awards to 

closeout. Automated business processes available through Consortia will decrease agency reliance on 

manual and paper-based processing. Consortium lead agencies will spread operations and maintenance 

costs, and development, modernization, and enhancement costs across agencies, decreasing the burden 

that any one agency must bear. In 2006 due to the GM LoB initiative, DoT analyzed internal grant 

systems and programs; analyzed and documented core grant data items; helped facilitate grant system 

and program information exchange among DoT bureaus; identified DoT manual paper grant processes; 

began documenting and standardizing paper processes to prepare for automation; and started identifying 

systems for decommissioning. 

As DoT’s analysis of consolidation opportunities continues, GM LoB’s efforts are expected to lead to a 

reduction in the number of systems of record for grants data across DoT and the government. The 

development of common reporting standards will improve DoT’s ability to provide agency- and 

government-wide reports on grant activities and results. Continuing Department efforts will help DoT 

comply with the Federal Financial Assistance Management Improvement Act of 1999 and the Federal 

Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006, while DoT’s future eGrants strategy associated 

with current GM LoB efforts will meet long term objectives. 

Service to constituents will be improved through the standardization and streamlining of governmentwide grants business processes. The public will receive time savings as a result of quicker notification and 

faster payments due to an automated system for grants processing. Furthermore, GM LoB will minimize 

complex and varying agency-specific requirements and increase grantee ease of use on federal grants 

management systems. Constituents will benefit as they will have fewer unique agency systems and 

processes to learn; grantees’ ability to learn how to use the system will be improved and reliance on call 

center technical support will be reduced. Consortium lead agencies will also provide grantees with online 

access to standard post-award reports, decreasing the number of unique agency-specific reporting 

requirements. 

Human Resources Management LoB (Managing Partner OPM) 

DoT benefits through its use of best-in-class HR services and systems provided by one of the approved 

service providers, the Department of Interior’s National Business Center. During FY 2006, the Federal 

Aviation Administration completed DoT’s migration to the National Business Center. Through its adoption 

of an approved service provider, DoT and participating bureaus (including the Office of the Secretary, 

Federal Highway Administration, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, National Highway Traffic 

Safety Administration, Federal Railroad Administration, Federal Transit Administration, Saint Lawrence 

Seaway Development Corporation, Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, Research and 

Innovative Technology Administration, Office of Inspector General, Surface Transportation Board, and the 

Maritime Administration) can benefit from “best-in-class” HR solutions and offer DoT employees improved 

HR services without the costs of developing and maintaining their own HR systems. DoT’s involvement in 

HR LoB allows the agency to utilize government-wide HR solutions, as well as access lessons learned and 

best practices developed by the task force and other agencies.

Department of the Treasury 

The E-Government initiatives serve citizens, businesses, and Federal and state government employees by 

delivering high quality services more efficiently at a lower price. Instead of expensive “stove-piped” 

operations, agencies work together to develop common solutions which achieve mission requirements at 

reduced cost, thereby making resources available for higher priority needs. 

The Department of the Treasury (Treasury) is providing funding in FY 2009 to the 

following E-Government Initiatives:

Government to Citizen Portfolio 

Disaster Assistance Improvement Plan (Managing Partner DHS) 

The Disaster Assistance Improvement Plan (DAIP) is a government-wide effort to improve the delivery of 

disaster assistance all across the Federal government. The initiative includes member agencies which 

have active disaster assistance programs as well as those which do not. While some partner agencies are 

affected less than others in times of a disaster, all are affected in some way. 

Treasury was identified by DAIP as providing assistance that is valuable to disaster victims. It supports 

non-disaster assistance programs and services which reach disaster victims who may be displaced or are 

otherwise out of contact. Participation in DAIP helps to reduce the burden on other federal agencies 

which routinely provide logistical help and other critical management or organizational support during 

disasters. 

In its first year of operation, the DAIP team identified the following Forms of Assistance (FOA) within 

Treasury: 

• Category 4 – Agencies that can leverage data collected from disaster victims or can provide 

additional data/validations: 

o “Go Direct” Direct Deposit Enrollment (Department of the Treasury) 

• Category 5 – Forms of assistance providing information and agency resources that may be of 

interest to disaster victims: 

o Disaster Assistance Tax Information (Internal Revenue Service) 

o Savings Bond Redemption and Replacement (Bureau of Public Debt) 
120 

An independent FOA Validation Study is currently underway for the Department to ensure a consistent, 

replicable process for the establishment of a baseline as well as assessing all agency FOAs for inclusion in 

DAIP. 

Internal Revenue Service Free File (Managing Partner Treasury) 

IRS’ mission is to provide America's taxpayers top quality service by helping them understand and meet 

their tax responsibilities. The Free File initiative helps IRS meet this mission by creating a single point of 

access to free online preparation and electronic tax filing services, which reduces burden and costs to 

taxpayers. For the 2007 tax year, IRS reached out to 70 percent of the tax filing public and received 4.77 

million e-filed tax returns through Free File services, representing a cost-savings to the government of 

approximately $11.3 million. Since inception in 2003, IRS Free File has generated over 24 million returns 

and allowed the U.S. government to realize cost savings of $56.8 million. 

Government to Business Portfolio 

Business Gateway (Managing Partner SBA)

By creating a single portal for business information, such as regulatory compliance information Business 

Gateway directly benefits Treasury’s stakeholders, including American businesses of all kinds – virtually 

all of which are subject to complex regulatory requirements across multiple agencies.

Treasury’s stakeholders can potentially receive significant benefits from 

Business Gateway. These benefits are outlined below. Through increased 

outreach, more constituents will be able to realize these benefits. 

• Maintenance savings: Business.gov’s search technology will 

provide Treasury with valuable user statistics and feedback, 

enabling it to simplify content management on its business 

compliance site. 

• Cost and time savings: Businesses looking for Treasury 

compliance regulations can save time and money by going 

to Business.gov. In FY 2008, 74 percent of Business.gov 

users who responded to the American Customer Satisfaction 

Index (ACSI) survey reported saving time at an average of 

nearly 10 hours per user, totaling 3,960,269 hours; 55 

percent of survey respondents also reported saving money 

at an average of $753 per user. 

• Increased forms management: By making 1,023 forms available on Forms.gov, Treasury 

saves agency time in forms management, and is expected to produce significant savings in 

paper and postage. Treasury forms were accessed via Forms.gov 2,389,269 times in FY 

2008. 

• Increased exposure: Business.gov houses numerous compliance links providing cross-agency 

effectiveness to American businesses. In FY 2008, Business.gov directed 98,767 visits to 

Treasury sites. 

• Reduced burden on field offices: By directing compliance-related inquiries to Business.gov, 

agencies with field offices will save training and staff-time dollars. 

• Regulatory compliance: The Business.gov website enables Treasury to comply with the 

reporting requirement for the Small Business Paperwork Relief Act (SBPRA) and is also 

consistent with the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (SBREFA), 

which called on federal regulatory agencies to publish small business guides that assist small 

firms in complying with, and answer small businesses’ inquiries about federal regulations.

many areas, such as international business regulation. 

Expanding Electronic Tax Products for Businesses (Managing Partner Treasury) 

The Expanding Electronic Tax Products for Businesses (EETPB) initiative has been included as a 

component of Modernized e-File, a larger Treasury investment run out of the Internal Revenue Service 

(IRS). The mission of IRS is to provide America's taxpayers top quality service by helping them 

understand and meet their tax responsibilities, and by applying the tax law with integrity and fairness to 

all. The EETPB initiative helps IRS meet this mission by reducing the tax-reporting burden on businesses 

while improving the efficiency and effectiveness of government operations. 

Government to Government Portfolio 

Grants.gov (Managing Partner HHS)

Grants.gov benefits Treasury by providing a single location for citizens to find and apply for Treasury 

Department grant (funding) opportunities. Treasury has three grant-making programs: IRS Low Income 

Taxpayer Clinic, IRS Tax Counseling for the Elderly, and Community Development Financial Institutions 

(CDFI) Fund. The Department of the Treasury is meeting its targeted goals regarding posting of grant 

opportunities and applications on the Grants.gov portal. Treasury has posted seven funding opportunities 

and six application packages on Grants.gov. Treasury received 512 electronic applications in FY 2008.

Integrated Acquisition Environment - Loans and Grants (Managing Partner GSA) 

All agencies participating in the posting and/or awarding of Loans & Grants are required by the Federal 

Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA) to disclose award information on a publicly 

accessible website. Cross-government cooperation with OMB’s Integrated Acquisition Environment 

initiative allows agencies to meet the requirements of the FFATA by assigning a unique identifier, 

determining corporate hierarchy, and validating and cleaning up incorrect or incomplete data. The FFATA 

enhances transparency of federal program performance information, funding, and loans & grants 

solicitation.

Budget Formulation and Execution LoB (Managing Partner ED) 

BFE LoB provides significant benefits to partner agencies by encouraging best practices across all aspects 

of federal budgeting – from budget formulation and execution to performance to collaboration to human 

capital needs. 

To benefit all agencies, BFE LoB, in conjunction with Department of Treasury as the system owner, 

continues to support the advancement of the Budget Formulation and Execution Manager (BFEM), the 

first shared fee-for-service budget formulation system. With support from BFE LoB, Treasury/BFEM made 

available a new Performance Measure Manager (PMM) module in early 2008. This module allows users to 

automate the definition, collection, and reporting of all types of performance measures. In 2009, 

Treasury/BFEM plans to integrate PMM with OMB’s Program Assessment Rating Tool system and begin 

work on automating the transfer of apportionment data from BFEM to OMB's MAX system. This effort has 

a direct benefit for the Treasury Department since it spreads the cost of all BFEM development work. By 

creating a pool of funds contributed to by a wide range of agencies, the Treasury Department no longer 

has to fund BFEM development itself and can share those costs and benefits with other agencies. 
122 

To help agencies assess their budget systems requirements, BFE LoB created a decision matrix and 

recently evaluated nine budget systems against the matrix. BFEM was one of the nine systems evaluated. 

This evaluation is available for all agencies to use and provides cost savings to agencies by eliminating 

the need for agencies to review this many systems individually. Treasury/BFEM may benefit from using 

this information to determine areas for improvements in the BFEM budget system. In 2009, BFE LoB will 

research the possibilities for additional fee-for-service budget systems. 

 

BFE LoB’s “MAX Federal Community,” a secure government-only collaborative website, provides 

significant benefits for collaboration across and within agencies, as well as knowledge management. It is 

used within the budget community, as well as other related communities such as Grants, Financial 

Management, Performance, E-Government, and more. Treasury currently has 429 users registered for the

Treasury may choose to use BFE LoB’s "Touchpoints" document and budget execution process maps to 

improve its own agency interactions between budget execution and financial management. BFE LoB will 

continue to work toward more automated data exchange to improve data quality in these areas. 

BFE LoB’s Human Capital Federal Budget Core Competency Framework is a resource for Treasury to use 

in its internal workforce planning initiatives. BFE LoB plans to continue to expand this framework in 2009. 

Financial Management LoB (Managing Partner GSA) 

FM LoB enables Treasury to better leverage its information technology and financial processing expertise 

to provide services to additional federal agencies. Treasury’s Bureau of Public Debt Administrative 

Resource Center hosts financial systems and business operations for 25 external executive branch 

agencies, boards, and commissions, and 12 franchise fund customers. As Treasury’s customer base 

continues to grow, the agency can create economies of scale and use the growth to gain leverage with 

the financial management software vendor community. Treasury will be able to contribute to the cost 

savings that will be recognized through the reduction of redundant costs. This is the result of using 

standard business processes and a common system configuration promoted by FM LoB. 

Geospatial LoB (Managing Partner DoI) 

Treasury is entrusted with a broad range of duties and functions. In addition to monetary functions such 

as budgets, taxes, and currency production and circulation, Treasury also oversees critical functions in 

enforcement, economic policy development, and international treaty negotiation. Geospatial LoB provides 

more immediate access to geospatial information that would lead to improved productivity, improved 

mission delivery, and increased service to citizens. Geospatially enabling traditional business data will 

improve business process efficiency, allow for geographically based work planning and investment 

processes, assist in infrastructure asset tracking, improve mission delivery, and promote use of business 

intelligence in decision support systems. 

Grants Management LoB (Managing Partners HHS and NSF) 

Treasury manages 376 grant awards equaling approximately $60 million annually. Treasury anticipates 

the key benefit will be having a centralized location to download all applications, make awards, and track 

awards to closeout. Automated business processes available through Consortium service providers will 

decrease agency reliance on manual and paper-based processing. Internal Revenue Service, one of two 

grant making entities within Treasury, will continue to rely on the Department of Health and Human 

Services — an approved GM LoB service provider — for grants processing. In addition, the Community 

Development Financial Institutions Fund has signed an agreement with HHS to migrate to its Consortium 

solution. Expected constituent and citizen benefits include improved service, and time, cost, and resource 
123 

savings. Consortium lead agencies will spread operations and maintenance costs, and development, 

modernization, and enhancement costs across agencies, decreasing the burden that any one agency 

must bear. 

GM LoB will lead to a reduction in the number of systems of record for grants data across Treasury and 

the government and the development of common reporting standards, improving Treasury’s ability to 

provide agency- and government-wide reports on grant activities and results. Migrating to a Consortium 

lead agency will help Treasury comply with the Federal Financial Assistance Management Improvement 

Act of 1999 and the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006. 

Service to constituents will be improved through the standardization and streamlining of governmentwide grants business processes. The public will receive time savings as a result of quicker notification and 

faster payments due to an automated system for grants processing. Furthermore, GM LoB will minimize 

complex and varying agency-specific requirements and increase grantee ease of use on federal grants 

management systems. Constituents will benefit as they will have fewer unique agency systems and 

processes to learn; grantees’ ability to learn how to use the system will be improved and reliance on call 

center technical support will be reduced. Consortium lead agencies will also provide grantees with online 

access to standard post-award reports, decreasing the number of unique agency-specific reporting 

requirements. 

