1B – Vision, Priorities and Context 

Departmental Offices (DO) is the headquarters bureau for the Department of the Treasury. It 

provides leadership in economic and financial policy, financial intelligence and enforcement, and 

general management. Treasury utilizes effective management, policies, and leadership, to 

protect our national security through targeted financial actions, by promoting the stability of the 

nation's financial markets, and by ensuring the government's ability to collect revenue and fund 

its operations. 

FY 2012 Key Accomplishments, FY 2013 and 2014 Priorities: 

The Department’s Strategic Plan for FY 2012-2015 guides program and budget decisions for the 

Departmental Offices (DO). The FY 2014 budget request supports DO’s leading role in 

accomplishing the Treasury strategic goals: 

 Repair and Reform the Financial System and Support the Recovery of the Housing Market 

 Enhance U.S. Competitiveness and Promote International Financial Stability and Balanced 

Global Growth 

 Protect our National Security through Targeted Financial Actions 

 Pursue Comprehensive Tax and Fiscal Reform 

 Manage the Government’s Finances in a Fiscally Responsible Manner 
DO - 4 

DO also provides critical support and leadership to both of the Department’s near term priority 

goals: 

 Increase voluntary tax compliance 

 Increase electronic transactions with the public to improve service, prevent fraud, and reduce 

costs 

Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence (TFI)

In FY 2012, the Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence supported Treasury’s strategic 

and priority goals by implementing sanctions (via Executive Order and legislation); these serve 

as both comprehensive and selective tools to accomplish U.S. foreign policy and national 

security goals, by blocking assets or imposing trade restrictions. In FY 2012, TFI implemented 

targeted sanctions blocking property of Iran, and restricting activity with Iranian financial 

institutions, individuals using technology to abuse human rights in Iran and Syria, foreign 

sanctions evaders, persons threatening the peace and stability of Yemen, and parties which were 

threatening the peace and stability of Burma. 

Furthermore, Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) designated 137 individuals 

and entities under the Foreign Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act, including key leaders, 

operatives, and fronts of Mexico’s Sinaloa and Los Zetas cartels; the Barakzai network in 

Afghanistan; an Iranian Qods Force general overseeing Afghan heroin trafficking through Iran 

and the Parti Karkerani Kurdistan (PKK) in Turkey; the Chacon Rossell drug trafficking 

organization in Guatemala and Central America; the John Zabaneh drug trafficking organization 

in Belize; and the Cheaitelly drug trafficking organization in Panama, Lebanon, and South 

America. 

Each of these actions was supported by critical analysis of intelligence by Treasury’s Office of 

Intelligence and Analysis (OIA). In FY 2012, OIA also provided intelligence analysis of 

regional and specific country economies, the impact of U.S. and multilateral sanctions, and 

targeted organizations and individuals that would threaten the United States. 

Treasury also worked to strengthen global standards to combat and prevent financial crimes and 

terrorist financing. TFI participated in or reviewed 27 mutual evaluations of various countries’ 

compliance with international anti-money laundering, terrorist financing, and counter-terrorist 

financing (AML/CFT) standards. TFI also provided training and technical assistance to its 

counterparts abroad, which focused on creating effective AML/CFT frameworks and financial 

regulations capable of combating terrorist financing. 

FY 2013 and 2014 priorities for the Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence include: 

 Increasing focus on Transnational Criminal Organizations (TCO) and illegal activities 

including arms and narcotics trafficking, human smuggling, and weapons proliferation; 

 Collecting, analyzing, and disseminating information concerning illicit financing and 

national security threats; 

 Disrupting and dismantling the financial networks of those who threaten national security or 

engage in illicit financing including drug cartels and money laundering networks; 

 
DO - 5 

 Assisting partner countries in the development and implementation of AML/CFT regimes 

compliant with international standards; 

 Maintaining economic sanctions against rogue regimes to encourage governments to 

renounce WMD programs, cease sponsorship of terrorist activities, and respect and protect 

the human rights of their citizens; and 

 Identifying opportunities for Treasury to use its authorities to combat and counter terrorist 

financing in Africa, the Middle East, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. 

Domestic Finance (DF) and Tax Policy (TP) 

Domestic Finance 

In FY 2012, the Office of Domestic Finance supported Treasury’s strategic and priority goals, by 

working to preserve confidence in the US Treasury market by effectively managing federal fiscal 

operations, strengthening financial institutions and markets, and promoting access to credit, and 

improving financial access and education in service of America’s long-term economic strength 

and stability. 

In FY 2012, Office of Financial Innovation and Transformation (FIT) coordinated the issuance 

of a new intra-governmental transactions policy and agency scorecard to address a long-standing 

material weakness on the government’s consolidated financial statements. FIT also began to 

centralize the servicing of agency accounts receivable, and led the effort to revise the 

government’s policy for federal financial management system requirements and associated 

compliance framework for the Federal Financial Management Improvement Act of 1996. 

