1B – Vision, Priorities and Context

DSCIP supports the Treasury strategic goal to “Create a 21st-century approach to government by 

improving efficiency, effectiveness, and customer interaction” by enabling the Department to 

make investments in capital improvements that support the missions of all Treasury bureaus and 

programs. In recent years, DSCIP investments have supported cybersecurity, enterprise content 

management, the Office of Financial Innovation and Transformation, and the Main Treasury and 

Treasury Annex buildings. The current DSCIP request proposes critical one-time investments in 

information technology infrastructure and restoration of the Main Treasury South Plaza. 

Although these projects are important, the Department is unable to fund them without DSCIP 

support.

1. Shared IT Infrastructure Environment. Treasury requests funds to build and house a shared 

IT infrastructure environment in existing Treasury facilities and allow for analysis of large 

volumes of aggregate financial data in support of various mission-critical Treasury functions, 

including those of the Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence (TFI).

2. Treasury Building - Repairs and Renovations. Projects related to the Main Treasury Building 

and the Treasury Annex, which are owned by the Treasury Department, are Departmental 

Offices’ non-IT capital investments. The Main 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.

2A – Budget Increases and Decreases Description

Non-Recurring Costs .................................................................................-$2,725,000 / +0 FTE

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

DSCIP appropriations are one-time funding and do not recur.

Program Increases ..................................................................................+$10,690,000 / +0 FTE

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.

Section 3 – Budget and Performance Plan

3A – Department-wide Systems and Capital Investments Program

($10,690,000 from direct appropriations): 

The purpose of DSCIP funds is to improve infrastructure, modernize business processes, and 

increase efficiencies within Treasury and across the Government through capital investment. 

Cybersecurity. Cybersecurity provides for the protection of all information technology assets, 

including information, systems, networks, and processes relying on those assets, at the 

Department. Treasury continues to improve its cybersecurity systems, but challenges remain. 

For example, the Department must maintain and improve its ability to identify and stop 

malicious code before it enters Treasury networks and systems.

Funds in the amount of $1,500,000 were appropriated in FY 2015 for specialized technical 

services to implement a Data Leakage Protection (DLP) tool at non-IRS internet perimeter 

points. The DLP will examine data, including e-mail being sent from the Department, to identify 

whether any sensitive data, such as personally identifiable or classified information, is being 

inadvertently transmitted. It will then alert users and/or prohibit the transmission. DLP will 

support Treasury implementation of the Administration’s Controlled Unclassified Information 

(CUI) directive (See E.O. 13556) by examining data for CUI that should not leave Treasury’s 

networks or that should be encrypted prior to sending. DLP will also support the 

Administration’s efforts to improve insider threat detection by more closely monitoring the types

of data being sent out of Treasury’s networks. 

Treasury Building - Repairs and Renovations. The Main Treasury Building and the Treasury 

Annex are owned by the Department and are Departmental Offices’ capital investments. The 

age and historical significance of the Main Treasury Building and the Treasury Annex Building 

create special conditions that do not exist in many other Federal office facilities. Continual 

upkeep, with close attention to historic preservation, is necessary in order to continue occupying 

these buildings.

Funds in the amount of $1,225,000 were appropriated in FY 2015 to line the damaged interior 

rain leaders of the Main Treasury Building with an epoxy-based compound along with correcting 

associated water damage, and to repair and replace damaged windows, some of which are 

original to the building, to prevent water damage to other structural components. Rain leaders 

are vertical sections of cast iron pipe within the exterior walls of the Main Treasury 

Building. They are designed to carry rain water off the roof and into storm drains. The rain 

leaders in Main Treasury are estimated to be 150 years old. The cast iron composition has failed 

over time by rusting from the inside out. The deteriorated state of the rain leaders causes regular 

leaks, from water penetrating the building shell and being absorbed by the plaster walls and the 

substrate below.