Human Resources Management LoB (Managing Partner OPM) 

Treasury operates HR Connect, one of the approved service providers for HR LoB. Treasury also receives 

payroll services from the Department of Agriculture’s National Finance Center. This initiative allows 

Treasury and participating bureaus (including the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, Financial 

Management Service, Federal Financing Bank, Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, Bureau of 

Engraving and Printing, United States Mint, Bureau of the Public Debt, Internal Revenue Service, 

Community Development Financial Institutions Funds, Comptroller of the Currency, and the Office of 

Thrift Supervision) to spread the cost of managing HR systems and processes across a larger customer 

base, reducing agency costs to operate these systems and processes. Treasury’s involvement in HR LoB 

allows the agency to utilize government-wide HR solutions, as well as access lessons learned and best 

practices developed by the task force and other agencies.

disaster assistance all across the Federal government. The initiative includes member agencies which 

have active disaster assistance programs as well as those which do not. While some partner agencies are 

affected less than others in times of a disaster, all are affected in some way. VA was identified by DAIP 

as providing assistance that is valuable to disaster victims. It supports non-disaster assistance programs 

and services which reach disaster victims who may be displaced or are otherwise out of contact. 

Participation in DAIP helps to reduce the burden on other federal agencies which routinely provide 

logistical help and other critical management or organizational support during disasters. 

In its first year of operation, the DAIP team identified the following Form of Assistance (FOA) within VA: 

• Category 5 – Forms of assistance providing information and agency resources that may be of 

interest to disaster victims: 

o Inquiry Routing and Information System (Department of Veterans Affairs) 

An independent FOA Validation Study is currently underway for VA to ensure a consistent, replicable 

process for the establishment of a baseline as well as assessing all agency FOAs for inclusion in DAIP. 

Participating in DAIP helps VA and component bureaus (including the Office of Information & 

Technology) comply with Executive Order 13411, which mandates that disaster victims have prompt and 

efficient access to federal disaster assistance, as well as information regarding assistance available from 

government and private sector sources.

Government to Business Portfolio 

Business Gateway (Managing Partner SBA) 

By creating a single portal for business information, such as regulatory compliance information Business 

Gateway directly benefits VA’s stakeholders, Veteran Business Owners –all of which are subject to 

complex regulatory requirements across multiple agencies.

VA’s stakeholders can potentially receive significant benefits from 

Business Gateway. These benefits are outlined below. Through increased 

outreach, more constituents will be able to realize these benefits. 

• Cost and time savings: Businesses looking for VA compliance 

regulations can save time and money by going to 

Business.gov. In FY 2008, 74 percent of Business.gov users 

who responded to the American Customer Satisfaction Index 

(ACSI) survey reported saving time at an average of nearly 

10 hours per user, totaling 3,960,269 hours; 55 percent of 

survey respondents also reported saving money at an 

average of $753 per user. 

• Increased forms management: By making 152 forms 

available on Forms.gov, VA saves agency time in forms 

management, and is expected to produce significant savings 

in paper and postage. Treasury forms were accessed via Forms.gov 366,996 times in FY 

2008. 

• Increased exposure: Business.gov houses numerous compliance links providing cross-agency 

effectiveness to American businesses. In FY 2008, Business.gov directed 931 visits to VA 

sites. 

• Regulatory compliance: The Business.gov website enables VA to comply with the reporting 

requirement for the Small Business Paperwork Relief Act (SBPRA) and is also consistent with 

the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (SBREFA), which called on 

federal regulatory agencies to publish small business guides that assist small firms in 

complying with, and answer small businesses’ inquiries about federal regulations. 

Government to Government Portfolio 

Grants.gov (Managing Partner HHS) 

The initiative benefits VA and its grants programs, including those from the Office of Information & 

Technology, by providing a single location to electronically publish grant (funding) opportunities and 

application packages, and by providing a single site for the grants community to electronically apply for 

grants using common forms, processes and systems. The utilization of Grants.gov eliminates the need for 

VA to build and maintain a similar system of its own to service its grant constituents. The funding for all 

VA grant programs comes from the each of the respective VA program offices. 

As of September 2008, VA posted three funding opportunities and eight application packages on 

Grants.gov, and successfully received 1358 electronic applications via Grants.gov. In FY 2009, VA plans to 

use Grants.gov for all State Veterans Home Construction Grants and National Cemetery Administration 

State Grants; and increase use for the Homeless Grant Program.

E-Payroll (Managing Partner OPM)

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is currently migrating its payroll operations to the Defense 

Finance and Accounting Service. Given the complexity of requirements, especially for VA’s medical 

community and the size of the population to be transitioned, the migration will occur in seven phases. 

The first phase occurred in August 2006 and the final phase is planned to be completed by the end of FY 

2009. Although the migration is occurring in a phased fashion, VA has already begun to realize benefits 

from having consolidated its payroll processing functions and will continue to realize benefits with the 

cross-agency Payroll Provider environment. 

Integrated Acquisition Environment - Loans and Grants (Managing Partner GSA) 

All agencies participating in the posting and/or awarding of Loans & Grants are required by the Federal 

Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA) to disclose award information on a publicly 

accessible website. Cross-government cooperation with OMB’s Integrated Acquisition Environment 

initiative allows agencies and contributing bureaus (including the Office of Information & Technology at 

VA) to meet the requirements of the FFATA by assigning a unique identifier, determining corporate 

hierarchy, and validating and cleaning up incorrect or incomplete data. The FFATA enhances 

transparency of federal program performance information, funding, and loans & grants solicitation. 

Lines of Business 

Budget Formulation and Execution LoB (Managing Partner ED) 

BFE LoB provides significant benefits to partner agencies by encouraging best practices across all aspects 

of federal budgeting – from budget formulation and execution to performance to collaboration to human 

capital needs. 

To benefit all agencies, including VA, BFE LoB continues to support Department of Treasury as the 

system owner in the advancement of the Budget Formulation and Execution Manager (BFEM), the first 

shared fee-for-service budget formulation system. With support from BFE LoB, Treasury/BFEM made 

available a new Performance Measure Manager (PMM) module in early 2008. This module allows users to 

automate the definition, collection, and reporting of all types of performance measures. In 2009, 

Treasury/BFEM plans to integrate PMM with OMB’s Program Assessment Rating Tool system and begin 

work on automating the transfer of apportionment data from BFEM to OMB's MAX system. 

VA purchased BFEM for its budget formulation process resulting in greater ease in collection of budget 

data and production of budget submissions. VA avoided the costs of procuring and setting up a custom 

system by participating in a shared service system sponsored by BFE LoB. The BFEM formulation system 

services VA and it also continues as an option for any VA component that is in need of a budget 

formulation or performance measurement system. 

To help agencies assess their budget systems requirements, BFE LoB created a decision matrix and 

recently evaluated nine budget systems against the matrix. This evaluation is available for all agencies to 

use and provides cost savings to agencies by eliminating the need for agencies to review this many 

systems individually. VA may benefit from using this matrix in working with Treasury/BFEM to ensure that 

BFEM can meet the full range of customer needs. In 2009, BFE LoB will research the possibilities for 

additional fee-for-service budget systems. As an early adopter of a fee-for-service budget system, VA will 

provide valuable input into this process. 

BFE LoB’s “MAX Federal Community,” a secure government-only collaborative website, provides 

significant benefits for collaboration across and within agencies, as well as knowledge management. It is 

used within the budget community, as well as other related communities such as Grants, Financial 
127 

Management, Performance, E-Government, and more. VA currently has 181 users registered for the MAX 

Federal Community. The MAX Community site is commonly used for sharing information, collaboratively 

drafting documents (including the direct-editing of documents posted on the site), supporting 

workgroups, submitting central reports, and much more. VA also has the option to use BFE LoB’s online 

meeting tool for VA budget meetings. Enhancements to both tools will continue in 2009 as these 

technologies advance. 

VA may choose to use BFE LoB’s "Touchpoints" document and budget execution process maps to 

improve its own agency interactions between budget execution and financial management. BFE LoB will 

continue to work toward more automated data exchange to improve data quality in these areas. 

BFE LoB’s Human Capital Federal Budget Core Competency Framework is a resource for VA to use in its 

internal workforce planning initiatives. BFE LoB plans to continue to expand this framework in 2009. 

Federal Health Architecture LoB (Managing Partner HHS) 

The Nationwide Health Information Network (NHIN) provided through FHA LoB will provide VA and nonVA clinicians with a comprehensive picture of a veteran’s health that will be particularly beneficial for 

treating America’s wounded warriors suffering from complex, chronic disorders that are difficult to 

diagnose and treat, such as traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic stress disorder. VA and 

participating bureaus (including the Office of Information & Technology) will be able to better meet the 

agency’s mission and deliver improved quality of care to U.S. veterans. 

Financial Management LoB (Managing Partner GSA)

VA will realize the following benefits through participation in FM LoB and usage of a FM Shared Service 

Provider (SSP): 

• Cost Savings; 

• Minimizing Risk: SSP customers will be able to minimize risk by implementing and using financial 

systems that are already operating with standard operating procedures; 

• Avoiding Duplicate Operational Costs: Reducing redundant costs by using standard business 

processes and a common system software certified by the Financial System Integration Office in 

the General Services Administration; and 

• Facilitating Best Practices/Standardization: Key tools such as a Request for Proposal framework 

and Service Level Agreement guides will be provided to VA to help in the development of agency 

agreements with SSPs. 

Geospatial LoB (Managing Partner DoI) 

VA is responsible for the outcomes that its programs produce in military-to-civilian transitions, health and 

rehabilitation, and economic opportunities, across various cohorts of veterans. Having geospatial capacity 

and capability in VA ensures that program managers have the business intelligence to identify where their 

decisions have affects, why there are variations in those effects, and how programs can better respond to 

all veterans effectively. Geospatial LoB offers an opportunity for VA and contributing bureaus (including 

the Office of Information & Technology) to partner with other government agencies that affect veterans' 

changing needs. Initiative partners will benefit by more efficiently delivering services for mission needs 

and to citizens through easy to find, high quality, and timely geospatial data and services. 

Grants Management LoB (Managing Partners HHS and NSF) 

VA anticipates the key benefit will be having a centralized location for the Department and contributing 

bureaus (including the Office of Information & Technology) to download all applications, make awards, 

and track awards to closeout. Automated business processes available through Consortium service 

providers will decrease agency reliance on manual and paper-based processing. Consortium lead 
128 

agencies will spread operations and maintenance costs, and development, modernization, and 

enhancement costs across agencies, decreasing the burden that any one agency must bear. 

GM LoB will lead to a reduction in the number of systems of record for grants data across VA and the 

government and the development of common reporting standards, improving VA’s ability to provide 

agency- and government-wide reports on grant activities and results. Migrating to a Consortium lead 

agency will help VA comply with the Federal Financial Assistance Management Improvement Act of 1999 

and the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006. 

VA’s grant constituents include state governments, tribal organizations, and non-profits. Service to VA’s 

constituents will be improved through the standardization and streamlining of government-wide grants 

business processes. The public will receive time savings as a result of quicker notification and faster 

payments due to an automated system for grants processing. Furthermore, GM LoB will minimize 

complex and varying agency-specific requirements and increase grantee ease of use on federal grants 

management systems. Constituents will benefit as they will have fewer unique agency systems and 

processes to learn; grantees’ ability to learn how to use the system will be improved and reliance on call 

center technical support will be reduced. Consortium leads’ will also provide grantees with online access 

to standard post-award reports, decreasing the number of unique agency-specific reporting requirements. 

Human Resources Management LoB (Managing Partner OPM) 

VA and participating bureaus (including the Office of Information & Technology) benefit through its use 

of best-in-class HR services and systems provided by one of the approved service providers, the Defense 

Finance Accounting Services at the Department of Defense. Through its adoption of an approved service 

provider, VA can achieve the benefits of “best-in-class” HR solutions and offer employees across the 

agency improved HR services without the costs of developing and maintaining its own HR systems. VA’s 

involvement in HR LoB allows the agency to utilize government-wide HR solutions, as well as access 

lessons learned and best practices developed by the task force and other agencies.

Geospatial LoB (Managing Partner DoI) 

USACE is looking forward to the returns on investments from the Geospatial LoB initiative with regard to 

the efficiency and synergy across the government. Geospatial LoB provides more immediate access to 

geospatial information that would lead to improved productivity, improved mission delivery, and 

increased service to citizens. Geospatially enabling traditional business data will improve business process 

efficiency, allow for geographically based work planning and investment processes, assist in infrastructure 

asset tracking, improve mission delivery, and promote use of business intelligence in the agency’s 

decision support systems. The LoB is intended to establish methods for improved processes of doing 

business using geospatial information.

Grants.gov (Managing Partner HHS)

The Grants.gov initiative benefits EPA and its grant programs by providing a single location to publish 

grant (funding) opportunities and application packages, and by providing a single site for the grants 

community to apply for grants using common forms, processes and systems. EPA believes that the 

central site raises the visibility of agency grants opportunities to a wider diversity of applicants. 

Grants.gov has also allowed EPA to discontinue support for its own electronic system to allow applicants 

to apply for grants, which saves operational, training, and account management costs. 

The grants community benefits from savings in postal costs, paper and envelopes. Applicants save time 

searching for agency grant opportunities and learning the application systems of various agencies. At the 

request of the state environmental agencies, EPA has begun to offer Grants.gov application packages for 

mandatory grants (i.e. Continuing Environmental Program Grants). States requested that EPA extend 

usage to mandatory programs to streamline its application process. 

During FY 2008 EPA posted 141 grant opportunities on Grants.gov “Find” and linked 100 percent of those 

competitive opportunities to electronic application packages on “Apply.” EPA received 3,065 applications 

through Grants.gov in 2008, a four percent increase over the number of applications received in 2007.

Geospatial LoB (Managing Partner DoI) 

Many of EPA’s core business processes are associated with actions directed at physical locations (e.g., 

industrial facilities, watersheds, superfund sites), and geospatial capabilities are essential to supporting 

these actions. The Geospatial Line of Business initiative can improve EPA’s business processes by 

providing better and more cost effective access to geospatial data, services, and applications. 

EPA strongly supports the completion of the 34 geospatial framework data sets listed in A-16 by the 

assigned data stewards. While EPA is not one of the A-16 data stewards, these framework data sets are 

needed to enhance EPA’s ability to make environmental decisions, and every EPA Region and most EPA 

National Program Offices currently use some of these 34 data sets. These key data sets are important to 

many EPA programmatic analyses. 

EPA will also benefit through the Geospatial LoB goal of developing federal approaches for delivery, 

maintenance, and access services for these 34 data layers. By establishing direct access to data and 

services, EPA can avoid potentially unnecessary costs in data storage and application development, and 

focus instead on improving the quality of data. In summary, EPA will directly benefit from Geospatial 

LoB’s efforts to set priorities, expedite the completion of these 34 base layers, and provide new services.