 

FIT works to transform federal financial management by facilitating the development and 

government-wide deployment of innovative, common, cost effective solutions that improve data 

quality and create efficiencies. Treasury is proposing to transfer FIT from DO to the Bureau of 

the Fiscal Service (Fiscal Service) in FY 2014. For 2013 and 2014 priorities, please refer to the 

Fiscal Service chapter. 

From October 1, 2011 through August 10, 2012, the Office of Debt Management conducted 224 

auctions, issuing over $6.5 trillion in marketable securities, and raising more than $985 billion in 

new cash to fund U.S. Government’s operations. 

In FY 2012, Treasury auctions continued to see strong demand across the yield curve as 

evidenced by above average bid-to-cover ratios. Nevertheless, Treasury borrowing remained 

elevated by historical standards and yields reached historic lows. 

The Federal Insurance Office, housed within DF administers the Terrorism Risk Insurance 

Program (TRIP). Authorized through December, 2014, TRIP provides for a transparent system 

of shared public and private compensation for insured losses resulting from acts of terrorism. 

FY 2013 and 2014 priorities for the Office of Domestic Finance include: 

 Providing Treasury’s programmatic oversight and administrative responsibilities under the 

Resources and Ecosystems Sustainability, Tourist Opportunities, and Revived Economies of 

the Gulf Coast States Act of 2012 (RESTORE Act). 
DO - 6 

 Administering and advising on new initiatives to improve financial education and access. 

 Administering a new Pay for Success Incentive Fund, which will support nonprofit and other 

investors, via credit enhancements and direct grants, who finance preventive social programs 

when those programs prove that they can post savings to the Federal government and achieve 

the goal for their target population. The Pay for Success Incentive Fund will ensure that 

taxpayers get the best possible returns for funds expended, protect government assets, and 

minimize losses in relation to social benefits provided. 

 Issuing required annual reports, such as a study on how to modernize and improve the system 

of insurance regulation in the United States. These reports will be completed by the Federal 

Insurance Office. 

 Building on the Office of Debt Management’s 2012 debt issuance modeling efforts to 

enhance a recently developed short-term debt issuance optimization model and a long-term 

stochastic simulation model. FY 2013 efforts include incorporating floating rate notes and 

mark-to-market in both the short- and long-term optimization models. The Office will also 

develop a quantitative high-frequency database for monitoring and analyzing Treasury 

market liquidity, trading activity, and term structure. 

Tax Policy 

Tax Policy supports the Department’s strategic goal of managing the government’s finances in a 

fiscally responsible manner. Tax Policy works with the IRS in support of Treasury’s priority 

goal to Increase Voluntary Tax Compliance by promulgating regulations and proposing 

legislation that seeks to streamline and modernize existing rules and procedures. The office also 

supports Treasury’s strategic goal to Enhance U.S. Competitiveness and Promote International 

Financial Stability and Balanced Global Growth by negotiating and entering into tax agreements 

that encourage cross-border trade and investment. 

In FY 2012, The Office of Tax Policy continued to support the implementation of the Patient 

Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 

2010 (ACA). In FY 2012, the Office released guidance on over a dozen tax provisions of the 

ACA, including tax credits, revenue provisions, and insurance market reforms. 

The Office of Tax Policy published proposed regulations on the Foreign Account Tax 

Compliance Act (FATCA), requiring foreign banks to report and disclose U.S. accounts in 

foreign financial institutions. During FY 2012, the Office published a model intergovernmental 

agreement to implement FATCA on a government-to-government basis in jurisdictions where 

there are legal impediments to having local financial institutions report directly to the Internal 

Revenue Service. The model agreement was developed in consultation with European nations. 

The Office of Tax Policy issued guidance on implementing the registered return preparer 

initiative; temporary and proposed regulations regarding the deduction and capitalization of 

expenditures related to tangible property; and procedures governing the treatment of property 

acquired from a decedent after December 31, 2009 as well as the portability of the gift and estate 

tax exclusion. 
DO - 7 

FY 2013 and 2014 priorities for the Office of Tax Policy include: 

 Developing a comprehensive proposal for corporate tax reform in support of the 

Administration’s efforts to create a simpler, fairer, and more robust tax system. 

 Finalizing regulations to implement the FATCA and concluding bilateral agreements with 

foreign governments to implement FATCA. 

 Continuing implementation of the Affordable Care Act provisions, the majority of which go 

into effect in 2014. 

 Issuing guidance to streamline the standards for written tax advice under Circular 230, which 

is anticipated to remove unnecessary costs for taxpayers who obtain tax advice. 

 Issuing guidance on the tax treatment of relief provided by the Principal Reduction 

Alternative of the Home Affordable Modification Program and the National Mortgage 

Settlement. This supports the Secretary’s efforts to ease the burden on homeowners affected 

by the housing crisis. 

