 Section 1 – Purpose

1A – Description of Bureau Vision and Priorities 

DSCIP funding is authorized to be used by or on behalf of Treasury Department bureaus, 

at the Secretary’s discretion, to modernize business processes and increase efficiency 

through technology and infrastructure investments. In FY 2010, Treasury will make 

investments in the Annex building, Cyber Security program, and Treasury Foreign 

Intelligence Network (TFIN). 

Top Priorities for FY 2010

• Annex Repair and Maintenance (ARM) – The ARM project will address the 

immediate need to correct critical building and system deficiencies to ensure the 

safety and health of the occupants. 

• Treasury Foreign Intelligence Network (TFIN) – This initiative will provide 

for needed system enhancements to the TFIN application and associated support 

systems. 

• Cyber Security – The Cyber Security Initiative will protect the security of 

Treasury systems, and related information and services.

The FY 2010 total budget for DSCIP is $9,544,000. 

1B – Program History and Future Outlook 

The Treasury Department has utilized DSCIP to fund stabilization and enhancement of 

the Treasury Secure Data Network, upgrade existing land-mobile radio equipment 

through the Integrated Wireless Network, upgrade the infrastructure for Treasury’s 

Back-up Disaster Recovery Capacity, and develop Treasury’s automated Personnel 

System, HR Connect, which serves customers across all Treasury bureaus. Treasury’s 

Cyber Security program has also been strengthened through DSCIP funding resulting in 

the recent closure of the Department-wide security material weakness and improved 

performance in meeting the requirements of the Federal Information Security 

Management Act (FISMA) and other government-wide security initiatives. These prior 

investments demonstrate Treasury’s success in modernizing its business processes, 

technologies, and increasing efficiencies through the use of DSCIP funding. 

Additionally, Cyber Security has implemented security enhancements to the unclassified 

and sensitive systems as well as improved upon its infrastructure protection but must 

continue to increase protection given the increasing severity of cyber threats, the 

continuing discovery of new vulnerabilities, and continuing need to identify and 

implement new cyber security technologies. Protecting the Department’s classified and 

sensitive systems is integral to sound management of those resources and continued 
DSCIP - 4 

ability of the Department to conduct its programs. Programmatic and technical oversight 

enhancements to sustain the cyber security program therefore are essential. 

DSCIP funding will be used in FY 2009 to begin to replace the electrical system in the 

Treasury Annex Building. The current system is unable to meet the needs of a modern 

office building. This upgrade will allow the Department to begin work in FY 2010 on 

other Annex infrastructure issues, such as the elevator system. 

The Treasury Department has four strategic goals: 

• Effectively manage U.S. government finances; 

• Ensure U.S. and world economies perform at full economic potential; 

• Prevent terrorism and promote the nation’s security through strengthened 

international financial systems; and, 

• Ensure management and organizational excellence. 

The Department uses DSCIP funds to make investments necessary to facilitate 

achievement of these goals as necessary. For FY 2010, proposed investments are as 

follows: 

Annex Repair and Maintenance (ARM): The Annex Repair and Maintenance (ARM) 

project will enable Treasury to continue to address building and system deficiencies and 

thereby contributes to the achievement of the goal of ensuring management and 

organizational excellence. The 2010 ARM investment will build off of the similar 2009 

DSCIP investments in the program. 

Treasury Financial Intelligence Network (TFIN):The Treasury Department’s Office of 

Terrorism and Financial Intelligence (TFI) leads the U.S. Government’s multi-faceted 

effort to keep the world’s financial systems free and open to legitimate users, while 

protecting them from those who wish to invade these systems for illegal and destructive 

purposes. TFI’s activities in this arena focus on preventing the flow of funds and support 

to terrorist groups, drug traffickers and other criminals; identifying, disrupting and 

dismantling their support networks; and leveraging the power of the U.S. financial market 

to isolate state sponsors of terrorism and weapons of mass destruction (WMD) 

proliferation. 

Funding of TFI related activities in DSCIP will allow a robust continuation of 

improvements to its capabilities in performing Treasury’s National Security mission. The

TFIN program office requires funding to implement enhancements throughout the TFIN 

system to ensure it remains compliant with increased security requirements and that it 

retains an active interface with the intelligence community’s technological development. 

Cyber Security: The Department’s reliance on information technology to process its 

classified and sensitive information and implement its critical activities makes it 
DSCIP - 5 

imperative that these resources be appropriately protected. This is made all the more 

challenging given the significant and evolving criminal and highly-advanced threats 

against these systems, the new risks posed by ever-evolving technologies, and the daily 

discovery of new vulnerabilities in existing commercial technologies in use throughout 

the Department. Cyber Security funds will be used to help ensure the protection of 

Treasury systems and information against these threats, identify and mitigate against 

vulnerabilities, provide for cyber security governance throughout the Department, ensure 

that all Treasury Department’s Critical Infrastructure / Key Resources (CI/KR) are 

identified, security metrics are developed and regularly measured, evolving the 

Department’s cyber security requirements to meet these new threats and vulnerabilities 

and conducting security reviews to help ensure full implementation of security measures 

to protect the Department. This program will provide greater protection against network 

intrusions, which can result in significant disruptions and delays in business activities. 

Funding in this area will also support reviews of selected bureau security programs and 

also support enhanced protection of the Department’s classified systems, thus directly 

supporting the goal of better protecting the national security, by reducing the risk to those 

systems.