Grants Management LoB (Managing Partners HHS and NSF) 

EPA manages 6,288 grant awards in over 90 programs equaling approximately $4.1 billion annually to

USA Services (Managing Partner GSA) 

The Public Buildings Service at GSA awarded a task order under GSA's Federal Citizen Information Center 

IDIQ contract program. Award was made in September 2008. The USA Services Contact Center provides 

multi-portal access to citizen information and services through several channels: 

• Using an 800 number service vs. in person service or disruption of main line employees can be 

substantial; 

• Consolidating calls to one location removes duplication in services and central availability of 

information increased efficiency and quality of information dissemination; and 

• The IVR system creates savings vs. avoided calls at a very low $0.04 cost per call. 

GSA is also participating in USA Services’ Tier One contact center service, which offers substantial savings 

for the participating agencies that would otherwise rely on their own more costly and less prepared 

employees to take, to possibly research, and to respond to citizens. This Tier One service saved 

participating agencies a total of $1,098,586 by answering calls and e-mails on behalf of agencies in FY 

2008.

• Contact center savings: Due to the use of Business.gov and Forms.gov a decrease in 

misdirected calls is expected resulting in cost savings for GSA. 

• Maintenance savings: Business.gov’s search technology will provide GSA with valuable user 

statistics and feedback, enabling it to simplify content management on its business 

compliance site. 

• Cost and time savings: Businesses looking for GSA compliance regulations can save time and 

money by going to Business.gov. In FY 2008, 74 percent of Business.gov users who 

responded to the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) survey reported saving time 

at an average of nearly 10 hours per user, totaling 3,960,269 hours; 55 percent of survey 

respondents also reported saving money at an average of $753 per user. 

• Increased forms management: By making 69 forms available on Forms.gov, GSA saves 

agency time in forms management, and is expected to produce significant savings in paper 

and postage. GSA forms were accessed via Forms.gov 48,892 times in FY 2008. 

• Increased exposure: Business.gov houses numerous compliance links providing cross-agency 

effectiveness to American businesses. In FY 2008, Business.gov directed 30,856 visits to GSA 

sites. 

• Regulatory compliance: The Business.gov website enables GSA to comply with the reporting 

requirement for the Small Business Paperwork Relief Act (SBPRA) and is also consistent with 

the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (SBREFA), which called on 

federal regulatory agencies to publish small business guides that assist small firms in 

complying with, and answer small businesses’ inquiries about federal regulations. 

• Reduced burden on field offices: By directing compliance-related inquiries to Business.gov, 

agencies with field offices will save training and staff-time dollars. 

• Data harmonization: BG is in a unique position to support data harmonization efforts 

indirectly through its content partnerships with various government agencies. GSA has the 

opportunity to identify and realize data harmonization benefits in many areas, such as 

cyberspace security. 

Furthermore, GSA has been a key partner to BG by assisting in the management of Forms.gov and the 

Forms Catalog. BG's online Forms are instrumental in reducing burden and helping businesses find and 

submit forms. The Forms Catalog also helps GSA coordinate and manage government forms internally 

across the government. The Forms Catalog currently receives between 150,000 and 320,000 unique visits 

per month, contains information on over 6,300 unique forms, and engages 55 agencies through its 

connectivity to the ROCIS application to actively populate the catalog. 

Federal Asset Sales (Managing Partner GSA) 

The Federal Asset Sales (FAS) initiative manages a one-stop online marketplace for federal agencies to 

sell government surplus, retail, seized, and forfeited assets. FAS, through www.govsales.gov, enables the 

general public to search for personal property and real property assets for sale across the Federal 

government through a single online marketplace, regardless of whether the item is available online or 

offline via live auction. 

For GSA, FAS provides a standardized mechanism to list and inventory government surplus property. 

Additionally, FAS enables GSA and contributing bureaus with limited resources to leverage economies of 

scale to reach a broader customer base and receive greater exposure of their assets.

Internal Efficiency and Effectiveness Portfolio 

E-Gov Travel (Managing Partner GSA) 

GSA migrated its travel services to Carlson Wagonlit Government Travel, one of the three designated EGov Travel Service (ETS) providers, in Q3 FY 2006. GSA completed deployment in FY 2007 and is 

realizing the following benefits: 

• Increased cost savings associated with overall reduction in Travel Management Center 

transaction service fees; 

• Improved strategic source pricing through cross-government purchasing agreements; 

• Improved business process functionality as a result of streamlined travel policies and processes; 

• Enhanced security and privacy controls for the protection of government and personal data; and 

• Improved agency oversight and audit capabilities. 

Through a combination of advantageous travel management center pricing and a substantially higher 

degree of online booking engine usage (36 percent), GSA and Supply and Technology Activities saved 

over $400,000 in travel management service fees for reservations in FY 2008 when compared to pre-ETS 

pricing and online usage. 

Integrated Acquisition Environment (Managing Partner GSA) 

Through adoption of the tools and services provided by the Integrated Acquisition Environment (IAE), 

GSA improves its ability to make informed and efficient purchasing decisions and allows it to replace 

manual processes. If it were not possible for GSA to use the IAE systems, they would need to build and 

maintain separate systems to record vendor and contract information, and to post procurement 

opportunities. Agency purchasing officials would not have access to databases of important information 

from other agencies on vendor performance and could not use systems to replace paper-based and 

labor-intensive work efforts. GSA is the managing partner for IAE and the system steward for the 

Excluded Parties List System, Federal Business Opportunities, and the Federal Procurement Data System 

– Next Generation. These systems allow consolidated postings of federal procurement opportunities and 

recordings of federal procurement transactions. Through these common systems, GSA is better able to 

track and report on purchasing activities across federal agencies and ensure conformance with the 

Federal Acquisition Regulations. For FY 2008, GSA received estimated benefits of $14,415,354 based 

upon the processes, personnel, roles, steps, and actions involved. In addition, the agency realized an 

estimated cost avoidance of $496,211 and estimated operational cost savings of $2,707,002.

The IAE includes, but is not limited to, the following components: 

• Central Contractor Registration (CCR): Provides GSA with a single source of trading partner 

data. CCR Tools enable GSA access to current socioeconomic and financial information as needed 

for its contractors without maintenance. Public Building Services (PBS) at GSA alone was able to 

leverage CCR from 12 different vendor files to updating to a single source of information. 

o The automated collection and management of CCR-type vendor data for its intended 

purposes is estimated to avoid the equivalent of 0.9 man-hours per award transaction 

based upon the processes, personnel, roles, steps, and actions involved. 

o Trading Partners: Enables trading partners to provide required information into a central 

database for use across the federal enterprise instead of submitting to each Government 

office. 

• Excluded Parties List System (EPLS): List of parties excluded from receiving federal 

contracts and benefits under non-procurement programs. Access to EPLS via standard internet 

browser enables GSA to search for excluded parties prior to contract award. GSA was charged 

with the statutory responsibility to collect excluded party information and publish this information 
138 

in a catalog. With the introduction of EPLS, GSA was able to allow agencies to update a single 

data source of excluded parties electronically without needing to duplicate and transmit through 

a paper process and GSA eliminated the need to publish quarterly a paper catalog.

o The automated collection and management of EPLS-type data for its intended purposes 

is estimated to avoid the equivalent of 0.2 man-hours per subject award transaction 

based upon the processes, personnel, roles, steps, and actions involved.

o Public / Federal Security: Enables the elimination of parties excluded from receiving 

contract awards or benefits under non-procurement programs, which protects the tax 

payers' investment with federal contract and other spending. Users include banks and 

mortgage companies.

• Electronic Subcontracting Reporting System (eSRS): Provides subcontract reporting. eSRS 

automates collection and management of Individual Subcontract Reports (Formally SF-294) and 

Summary Subcontract Reports (Formally SF-295) data for GSA. In addition, eSRS has allowed 

FAS at GSA to discontinue its back office application. 

o The automated collection and management of eSRS-type data for the SF-294 and SF-295 

for its intended purposes is estimated to avoid the equivalent of 0.3 government manhours per subject award transaction that requires subcontracting plans based upon the 

processes, personnel, roles, steps, and actions involved. 

o Small Business / Prime Contractors: Provides an automated filing and reporting capability 

for contractors using sub-contractors ensuring proper sub-contractor usage. 

• Federal Business Opportunity (FBO): Source for contracting opportunities. FBO enables the 

GSA to automate management of the competitive notice processes. 

o Cost avoidance is realized by eliminating time delays, labor, supplies/resource usage, 

equipment wear, & expenditures related to: printing, photocopying, ink & paper usage, 

postage, maintenance of interested vendor lists, mailing, correction of mailing addresses, 

settling disagreements over wrong mailings, investigation of returned non-deliveries of 

notices, etc. The automated management of the competitive notice processes is 

estimated to avoid the equivalent of 5.5 government man-hours per subject transaction 

based upon the processes, personnel, roles, steps, and actions involved. 

o Small Business / Contractors: Enables contractors and small businesses access to federal 

solicitations using standard internet browser capabilities and provides an e-mail 

notification process for new postings. This further eliminates the need to check websites 

from every contracting office for bidding opportunities. 

• Federal Technical Documents System (FedTeDS): In FY 2008, FedTeDS services were 

incorporated into FBO. FedTeDS functionality controls access to secure but unclassified 

documents. FedTeds provides GSA with a secure service for storage and distribution of secure 

but unclassified documents for solicitations. In the case of GSA’s Public Buildings Service, 

FedTeDs has eliminated the need for expensive extranets and Drawing and Bid rooms for current 

and future building projects. 

o Cost avoidance is realized by eliminating time delays, labor, supplies/resource usage, 

equipment wear, & expenditures related to: printing, photocopying, ink & paper usage, 

postage, maintenance of interested vendor lists, mailing, correction of mailing addresses, 

settling disagreements over wrong mailings, investigation of returned non-deliveries of 

notices, etc. The automated management of the processes is estimated to avoid labor 

equivalent to 2.5 government man-hours per subject transaction based upon the 

processes, personnel, roles, steps, and actions involved. 

o Public / Federal Security: Provides a secure facility to protect secure but unclassified 

technical documentation related to solicitations. 
139 

• Federal Procurement Data System-Next Generation (FPDS-NG): Supplies contract award 

data. FPDS-NG provides GSA with an automated capability to directly report awards real time 

from the GSA contract writing systems and extract reports of award data on demand. As with 

DHS, FPDS-FG has provided GSA with an ability to report and track contract accomplishments in 

response to National Interest Actions covered by the Stafford Act, a standard approach to 

meeting its regulatory responsibility under the Demonstration Test Program, and the visibility on 

GSA’s leasing program. 

o Discontinue the GSA feeder system and facilitate real time reporting integrated with 

agency contract writing systems. 

o Congress/Public: Automates the dissemination of contract award data and incorporates 

public access. 

• Online Representation and Certification (ORCA): Replaces most of the paper-based 

Representations and Certifications in Section K of solicitations to GSA with an Internet 

application. 

o ORCA efficiencies compared to the equivalent manual management of the necessary 

representations and certifications for subject transactions are estimated to avoid the 

equivalent of 1.2 government man-hours each based upon the processes, personnel, 

roles, steps, and actions involved. 

o Contractors: Reduces time, cost and inaccuracies for contractors responding to federal 

solicitations. ORCA generally provides for a single annual submission to replace the 

previous repetitive input in every solicitation. 

• Wage Determination Online (WDOL): Provides service Contract Act & Davis Bacon Act labor 

rates. WDOL makes available the most current labor rates to GSA for services and construction 

programs. 

o In FY 2008, there were totals of 615,264 SCA wage determinations and 688,307 DBA 

wage determinations made on WDOL. 

o Cost avoidance is realized by eliminating time delays, labor, supplies/resource usage, 

equipment wear, and expenditures related to: printing, photocopying, ink & paper usage, 

and postage for corresponding with contractors. The automated management of the 

processes is estimated to avoid labor equivalent to 1.5 government man-hours per wage 

determination request based upon the processes, personnel, roles, steps, and actions 

involved. 

o Public: Ensures that appropriate labor rates are included in a contract for the labor 

categories specified in the Service Contract Act and Davis-Bacon Act. 

Cross-Cutting Portfolio 

E-Authentication (Managing Partner GSA) 

The E-Authentication initiative has been managed by the E-Authentication Program Management Office 

(PMO) within the Federal Acquisition Service Division of GSA. GSA has re-evaluated the approach to 

meeting the E-Authentication initiative’s objectives and determined that the current structure of the 

program will change in FY 2009 to better achieve these objectives.

Lines of Business 

Budget Formulation and Execution LoB (Managing Partner ED) 

BFE LoB provides significant benefits to partner agencies by encouraging best practices across all aspects 

of federal budgeting – from budget formulation and execution to performance to collaboration to human 

capital needs. 

To benefit all agencies, including GSA, BFE LoB continues to support Department of Treasury as the 

system owner in the advancement of the Budget Formulation and Execution Manager (BFEM), the first 

shared fee-for-service budget formulation system. With support from BFE LoB, Treasury/BFEM made 

available a new Performance Measure Manager (PMM) module in early 2008. This module allows users to 

automate the definition, collection, and reporting of all types of performance measures. The BFEM system 

is an option for GSA’s budget formulation or performance measurement needs. In 2009, Treasury/BFEM 

plans to integrate PMM with OMB’s Program Assessment Rating Tool system and begin work on 

automating the transfer of apportionment data from BFEM to OMB's MAX system. 

To help agencies assess their budget systems requirements, BFE LoB created a decision matrix and 

recently evaluated nine budget systems against the matrix. This evaluation is available for all agencies to 

use and provides cost savings to agencies by eliminating the need for agencies to review this many 

systems individually. GSA may benefit from using this matrix as a starting point in determining specific 

system needs and determining a short list of the available systems to best meet its requirements. In 

2009, BFE LoB will research the possibilities for additional fee-for-service budget systems. 

BFE LoB’s “MAX Federal Community,” a secure government-only collaborative website, provides 

significant benefits for collaboration across and within agencies, as well as knowledge management. It is 

used within the budget community, as well as other related communities such as Grants, Financial 

Management, Performance, E-Government, and more. GSA currently has 246 users registered for the 

MAX Federal Community. The MAX Community site is commonly used for sharing information, 

collaboratively drafting documents (including the direct-editing of documents posted on the site), 

supporting workgroups, submitting central reports, and much more. GSA also has the option to use BFE 

LoB’s online meeting tool for GSA budget meetings. Enhancements to both tools will continue in 2009 as 

these technologies advance. 