Office of International Affairs (IA) and Economic Policy (EP)

Economic Policy 

During FY 2012, Economic Policy staff provided substantial support to the Secretary in 

developing the FY 2013 Federal Budget. Economic Policy continued to participate in the 

development and implementation of housing policy, including the Making Home Affordable 

program. Economic Policy continued to produce the corporate bond yield curve, used by 

pension plans to discount their pension liabilities. In FY 2014, Economic Policy will focus on 

computing the yield curve back in history to allow the calculation of 25-year average segment 

rates. 

International Affairs 

IA supports Treasury’s strategic goal to Enhance U.S. Competitiveness and Promote 

International Financial Stability and Balanced Global Growth. IA also supports President 

Obama’s cross-agency priority goal of doubling exports within five years. In FY 2012, IA 

focused on six priority themes: 

Trade and Investment: IA promotes free trade and open markets to increase opportunities for 

U.S. exporters. At the Strategic & Economic Dialogue (S&ED) the U.S. and China agreed to 

intensify negotiations for a bilateral investment treaty. In 2012, U.S. exports reached historic 

highs, increasing nearly 36 percent over the 2009 levels. 

Global Rebalancing and Global Growth: Large, persistent imbalances between countries 

threaten economic growth, so Treasury advocates for policies like market-determined exchange 

rates. In FY 2012, in the aggregate, G-20 surpluses and deficits declined, most notably in China, 

where trade and current account surpluses both have fallen to 2.6 percent from a peak of 8.8 and 

10.1 percent of GDP, respectively. 
DO - 8 

European Financial Crisis: Treasury worked with its European counterparts to encourage the 

establishment of the European Stability Mechanism and the Outright Monetary Transactions loan 

facility, two powerful tools intended to help protect the economies in Europe and safeguard 

domestic economic growth. Recent turmoil in Cyprus, however, demonstrates the need to 

remain vigilant. 

International Financial Policy Coordination: Treasury promotes international financial regulatory 

policies that complement those in the U.S. such as recent Financial Stability Board work 

identifying Global Systemically Important Financial Institutions. In FY 2012, the St. Louis 

Federal Reserve Bank’s Financial Stress Index declined from 0.9 to -0.3. 

Transitions in the Arab Spring Countries: Treasury’s leadership role in the Deauville Partnership 

successfully launched the Transition Fund and the Capital Markets Access Initiative. By 

working to expand economic opportunity abroad, Treasury helps to protect U.S. national security 

by alleviating the root causes of extremism, and promotes U.S. economic growth by laying 

foundations for new export markets. 

Development: Similarly, Treasury manages U.S. investments in the Multilateral Development 

Banks (MDBs) to advance our national security and economic policy priorities around the world. 

In FY 2012 Treasury launched the Development Impact Awards to highlight and incentivize 

strong performance; monitored and reported on General Capital Increase reforms; and continued 

support of the Global Agriculture and Food Security Program (GAFSP) as five impact evaluation 

baseline studies were completed and $180 million in funding was awarded. 

In FY 2013 and 2014, Treasury expects to focus on the same priority themes. Expected work 

includes efforts to: 

 Develop and promote metrics to evaluate progress toward balanced global growth; 

 Promote international financial stability by advocating for a European banking and fiscal 

union; 

 Work to identify and resolve cross-border inconsistencies in derivatives regulation; 

 Continue working to implement G-8 initiatives in the Middle East and North Africa region in 

order to promote our national security and domestic economic growth; and 

 Leverage the U.S. presidency of the G-8 to focus on and mobilize additional pledges for 

GAFSP and other development efforts. 

Consistent with the Cross-Agency Priority Goal of doubling U.S. exports by the end of 2014. 

Treasury will continue to place special emphasis on work promoting free trade and open 

markets. Treasury will work to expand export opportunities for U.S. businesses, particularly in 

the Asia and Pacific region, through multiple activities, including: negotiating financial services 

commitments in the Trans-Pacific Partnership, working with the Office of the United States 

Trade Representative to complete a dialogue with the European Union on whether to launch 

comprehensive trade negotiations; and advancing export credit negotiations with China and all 

other major providers of official export financing. 
DO - 9 

Treasury-wide Management and Programs 

The Department exceeded its FY 2012 goal for acquisition savings and achieved its FY 2012 

procurement goals for all socio-economic categories (including small, small disadvantaged, 

woman-owned, service disabled veteran-owned, and Historically Underutilized Business Zone 

(HUBZone) businesses), as well as goals for reduction in high risk contracts. 

 

During FY 2012, DO Operations continued its efforts to reduce leased space and increase 

occupant density in existing space. This consolidation cut across Treasury bureaus and included 

the relocation of DO warehouse inventory into a Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) leased 

warehouse with available space. 

 

In FY 2012, the Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO) focused its efforts on several 

overarching initiatives including updating its strategic framework which is the basis for Treasury 

IT initiatives for the next several years; enhancing the governance structure and processes to 

target proper oversight and priority-setting for IT initiatives; and developing a plan for the 

redesign and consolidation of Treasury infrastructure. 