3A – Department-wide Systems and Capital Investments Programs ($9,544,000 from 

direct appropriations): 

The purpose of DSCIP is to improve Departmental infrastructure and modernize business 

processes through strategic use of information technology in order to achieve operational 

efficiency and effectiveness. All of the DSCIP efforts provide tangible benefits in their 

specific areas to produce an improved overall environment for the Department of the 

Treasury. Improvements to the Treasury Annex will allow the department to maximize 

the utility of the facility while ensuring that Treasury employees are working in a safe 

and secure environment. The Departmental Cyber Security program enables Treasury to 

protect the sensitive information entrusted to the Department by the public, while also 

ensuring the availability of IT resources necessary for Treasury to perform its missions. 

Investments in TFIN facilitate Treasury’s contributions to national security. 

The following section describes what the Treasury Department expects to accomplish 

with the requested DSCIP funding and the specific benefits each program will provide at 

the completion of FY 2010.

Annex Repair and Maintenance - The 90-year old Treasury Annex, owned by the 

Department, is considered an American treasure; the building is part of the Lafayette 

Square National Register Historic District. The FY 2010 proposed funding for the Annex 

Repair and Maintenance (ARM) project will enable Treasury to address the immediate 

need to correct critical building and system deficiencies to ensure the safety and health of 

the occupants. The FY 2010 ARM priorities include correcting failing systems, primarily 

focusing on an overhaul of the elevator system. 

Cyber Security - Cyber Security funds will be used to ensure that Treasury addresses new 

and advanced threats to its systems and ability to protect its information and critical 

services, all Treasury Department’s Critical Infrastructure / Key Resources (CI/KR) are 

identified and associated security weaknesses identified and mitigated, security 

performance is continuously monitored for all sensitive and classified systems, and that 

greater protection is implemented against network intrusions thereby mitigating the risk 

of significant disruptions and delays in the Department’s business activities. Funding in 

this area will also support security reviews of selected bureau security programs and 

systems, the comprehensive Department-wide cyber security policy, governance and 

performance management framework to protect cyber assets, and developing technical 

strategies to implement key Administration security initiatives, and support enhanced 

protection of the Department’s classified systems, thus directly support the goal of better 

protecting the national security, by reducing the risk to those systems. 

Treasury Foreign Intelligence Network (TFIN) - The TFIN system is the Department’s 

only SCI-level information system that receives and stores information used to and 

produce daily intelligence analysis for senior Treasury policymakers as well as actionable 

intelligence for use by other agencies within the Intelligence Community (IC). The 

system enables analysts to provide critical insights into the threats to economic stability 

in countries/regions important to U.S. interests and policy objectives, and to assess 

financial vulnerabilities, impact of sanctions, and threats to critical financial 

infrastructure. Program management goals will be achieved through establishment and 

timely, diligent monitoring of meaningful cost, schedule, and performance metrics 

focused on supporting the Treasury’s intelligence mission by ensuring reliable, secure, 

efficient, effective, and technologically current IT infrastructure and software 

applications. 
DSCIP - 13 

Key TFIN performance metrics include: user satisfaction with system (as assessed 

through a survey); timeframes for responding to and resolving user service requests and 

identified problems; percent of time the system is available to users; security compliance 

levels (as related to incident reporting and resolution, system and data recovery times, 

and successful backups); and variance from cost and schedule baselines.

Section 4 – Supporting Materials 

4B – Information Technology Strategy 

As the steward of the United States government’s finances, the Treasury Department 

plays a critical role in U.S. and global economies. We effectively manage the 

Government’s finances, promote economic opportunity at home and abroad through 

sound fiscal policy, work for entitlement reform, strengthen trade and investment 

policies, and maximize voluntary tax compliance. Comprised of thirteen bureaus, each 

with at times very disparate missions, the Treasury Department collects over $2 trillion 

annually, manages over $8 trillion in debt and performs more than $58 billion in daily 

cash transactions. Successfully executing on this mission requires not only an extreme 

focus on protecting the security of our nation’s monetary assets, but also on stimulating 

U.S. economic growth and strengthening our financial institutions and markets. None of 

this could be done today without Information Technology. 

As Treasury's goals and objectives shift to address new economic challenges, so must its 

IT capabilities. In developing our Information Technology Strategy it is the 

Department’s goal to provide an enterprise-wide set of information technology 

capabilities that are effective, efficient, flexible and elastic. In summary, Treasury’s IT 

Strategy is built on four major tenets: 

1) The Department will seek to continually transform Treasury's IT organization to 

further enhance our enterprise efficiency and effectiveness. This will be done through an 

even tighter focus on expense optimization, even greater leverage of business and IT 

capabilities across the Department, and by further enabling an agile, delivery focused IT 

organization. 

2) The Department will continually provide innovative solutions to its business needs 

while also ensuring the long term viability of our core systems. Treasury will enable this 

by becoming an information centric organization, by ensuring its core platforms are 

operating as efficiently and effectively as possible, by further enabling its mobile 

workforce and by delivering solutions that promote greater transparency to, and 

collaboration with its customers. 

3) The Department will ensure all of its IT capabilities are adequately secure, robust and 

reliable enough to serve department-wide needs. In support of this, the Department will 

establish even tighter control and protection of its information assets and it will 

continually enhance its information and communication services to make them as reliable 

and robust as economically viable. 

4) The Department will provide high quality solutions by being diligent in its focus on 

enabling its people, improving our processes, managing risk and meeting its customer's 

needs.
