FY 2016 Budget Adjustments 

Adjustments to Request 

Non-Recurring Costs 

Zero-Base Budget -$2,725,000 / +0 FTE 

DSCIP appropriations are one-time funding 

and do not recur. 

Program Increases 

Shared IT Infrastructure Environment 

+$10,040,000 / +0 FTE 

Treasury requests funds to build and house a 

shared enterprise IT infrastructure 

environment. This environment would be 

housed in existing Treasury facilities and 

allow for analysis of large volumes of 

aggregate financial and management data in 

support of various mission-critical Treasury 

functions, including those for TFI and 

government-wide shared services provided by 

Treasury’s IT services. Current environments 

would require investment to improve 

availability through increased useof computing 

resources, security infrastructure to ensure 

shared environments can safely share data with 

mission specific environments, and identity 

management controls to monitor access by 

employees at different agencies. With this 

foundation, Treasury would be much more 

effectively positioned to expand current data 

management programs to meet the increasing 

demand from multiple customers for “big 

data” type analysis as well as host DO and 

Treasury’s government-wide shared services. 

Main Treasury South Plaza Restoration 

+$650,000 / +0 FTE 

This request will fund repairs to the South 

Plaza to correct deterioration to the paver 

stones and underlying setting bed that is 

causing an unstable walking surface that is a 
hazard to employees and could cause serious 

injury.