FY 2013 and 2014 priorities for Treasury-Wide Management include: 

 Consolidating certain warehouses used by the Bureau of the Fiscal Service, the Internal 

Revenue Service, and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency into a BEP warehouse 

which is already shared with the U.S. Mint and DO. 

 Continuing to redesign DO office space to increase the number of workstations and 

consolidate leases. 

 Continue working to enable Treasury to provide mobile computing, capacity to address big 

data needs, and support for multiple federal CIO/OMB initiatives including Digital 

Government, Data Center Consolidation, and Shared First.

Foreign Operations, and Related Agencies appropriation. 

Transfer ....................................................................................................... -$1,800,000 / -8 FTE

Office of Financial Innovation and Transformation -$1,800,000 / -8 FTE 

Treasury proposes to realign the Office of Financial Innovation and Transformation (FIT) from 

the Office of the Fiscal Assistant Secretary in DO to the Bureau of the Fiscal Service (Fiscal 

Service). This proposed realignment would transfer eight FTE and $1.8 million in appropriated 

resources from the DO S&E base to the Fiscal Service S&E base. Placing FIT within the Fiscal 
DO - 13 

Service will improve the planning and implementation of FIT’s initiatives by more closely 

aligning strategic direction with operational implementation which is performed by Fiscal 

Service. The Fiscal Assistant Secretary will continue to provide high-level policy guidance and 

oversight of FIT under this structure. 

Program Decreases .................................................................................... -$1,435,000 / +0 FTE

Terrorism and Financial Intelligence contract reductions -$821,000 / +0 FTE 

TFI will reduce contractor support by $121,000. An additional $700,000 reduction will affect 

intelligence analysis and related services. This decrease reduces TFI reliance on contractor 

personnel, thereby saving taxpayer dollars. TFI staff will be realigned when necessary to address 

surge workload requirements. 

Training/Background investigation contract reductions -$69,000 / +0 FTE 

TFI will reduce non-salary expenses in the area of training and the administration of background 

investigations. Treasury will eliminate 10-15 investigations annually by reviewing the 

requirements for previously cleared personnel to maintain access to classified information prior 

to commencing security clearance renewal investigations. Depending upon the type of 

clearance, the costs vary greatly. 

International Affairs travel reductions -$225,000 / +0 FTE 

IA will evaluate alternatives to some travel, in order to achieve the same programmatic output at 

a lower cost. For example, IA will assess when longer duration travel that covers multiple 

objectives is more cost effective than shorter duration travel that covers a single objective. IA 

established a staff-led Travel Working Group with a mandate to develop recommendations for 

reducing travel spending while minimizing the impact on programmatic outcomes. 

International Affairs contract reductions -$320,000 / +0 FTE 

IA will save $185,000 by terminating two personnel contracts that provide several policy offices 

access to surge administrative capacity. Additionally, IA will not backfill departing, nonmission critical locally employed staff working with Treasury Attachés at select posts around the 

world, generating approximately $135,000 in savings. 

Program Increases .................................................................................. +$17,400,000 / +5 FTE

Financial Capability Innovation Fund +$5,000,000 / +1 FTE 

Treasury requests $5,000,000 and one FTE to administer a Financial Capability Innovation 

initiative that will support development of financial access and financial capability tools targeted 

to low- and moderate income persons, to encourage savings and improve their financial 

management capabilities. 

Gulf Coast Restoration Trust Fund +$2,400,000 / +3 FTE 

The Resources and Ecosystems Sustainability, Tourist Opportunities, and Revived Economies of 

the Gulf Coast States Act of 2012 (RESTORE Act) established the Gulf Coast Restoration Trust 

Fund (Trust Fund) to hold 80 percent of the civil and administrative penalties collected from 

parties responsible for the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. The newly established Gulf Coast 

Restoration Council and Treasury will administer the penalties supporting environmental and 

economic restoration of the Gulf Coast region. The RESTORE Act gives Treasury significant 
DO - 14 

new programmatic responsibilities relating to expenditures from the Trust Fund, including: 

performing certain ministerial duties regarding the investment, deposit, and disbursement of 

funds; establishing compliance and auditing procedures; and providing independent oversight of 

the states to ensure that amounts in the Trust Fund are expended as intended. 

Gulf Coast Restoration Trust Fund Direct Component +$5,000,000 / +0 FTE 

Funds are requested for administration of the components of the Gulf Coast Resotration Trust 

Fund; these include the Direct component and Centers of Excellence Research Grant Program. 

In administering these components, Treasury will stand up all of the functions of a grant program 

and hire contractors with subject matter expertise to review grant applications, issue grants, and 

administer awarded grants. 

