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, and the Office of Financial Innovation and Transformation. DSCIP funds have 

also been used to make repairs to the Main Treasury and Treasury Annex buildings, yielding 

significant energy and water savings, as well as improved life safety systems. The current 

DSCIP request proposes critical investments in cybersecurity and building repairs, some of 

which were originally requested but unfunded in FY 2013. Although these projects are 

considered highly important, the Department is unable to fund them without DSCIP support. 

Cybersecurity. The Department-wide cybersecurity program focuses on improving the security 

of Treasury’s classified and unclassified networks in support of the Federal Information Security 

Management Act (FISMA) security requirements, the Cyber Cross-Agency Priority Goal, and 

other Government-wide security initiatives. 

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

Annex 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. It covers five stories as well as a raised 

basement and sits on five acres of land. The Treasury Building was dedicated as a National 

Historic Landmark on October 18, 1972. The 90-year old Treasury Annex, also owned by the 

Department, is part of the Lafayette Square National Register Historic District.

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

Program Increases .................................................................................... +$2,725,000 / +0 FTE
 

Data Leakage Protection System +$1,500,000 / +0 FTE 

Funds in the amount of $1,500,000 are requested 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’s 

implementation of the Administration’s Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) directive 

(See E.O. 13556) by examining data for CUI that should not leave the 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 will be able to implement a DLP at a low cost by leveraging an 

existing IRS commercial product license, which was procured for Department-wide use and is 

already being implemented on the Trusted Internet Connections (TICs) at IRS. This investment 

will allow implementation at both non-IRS TICs and the configuration of the system to 

accommodate all other Treasury Bureaus. There are no expected out-year costs. 

Rain Leader Repair and Window Repair and Replacement +$1,225,000 / +0 FTE 

Funding is requested to line the interior rain leaders of the Main Treasury Building with a 

neoprene compound, 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. The continued water intrusion results in routine and lengthy repairs to the tenant spaces.

Lining the rain leaders with a neoprene compound will minimize existing leaks and possibly 

abate them in totality, thereby reducing maintenance problems. In addition to the rain leader 

repairs, the windows in the Main Treasury building have exceeded their life cycle. There are 

over 600 wooden frame windows in the Main Treasury building, some of which are also 

estimated to be over 150 years old. The window frames and paint are in deteriorating condition 

and are experiencing wood damage due to weather exposure. Funding is requested to address the 

cyclical painting and repair of the frames. These investments are critical for the basic 

maintenance and preservation of the historic Main Treasury Building.

Section 3 – Budget and Performance Plan 

3A – Department-wide Systems and Capital Investments Program 

($2,725,000 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. 

Treasury received $1,500,000 in FY 2014 which will be used to design, procure, and install a 

Wireless Intrusion Detection System in the Main Treasury and Treasury Annex buildings. This 

system is necessary to help Treasury protect its classified and unclassified networks and comply 

with the Administration’s Cross-Agency Priority (CAP) Goal requiring continuous monitoring. 

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. 

Treasury received $1,225,000 in FY 2014 to continue to improve the energy efficiency of the 

Main Treasury and Treasury Annex buildings. The first proposed project involves the 

replacement of deteriorating steam radiators with new fan coil units. This will allow the 

Treasury Annex to fully leverage its newly installed gas boilers and generate heat more 

efficiently. The remaining funds will be used to replace existing light fixtures with energyefficient LED fixtures in most of the Annex; to repair and renovate critical cooling and heating 

systems that are at the end of their life-cycle; and to renovate Annex space to make it more 

efficient.