GSA may choose to use BFE LoB’s "Touchpoints" document and budget execution process maps to 

improve its own agency interactions between budget execution and financial management. BFE LoB will 

continue to work toward more automated data exchange to improve data quality in these areas. 

BFE LoB’s Human Capital Federal Budget Core Competency Framework is a resource for GSA to use in its 

internal workforce planning initiatives. BFE LoB plans to continue to expand this framework in 2009. 

Financial Management LoB (Managing Partner GSA)

FM LoB enables GSA to leverage its information technology and financial processing expertise to provide 

services to additional federal agencies. The General Services Administration’s Federal Integrated Solutions 

Center (FISC) is one of the four Federal Shared Service Providers. FISC hosts financial systems and 

business operations for over 43 external executive branch agencies, boards, and commissions, and one 

legislative branch agency. As GSA’s customer base continues to grow, the agency can create additional 

economies of scale and use the growth to gain leverage with the financial management software vendor 

community. GSA will be able to contribute to the cost savings that will be recognized through the 

reduction of redundant costs. This is the result of using standard business processes and a common 

system configuration promoted by FM LoB. 
141 

Geospatial LoB (Managing Partner DoI) 

GSA is expecting to benefit from Geospatial LoB’s coordinated approach to producing, maintaining, and 

using geospatial data within the Federal government. This approach will allow GSA to review and 

potentially leverage existing geospatial data created by the managing partner agency (Department of 

Interior) and initiative partner agencies, rather than initiating potentially redundant business-driven 

geospatial analysis within the agency. GSA’s participation and collaboration with the Geospatial LoB 

closely supports the agency’s mission of helping “federal agencies better serve the public by offering, at 

best value, superior workplaces, expert solutions, acquisition services, and management policies." While 

Geospatial LoB was initiated relatively recently in FY 2006, the collaborative approach of the managing 

partner is likely to facilitate additional benefits in the coming years as the LoB establishes itself within the 

federal community. 

Human Resources Management LoB (Managing Partner OPM) 

Although GSA is not an approved shared service provider, the agency provides HR services for many 

small agencies and themselves. Agencies serviced by GSA can reap the benefits of “best-in-class” HR 

solutions and offer their employees improved HR services without the costs of developing and 

maintaining their own HR systems. GSA’s involvement in HR LoB allows the agency to utilize governmentwide HR solutions, as well as access lessons learned and best practices developed by the task force and 

other agencies. 

IT Infrastructure LoB (Managing Partner GSA) 

The IT Infrastructure LoB (ITI LoB) will assist GSA in meeting one of the core missions of the GSA 

Federal Acquisition Service – to provide government clients with efficient and effective services at the 

best commercial prices available. The initiative benefits GSA through improved IT performance, greater 

efficiencies in IT infrastructure investments, and consistency and standardization of infrastructure 

platforms. ITI LoB will provide GSA with best practice data and industry-wide performance metrics to 

validate and/or improve existing performance. 

GSA’s participation in this program will result in higher service levels at a more effective cost. Large 

government purchases will establish a baseline for GSA related acquisitions that will prove valuable when 

negotiating prices for hardware and software. A 10-15 percent gain in productivity is expected because of 

this program. 

GSA expects to realize significant benefit in improved mission delivery. The bulk of this activity will come 

as a result of an enhanced infrastructure that takes advantage of direct electronic interface with GSA 

customers. Infrastructure certification and accreditation will be significantly enhanced above what it is 

today. At least a 20-25 percent improvement in mission delivery is expected by taking advantage of this 

program. Enhanced infrastructure performance will directly result in improved mission delivery to the 

public. 
142 

National Aeronautical and Space Administration 

The E-Government initiatives serve citizens, businesses, and Federal and state government employees by 

delivering high quality services more efficiently at a lower price. Instead of expensive “stove-piped” 

operations, agencies work together to develop common solutions which achieve mission requirements at 

reduced cost, thereby making resources available for higher priority needs. 

The National Aeronautical and Space Administration (NASA) is providing funding in FY 

2009 to the following E-Government Initiatives: 

Government to Business Portfolio 

 Business Gateway

Benefits realized through the use of these initiatives are as follows: 

Government to Business Portfolio 

Business Gateway (Managing Partner SBA)

Business Gateway (BG) provides a valuable channel for NASA to identify businesses with the interest and 

expertise to engage in technological development and partnerships. NASA provides a host of programs 

focused on business from research contracts to Mentor/Protégé programs. BG provides a powerful 

outreach channel to match businesses with the various initiatives that are part of NASA’s outreach to the 

business community. 

By creating a single portal for business information, such as regulatory compliance information BG 

directly benefits NASA’s stakeholders, including aerospace industry and research labs – many of whom 

are subject to complex regulatory requirements across multiple agencies.

NASA’s stakeholders can potentially receive significant benefits from BG. These benefits are outlined 

below. Through increased outreach, more constituents will be able to realize these benefits. 

• Maintenance savings: Business.gov’s search technology will provide NASA with valuable user 

statistics and feedback, enabling it to simplify content management on its business 

compliance site. 

• Cost and time savings: Businesses looking for NASA compliance regulations can save time 

and money by going to Business.gov. In FY 2008, 74 percent of Business.gov users who 

responded to the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) survey reported saving time 

at an average of nearly 10 hours per user, totaling 3,960,269 hours; 55 percent of survey 

respondents also reported saving money at an average of $753 per user. 

• Increased forms management: By making eight forms available on Forms.gov, NASA saves 

agency time in forms management, and is expected to produce significant savings in paper 

and postage. NASA forms were accessed via Forms.gov 4,643 times in FY 2008. 
143 

• Increased exposure: Business.gov houses numerous compliance links providing cross-agency 

effectiveness to American businesses. In FY 2008, Business.gov directed 87 visits to NASA 

sites. 

• Increased transparency: BG enables NASA to meet its public service commitment to 

transparency in government by providing its customers with ready, equal access to 

information about its compliance requirements. 

• Regulatory compliance: The Business.gov website enables NASA to comply with the reporting 

requirement for the Small Business Paperwork Relief Act (SBPRA) and is also consistent with 

the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (SBREFA), which called on 

federal regulatory agencies to publish small business guides that assist small firms in 

complying with, and answer small businesses’ inquiries about federal regulations. 

• Reduced burden on field offices: By directing compliance-related inquiries to Business.gov, 

agencies with field offices will save training and staff-time dollars. 

• Data harmonization: BG is in a unique position to support data harmonization efforts 

indirectly through its content partnerships with various government agencies. NASA has the 

opportunity to identify and realize data harmonization benefits in many areas, such as the 

protection of cutting-edge technologies. 

Government to Government Portfolio 

Grants.gov (Managing Partner HHS) 

NASA is a federal grant making agency which processes and issues grants. The Grants.gov initiative 

benefits NASA and its grant programs by providing broader exposure to a wider community who could 

potentially apply for NASA funding. In addition, Grants.gov provides a single site for the grantee 

community to apply for grants using a standard set of forms, processes and systems giving greater 

access and ability to apply for federal funding. In FY 2008, NASA posted 94 funding opportunities and 89 

application packages, and received 302 proposals. 

Internal Efficiency and Effectiveness Portfolio 

Integrated Acquisition Environment - Loans and Grants (Managing Partner GSA) 

All agencies participating in the posting and/or awarding of Loans & Grants are required by the Federal 

Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA) to disclose award information on a publicly 

accessible website. Cross-government cooperation with OMB’s Integrated Acquisition Environment 

initiative allows agencies to meet the requirements of the FFATA by assigning a unique identifier, 

determining corporate hierarchy, and validating and cleaning up incorrect or incomplete data. The FFATA 

enhances transparency of federal program performance information, funding, and loans & grants 

solicitation.

Budget Formulation and Execution LoB (Managing Partner ED) 

BFE LoB provides significant benefits to partner agencies by encouraging best practices all aspects of 

federal budgeting – from budget formulation and execution to performance to collaboration to human 

capital needs. 

To benefit all agencies, BFE LoB continues to support Department of Treasury as the system owner in the 

advancement of the Budget Formulation and Execution Manager (BFEM), the first shared fee-for-service 

budget formulation system. With support from BFE LoB, Treasury/BFEM made available a new 

Performance Measure Manager (PMM) module in early 2008. This module allows users to automate the

to integrate PMM with OMB’s Program Assessment Rating Tool system and begin work on automating the 
144 

transfer of apportionment data from BFEM to OMB's MAX system. NASA may benefit by sharing 

experiences and lessons learned with BFEM. 

To help agencies assess their budget systems requirements, BFE LoB created a decision matrix and 

recently evaluated nine budget systems against the matrix. NASA has been and continues to be a leader 

in federal budget automation. NASA’s budget system was one of the nine systems evaluated. This 

evaluation is available for all agencies to use and provides cost savings to agencies by eliminating the 

need for agencies to review this many systems individually. NASA may benefit from using this information 

to determine areas for improvements in its own budget system. In 2009, BFE LoB will research the 

possibilities for additional fee-for-service budget systems. 

BFE LoB’s “MAX Federal Community,” a secure government-only collaborative website, provides 

significant benefits for collaboration across and within agencies, as well as knowledge management. It is 

used within the budget community, as well as other related communities such as Grants, Financial

Financial Management LoB (Managing Partner GSA) 

NASA will realize the following benefits through participation in FM LoB and usage of a FM Shared Service 

Provider (SSP): 

• Cost Savings; 

• Minimizing Risk: SSP customers will be able to minimize risk by implementing and using financial 

systems that are already operating with standard operating procedures; 

• Avoiding Duplicate Operational Costs: Reducing redundant costs by using standard business 

processes and a common system software certified by the Financial System Integration Office in 

the General Services Administration; and 

• Facilitating Best Practices/Standardization: Key tools such as a Request for Proposal framework 

and Service Level Agreement guides will be provided to NASA to help in the development of 

agency agreements with SSPs. 

Geospatial LoB (Managing Partner DoI) 

As a funding partner, NASA can look forward to returns on investments from the Geospatial LoB initiative 

through increased efficiency and synergy across the government. Geospatial LoB aims to further refine 

the opportunities for optimizing and consolidating federal geospatial-related investments to reduce the 

cost of government and, at the same time, improve services to citizens. Cross-agency coordination of 

geospatial activities can identify, consolidate, and reduce or eliminate redundant geospatial investments. 

Developing the Geospatial Line of Business will result in a more coordinated approach to producing, 

maintaining, and using geospatial data, and will ensure sustainable participation from federal partners to 

establish a collaborative model for geospatial-related activities and investments. 
145 

Grants Management LoB (Managing Partners HHS and NSF) 

NASA manages 2,449 grant awards equaling approximately $850 million annually. NASA joined the 

National Science Foundation's Research.gov Consortium and anticipates the key benefit will be having a 

centralized location for the research community to track awards to closeout, locate policy, news and 

events, and results of research. In addition, the GM LoB Consortium lead agencies will spread operations 

and maintenance costs, and development, modernization, and enhancement costs across agencies, 

decreasing the burden that any one agency must bear. 

 

NASA and the grantee community have benefited from participation in GM LoB by having greater visibility 

into the research efforts awarded by NASA. Furthermore, the implementation of the Research 

Performance Progress Reports and other standard post-award reports will help to decrease the number of 

unique agency-specific reporting requirements. 

Human Resources Management LoB (Managing Partner OPM) 

NASA benefits through its use of best-in-class HR services and systems provided by one of the approved 

service providers, the Department of Interior’s National Business Center. Through its adoption of an 

approved service provider, NASA can achieve the benefits of “best-in-class” HR solutions and offer 

employees across the agency improved HR services without the costs of developing and maintaining its 

own HR systems. NASA’s participation in HR LoB allows the agency to utilize government-wide HR 

solutions, as well as access lessons learned and best practices developed by the task force and other 

agencies.

Geospatial LoB (Managing Partner DoI) 

The building of records management functions into Geospatial LoB’s Common Solutions and Target 

Architecture will greatly benefit NARA because agencies will be better able to schedule, appraise, store, 

protect, classify, and transfer to NARA their geospatial data and information. Geospatial LoB provides 

NARA the opportunity to work with the Federal Geographic Data Committee and the Geospatial LoB’s 

Program Management Office to assist agencies in utilizing standardized language, to ensure that they can 

assert the government's rights in geospatial data. Future contracts also should address the government's 

rights to reuse, share, and provide secondary access to geospatial data acquired from multiple sources. 

Grants Management LoB (Managing Partner NSF & HHS) 

NARA manages approximately 250 grant awards equaling in excess of $16.8 million. NARA’s applicant 

community spans state and local government agencies, Native American tribal governments, colleges and 

universities, and non-profit organizations. Within these sectors, NARA’s community specifically comprises 

records managers, archivists, documentary editors, and related professionals and scholars.

NARA remains actively engaged in the goals of the Grants Management Line of Business (GM LoB). In FY 

2008, NARA formalized its approved strategic partnership with the National Endowment for the 

Humanities (NEH). Through this partnership which began in FY 2006, NEH provides NARA with a 

customized instance of its Grants Management System (GMS) and related technical services. The 

partnership realizes GM LoB goals of aligning like-business practices across agency lines, and enabling 

economies of scale. The National Endowment for the Arts also joined this partnership in 2008. 

This partnership allows NARA to effectively use Grants.gov as its sole portal for accepting grant 

applications. Through a system to system interface, NARA is able to directly ingest applications into its 

back-office system. Moreover, the NEH strategic partnership offers NARA staff a central hub for reviewing 

grant applications and managing the peer-review process, making final recommendations for grant 

funding and making grant awards, managing and closing awards, and fulfilling reporting obligations. 

NARA’s applicant community enjoys the benefit of the uniformity of Grants.gov for receiving grant 

announcements and for submitting applications. Streamlined workflows created by NARA’s GM LoB 

strategic partnership also mean that successful applicants experience shorter turn-around times in the 

issuance of official documents. 

The most significant cost-savings to NARA stems from the low cost of GMS relative to systems offered by 

other GM LoB Consortia. At less than $25,000 in annual costs, GMS saves more than $100,000 annually 

as compared to the least expensive grants Consortium system presently in place. Savings as compared to 

other, more expensive Consortia or developing a stand-alone system are even greater. 

Other areas of cost savings and cost avoidance include: Cost savings and avoidance related to file 

storage costs total $1,000 annually; reduced staff and material costs save $11,500 annually; electronic 

transfer and exchange of applications save $1,200 annually; organizational costs associated with greater 

uniformity in internal processes and forms are reduced $2,000 annually.

