the promotion of policies geared toward 

Explanation of Request 

The Fiscal Year (FY) 2011 President’s Budget 

Request for the Salaries and Expenses 

appropriation provides new resources to 

develop superior analytical capacity in the 

Offices of Domestic Finance, Economic Policy 

and Tax Policy; to bolster intelligence efforts 

in support of anti-money laundering and the 

financing of counterterrorism programs; to 

ensure that the US and other governments can 

coordinate more effectively on economic and 

other policies to ensure a stable international 

economy; to generate procurement influenced 

savings; and to support critical economic 

recovery policies and programs. 

In order to meet current and future economic 

challenges, Treasury staff must maintain vast 

expertise in an array of complex finance and 

government fields. The Budget supports this 

need by enhancing the capacity of Treasury's 

core analysis functions in Domestic Finance, 

Economic Policy and Tax Policy. These core 

investments will strengthen the Administration's effort to ensure a full recovery from 

the financial crisis and to prevent future crises. 

The Budget also provides resources for the 

Office of Intelligence Analysis through the 

Global Finance Initiative, to improve

DO FY 2011 Budget Highlights

FY 2011 Budget Adjustments 

FY 2010 Enacted 

The FY 2010 enacted direct appropriation for 

DO is $304,888,000. 

Base Realignment 

Base Realignment +$0 / +16.5 FTE 

This realigns Secure Communications 

positions previously located within the 

Treasury Working Capital Fund. These 

positions were moved back into DO because 

they only support DO, and not other bureaus. 

Maintaining Current Levels (MCLs) 

Adjustments Necessary to Maintain Current 

Levels +$5,584,000 / +0 FTE 

Funds are requested for the increase in agency 

retirement contribution percentages for GS 

employees from 11.2% to 11.5% for FY 2011 

as required by OPM, for non-pay related items 

such as contracts, travel, supplies, equipment 

and GSA rent, for the FY 2011 pay increase, 

and the FY 2011 cost of the 2010 pay raise. 

Non-Recurring Costs 

National Academy of Science Transfer -

$2,500,000 / +0 FTE 

Nonrecur of the National Academy of Science 

Transfer from FY 2010. 

Efficiencies Savings 

Departmental Offices IT Contract Savings -

$5,300,000 / +0 FTE 

Savings will be realized through more efficient 

use of and reduced IT consumption. These 

savings will be realized proportionally across 

all of DO because of the re-alignment of the 

Administration Programs budget activity based 

on a per capita ratio. 

Deputy Assistant Secretary of Operations -

$1,700,000 / +0 FTE 

Reduction will be realized through more 

efficient use and reduced consumption of 

utilities and a streamlined space plan. These 

Department of the Treasury - Budget in Brief FY 2011 Page 14
improvements will be shared at a per capita 

level across DO as a result of the re-alignment 

of Administration Programs dollars based on a 

proportional spread. 

Treasury Operations Center -$1,500,000 / +0 FTE 

Efficiencies will be gained through 

consolidating portions of existing offices 

within the new combined Treasury Operations 

Center (TOC). The combined TOC will use 

fewer contract communications officers and 

need less IT and telecommunications and 

subscriptions support. 

Centralized Services -$500,000 / +0 FTE 

Reduction will be realized through a decrease 

in the overall cost of IT servers previously 

funded through the Working Capital Fund. 

This savings is shared proportionally across 

DO. 

Terrorism and Financial Intelligence and 

International Affairs (TFI and IA) Office 

Savings -$1,603,000 / -3 FTE 

IA will achieve $587,000 in savings by 

reducing three positions supporting the 

markets room and TFI will achieve $1.016 

million in savings by reducing travel costs, 

overseas support, FOIA compliance, general 

administration, and training. 

Program Increases 

Domestic Finance Capacity Building 

+$16,681,000 / +24 FTE 

To more effectively respond to the financial 

crisis and to promote stronger and more 

equitable financial regulations going forward, 

the Department of Treasury needs additional 

resources to support more robust institutional 

capability within the Office of Domestic 

Finance. Additional resources will enable 

Domestic Finance to provide expert advice to 

the current Administration as well as future 

administrations, promoting a strong economy 

while maintaining fiscal discipline. 

International Affairs Multilateral Meetings 

Support G7, G-20, and APEC Meetings 

+$6,739,000 / +0 FTE 

The Administration is increasing the number 

of ministerial meetings it normally hosts in 

order to ensure that the US and other 

governments can coordinate more effectively 

on economic and other policies to ensure a 

stable international economy. This increase 

includes $400,000 in funding for official 

reception and representation expenses. 