State Small Business Credit Initiative +$2,000,000 / +0 FTE 

Recipients of federal transfers under the State Small Business Credit Initiative (SSBCI) manage 

programs that improve access to capital for small businesses. The SSBCI will expand 

individualized technical assistance to state-level program managers in order to increase the 

effectiveness and rate of deployment of SSBCI funds. Since the SSBCI ends in 2017, some 

states may not find it worthwhile to independently invest in key staff to build capacity. This 

expansion of current efforts will provide individualized technical assistance to an additional 10 

states that received transfers under SSBCI of approximately $13 million each. Technical 

assistance services will include training and support for program design, operations, and outreach 

to financial institutions provided by field staff. State-level programs are designed to catalyze 

private lending or investing to small businesses at a ratio of $10 in private funds to $1 in SSBCI 

funds. Enabling an additional 10 states to fully deploy credit support under SSBCI could result 

in up to $1.3 billion in private loans to or investment in small business. 

Treasury-wide Audit +$1,500,000 / +0 FTE 

Treasury anticipates the current audit fees will increase by $1,500,000 beginning with the 

FY 2013 audit period and continue at the increased rate through FY 2017. The previous fixedprice contract contained five option years ending in FY 2012. A new contract containing 

multiple option years is being competed and will be executed commencing with the FY 2013 

audit period. 
DO - 15 

Treasury Evidence and Evaluation (incl. Intl Affairs Evaluator) +$1,500,000 / +1 FTE 

Financial Education: Treasury requests $1,335,000 for the Office of Consumer Policy to

conduct research and evaluation in the areas of financial education and financial access in an 

effort to identify scalable, effective, evidence-based policy interventions. Efforts will include 

research and demonstrations to test the efficacy of policy interventions designed to increase the 

financial readiness and strengthen the financial knowledge of young people. This initiative is in 

line with the stated focus of the Financial Literacy and Education Commission (FLEC), a 21-

member interagency working group of which Treasury serves as chair, and recommendations 

from the President’s Advisory Council on Financial Capability. Treasury will also conduct 

research to identify barriers to financial access, particularly among low- to moderate-income 

households, and potentially implement pilot demonstrations to test strategies for increasing 

access to high quality financial products. 

International Affairs: The Office of International Affairs requests $165,000 and 1 FTE to build 

capacity in the use of evidence and evaluation to help shape resource allocations and improve 

performance across IA’s portfolio. Initial projects for IA’s program evaluator will leverage data 

from the Multilateral Development Banks to better mitigate threats to national security, expand 

export opportunities for American businesses, and address global challenges in areas like food 

security and the environment. The Program Evaluator would work closely with programmatic 

and operational staff to identify and develop sources of performance data across the portfolio to 

be integrated into the budgeting process.

($55,475,000 from direct appropriations, and $1,358,000 from reimbursable resources): 

The offices in this budget activity promote economic growth in the U.S. by producing technical 

economic analyses for the Secretary and advancing U.S. economic and financial policy priorities 

around the world. 

Office of Economic Policy (EP) 

This office provides technical analysis, economic forecasting, and policy guidance on issues 

relating to economic and fiscal policy. EP monitors economic developments and trends in the 

United States and assists in the formulation of policies to stimulate economic growth and job 

creation. Analysis performed by EP staff enhances policymakers’ understanding of key 

economic issues so that they are better able to formulate policies that will benefit the U.S. 

economy. The office also supports the Secretary of the Treasury in his roles as Chairman and 

Managing Trustee of the Social Security and Medicare Boards of Trustees. Finally, EP produces 

the corporate bond yield curve mandated by the Pension Protection Act of 2006. EP provides 

policy makers with timely information on economic developments and robust analysis to support 

policies that foster economic growth. 

Description of Performance: 

Economic Policy continues to devote resources to fiscal, housing, and health care policy 

development and implementation. The office has also provided expertise on policy development 

in the areas of climate change, energy, education, small business lending, and infrastructure. 
DO - 19 

During the past year, EP staff began work to extend the corporate bond yield curve back 25 

years, to the mid-1980s, as required by the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act 

(MAP-21) passed in mid-2012. EP issued a joint report with the U.S. Department of Education 

that analyzes the economics of higher education, and another report with the Council of 

Economic Advisers that analyzes public spending on infrastructure. Finally, EP produced an 

estimate of state Total Taxable Resources, which estimates the relative fiscal capacity of states, 

and is used in determining the allocation of funds for the Community Mental Health Service and 

Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment block grant programs. 

Office of International Affairs (IA) 

The office’s mission is to help ensure the most favorable external environment for sustained jobs 

and economic growth in the United States. To that end, IA works to enhance U.S. 

competitiveness while protecting national security and to promote international financial stability 

and balanced global growth. IA economists produce international economic and financial policy 

analysis to support policymaking and to inform the office’s diverse but interrelated set of 

activities. These activities, most of which impact the Cross-Agency Priority Goal of doubling 

U.S. exports by the end of 2014, include promoting policy positions, securing commitments, and 

negotiating agreements around the world. The office engages with groups of countries on a 

multilateral basis at venues like the G-7/8, the G-20, and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) 

and in bilateral engagements either directly with counterparts in foreign ministries of finance or 

through structured forums like the U.S.-India Economic and Financial Partnership. The office 

places special emphasis on export-related work in Asia, which includes promoting free trade and 

open markets by co-leading the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement’s financial services 

negotiations; encouraging market-determined exchange rates through our leadership role in the 

U.S. - China Strategic & Economic Dialogue (S&ED); and promoting complementary financial 

standards and a level playing field for U.S. financial institutions by leading several work streams 

at the Financial Stability Board. 