Government to Business Portfolio 

Business Gateway (Managing Partner SBA)

By creating a single portal for business information, such as regulatory compliance information Business 

Gateway directly benefits NSF’s stakeholders, including research firms and universities – many of whom 

are subject to complex regulatory requirements across multiple agencies.

NSF’s stakeholders can potentially receive significant benefits from Business Gateway. These benefits are 

outlined below. Through increased outreach, more constituents will be able to realize these benefits. 

• Maintenance savings: Business.gov’s search technology will provide NSF with valuable user 

statistics and feedback, enabling it to simplify content management on its business 

compliance site. 

• Cost and time savings: Businesses looking for NSF compliance regulations can save time and 

money by going to Business.gov. In FY 2008, 74 percent of Business.gov users who 

responded to the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) survey reported saving time 

at an average of nearly 10 hours per user, totaling 3,960,269 hours; 55 percent of survey 

respondents also reported saving money at an average of $753 per user. 

• Increased forms management: By making 20 forms available on Forms.gov, NSF saves 

agency time in forms management, and is expected to produce significant savings in paper 

and postage. NSF forms were accessed via Forms.gov 13,242 times in FY 2008. 

• Increased exposure: Business.gov houses numerous NSF compliance links providing crossagency effectiveness to American businesses. In FY 2008, Business.gov directed 200 visits to 

NSF sites. 

• Data harmonization: Business Gateway is in a unique position to support data harmonization 

efforts indirectly through its content partnerships with various government agencies. NSF has 

the opportunity to identify and realize data harmonization benefits in many areas, such as 

protecting the security of emerging technologies.

Government to Government Portfolio 

Grants.gov (Managing Partner HHS)

The Grants.gov initiative provides grant applicants with a single source to search and apply for funding 

opportunities from all federal grant-making agencies using common forms, processes, and systems. With 

NSF’s full implementation of Grants.gov, the research community can now find and apply for NSF funding 

opportunities on Grants.gov as well as through NSF’s FastLane website. 

 

NSF has not identified or reported savings resulting from its use of Grants.gov. However, NSF recognizes 

the benefits that Grants.gov provides to the research community through use of standardized 

terminology, application forms and electronic submission processes. NSF has leveraged Grants.gov in the 

development of five agency specific forms (of which only 2 are required) and has used them 100 percent 

of the time; NSF uses government-wide forms 100 percent of the time for its application packages. 

In FY 2008, NSF published 137 funding opportunities on Grants.gov and published associated application 

packages for 135 of those opportunities. NSF received 1,297 electronic applications through Grants.gov in 

FY 2008.

Integrated Acquisition Environment - Loans and Grants (Managing Partner GSA) 

All agencies participating in the posting and/or awarding of Loans & Grants are required by the Federal 

Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA) to disclose award information on a publicly 

accessible website. Cross-government cooperation with OMB’s Integrated Acquisition Environment 

initiative allows agencies to meet the requirements of the FFATA by assigning a unique identifier, 

determining corporate hierarchy, and validating and cleaning up incorrect or incomplete data. The FFATA 

enhances transparency of federal program performance information, funding, and loans & grants 

solicitation. 

Lines of Business 

Budget Formulation and Execution LoB (Managing Partner ED) 

NSF has realized significant benefits from the BFE LoB’s leadership in encouraging best practices across 

all aspects of federal budgeting – from budget formulation and execution to performance to collaboration 

to human capital needs. 

 

To help agencies assess, document, and communicate their budget systems requirements, BFE LoB 

created a decision matrix and recently evaluated nine budget systems against the matrix. This evaluation 

is available for all agencies to use and provides cost savings to agencies by eliminating the need for 

agencies to review these systems individually. NSF has used this matrix as a starting point in defining and 

prioritizing specific system needs. 

 

NSF has also used the BFE LoB’s “MAX Federal Community” to foster agency-wide collaboration. The 

community is a secure government-only collaborative website that provides significant benefits for 

collaboration across and within agencies, as well as knowledge management. It is used within the budget 

community, as well as other related communities such as Grants, Financial Management, Performance, EGovernment, and more. NSF currently has 111 users registered for the MAX Federal Community. The 

MAX Community site is commonly used for sharing information, collaboratively drafting documents 

(including the direct-editing of documents posted on the site), supporting workgroups, submitting central 

reports, and much more. NSF also has the option to use BFE LoB’s online meeting tool for NSF budget 

meetings. A new BFE LoB tool, the MAX eBriefing Collection Tool, will provide the ability to collect 

questions for the record, general questions and answers for the Hill inquiries, and briefing book 
150 

information. Enhancements to the MAX Federal Community and the online meeting tool, as well as 

incorporation of the new MAX eBriefing Collection tool will continue in 2009 as these technologies 

advance. 

 

NSF has also used BFE LoB’s "Touchpoints" document and budget execution process maps to assess 

interactions between budget execution and financial management. BFE LoB will continue to work toward 

more automated data exchange to improve data quality in these areas. 

 

BFE LoB’s Human Capital Federal Budget Core Competency Framework is a resource for NSF to use in its 

internal workforce planning initiatives. BFE LoB plans to continue to expand this framework in 2009. 

Financial Management LoB (Managing Partner GSA) 

NSF will realize the following benefits through participation in FM LoB and usage of a FM Shared Service 

Provider (SSP): 

• Cost Savings; 

• Minimizing Risk: New Agency SSP customers reduce costs and risk when migrating onto an 

existing SSP financial system compliant with established standards; 

• Avoiding Duplicate Operational Costs: Reducing redundant costs by using standard business 

processes and a common system software certified by the Financial System Integration Office in 

the General Services Administration; and 

• Facilitating Best Practices/Standardization: Key tools such as a Request for Proposal framework 

and Service Level Agreement guides will be provided to NSF to help in the development of 

agency agreements with SSPs. 

Geospatial LoB (Managing Partner DoI) 

NSF supports basic research across all fields of (non-medical) science through competitive proposals that 

are evaluated using merit-based peer review. To advance its mission, NSF actively participates in 

activities that shape and enhance the scientific enterprise. Although NSF is not currently a provider of a 

geospatial data, it does consider proposals for support of fundamental research that utilizes or enhances 

the value of geospatial information. NSF recognizes the importance of the LoB in establishing a more 

collaborative and performance-oriented culture within the federal geospatial arena that should optimize 

investments in data and technology and yield many long-term benefits to the nation. 

Grants Management LoB (Managing Partners HHS and NSF) 

NSF oversees about 40,000 active awards equaling over $5 billion annually. NSF anticipates the key 

benefit of GM LoB will be having a common place for grantees to track the status of applications, find 

award information, and submit grant progress and financial reports. Automated business processes 

available through Consortia will decrease agency reliance on manual and paper-based processing. GM 

LoB will lead to a reduction in the number of systems of record for grants data across NSF and the 

government and will foster the development of common reporting standards, improving NSF’s ability to 

provide agency- and government-wide reports on grant activities and results. 

As a GM LoB Consortium lead, NSF has developed Research.gov, a Web portal containing governmentwide resources and tools for research institutions to conduct grants business with federal research 

agencies. Research.gov aims to ease the grants administrative burden on applicants and awardees by 

providing a menu of services focused on the needs of research institutions. Research.gov provides: 

• Research Spending and Results Service enabling the general public to search for detailed 

research grant award information including Principal Investigator, Award Abstract, and 

Publication Citations; 

• Research Headlines and Events highlighting research activities from NSF and partner agencies; 
151 

• Policy library providing access to federal and agency-specific policies, guidelines, and procedures; 

• Grants Application Status Service enabling principal investigators and sponsored project office 

staff to check the status of grant applications submitted to participating agencies; 

• Federal Financial Report Service enabling grant recipients to complete and submit grant financial 

reports using the new government-wide federal financial report standard; and 

• Institutions and User Management Service allowing institution administrators to add users and 

managed their profiles. 

By leading the GM LoB Consortium, NSF will receive the following benefits: 

• Avoiding costs related to developing and implementing online grants management services; 

• Supporting federal agencies’ efforts to promote their common research mission; 

• Fulfilling federal mandates (Public Law 106-107, E-Government Act, and the Federal Funding 

Accountability and Transparency Act); and 

• Organizing information into a single access point throughout the grants management business 

process. 

Service to constituents will be improved through the standardization and streamlining of governmentwide grants business processes. The public will receive time savings as a result of quicker notification and 

faster payments due to an automated system for grants processing. Furthermore, GM LoB will minimize 

complex and varying agency-specific requirements and increase grantee ease of use on federal grants 

management systems. Constituents will benefit from having fewer unique agency systems and processes 

to learn; grantees’ will benefit from ease in learning how to use the system and reduced need to rely on 

call center technical support. 

Human Resources Management LoB (Managing Partner OPM) 

NSF benefits through its use of best-in-class HR services and systems provided by one of the approved 

service providers, the Department of Interior’s National Business Center. Through its adoption of an 

approved service provider, NSF can achieve the benefits of “best-in-class” HR solutions and offer 

employees across the agency improved HR services without the costs of developing and maintaining its 

own HR systems. Participation in HR LoB allows NSF to utilize government-wide HR solutions, as well as 

access lessons learned and best practices developed by the task force and other agencies.

Lines of Business 

Budget Formulation and Execution LoB (Managing Partner ED) 

BFE LoB provides significant benefits to partner agencies by encouraging best practices across all aspects 

of federal budgeting – from budget formulation and execution to performance to collaboration to human 

capital needs. 

To benefit all agencies, including NRC, BFE LoB continues to support Department of Treasury as the 

system owner in the advancement of the Budget Formulation and Execution Manager (BFEM), the first 

shared fee-for-service budget formulation system. With support from BFE LoB, Treasury/BFEM made 

available a new Performance Measure Manager (PMM) module in early 2008. This module allows users to 

automate the definition, collection, and reporting of all types of performance measures. The BFEM system 

is an option for NRC’s budget formulation or performance measurement needs. In 2009, Treasury/BFEM 

plans to integrate PMM with OMB’s Program Assessment Rating Tool system and begin work on 

automating the transfer of apportionment data from BFEM to OMB's MAX system. 

To help agencies assess their budget systems requirements, BFE LoB created a decision matrix and 

recently evaluated nine budget systems against the matrix. This evaluation is available for all agencies to 

use and provides cost savings to agencies by eliminating the need for agencies to review this many 

systems individually. NRC may benefit from using this matrix as a starting point in determining specific 

system needs and determining a short list of the available systems to best meet its requirements. In 

2009, BFE LoB will research the possibilities for additional fee-for-service budget systems. 

BFE LoB’s “MAX Federal Community,” a secure government-only collaborative website, provides 

significant benefits for collaboration across and within agencies, as well as knowledge management. It is 

used within the budget community, as well as other related communities such as Grants, Financial 

Management, Performance, E-Government, and more. NRC currently has 62 users registered for the MAX 

Federal Community. The MAX Community site is commonly used for sharing information, collaboratively 

drafting documents (including the direct-editing of documents posted on the site), supporting 

workgroups, submitting central reports, and much more. NRC also has the option to use BFE LoB’s online 

meeting tool for NRC budget meetings. Several bureaus have shown interest and/or taken Collaboration 

training. Enhancements to both tools will continue in 2009 as these technologies advance. 

NRC may choose to use BFE LoB’s "Touchpoints" document and budget execution process maps to 

improve its own agency interactions between budget execution and financial management. BFE LoB will 

continue to work toward more automated data exchange to improve data quality in these areas.

Disaster Assistance Improvement Plan (Managing Partner DHS) 

The Disaster Assistance Improvement Plan (DAIP) is a government-wide effort to improve the delivery of 

disaster assistance all across the Federal government. The initiative includes member agencies which 

have active disaster assistance programs as well as those which do not. While some partner agencies are 

affected less than others in times of a disaster, all are affected in some way. 

OPM was identified by DAIP as providing assistance that is valuable to disaster victims. It supports nondisaster assistance programs and services which reach disaster victims who may be displaced or are 

otherwise out of contact. Participation in DAIP helps to reduce the burden on other federal agencies 

which routinely provide logistical help and other critical management or organizational support during 

disasters. 

In its first year of operation, the DAIP team identified the following Form of Assistance (FOA) within the 

Office of Personnel Management: 

• Category 5 – Forms of assistance providing information and agency resources that may be of 

interest to disaster victims: 

o Federal Retiree Benefits (Office of Personnel Management) 

An independent FOA Validation Study is currently underway for VA to ensure a consistent, replicable 

process for the establishment of a baseline as well as assessing all agency FOAs for inclusion in DAIP.

• Regulatory compliance: The Business.gov website enables OPM to comply with the reporting 

requirement for the Small Business Paperwork Relief Act (SBPRA) and is also consistent with 

the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (SBREFA), which called on 

federal regulatory agencies to publish small business guides that assist small firms in 

complying with, and answer small businesses’ inquiries about federal regulations. 

• Reduced burden on field offices: By directing compliance-related inquiries to Business.gov, 

agencies with field offices will save training and staff-time dollars. 

Internal Efficiency and Effectiveness Portfolio 

Enterprise Human Resources Integration (Managing Partner OPM) 

The mission of OPM is to ensure the Federal government has an effective civilian workforce. One of the 

many things OPM must do to accomplish this goal is enhance Federal employees’ ability to access their 

respective human resource (HR) records. This initiative benefits OPM by providing immediate and secure 

access to personnel records via the Internet 24-hours a day. Streamlining HR processes such as 

employee transfers, retirements, and separations reduces dependencies on costly and inefficient paperbased HR processes. The initiative benefits employees because it ensures faster transfer of employment 

information and gives access to their own personal HR data. This improves data and integrity because it 

allows employees to self-validate information contained in their files.

during disasters. 

SBA has had a long-term, collaborative relationship with DHS/FEMA in providing disaster-related 

assistance. In its first year of operation, the DAIP team identified the following Forms of Assistance (FOA) 

within the SBA: 

• Category 1 – Disaster-related forms of assistance centrally administered at the federal level: 

o Business Disaster Loans (Office of Disaster Assistance) 

o Home and Property Disaster Loans (Office of Disaster Assistance)

Business Gateway (Managing Partner SBA)

SBA’s mission – to “maintain and strengthen the nation's economy by aiding, counseling, assisting and 

protecting the interests of small businesses and by helping families and businesses recover from national 
158 

disasters” – is inextricably tied to the Business Gateway (BG) mission of 

providing the nation’s businesses with easier access to information and tools to 

reduce burden and help businesses comply with government regulations. 