Program Evaluations +$5,292,000 / +0 FTE 

As part of the Administration's governmentwide initiative to strengthen program 

evaluation, the request includes funds to 

support four substantive program evaluations 

at a total cost of $5.766 million, of which 

$474,000 can be funded out of existing 

administrative funding for the Office of 

Financial Stability. These evaluations include 

(1) Testing alternative mortgage modification 

strategies; (2) Evaluating CDFI Financial 

Innovations; (3) Linking mortgage/ 

administrative data to assess mortgage risk; 

and (4) A combined study to evaluate different 

approaches to no-fee debit cards and Volunteer 

Income Tax Assistance (VITA) prepaid cards. 

These studies are just a few of 23 evaluation 

proposals specifically approved by the Office 

of Management and Budget for 2011 to 

strengthen the quality and rigor of Federal 

program evaluation. 

Office of Intelligence and Analysis Global 

Finance Initiative +$3,600,000 / +10 FTE 

This builds upon the FY 2009 Global Finance 

Initiative to further leverage intelligence that 

informs and enables senior Treasury leaders in 

the formulation of policy and the execution of 

Treasury authorities, and allows the Office of 

Intelligence and Analysis (OIA) to play a 

critical role in coordinating global finance 

intelligence issues across the Intelligence 

Community. 

Department of the Treasury - Budget in Brief FY 2011 Page 15
Cyber Security +$3,000,000 / +0 FTE 

These base resources are used for departmentwide policy implementation of the Cyber 

Security program, and are not developmental. 

The reallocation would eliminate the 

challenges associated with a recurring program 

funded through an account which is developed 

as a zero-based budget, by providing a 

permanent funding stream for the ongoing 

operations and maintenance of the program. 

The Cyber Security program helps ensure the 

protection of Treasury systems and 

information against threats. The program 

provides greater protection against network 

intrusions, which can result in significant 

disruptions and delays in its business 

activities. 

Alpha Computers Modeling Systems 

+$2,750,000 / +0 FTE 

Alpha computers are large scale computer 

systems which support several critical 

applications for Departmental Offices, 

including the Office of Tax Policy tax models, 

the Federal Financing Bank Loan Management 

System, Economic Policy modeling, the 

Treasury Library catalog application and 

Domestic Finance applications. These 

computers were purchased and installed in FY 

2005 to meet the large scale processing and 

data storage requirements of these policy 

offices. Since these systems will be over six 

years old and are no longer manufactured by 

the vendor, this initiative will replace these 

systems with Intel-based 64 bit blade servers. 

Procurement Improvements +$2,500,000 / +10 FTE 

Treasury requires additional centralized 

procurement resources to identify, manage, 

execute, and make sustainable our initiative to 

generate (a) procurement savings, (b) 

additional strategic sourcing efforts within 

Treasury and across government and (c) 

systemic process improvements. 

Tax Policy Capacity Building +$2,400,000 / +8 FTE 

The Office of Tax Policy (OTP) is requesting 

eight new positions. These specialists will 

ensure that OTP can respond to new 

challenges of the financial crisis, support the 

financial stimulus plan, and address key tax 

policy issues such as climate change and 

health care. OTP will use these new resources 

to ensure that tax policies allow the 

Department of Treasury and the President to 

respond in a more flexible manner to new 

challenges and ensure policy revisions are 

made to support Administration priorities in 

these key areas. 

Recovery Act +$2,000,000 / +3 FTE 

Treasury requests three staff members and 

additional contract funds for an interagency 

agreement between the National Renewable 

Energy Research Lab and Treasury to review 

application for the Cash Payments for 

Specified Energy Property in Lieu of Tax 

Credits. These three additional staff members 

and additional contract support provide a vital 

function, managing a high profile program 

which is showing direct impacts to the 

American people. 

Economic Policy Capacity Building 

+$2,000,000 / +6 FTE 

The Office of Economic Policy (OEP) 

develops and analyzes policies in the housing 

and financial sectors. Demand for services has 

risen sharply. OEP needs additional 

specialized expertise to: analyze economic 

events and make policy proposals, understand 

how recent and future policy actions affect the 

economy, and use all available data efficiently. 

OEP needs staff expertise to provide analysis 

in utilizing various government and private 

databases which differ in structure and 

content. OEP requests resources to add 

economists and to create a small Data Analysis 

unit. The unit will maintain the large financial 

and nonfinancial databases needed to assess 

the financial and economic situation and 

Department of the Treasury - Budget in Brief FY 2011 Page 16
 support policy analyses. 