Description of Performance: 

IA’s core programs include the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), 

the International Financial Institutions (IFIs), and the Office of Technical Assistance (OTA), as 

well as management of certain statutory responsibilities. As Chair of CFIUS, Treasury 

coordinates an interagency process to review certain foreign investments for national security 

risks in accordance with the procedures and deadlines specified in law and regulation. CFIUS 

continues to encourage foreign investment in the U.S. economy by completing the reviews in a 

timely fashion. 

Treasury also manages the U.S. government’s interests in the IFIs. The IMF helps protect global 

economic and financial stability and encourage market-determined exchange rates. Treasury’s 

leadership positions in the Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs): the World Bank, the Asian 

Development Bank, the African Development Bank, the European Bank of Reconstruction and 

Development, and the Inter-American Bank, help these institutions continue to promote 

economic growth, reduce poverty, support international trade and investment, mitigate emerging 

threats to the U.S. and global economies, and reinforce national security interests in key 

countries around the world. 
DO - 20 

Finance ministries and central banks of developing countries that have demonstrated strong 

commitments to reforming their financial systems or public financial management can receive 

direct assistance from OTA through its cadre of expert advisors. The technical assistance team 

leverages its funding to increase transparency and accountability, reduce corruption, and 

strengthen the development of market-based policies and practices in these economies. In time, 

these countries can develop into new markets for U.S. exporters, thus promoting jobs and 

economic growth at home. IA’s performance metrics are: 

 Timely Review of CFIUS Cases: This measure tracks compliance with statutory deadlines 

for completing national security reviews of transactions notified to the CFIUS to ensure that 

the CFIUS process is timely and efficient. In 2014, IA’s target for this measure is 100 

percent. 

 Percentage of MDB Grant and Loan Proposals Containing Satisfactory Framework for 

Results Measurement: This monitors the percentage of project proposals containing 

satisfactory performance measures in order to help ensure accountability in the lending and 

grant making of the MDBs. In FY 2012, 94 percent of proposals had performance measures, 

which met Treasury’s target of 90 percent. IA’s target for this measure is 92 percent in FY 

2013 and 94 percent in FY 2014.

 Office of Technical Assistance (OTA): OTA uses measures it developed to assess the level 

of counterparty engagement (Traction) and the degree of positive change in achieving project 

objectives (Impact). These measures, scored on a 5-point scale, are averaged across all 

projects to provide one overall measure of OTA’s performance. Program results for FY 2012 

were 3.9 for Traction (.3 above the 3.6 goal) and 3.1 for Impact (meeting the goal) - the 

highest scores the program has earned since the evaluation process began. In FY 2013 and 

2014, IA’s target for Traction is 3.6 and its target for Impact is 3.1. 

 Monitor Quality and Enhance Effectiveness of International Monetary Fund (IMF) Lending 

Through Review of IMF Country Programs: This measure tracks efforts by IA staff to 

monitor the quality of IMF country programs and ensure the application of appropriately 

high standards for the use of IMF resources. IA met its performance target in FY 2012 (100 

percent of IA staff reviews completed prior to the IMF Board meeting) compared with actual 

performance of 100 percent in FY 2011. In FY 2013 and 2014, IA’s target for this measure 

remains 100 percent. 

 Monitor Quality and Enhance Effectiveness of MDB Lending through Review of MDB 

Grant and Loan Proposals: IA reviews MDB loan and grant proposals to ensure that funded 

projects meet several key goals, including having a measurable development impact, 

supporting long-term U.S. objectives, and being consistent with congressional mandates. In 

FY 2014, IA aims to review 100 percent of MDB loan and grant proposals prior to the date 

of the relevant Executive Board meeting.

The offices within Domestic Finance and Tax Policy monitor and provide advice and assistance 

to the Secretary in their respective areas, as well as on financial markets and the regulation of 

financial institutions. 

Office of Tax Policy 

This office provides legal advice, technical analysis, economic forecasting, and policy guidance 

regarding the development and implementation of the Department’s tax policies, including 

proposals for legislation. The office’s Tax Analysis division provides economic analysis of the 

official Administration forecasts and estimates, of proposed tax legislation, and conducts 

research regarding how tax policies affect businesses and individuals. 
DO - 22 

Office of Domestic Finance (DF) 

Domestic Finance works to preserve confidence in the U.S. Treasury market, effectively manage 

federal fiscal operations, strengthen financial institutions and markets, promote access to credit, 

and improve financial access and education in service of America’s long-term economic strength 

and stability. DF is responsible for overseeing implementation of the Dodd-Frank Act, financing 

the federal government at the lowest cost over time, and developing comprehensive long-term 

solutions for the nation’s housing finance system. 

