Explanation of Request 

 

The Department-wide Systems and Capital 

Investments Programs (DSCIP) request 

includes funds for Treasury Annex Repair and 

Maintenance (ARM), the Departmental Cyber 

Security program, and enhancements to the 

Treasury Foreign Intelligence Network 

(TFIN). 

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. 

With no major system overhaul in decades, 

the condition of the building has 

deteriorated. The FY 2010 request 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. Substantial 

corrective measures are necessary to address 

the infrastructure that is at the end of its life 

cycle. The FY 2010 ARM priority will be 

the replacement of the existing elevators, 

which have exceeded their life expectancy.

Cyber Security: Cyber Security funds will 

be used to help ensure the protection of 

Treasury systems and information against 

threats, identify and mitigate vulnerabilities, 

provide for cyber security governance 

throughout the Department, and ensure that 

the Department’s Critical Infrastructure / 

Key Resources (CI/KR) are identified The 

funds will also be used to develop security 

metrics and ensure they are regularly 

measured, advance the Department’s cyber 

security requirements to meet new threats 

and vulnerabilities, and to conduct 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 its business 

activities. Funding in this area will also 

support reviews of selected bureau security 

programs and 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. 

Treasury Foreign Intelligence Network: 

The TFIN system is the Department’s only 

Sensitive Compartmented Information-level 

system that receives and stores information 

used for 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 by 

Department of the Treasury - Budget in Brief FY 2010 Page 17
ensuring reliable, secure, efficient, effective, 

and technologically current IT infrastructure 

and software applications. Progress towards 

these goals will be measured through diligent 

monitoring of meaningful cost, schedule, and 

performance metrics focused on supporting the 

Treasury’s intelligence mission. 

Purpose of Program 

 

The Department-wide Systems and Capital 

Investments Programs (DSCIP) provides the 

Secretary of the Treasury resources to improve 

Departmental infrastructure and modernize 

business processes through strategic use of 

information technology in order to achieve 

operational efficiency and effectiveness.

Program Increases 

Annex Repair and Maintenance 

+$4,544,000 / +0 FTE The FY 2010 Budget 

proposed funding for the Annex Repair and 

Maintenance (ARM) project will enable 

Treasury to continue to address the immediate 

need to correct building and system 

deficiencies in order to ensure the safety and 

health of the building occupants. The FY 

2010 ARM priority will be the replacement of 

the existing elevators which have exceeded 

their life expectancy. This work will be 

possible, in part, due to the new building 

electrical service that is financed with funding 

in FY 2009. 

Cyber Security +$3,000,000 / +0 FTE The 

Cyber Security program protects the security 

of Treasury systems, and related information 

and services. This Department-wide program 

supports: the comprehensive security policy 

and compliance framework to protect cyber 

assets throughout the Department; protection 

of Departmental cyber critical infrastructure 

resources against attack; protection of 

classified systems and information through the 

National Security Program; and operation of 

both the Department-wide cyber security 

program for sensitive systems and the 

Treasury Computer Security Incident 

Response Center. 

Treasury Foreign Intelligence Network 

(TFIN) +$2,000,000 / +0 FTE For FY 2010, 

DSCIP funding is required to enhance the high 

priority, classified intelligence capabilities of 

TFIN, including application development 

designed to comport with changes that the 

Office of the Director for National Intelligence 

(ODNI)/CIO makes to the IC enterprise 

architecture to facilitate more timely 

intelligence information sharing and analysis.

Department-wide Systems and Capital 

Investments Programs ($9,544,000 from 

direct appropriation) -

The purpose of DSCIP funds 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.

Legislative Proposals 

 

DSCIP has no legislative proposals for 

FY 2010. 

Description of Performance 

 

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. 

For FY 2010, 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 FY 2010 ARM investment will build off 

of similar FY 2009 DSCIP investments in the 

program. 

In support of Treasury’s strategic goal to 

prevent terrorism and promote the nation’s 

security through strengthened international 

financial systems, FY 2010 DSCIP resources 

will be used to enhance the analytical 

capabilities available to intelligence analysts 

using the Treasury Financial Intelligence 

Network (TFIN). The planned enhancements 

will ensure the system remains compliant with 

increased security requirements and that 

Treasury intelligence systems facilitate the 

increasingly dynamic information exchange 

between agencies of the intelligence 

community. 

By enabling protection of information and 

information systems across Treasury, the 

Cyber Security program contributes to the 

accomplishment of all four Treasury strategic 

goals. Because Treasury is highly dependent 

on IT and is highly inter-connected with other 

agencies, the private sector and the public, a 

strong Departmental Cyber Security program 

is essential for Treasury mission success, 

particularly given the highly-advanced threats 

posed against the Department’s systems.