A key rationale for building the BG is to fulfill the statutory mission of SBA to 

help small businesses succeed by creating a more approachable, responsive, 

and accessible government. SBA's goal, as managing partner of the program, is 

to use the internet to improve the service, efficiency, and effectiveness of 

business operations, and to transform government into an innovative, reliable, 

trustworthy and citizen-centered partner. 

By creating a single portal for business information, such as regulatory 

compliance information BG directly benefits SBA’s stakeholders – entrepreneurs, 

small businesses and associations – many of whom are subject to complex 

regulatory requirements across multiple agencies.

SBA’s stakeholders can potentially receive significant benefits from BG. These benefits are outlined below. 

Through increased outreach, more constituents will be able to realize these benefits. 

• Contact center savings: Due to the use of Business.gov and Forms.gov a decrease in 

misdirected calls is expected resulting in cost savings for SBA. 

• Maintenance savings: Business.gov’s search technology will provide SBA with valuable user

nearly 10 hours per user, totaling 3,960,269 hours; 55 percent of survey respondents also 

reported saving money at an average of $753 per user. 

• Increased forms management: By making 75 forms available on Forms.gov, SBA saves 

agency time in forms management, and is expected to produce significant savings in paper 

and postage. SBA forms were accessed via Forms.gov 269,398 times in FY 2008. 

• Increased exposure: Business.gov houses numerous SBA compliance links providing crossagency effectiveness to American businesses. In FY 2008, Business.gov directed 218,522 

visits to SBA sites. 

• Regulatory compliance: BG enables SBA to comply with the reporting requirement for the 

Small Business Paperwork Relief Act (SBPRA). It also helps SBA to comply with the Energy 

Independence and Security Act of 2007, which required SBA to establish a Small Business 

Energy Efficiency Program. In April 2008, BG partnered with SBA and the EnergyStar 

program to publish an Energy Efficiency Guide for Small Businesses. The guide has been 

viewed over 60,000 times since it was published. 

• Reduced burden on field offices: By directing compliance-related inquiries to Business.gov, 

agencies with field offices will save training and staff-time dollars. 

• Data harmonization: BG is in a unique position to support data harmonization efforts 

indirectly through its content partnerships with various government agencies. SBA has the 

opportunity to identify and realize data harmonization benefits in many areas, such as 

economic information gathering and revenue adjustments.

build and maintain separate systems to record vendor and contract information, and to post procurement 

opportunities. Agency purchasing officials would not have access to databases of important information 

from other agencies on vendor performance and could not use systems to replace paper-based and 

labor-intensive work efforts. SBA currently hosts the Electronic Subcontracting Reporting System for the 

Federal government as part of the IAE initiative. This system provides a single point of collection for 

subcontracting reporting data across the Federal government and replaced separate systems maintained 

by individual agencies. For FY 2008, SBA received estimated benefits of $62,249 based upon the 

processes, personnel, roles, steps, and actions involved. In addition, the Agency realized an estimated 

cost avoidance of $84,711 and estimated operational cost savings of $462,129. 

The IAE includes, but is not limited to, the following components: 

• Central Contractor Registration (CCR): Provides SBA a single source of trading partner data. 

CCR Tools enable SBA access to current socio economic and financial information as needed for 

its contractors and grantees without maintenance. In addition, CCR allows SBA to meet its 

statutory obligations to provide consistent application of Size Determination definition and 

process; identify Small Disadvantage Business, Hubzone, 8(a) certification determinations and 

recognition. 

o The automated collection and management of CCR-type vendor data for its intended 

purposes is estimated to avoid the equivalent of 0.9 man-hours per award transaction 

based upon the processes, personnel, roles, steps, and actions involved. 

o Trading Partners: Enables trading partners to provide required information into a central 

database for use across the federal enterprise instead of submitting to each Government 

office. 

• Electronic Subcontracting Reporting System (eSRS): Provides subcontract reporting. eSRS 

automates the collection and management of Individual Subcontract Reports (Formally SF-294) 

and Summary Subcontract Reports (Formally SF-295) data for SBA. In addition, eSRS has 

provided an efficient business process to meet SBA statutory obligation to manage the federal 

subcontracting process. eSRS now provides SBA an automated process to collect and consolidate 

agencies’ annual summary subcontracting for required reporting to the President and Congress. 

o The automated collection and management of eSRS-type data for the SF-294 and SF-295 

for its intended purposes is estimated to avoid the equivalent of 0.3 government manhours per subject award transaction that requires subcontracting plans based upon the 

processes, personnel, roles, steps, and actions involved. 

o Small Business/Prime Contractors: Provides an automated filing and reporting capability 

for contractors using sub-contractors ensuring proper sub-contractor usage. 
160 

• Federal Business Opportunity (FBO): Source for contracting opportunities. Enables the SBA 

to automate management of the competitive notice processes. 

o Cost avoidance is realized by eliminating time delays, labor, supplies/resource usage, 

equipment wear, & expenditures related to: printing, photocopying, ink & paper usage, 

postage, maintenance of interested vendor lists; mailing, correction of mailing addresses, 

settling disagreements over wrong mailings, investigation of returned non-deliveries of 

notices, etc. The automated management of the competitive notice processes is 

estimated to avoid the equivalent of 5.5 government man-hours per subject transaction 

based upon the processes, personnel, roles, steps, and actions involved. 

o Small Business/Contractors: Enables contractors and small businesses access to federal 

solicitations using standard internet browser capabilities and provides an e-mail 

notification process for new postings. This further eliminates the need to check websites 

from every contracting office for bidding opportunities. 

• Federal Technical Documents System (FedTeDS): In FY 2008, FedTeDS services were 

incorporated into FBO. FedTeDS functionality controls access to secure but unclassified 

documents. FedTeds provides SBA with a secure service for storage and distribution of secure 

but unclassified documents for solicitations. 

o Cost avoidance is realized by eliminating time delays, labor, supplies/resource usage, 

equipment wear, & expenditures related to: printing, photocopying, ink & paper usage, 

postage, maintenance of interested vendor lists; mailing, correction of mailing addresses, 

settling disagreements over wrong mailings, investigation of returned non-deliveries of 

notices, etc. The automated management of the processes is estimated to avoid labor 

equivalent to 2.5 government man-hours per subject transaction based upon the 

processes, personnel, roles, steps, and actions involved. 

o Public/Federal Security: Provides a secure facility to protect secure but unclassified 

technical documentation related to solicitations. 

• Federal Procurement Data System-Next Generation (FPDS-NG): Supplies contract award 

data. FPDS-NG provides SBA with an automated capability to directly report awards real time 

from the SBA contract writing systems and extract reports of award data on demand. In addition, 

FPDS-NG has provided the single source of authoritative contract accomplishment data. This has 

allowed SBA an ability to meet its statutory obligation to manage the federal small business 

program and generate the annual Small Business Goaling Report. FPDS-NG now provides SBA an 

automated process to collect and consolidate agencies’ annual small business goaling real time 

for required reporting to the President and Congress. 

o Discontinue the SBA feeder system; facilitate real time reporting integrated with agency 

contract writing systems. 

o Congress/Public: Automates the dissemination of contract award data and incorporates 

public access. 

• Online Representation and Certification (ORCA): Replaces most of the paper-based 

Representations and Certifications in Section K of solicitations to SBA with an Internet 

application. 

o ORCA efficiencies compared to the equivalent manual management of the necessary 

representations and certifications for subject transactions are estimated to avoid the 

equivalent of 1.2 government man-hours each based upon the processes, personnel, 

roles, steps, and actions involved. 

o Contractors: Reduces time, cost and inaccuracies for contractors responding to federal 

solicitations. ORCA generally provides for a single annual submission to replace the 

previous repetitive input in every solicitation. 
161 

• Wage Determination Online (WDOL): Provides Service Contract Act (SCA) & Davis Bacon Act 

(DBA) labor rates. Makes available the most current labor rates to SBA. 

o In FY 2008, there were totals of 615,264 SCA wage determinations and 688,307 DBA 

wage determinations made on WDOL. 

o Cost avoidance is realized by eliminating time delays, labor, supplies/resource usage, 

equipment wear, and expenditures related to: printing, photocopying, ink & paper usage, 

and postage for corresponding with contractors. The automated management of the 

processes is estimated to avoid labor equivalent to 1.5 government man-hours per wage 

determination request based upon the processes, personnel, roles, steps, and actions 

involved. 

o Public: Ensures that appropriate labor rates are included in a contract for the labor 

categories specified in the Service Contract Act and Davis-Bacon Act. 

Integrated Acquisition Environment - Loans and Grants (Managing Partner GSA) 

All agencies participating in the posting and/or awarding of Loans & Grants are required by the Federal 

Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA) to disclose award information on a publicly 

accessible website. Cross-government cooperation with OMB’s Integrated Acquisition Environment 

initiative allows agencies to meet the requirements of the FFATA by assigning a unique identifier, 

determining corporate hierarchy, and validating and cleaning up incorrect or incomplete data. The FFATA 

enhances transparency of federal program performance information, funding, and loans & grants 

solicitation. 

Lines of Business 

Budget Formulation and Execution LoB (Managing Partner ED) 

BFE LoB provides significant benefits to partner agencies by encouraging best practices across all aspects 

of federal budgeting – from budget formulation and execution to performance to collaboration to human 

capital needs. 

To benefit all agencies, including SBA, BFE LoB continues to support Department of Treasury as the 

system owner in the advancement of the Budget Formulation and Execution Manager (BFEM), the first 

shared fee-for-service budget formulation system. With support from BFE LoB, Treasury/BFEM made 

available a new Performance Measure Manager (PMM) module in early 2008. This module allows users to 

automate the definition, collection, and reporting of all types of performance measures. The BFEM system 

is an option for SBA’s budget formulation or performance measurement system needs. In 2009, 

Treasury/BFEM plans to integrate PMM with OMB’s Program Assessment Rating Tool system and begin 

work on automating the transfer of apportionment data from BFEM to OMB's MAX system. 

To help agencies assess their budget systems requirements, BFE LoB created a decision matrix and 

recently evaluated nine budget systems against the matrix. This evaluation is available for all agencies to 

use and provides cost savings to agencies by eliminating the need for agencies to review this many 

systems individually. SBA may benefit from using this matrix as a starting point in determining specific 

system needs and determining a short list of the available systems to best meet its requirements. In 

2009, BFE LoB will research the possibilities for additional fee-for-service budget systems. 

BFE LoB’s “MAX Federal Community,” a secure government-only collaborative website, provides 

significant benefits for collaboration across and within agencies, as well as knowledge management. It is 

used within the budget community, as well as other related communities such as Grants, Financial 

Management, Performance, E-Government, and more. SBA currently has 92 users registered for the MAX 

Federal Community. The MAX Community site is commonly used for sharing information, collaboratively 

drafting documents (including the direct-editing of documents posted on the site), supporting 
162 

workgroups, submitting central reports, and much more. SBA also has the option to use BFE LoB’s online 

meeting tool for SBA budget meetings. Enhancements to both tools will continue in 2009 as these 

technologies advance. 

SBA may choose to use BFE LoB’s "Touchpoints" document and budget execution process maps to 

improve its own agency interactions between budget execution and financial management. BFE LoB will 

continue to work toward more automated data exchange to improve data quality in these areas. 

BFE LoB’s Human Capital Federal Budget Core Competency Framework is a resource for SBA to use in its 

internal workforce planning initiatives. BFE LoB plans to continue to expand this framework in 2009. 

Financial Management LoB (Managing Partner GSA) 

SBA will realize the following benefits through participation in FM LoB and usage of a FM Shared Service 

Provider (SSP): 

• Cost Savings; 

• Minimizing Risk: SSP customers will be able to minimize risk by implementing and using financial 

systems that are already operating with standard operating procedures; 

• Avoiding Duplicate Operational Costs: Reducing redundant costs by using standard business 

processes and a common system software certified by the Financial System Integration Office in 

the General Services Administration; and 

• Facilitating Best Practices/Standardization: Key tools such as a Request for Proposal framework 

and Service Level Agreement guides will be provided to VA to help in the development of agency 

agreements with SSPs. 

Geospatial LoB (Managing Partner DoI) 

SBA is looking forward to the returns on investments from the Geospatial LoB with regard to the 

efficiency and synergy across the government. Geospatial LoB provides more immediate access to 

geospatial information that would lead to improved productivity, improved mission delivery, and 

increased service to citizens. Geospatially enabling traditional business data will improve business process 

efficiency, allow for geographically based work planning and investment processes, assist in infrastructure 

asset tracking, improve mission delivery, and promote use of business intelligence in the Department’s 

decision support systems. The LoB is intended to establish methods for improved processes of doing 

business using geospatial information. 

Grants Management LoB (Managing Partners HHS and NSF) 

SBA manages 517 active grant awards, equaling approximately $73.8 million annually. SBA was approved 

by OMB on April 4, 2008 to utilize PRISM software (a Compusearch product) as its alternative solution for 

Grants Management rather than partnering with a Grants Management Line of Business Consortium lead. 

SBA received permission from OMB to use the PRISM software because it demonstrated that the 

proposed solution is an efficient and cost effective solution that aligns with the goals of GM LoB; 

however, SBA has agreed to participate in the annual review of its waiver of the GM LoB Consortium lead. 

As part of GM LoB, SBA intends to monitor itself to assess the proposed solution as well as commit to 

actively participate in a COTS user group for grant-making agencies. The working group will identify 

opportunities for sharing information and best practices that will lead to increased efficiencies among the 

COTS product’s users, influence product development, and potentially reduce costs. SBA will continue to 

attend GM LoB meetings and to participate in all activities to support the Federal Financial Assistance 

Management Improvement Act of 1999 and the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 

2006. 
163 

SBA anticipates that the same key benefits of having a centralized location to download all applications, 

make awards, and track awards to closeout. Service to constituents will be improved through the 

standardization and streamlining of government wide grants business processes. The public will receive 

time savings as a result of quicker notification. Furthermore, SBA will minimize complex and varying 

agency-specific requirements and increase grantee ease of use on federal grants management systems. 

Constituents will benefit as they will have fewer unique agency systems and processes to learn.

Disaster Assistance Improvement Plan (Managing Partner DHS) 

The Disaster Assistance Improvement Plan (DAIP) is a government-wide effort to improve the delivery of 

disaster assistance all across the Federal government. The initiative includes member agencies which 

have active disaster assistance programs as well as those which do not. While some partner agencies are 

affected less than others in times of a disaster, all are affected in some way. 