Description of Performance: 

Implementation of Dodd-Frank continued to be an important priority of the office in FY 2012. 

DF’s FY 2012 priorities also focused on financial markets and institutions, housing market 

finance, and debt management issues; execution of Treasury’s small business initiatives; and 

modernization of operations and financial systems. In conjunction with these policy objectives, 

Domestic Finance focused on coordinating with the Financial Stability Oversight Council, 

standing up the Office of Financial Research, and winding down the Office of Financial 

Stability’s investments. 

Domestic Finance is making significant changes to increase the use of electronic transactions in 

Treasury operations. This initiative will save taxpayers more than $500 million over five years. 

Treasury’s FY 2013 target of 93 percent of collections done electronically has already been 

exceeded: 97 percent of the dollar amount collected in FY 2012 was collected electronically. 

DF’s performance metrics are: 

 Variance between estimated and actual receipts (annual forecast) (%): As part of managing 

the government’s central operating account and cash position, the Office of Fiscal 

Projections (OFP) forecasts federal receipts, outlays, and debt transactions to ensure that 

adequate funds are available daily to cover federal payments. To determine its overall 

effectiveness, OFP measures the variance between actual and projected government receipts 

and outlays. The actual variance for FY 2012 was 3.8 percent for receipts, significantly lower 

than the 5.0 percent target for FY 2012, and a 0.6 percentage improvement over FY 2011. 

The target for FY 2013 and FY 2014 is 4.5 percent.

3D – Terrorism and Financial Intelligence 

($97,738,000 from direct appropriations, and $32,797,000 from reimbursable resources): 

The Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence (TFI) oversees and marshals the 

Department’s intelligence, enforcement, and economic sanctions functions that strengthen 

national security with the goal of safeguarding financial systems against illicit use and combating 

rogue nations, terrorist facilitators, money launderers, drug kingpins, proliferators of weapons of 

mass destruction, and other national security threats. 

TFI deploys its full range of financial authorities to track, degrade, and disrupt threats to national 

security from state and non-state actors, and has become a center of excellence in tracking and 

targeting the conduits through which illicit money is moved. TFI’s unique capabilities leverage 

intelligence, law enforcement, sanctions, regulatory, and diplomatic tools in service of this 

mission. The tools TFI uses span a wide range and include the following activities: 

 Collection, analysis, and dissemination of financial and other information concerning illicit 

financing and national security threats; 

 Disruption and dismantling of financial networks of those who threaten national security or 

engage in illicit financing; 

 Development of policy, laws, and regulations to safeguard the U.S. and international 

financial systems; 

 Coordination with partners, both at home and abroad, including the foreign policy, law 

enforcement and intelligence communities, to support anti-illicit finance efforts; and 

 Assistance to partner countries in developing and implementing anti-money laundering and 

counter terrorist financing regimes compliant with international standards. 

Description of Performance

In FY 2012, in keeping with its efforts to strengthen national security and protect the world’s 

financial systems, TFI continued to conduct effective anti-money laundering and combating the 

financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) actions to protect the integrity of markets and the global 

financial framework. TFI provided AML/CFT policy development, coordination, and coalitionbuilding and ensured unique access to valuable financial information. TFI also conducted allsource analysis on financial and other illicit support. TFI administers and enforces economic and 

trade sanctions based on U.S. foreign policy and national security under Treasury authorities. 

 Impact of TFI Programs and Activities: In order to gauge its performance, TFI created a 

composite measure consisting of three program office focus areas related to its mission and 

strategic goals, including customer outreach, increasing budget production of intelligence 

products, and implementing IT modernization projects. TFI exceeded its performance target 

on this composite measure. The FY 2014 goal for this metric is 8.5.

3E – Treasury-wide Management and Programs 

($36,266,000 from direct appropriations, and $18,358,000 from reimbursable resources): 

This budget activity includes offices that are responsible for the internal management and policy 

of the Department: the Office of the Chief Information Officer; the Office of Privacy, 

Transparency, and Records; the Office of the Procurement Executive; the Office of Human 

Capital Officer; the Office of Emergency Programs; the Office of the Deputy Chief Financial 

Officer; and the office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Management and Budget. 

Description of Performance: 

In FY 2012, Treasury made significant progress in promoting racial, ethnic, and gender diversity, 

as well as improving disabled and veteran inclusion. For example, Treasury hiring consisted of 

18 percent veterans, thereby exceeding the Treasury’s veteran hiring goal of 14 percent and 

increased the percentage of veterans in the Treasury workforce from nine percent in FY 2011 to 

11 percent in FY 2012. Treasury also met its FY 2012 disability hiring goal of 10 percent. To 

promote racial, ethnic, and gender diversity and inclusion, as well as to increase the 

representation of minorities and women in senior management positions, Treasury began 

executive diversity training and has issued a leadership statement on Diversity and Inclusion in 

support of the Department’s recruitment strategy. Additionally, Treasury achieved an average 

time-to-hire of 69 days, exceeding the 80-day government-wide goal. 