Global Tax Forum +$1,000,000 / +0 FTE 

The Global Forum was previously funded 

through the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) budget, 

but as part of a restructuring to become a more 

independent body, it is moving to a new 

funding structure that will require members of 

the Global Forum to fund it themselves 

(entirely outside the regular OECD budget). 

Declaration of the G-20 Heads of State on 

Strengthening the Financial System issued 

after the London summit in April 2009 calls on 

the Global Forum to conduct and strengthen 

objective peer reviews, based on existing 

processes, and to review its structure. On 

September 1-2, 2009, the Global Forum met in 

Mexico and began the process of 

implementing this new mandate. Treasury 

estimates that its contribution for continued 

U.S. participation this G-8 and G-20 

commitment, initiated at the behest of the 

United States, will be at least $1 million. 

Office of Intelligence and Analysis 

Counterproliferation +770,000 / + 2 FTE 

OIA leads Treasury’s effort to identify, 

monitor, and assess the evolution of 

proliferation finance networks and supports 

the use of targeted financial measures against 

them. OIA proposes to expand these activities 

to ensure Treasury’s continued progress in 

disrupting proliferation networks as they 

evolve and adapt, as well as to respond to 

emerging proliferation threats posed by state 

and non-state actors 

Office of Intelligence and Analysis IT Connectivity 

/Information Sharing +300,000 / + 0 FTE 

Resources dedicated to this initiative will help 

implement the Identity and Access 

Management capability in support of the 

National Intelligence Strategy Enterprise 

Objective, improve information integration 

and information sharing. This capability will 

establish an enterprise capability within the 

sensitive compartmentalized information (SCI) 

computer networks.

Description of Performance 

DO is continuing to work to develop more 

meaningful performance measures for policy 

offices. 

In fiscal year 2009, the Department 

discontinued using previous TFI Budget 

Activity performance measures. These measures are now used as indicators for the new 

composite measure that was developed in 

fiscal year 2009. TFI introduced and began to 

apply a composite performance measure in 

fiscal year 2009 to improve the assessment of 

its impact. 

The offices comprising the Treasury Wide 

Management (TWM) budget activity are 

committed to ensuring accountability and a 

well understood strategic direction in order to 

build a world-class organization. In FY 2009, 

offices have worked to objectively monitor 

their progress toward program outcomes and 

Treasury’s strategic objectives. 

Beginning in fiscal year 2008 the Office of the 

Deputy Assistant Secretary of Human 

Department of the Treasury - Budget in Brief FY 2011 Page 18
Resources-Chief Human Capital Officer 

(DASHR-CHCO) identified two performance 

measures to assess the effectiveness of human 

capital at the Treasury Department. First, how 

effective is Treasury at recognizing employee 

performance and second, does Treasury have 

the needed talent to achieve organizational 

success. 

For fiscal year 2009 Treasury received an 

overall score of 73 percent in employee 

performance, based on six bureaus receiving a 

passing score (OPM considers 80 points a 

“passing score” for agency bureaus). Agency 

bureaus that did not receive a passing score 

were required to submit and begin execution 

of an improvement plan. Treasury received a 

59.9 percent overall positive rating for the 

Talent Index and 65.7 percent overall positive 

rating for the Job Satisfaction Index. For the 

Performance Culture Index, Treasury received 

an overall positive rating score of 56.8 percent. 

In fiscal 2010 Treasury will review and update 

all human capital metrics as part of a strategy 

to improvement human capital strategic at the 

Treasury Department. 

For FY 2011, Treasury has made the decision 

to allocate administrative expenses for 

Departmental Offices by operational budget 

activity, instead of maintaining a separate 

budget activity just for administrative 

expenses. Where necessary, performance 

assessment will accommodate for this level 

increase, so that performance results will 

maintain historical comparability with prior 

years’ results. 

OMB revised the accelerated December 15, 

2009 deadline to February 16, 2010 and we are 

on target to meet the revised deadline for the 

FY 2009 Financial Report of the United States 

Government (FR). The statutory deadline for 

the FR is March 31, 2010. 

In FY 2009, Treasury’s Office of International 

Affairs (IA) exceeded all targets for its 

performance measures related to trade and 

investment. For FY 2009, 94 percent of 

Multilateral Development Bank (MDB) grant 

and loan proposals contained satisfactory 

results measurement frameworks, exceeding 

the Department’s target of 90 percent. In FY 

2008, the Office of Technical Assistance 

established two new performance measures to 

assess the effectiveness of assistance programs 

for client countries. The average rating in FY 

2009 was 3.7 for traction and 3.1 for impact, 

out of a possible score of 5.0. Performance 

targets for FY 2010 and FY 2011 for IA 

measures have been set to reflect current 

economic conditions.