SSA was identified by DAIP as providing assistance that is valuable to disaster victims. It supports nondisaster assistance programs and services which reach disaster victims who may be displaced or are 

otherwise out of contact. Participation in DAIP helps to reduce the burden on other federal agencies 

which routinely provide logistical help and other critical management or organizational support during 

disasters. 

In its first year of operation, the DAIP team identified the following Forms of Assistance (FOA) within the 

Social Security Administration: 

• Category 3 – Forms of assistance not inherently disaster-related, administered at the federal, 

state or local level: 

o Social Security Benefits (Social Security Administration) 

• Category 4 – Agencies that can leverage data collected from disaster victims or can provide 

additional data/validations: 

o Change of Address (Social Security Administration) 

An independent FOA Validation Study is currently underway for SSA to ensure a consistent, replicable 

process for the establishment of a baseline as well as assessing all agency FOAs for inclusion in DAIP.

Business Gateway (Managing Partner SBA)

By creating a single portal for business information, such as regulatory compliance information Business 

Gateway directly benefits SSA’s stakeholders – entrepreneurs, small businesses and associations – many 

of whom are subject to complex regulatory requirements across multiple agencies.

SSA’s stakeholders can potentially receive significant benefits from Business Gateway. These benefits are 

outlined below. Through increased outreach, more constituents will be able to realize these benefits. 

• Cost and time savings: Businesses looking for SSA compliance regulations may save time and 

money by going to Business.gov. In FY 2008, 74 percent of Business.gov users who 

responded to the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) survey reported saving time 

at an average of nearly 10 hours per user, totaling 3,960,269 hours; 55 percent of survey 

respondents also reported saving money at an average of $753 per user. 

• Increased forms management: By making 195 forms available on Forms.gov, SSA may 

expect a realization of paper and postage savings. SSA forms were accessed via Forms.gov 

498,206 times in FY 2008. 

• Increased exposure: Business.gov houses numerous SSA compliance links providing crossagency effectiveness to American businesses. In FY 2008, Business.gov directed 4,277 visits 

to SSA sites. 

• Regulatory compliance: The Business.gov website enables SSA to comply with the reporting 

requirement for the Small Business Paperwork Relief Act (SBPRA) and the Small Business 

Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (SBREFA), which called on federal regulatory 

agencies to publish small business guides that assist small firms in complying with, and 

answer small businesses’ inquiries about federal regulations.

Grants.gov (Managing Partner HHS)

The Grants.gov initiative benefits SSA and its grant programs by providing a single location to publish 

grant (funding) opportunities and application packages, as well as through providing a single site for the 

grants community to apply for grants using common forms, processes and systems. SSA derives its 

largest source of benefits from Grants.gov through increased organizational efficiencies. SSA has 

leveraged Grants.gov in the development of two agency specific forms, and use government-wide forms 

100 percent of the time for its application packages. 

As of September 2008, SSA had posted 25 funding opportunities and 27 application packages on 

Grants.gov. SSA received 295 electronic applications during FY2 008 and approximately 1,528 total from 

the grants community via Grants.gov. Because of Grants.gov, SSA has a fully electronic grant process for 

Finding and Applying for 100 percent of its grant programs. 

Internal Efficiency and Effectiveness Portfolio 

E-Gov Travel (Managing Partner GSA)

SSA began migrating its travel services to Carlson Wagonlit Government Travel, one of the three 

designated E-Gov Travel Service providers, in Q4 FY 2008 and is realizing the following benefits: 

• Increased cost savings associated with overall reduction in Travel Management Center 

transaction service fees; 

• Improved strategic source pricing through cross-government purchasing agreements; 

• Improved business process functionality as a result of streamlined travel policies and processes; 
168

Geospatial LoB (Managing Partner DoI) 

SSA is responsible for the advancement of the economic security of the nation's people through 

compassionate and vigilant leadership in shaping and managing America's Social Security programs. 

Geospatial LoB could provide broader and more immediate access to geospatial information that would 

allow SSA to improve mission delivery and increase service to citizens. Having access to data may 

increase the efficiencies on how benefit services are provided to the recipients of Social Security, 

Disability, and Survivor benefits. Furthermore, SSA may gain the opportunity to strategically and 

geographically enhance planning and investment processes. 

Grants Management LoB (Managing Partners HHS and NSF) 

SSA entered into an Interagency Agreement with the Department of Health and Human 

Services/Administration for Children and Families (HHS/ACF) on September 4, 2008. Under the 

agreement, SSA will pay HHS/ACF for IT services provided by the Grants Center of Excellence (COE) 

within HHS/ACF. The IAA covers pre-transition services including a fit-gap analysis of SSA’s grant 

programs, which will identify modifications to the COE’s system(s) structure to accommodate any 

changes required to transfer the existing grants data of SSA and/or facilitate legislative requirements or 

must-have grant processing requirements of SSA. 

SSA is not utilizing the ACF system at this stage; therefore, specific benefits and cost saving data is not 

yet available. However, SSA anticipates the following benefits and savings: 

• SSA currently manages 204 grant awards equaling approximately $34.6 million. SSA anticipates 

the key benefit will be having a centralized location to download all applications, make awards, 

and track awards to closeout. Automated business processes available through our Consortia 

Lead will decrease agency reliance on manual and paper-based processing. Consortium lead 

agencies will spread operations and maintenance costs, and development, modernization, and 

enhancement costs across agencies, decreasing the burden that any one agency must bear. 

• GM LoB will lead to a reduction in the number of systems of record for grants data across SSA 

and the government and the development of common reporting standards, improving SSA’s 

ability to provide agency- and government-wide reports on grant activities and results. Migrating 

to a Consortium lead agency will help SSA comply with the Federal Financial Assistance 

Management Improvement Act of 1999 and the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency 

Act of 2006. 

• SSA stakeholders include grantees from private non-profit and profit organizations, State and 

local governments, and colleges and universities. Service to constituents will be improved 

through the standardization and streamlining of government-wide grants business processes. The 

public will receive time savings as a result of quicker notification and faster payments due to an 

automated system for grants processing. Furthermore, GM LoB will minimize complex and 
170 

varying agency-specific requirements and increase grantee ease of use on federal grants 

management systems. Constituents will benefit from having fewer unique agency systems and 

processes to learn. We anticipate improvement in the Grantees’ ability to learn how to use the 

system and a reduction in the reliance on call center technical support. Consortium lead agencies 

will also provide grantees with online access to standard post-award reports, decreasing the 

number of unique agency-specific reporting requirements. 

Human Resources Management LoB (Managing Partner OPM) 

SSA benefits through its use of best-in-class HR services and systems provided by one of the approved 

service providers, the Department of Interior’s National Business Center. Through its adoption of an 

approved service provider, SSA can achieve the benefits of “best-in-class” HR solutions and offer 

employees across the agency improved HR services without the costs of developing and maintaining its 

own HR systems. SSA’s participation in HR LoB allows the agency to utilize government-wide HR 

solutions, as well as access lessons learned and best practices developed by the task force and other 

agencies.

The Grants.gov initiative benefits CNCS and its grant programs by providing a single location to publish 

grant (funding) opportunities and application packages and by providing a single site for the grants 

community to apply for grants using common forms, processes, and systems. By publishing its funding 

opportunities on Grants.gov, CNCS is reaching a larger, more diverse applicant pool and additionally 

saving at least $20,000 annually (cost of publishing notices in the Federal Register). 

Lines of Business 

Grants Management LoB (Managing Partner NSF & HHS) 

In 2008, CNCS distributed almost $600 million in grant funds and had approximately 2,400 active 

grants. CNCS is proceeding with plans to migrate grants management activities to a GM LoB. Building off 

the initial fit-gap provided by the Department of Health and Human Services/Administration for Children 

and Families (HHS/ACF) Consortium lead, The Corporation awarded a contract in September of 2008 to 

conduct a detailed fit-gap analysis. The current effort will allow CNCS to develop business requirements 

for the migration. Once the requirements and corresponding cost estimates are known, CNCS will conduct 

the cost-benefit analysis that will allow the development of an implementation plan that meets the 

Consortia lead’s timeframe and allows CNCS to plan the migration for maximum cost savings for the 

agency. 

CNCS anticipates the key benefit of GM LoB will be having a centralized location to download all 

applications, make awards, and track awards to closeout. Automated and well supported business 

processes available through Consortia will decrease agency reliance on its current e-grants system, which 

is nearing the end of its lifespan. Consortium lead agencies will spread operations and maintenance costs, 

and development, modernization, and enhancement costs across agencies, decreasing the burden that 

any one agency must bear. 

Participation in GM LoB will lead to a reduction in the number of systems of record for grants data across 

CNCS and the Federal government. Furthermore, the development of common reporting standards will 

improve CNCS’s ability to provide agency- and government-wide reports on grant activities and results. 

Migrating to a Consortium lead agency will help CNCS comply with the Federal Financial Assistance 

Management Improvement Act of 1999 and the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 

2006. 
172 

Service to constituents will be improved through the standardization and streamlining of governmentwide grants business processes. Furthermore, GM LoB will minimize complex and varying agency-specific 

requirements and increase grantee ease of use on federal grants management systems. Constituents will 

benefit as they will have fewer unique agency systems and processes to learn; grantees’ ability to learn 

how to use the system will be improved and reliance on call center technical support will be reduced. 

Consortium lead agencies will also provide grantees with online access to standard post-award reports, 

decreasing the number of unique agency-specific reporting requirements.

Institute of Museum and Library Services 

The E-Government initiatives serve citizens, businesses, and Federal and state government employees by 

delivering high quality services more efficiently at a lower price. Instead of expensive “stove-piped” 

operations, agencies work together to develop common solutions which achieve mission requirements at 

reduced cost, thereby making resources available for higher priority needs. 

The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) is providing funding in FY 2009 

to the following E-Government Initiatives: 

Government to Government Portfolio 

 Grants.gov 

Lines of Business (LoB) 

 Grants Management LoB 

Benefits realized through the use of these initiatives are as follows: 

Government to Government Portfolio 

Grants.gov (Managing Partner HHS) 

The Grants.gov initiative benefits IMLS and its grant programs by providing a single location to publish 

grant (funding) opportunities and application packages and by providing a single site for the grants 

community to apply for grants using common forms, processes, and systems. By publishing its funding 

opportunities on Grants.gov, IMLS is reaching a larger, more diverse applicant pool.

In FY 2008, 13 synopses and 13 application packages for all of IMLS’ discretionary grant programs were 

posted on Grants.gov, meeting the 100 percent goal set by OMB for participating agencies. Applications 

submitted via Grants.gov were mandatory for all of the IMLS grant programs. A total of 1,674 

applications were submitted via Grants.gov, which is an increase of over 50 percent when compared to 

FY 2007. In FY 2009, IMLS will continue to require that all applications be submitted via Grants.gov. 

Lines of Business 

Grants Management LoB (Managing Partner NSF & HHS) 

IMLS made over 720 awards in FY 2008, equaling approximately $249 million; grant-making is IMLS’ 

primary business. IMLS anticipates the key benefit will be having a centralized location to download all 

applications, make awards, and track awards to closeout. Automated business processes available 

through Consortia will decrease agency reliance on manual and paper-based processing. Consortium lead 

agencies will spread operations and maintenance costs, and development, modernization, and 

enhancement costs across agencies, decreasing the burden that any one agency must bear. 

GM LoB will lead to a reduction in the number of systems of record for grants data across IMLS and the 

government and the development of common reporting standards, improving IMLS’s ability to provide 

agency- and government-wide reports on grant activities and results. Migrating to a Consortium lead 

agency will help IMLS comply with the Federal Financial Assistance Management Improvement Act of 

1999 and the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006. 

Service to constituents in the museum and library communities will be improved through the 

standardization and streamlining of government-wide grants business processes. The public will receive 

time savings as a result of quicker notification and faster payments due to an automated system for 

grants processing. Furthermore, GM LoB will minimize complex and varying agency-specific requirements 

and increase grantee ease of use on federal grants management systems. Constituents will benefit as 

they will have fewer unique agency systems and processes to learn; grantees’ ability to learn how to use 
174 

the system will be improved and reliance on call center technical support will be reduced. Consortium 

lead agencies will also provide grantees with online access to standard post-award reports, decreasing 

the number of unique agency-specific reporting requirements.

National Endowment for the Arts 

The E-Government initiatives serve citizens, businesses, and Federal and state government employees by 

delivering high quality services more efficiently at a lower price. Instead of expensive “stove-piped” 

operations, agencies work together to develop common solutions which achieve mission requirements at 

reduced cost, thereby making resources available for higher priority needs. 

The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) is providing funding in FY 2009 to the 

following E-Government Initiatives: 

Government to Government Portfolio 

 Grants.gov 

Lines of Business (LoB) 

 Grants Management LoB 

Benefits realized through the use of these initiatives are as follows: 

Government to Government Portfolio 

Grants.gov (Managing Partner HHS) 

The Grants.gov initiative benefits NEA and its grant programs by providing a single location to publish 

grant (funding) opportunities and application packages, and by providing a single site for the grants 

community to apply for grants using common forms, processes and systems. By publishing its funding 

opportunities on Grants.gov, NEA is reaching a larger, more diverse applicant pool. 

NEA has developed two agency-specific forms through Grants.gov that supplement the use of 

government-wide forms in their application packages. In FY 2008, NEA posted 20 funding opportunities 

with matching application packages and received 8,551 applications via Grants.gov, more than twice the 

number for FY 2007. NEA is now requiring the use of Grants.gov for all of its Grants for Arts Projects 

funding opportunities. 

Lines of Business 

Grants Management LoB (Managing Partner NSF & HHS) 

In FY 2008, NEA processed 2,248 federal assistance awards (grants and cooperative agreements) totaling 

over $124 million. NEA also began working with its sister agency, the National Endowment for the 

Humanities, to migrate to a new grants management system that the two agencies will share through a 

GM LoB strategic partnership approved by the Office of Management & Budget. The new system provides 

a centralized location to download all applications, make awards, and track awards to closeout. 

Automated business processes will decrease NEA’s reliance on manual and paper-based processing. 

Operations and maintenance costs, and development, modernization, and enhancement costs will be 

shared by both agencies, decreasing the burden on each. 