To reduce the Department real property footprint and maximize the use of existing real property 

assets, the Department identified new real property cost savings and more efficiently used space 

by consolidating expiring leases. The co-location of Community Development Financial 

Institutions Fund into the existing Departmental Office space, for example, is projected to save 

$24 million in real property costs. 

To comply with the contractor diversity mandates of the Dodd-Frank Act, the Department 

focused on small business contracting and improved outreach to Minority and Women-Owned 
DO - 25 

Businesses. In FY 2012, Treasury conducted two high level small business outreach events, and 

hosted vendor outreach sessions which were attended by 181 small businesses. 

For FY 2012, the Department received its thirteenth consecutive unqualified audit opinion on its 

Treasury-wide financial statements and an unqualified audit opinion on the Office of Financial 

Stability/TARP financial statements. Treasury is making great progress toward resolving the 

three remaining material weaknesses and exceeded the “percentage of timely completed planned 

corrective actions” goal for FY 2012 of 90 percent. 

 Treasury-wide FOIA Backlog: This metric shows the total number of Freedom of 

Information Act (FOIA) requests that are pending at Treasury at the end of the fiscal year 

that are beyond the statutory time period for a response. Treasury reduced its FOIA backlog 

by 15% between FY11 and FY12. The number of requests received, the complexity of a 

request, and the number of requests with voluminous responsive documents directly impacts 

the FOIA Backlog, especially for DO and IRS. FY 2012 ended with a backlog of 282, 

reduced from 333 in FY 2011. The FY 2013 target is 93, and the FY 2014 target has not yet 

been set. 

 Treasury-wide Footprint (Square Footage): This goal measures the total square footage 

occupied by Treasury’s owned and leased buildings. Management aims to generally reduce 

the total square footage over the course of several years, in order to use space more 

efficiently and consume fewer resources. 

 Treasury-wide Procurement savings: This goal measures percentage saved based on contract 

spending (excluding metals). The metric supports Treasury’s goal to advance efficiency and 

cost-effectiveness in the Department’s acquisition activities. In FY 2012, Treasury realized 

$243.6 million in acquisition savings versus its $92 million goal. The FY 2013 target is $95 

million and the FY 2014 target is projected to be similar. 

 Treasury-wide Percentage of Procurement Dollars Spent on Small Business: This goal 

measures the percentage of procurement dollars obligated toward small businesses (or 

Treasury’s overall small business goal) and highlights Treasury’s efforts to ensure that small 

businesses have the maximum practicable opportunity to provide goods and services to the 

federal government. Preliminary data shows that Treasury achieved 38.52 percent on its 

overall small business goal, exceeding its FY 2012 overall small business goal by over six 

percentage points. Treasury will continue to employ the successful strategies of targeted 

outreach, enhanced leadership accountability, new policies, new tools and resources, and 

increased intra-agency communication to achieve its overall small business goal in FY 2013 

of 32 percent. The FY 2014 goal has not yet been set. 
DO - 26 

 Treasury-wide Results-oriented Performance Culture Scores (Index of the Federal Employee 

Viewpoint Survey [FEVS]): This goal measures Treasury’s FEVS Results-Oriented 

Performance Culture Index Score. This year the results-oriented performance culture index 

score decreased by two percent, going from 59 percent positive responses in 2011 to only 57 

percent positive responses in 2012. Performance for this goal is achieved by ensuring 

through Treasury’s HR STAT process that bureaus are monitoring and working to improve 

performance in bureau-level FEVS action plans. In FY 2013, Treasury’s target is to improve 

its results-oriented performance culture index by two percent as indicated in the Treasurywide FEVS Action Plan.

Section 4 – Supplemental Information 

4A – Summary of Capital Investments 

Information Technology Capital Investments 

DO supports the Department’s Mobile Treasury strategy and is focused on leveraging Treasury 

enterprise data centers to provide flexible, customized information technology support for its 

customers. The strategy will securely facilitate enterprise mobile applications and will drive long 

term cost-savings through data center consolidation and expanded implementation of shared 

services. 

DO continues to strengthen its governance through DO and enterprise-wide investment review 

boards (IRBs). The IRBs are comprised of both senior business and technology leaders who help 

to ensure that all technology investment decisions align with the mission and goals of the 

Department. The IRBs help the CIO drive commodity IT cost-savings and other priorities. 

Total FY 2014 anticipated IT investment for DO is $110.487 million. For further detail on DO’s 

capital investments refer to the DO Capital Investment Strategy. 

Non-Information Technology Capital Investments 

The Main Treasury Building and Treasury Annex are the recipients of DO’s major non-IT capital 

investments. The Treasury Building is the oldest departmental building, and the third oldest 

federally occupied building in Washington, preceded only by the Capitol and the White House. 

The Main Treasury Building covers five stories and a raised basement and sits on five acres of 

ground. It was dedicated as a National Historic Landmark on October 18, 1972. The Treasury 

Annex building, owned by the Department, is part of the Lafayette Square National Register 

Historic District.
