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

Building and the Freedman’s Bank Building (formerly the Treasury Annex building). The current 

DSCIP request proposes funding for Digital Accountability and Transparency Act (DATA Act)

requirements and the renovation of Treasury buildings.

2A – Budget Increases and Decreases Description

Non-Recurring Costs ................................................................................-$5,000,000 / +0 FTE

Zero-Base Budget -$5,000,000 / +0 FTE

In the FY 2016 Consolidated Appropriations Act, $650,000 was provided for South Plaza 

Restoration of the Main Treasury Building. Also, $4,350,000 was provided to support missioncritical Treasury functions by investing in computing resources and security infrastructure. 

Investments are geared to meet the demand from multiple entities for the architecture needed to 

support big data. 

Program Increases ...................................................................................+$5,000,000 / +0 FTE

Digital Accountability and Transparency Act +$3,000,000 / +0 FTE 

This investment will support Department and bureau specific development, modification, and 

integration of attributes to address gaps at the transaction level for interfaces and help to ensure 

that the Department and all bureaus have resources to meet the minimum requirements for the 

DATA Act. While, the Department expects bureaus to undertake data validation, data 

stewardship, and data maintenance activities, this funding will be used to establish a data 

repository at the Department level. More specifically, the investment will support the expansion

of the Enterprise Data Management infrastructure to ensure that bureaus can leverage the 

repository for their own data analytics and uses.

Renovation of Treasury Buildings +$2,000,000 / +0 FTE 

Treasury requests $2,000,000 to stabilize the bridge that connects the motor pool entrance to the 

Main Treasury Building. Employees and contractors use the driveway under the bridge to access 

vehicle and bicycle parking, deliver equipment and mail, and for trash removal. The bridge poses

a safety risk in its current condition.

Section 3 – Budget and Performance Plan 

3A – Department-wide Systems and Capital Investments Program

($5,000,000 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.

Department-wide Information Technology Systems. The FY 2016 Consolidated Appropriations 

Act provided $4,350,000 to support mission-critical Treasury functions by investing in computing 

resources and security infrastructure. Investments are geared to meet the demand from multiple 

entities for the architecture needed to support big data. This environment will: 

• Enable secure access to a platform with the highest security threshold of the Federal 

Information Security Management Act of 2002 (FISMA) framework, containing Federal 

information and services anywhere, anytime.

• Create a secure gateway so that Treasury users can transverse across various internal and 

external networks to do their work.

• Unlock the power of data through enhanced analytic capabilities to ensure the availability of 

secure services. 

As a result, Treasury will provide secure shared services access to FISMA High enclaves while 

maintaining a rigorous security posture to solutions and services required for Treasury users to 

achieve Treasury’s mission.

Description of Performance:

Treasury has begun two internal studies to determine best strategies for full implementation of the 

Data Leakage Protection System (DLPS). It is expected that the $1.5 million, enacted in FY 2015 

for DLPS, will be fully obligated in FY 2016.

Treasury Building - Repairs and Renovations. The Main Treasury Building and the Freedman’s 

Bank Building (formerly 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 Freedman’s Bank 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 $650,000 were

provided for in the FY 2016 Consolidated Appropriations Act to complete repairs to the South 

Plaza to correct deterioration to the paver stones and underlying setting bed that were causing an 

unstable walking surface and a hazard to employees that could have caused serious injury.

Description of Performance:

Window Repair and Replacement: To date, the bulk of the effort has been dedicated to preparing a 

scope of work for the Main Treasury window repair and replacement effort. Extensive surveys have 

been conducted to determine the range of damage and deterioration at each window location. 

Repair and replacement options have been explored to determine what approach best meets the 

needs of both keeping the building in a fully operational status and meeting the unique guidelines 

associated with this national historic landmark. With this criterion, the effort has also focused on 

improved energy efficiency and life-cycle cost considerations. The contract is expected to be 

awarded and work to begin by late spring 2016.

Rain Leader Repair: Contracts are in place for select rain leader repairs and the restoration of areas 

that have undergone water damage. Work began in early FY 2016.