GM LoB will lead to a reduction in the number of systems of record for grants data across the 

government and the development of common reporting standards, improving NEA's ability to provide 

agency and government-wide reports on grant activities and results. Migrating to the new shared system 

will also help NEA comply with the Federal Financial Assistance Management Improvement Act of 1999 

and the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006. 

Service to constituents will be improved through the standardization and streamlining of governmentwide grants business processes. The public will benefit from time savings as a result of quicker 

notification and faster payments due to improved automated systems for grants processing. Furthermore, 

GM LoB will minimize complex and varying agency-specific requirements and increase the ease of use of 
176 

federal grants management systems. Constituents will benefit as they will have fewer unique agency 

systems and processes to learn. The NEA-NEH shared system will also provide grantees with online 

access to standard post-award reports, decreasing the number of unique agency-specific reporting 

requirements.

National Endowment for the Humanities 

The E-Government initiatives serve citizens, businesses, and Federal and state government employees by 

delivering high quality services more efficiently at a lower price. Instead of expensive “stove-piped” 

operations, agencies work together to develop common solutions which achieve mission requirements at 

reduced cost, thereby making resources available for higher priority needs. 

The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) is providing funding in FY 2009 to 

the following E-Government Initiatives: 

Government to Government Portfolio 

 Grants.gov 

Lines of Business (LoB) 

 Grants Management LoB 

Benefits realized through the use of these initiatives are as follows: 

Government to Government Portfolio 

Grants.gov (Managing Partner HHS) 

The Grants.gov initiative benefits NEH and its grant programs by providing a single location to publish 

grant (funding) opportunities and application packages, and by providing a single site for the grants 

community to apply for grants using common forms, processes and systems. Also, by publishing its 

funding opportunities on Grants.gov, NEH reaches a larger, more diverse applicant pool. NEH has 

benefited from the use of a single site for application processes and by consequence has been able to 

consolidate additional systems for the review and management of grant applications. 

NEH has leveraged Grants.gov in the development of three agency specific forms currently available on 

the site. In FY 2008, NEH posted 45 funding opportunities to the site and received a total of 6,148 grant 

applications. Use of Grants.gov is mandatory for NEH applicants. 

Lines of Business 

Grants Management LoB (Managing Partner NSF & HHS) 

NEH manages approximately 2,500 grant awards equaling an average of $450 million annually. In 

support of the goals of GM LoB, NEH serves as the lead agency for a strategic partnership among NEH, 

the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and the National Historical Publications and Records 

Commission (NHPRC) that involves sharing a common grants management system (GMS). The key 

benefit of sharing the NEH GMS is that the three agencies share a centralized location to download all 

applications, make awards, and track awards to closeout. In addition, the agencies benefit from shared 

operations and maintenance costs and shared development, modernization, and enhancement costs. A 

shared grants management system further assists in each agency's compliance with agency and 

government reporting requirements, such as those mandated by the Federal Funding Accountability and 

Transparency Act of 2006. 

The stakeholder communities served by NEH include NEH staff members, individuals and institutions 

submitting and/or managing grant applications and awards, and the general public receiving reports on 

agency activities. Sharing the GMS among three agencies means that agencies may streamline and 

standardize business practices. The public will receive time savings as a result of quicker notification and 

faster payments due to an automated system for grants processing. Furthermore, the partnership 

minimizes complex and varying agency-specific requirements and increases grantee ease of use on 

federal grants management systems. Constituents will benefit as they will have fewer unique agency 

systems and processes to learn; grantees’ ability to learn how to use the system will be improved and 
178 

reliance on call center technical support will be reduced. GMS soon will also provide grantees with online 

access to standard post-award reports, decreasing the number of unique agency-specific reporting 

requirements. 

Because the three agencies share common business practices, GMS functionality is able to meet the 

needs of each agency at a very low cost compared to GM LoB Consortium lead options. NEH estimates an 

annual cost avoidance of approximately $650,000 and a one-time cost avoidance of approximately 

$850,000 with its GM LoB strategic partnership as compared to migration to a GM LoB Consortium lead. 

Additional cost savings are enjoyed by the other members of the strategic partnership.

Office of Management and Budget 

The E-Government initiatives serve citizens, businesses, and Federal and state government employees by 

delivering high quality services more efficiently at a lower price. Instead of expensive “stove-piped” 

operations, agencies work together to develop common solutions which achieve mission requirements at 

reduced cost, thereby making resources available for higher priority needs. 

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is providing funding in FY 2009 to the 

following E-Government Initiative: 

Lines of Business (LoB) 

 Budget Formulation and Execution LoB 

Benefits realized through the use of this initiative are as follows: 

Lines of Business 

Budget Formulation and Execution LoB (Managing Partner ED) 

BFE LoB provides significant benefits to partner agencies by encouraging best practices across all aspects 

of federal budgeting – from budget formulation and execution to performance to collaboration to human 

capital needs. 

To benefit all agencies, BFE LoB continues to support Department of Treasury as the system owner in the 

advancement of the Budget Formulation and Execution Manager (BFEM), the first shared fee-for-service 

budget formulation system. With support from BFE LoB, Treasury/BFEM made available a new 

Performance Measure Manager (PMM) module in early 2008. This module allows users to automate the 

definition, collection, and reporting of all types of performance measures. In 2009, Treasury/BFEM plans 

to integrate PMM with OMB’s Program Assessment Rating Tool system and begin work on automating the 

transfer of apportionment data from BFEM to OMB's MAX system. Continued automation of BFEM will 

allow the eleven agencies using BFEM to communicate with OMB/MAX more efficiently and accurately. 

To help agencies assess their budget systems requirements, BFE LoB created a decision matrix and 

recently evaluated nine budget systems against the matrix. This evaluation is available for all agencies to 

use and provides cost savings to agencies by eliminating the need for agencies to review this many 

systems individually. In 2009, BFE LoB will research the possibilities for additional fee-for-service budget 

systems. Increased automation of agency budget systems and data will allow OMB to collect and compile 

more accurate and timely budget data. 

BFE LoB’s “MAX Federal Community,” a secure government-only collaborative website, provides 

significant benefits for collaboration across and within agencies, as well as knowledge management. It is 

used within the budget community, as well as other related communities such as Grants, Financial 

Management, Performance, E-Government, and more. OMB currently has 38 users registered for the MAX 

Federal Community. The MAX Community site is commonly used for sharing information, collaboratively 

drafting documents (including the direct-editing of documents posted on the site), supporting 

workgroups, submitting central reports, and much more. OMB also uses BFE LoB’s online meeting tool. 

Enhancements to both tools will continue in 2009 as these technologies advance. OMB is the most robust 

user of the Community and benefits by using it for many exercises related to Budget, Financial 

Management, and E-Gov. 

OMB continues to use BFE LoB’s "Touchpoints" document and budget execution process maps to improve 

its own agency interactions between budget and financial management. BFE LoB will continue to work 
180 

toward more automated data exchange to improve data quality in these areas. This will include the 

automation of data exchanges with OMB’s MAX system. 

BFE LoB’s Human Capital Federal Budget Core Competency Framework is a resource for OMB to use in its 

internal workforce planning initiatives. BFE LoB plans to continue to expand this framework in 2009. 

BFE LoB Data Collection and Tracking activities have significantly improved OMB’s ability to support the 

Federal government’s information collection needs. In 2008, over a dozen data Exercises were collected 

and compiled in record time.

experiences and lessons learned with BFEM. 

To help agencies assess their budget systems requirements, BFE LoB created a decision matrix and 

recently evaluated nine budget systems against the matrix. SEC has been and continues to be a leader in 

federal budget automation. SEC’s budget system was one of the nine systems evaluated. This evaluation 

is available for all agencies to use and provides cost savings to agencies by eliminating the need for 

agencies to review this many systems individually. SEC may benefit from using this information to 

determine areas for improvements in its own budget system. In 2009, BFE LoB will research the 

possibilities for additional fee-for-service budget systems. 

BFE LoB’s “MAX Federal Community,” a secure government-only collaborative website, provides 

significant benefits for collaboration across and within agencies, as well as knowledge management. It is

Federal Community. The MAX Community site is commonly used for sharing information, collaboratively 

drafting documents (including the direct-editing of documents posted on the site), supporting 

workgroups, submitting central reports, and much more. SEC also has the option to use BFE LoB’s online 

meeting tool for SEC budget meetings. Enhancements to both tools will continue in 2009 as these 

technologies advance. 

SEC may choose to use BFE LoB’s "Touchpoints" document and budget execution process maps to 

improve its own agency interactions between budget execution and financial management. BFE LoB will 

continue to work toward more automated data exchange to improve data quality in these areas.

Notes: * - Agency contributions reflect commitments of funding and/or in-kind services provided by partner agencies to initiative managing partneagencies in support of developing, implementing, and/or migrating to E-Gov common solutions. Contribution amounts are determined annthrough collaborative, inter-agency E-Gov initiative governance structures and subject to approval by OMB.“Fee-for-service” contributions represent transfers of funds by partner agencies to initiative service providers in exchange for services renby initiative service providers. The amounts are typically based on a transaction/usage-based fee structure (e.g., for payroll processing, paservice providers base their service fees on the number of employees at a customer agency). Initiative service providers use fees collectefrom partner agencies to cover ongoing operational costs, perform routine maintenance, and support their customer base.Once an initiative has completed all implementation and migration activities, an initiative will no longer be funded through agency funding contributions but rather will be exclusively funded through fee-for-service agreements.

FY 2009 Agency Funding for E-Gov and LoB Initiatives by Initiative

Notes: * - Agency contributions reflect commitments of funding and/or in-kind services provided by partner agencies to initiative managing partner agencies in support of devemigrating to E-Gov common solutions. Contribution amounts are determined annually through collaborative, inter-agency E-Gov initiative governance structures and su“Fee-for-service” contributions represent transfers of funds by partner agencies to initiative service providers in exchange for services rendered by initiative service provtypically based on a transaction/usage-based fee structure (e.g., for payroll processing, payroll service providers base their service fees on the number of employees aservice providers use fees collected from partner agencies to cover ongoing operational costs, perform routine maintenance, and support their customer base.Once an initiative has completed all implementation and migration activities, an initiative will no longer be funded through agency funding contributions but rather will be fee-for-service agreements.

Note: The difference ($184,006) in the FY 2009 totals is attributed to the E-Travel initiative - $2,000,000 of funds to be collected from the DOJ customer components versus the $1,815,994 considered for planning purposes earlier in the budget cycle. Funds will be for contractor support for the e-travel initiative. The updated cost includes FY 2009 security and interface development and implementation costs as contracted with the service provider (Carlson Wagonlit Government Travel) under their GSA schedule. Operations and Maintenance are not included.

Notes: ** - NARA’s funding of Grants.gov is contingent upon Congressional Appropriators decision to fund NARA grants* - Agency contributions reflect commitments of funding and/or in-kind services provided by partner agencies to initiative managing pagencies in support of developing, implementing, and/or migrating to E-Gov common solutions. Contribution amounts are determined through collaborative, inter-agency E-Gov initiative governance structures and subject to approval by OMB.“Fee-for-service” reimbursements represent transfers of funds by partner agencies to initiative service providers in exchange for servrendered by initiative service providers. The amounts are typically based on a transaction/usage-based fee structure (e.g., for payroll processing, payroll service providers base their service fees on the number of employees at a customer agency). Initiative service pruse fees collected from partner agencies to cover ongoing operational costs, perform routine maintenance, and support their customOnce an initiative has completed all implementation and migration activities, and initiative will no longer be funded through agency fucontributions but rather will be exclusively funded through fee-for-service agreements.

Contributions

Note: * - Agency contributions reflect commitments of funding and/or in-kind services provided by partner agencies to initiative managing partner agenciein support of developing, implementing, and/or migrating to E-Gov common solutions. Contribution amounts are determined annually through collaborative, inter-agency E-Gov initiative governance structures and subject to approval by OMB.“Fee-for-service” reimbursements represent transfers of funds by partner agencies to initiative service providers in exchange for services rendered by initiative service providers. The amounts are typically based on a transaction/usage-based fee structure (e.g., for payroll processing, payroll service providers base their service fees on the number of employees at a customer agency). Initiative service providers use fees collected from partner agencies to cover ongoing operational costs, perform routine maintenance, and support their customer base.Once an initiative has completed all implementation and migration activities, an initiative will no longer be funded through agency funding contributions but rather will be exclusively funded through fee-for-service agreements.

E-Gov Initiative Risks 

(As reported by Initiative Program Managers in Risk Management Plans and/or OMB Exhibit 

300 Submissions) 

Page 1 

All initiatives are required by OMB Circular A-11 to have risk management plans; this status is 

indicated in Attachment L – "Initiative Development Status & Risk Plan - Per Initiatives". All 

initiatives are required to perform risk assessment at the initial concept, including the risk 

elements listed below and demonstrate active management of the risk throughout the life-cycle 

of the investment. 

The following common areas of risk are found in OMB Circular A – 11 Supplement to Part 7—

Capital Programming Guide: 

• Technology—Lack of expertise, software and hardware maturity or immaturity, installation 

requirements, customization, O&M requirements, component delivery schedule/availability, 

uncertain and changing requirements, design errors and/or omissions, technical obsolescence. 

• Project Schedule and Resources—Scope creep, requirement changes, insufficient or unavailable 

resources, overly optimistic task durations, and unnecessary activities within the schedule, critical 

deliverables or reviews not planned into the schedule. 

• Business—Poorly written contracts, market or industry changes, new competitive products 

become available, creating a monopoly for future procurements. 

• Organizational and Change Management—Business process reengineering acceptance by users 

and management, time and commitment managers will need to spend overseeing the change, 

lack of participation by business owners in the reengineering process, necessary change in 

manuals and handbooks, personnel management issues, labor unions, and ability of the 

organization to change. 

• Strategic—Project does not tie to the Department's mission or strategic goals, project is not part 

of the Department's IT Capital Planning and Investment Control (CPIC) process. 

• Security—Project does not conform to the requirements of OMB Circular A–130 Management of 

Federal Information Resources (November 28, 2000). 

• Privacy—Project does not conform to the requirements of OMB Circular A–130. 

• Data—Data standards are not defined, data acquisition and/or conversion costs are unknown. 

• Integration Risks 

• Project Team Risks 

• Requirements Risks 

• Cost Risks 

• Project Management Risks 

For each initiative we have included the categories or areas of risk identified as important to each 

of the E-Gov Initiatives. For details of these risks and mitigations please contact the initiative 

directly. Initiative contact information can be located on www.egov.gov.
