1B – Mission Priorities and Context

The Department is currently implementing a number of key investments further outlined below. 

These programs will allow Treasury to efficiently and effectively execute its role as the steward 

of U.S. economic and financial systems, historical buildings, and as an influential participant in 

the global economy. To this end, DSCIP supports the Treasury strategic goal: “Manage the 

Government‟s Finances in a Fiscally Responsible Manner.”

To further Treasury‟s strategic goal, the Department previously utilized DSCIP to fund 

enhancements of the Treasury Secure Data Network; meet Department wireless communications 

requirements; upgrade the capabilities of the Treasury Foreign Intelligence Network and the 

infrastructure for Treasury‟s Back-up Disaster Recovery Capacity; and to develop Treasury‟s 

automated Personnel System, HR Connect. Current modernization and capital investments 

include Cyber Security, Enterprise Content Management, Financial Innovation and 

Transformation, and upgrading and repairing Treasury Buildings.

Cyber Security. The Department-wide Cyber Security program is focused on improving the 

security of Treasury‟s sensitive systems, services, and automated data. It also drives the 

Department to improve performance in meeting Government-wide security requirements and 

initiatives, addresses audit recommendations, and focuses upon and improves Department

performance in meeting the requirements of the Federal Information Security Management Act 

(FISMA) and other government-wide security initiatives such as Trusted Internet Connections, 

Continuous Monitoring, and Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC). The 

Department‟s cyber security program mitigates the risk of significant disruptions and delays in 

the Department‟s business activities and protection of citizen and business information. 

In FY 2011, Treasury‟s key accomplishment was the production of consolidated weekly cyber 

security status reports drawn from disparate sources for the 13 Bureaus for approximately 25 
DSCIP - 4

security metrics. This focused Bureau attention of new and continuing key security measures, 

including those required to be reported to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and 

Office of Management and Budget (OMB) annually. For example, the Department achieved and 

maintained encryption of over 99 percent of our 70,000+ laptops and achieved 99 percent in key 

metrics for training and certification and accreditation. Treasury also worked to thoroughly 

review and update the Department‟s inventory of critical infrastructure/key resources. Security 

resources can then be prioritized and applied to these key resources in order to prevent, deter, 

and mitigate the effects of deliberate efforts to destroy, incapacitate, or exploit them. The 

Department identified a few assets whose sensitivity had declined, thereby allowing scarce 

security resources to be re-directed to higher priority needs. The principal challenge faced by the 

Department-wide central cyber program was trying to continue to operate and maintain high 

performance on a combined FY 2011 non-salary budget (all sources) less than 50 percent of 

FY 2010. 

 

Enterprise Content Management (ECM). In FY 2010 and FY 2011, the Office of the Deputy 

Assistant Secretary for Privacy, Transparency, and Records in partnership with the Office of the 

Chief Information Officer launched an Enterprise Content Management (ECM) program which 

enhances collaboration, improves records management, accelerates responses to Freedom of 

Information Act (FOIA) requests, and promotes paper reduction efforts.

Continuing in FY 2012 through FY 2015, Treasury will use its ECM funding to complete 

development and deployment of application enhancements which include an Enterprise Project 

Management tool, expansion of the FOIA database, and build-out of the Case Management 

system. The Department envisions a flexible modular system allowing for common interfaces 

and applications. This strategy will provide the foundation for the Department to offer common 

services (i.e., Applications as a Service and Platform as a Service) to Treasury bureaus and their 

partners leveraging economies of scale in order to increase functionality while reducing cost. 

Financial Innovation and Transformation (FIT). Treasury continues to support the Office of 

Financial Innovation and Transformation‟s development of government-wide technology 

solutions, which share and expand common technologies and lower overall financial transaction 

processing costs, facilitate the resolution of audit issues, and increase transparency of financial 

information. Through the FIT program, Treasury is working to promote financial innovation and 

transformation to resolve the disparate financial methods used by government agencies by 

developing a standard electronic invoicing platform and intra-governmental transaction 

processing. 

In FY 2011, FIT focused on developing a financial management strategy, which identified 

twelve major initiatives anticipated to save the Federal government $1 - 2 billion upon full 

implementation. FIT also developed two of the identified initiatives: establishing an electronic 

invoicing portal and creating an intra-governmental clearinghouse. For each initiative, FIT 

developed a business case and high-level implementation plan. Additionally, FIT developed and 

published electronic invoicing and payment processing data standards.

Challenges associated with electronic invoicing include: the lack of a government-wide mandate 

to implement an electronic invoicing solution, dependencies on other agencies to develop 
DSCIP - 5

reliable processes and procedures so that auditors can rely on their balances for reconciliation,

and the required funding for developing interfaces between agency core financial systems and 

Treasury‟s electronic invoicing solution, the Internet Payment Platform (IPP). Despite these 

challenges, many large departments are in discussions with the operational arm of Treasury‟s 

Fiscal Service to implement IPP.

Main Treasury Building and Treasury Annex Repair and Renovation. Significant repair 

and renovation work was accomplished in FY 2011 using DSCIP funds. The building 

improvements yielded significant energy and water savings, improved life safety, and provided a 

more dependable infrastructure. The new fire alarm and mass notification system in the Annex 

Building will meet current life safety code requirements and be fully integrated with the system 

in the Main Treasury Building in order to permit coordinated response actions within both 

buildings. Similarly, the sprinkler system upgrades in the Annex Building will address life 

safety code issues and will also be monitored by the new fire alarm system.

There are two challenges associated with infrastructure projects: 1) the protection of the historic 

fabric of the building and; 2) completing the work in an occupied full service building. 

The age and care of the building‟s existing materials requires supplemental approvals and often 

times alternate methods of repairs. Additionally, occupied conditions require supplemental 

protection measures, advanced notification, extensive communication plans, and segmented 

work plans, all of which elongate the schedule.

2A – Budget Increases and Decreases Description

Program Increases ....................................................................................+$7,108,000 / +0 FTE

Cyber Security +$2,000,000 / +0 FTE 

Funds in the amount of $1,600,000 are requested for specialized technical services to implement 

a Data Leakage Protection (DLP) tool that will examine data, including e-mail being sent from 

the Department, to identify whether any sensitive data, such as Personally Identifiable 

Information (PII), is being inadvertently transmitted and can either alert users or prohibit the 

transmission. DLP will also support Treasury‟s implementation of the Administration‟s

Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) directive by allowing examination for CUI 

information that should not leave the Department or that should only be allowed to transit the 

Internet when encrypted. Treasury will be able to implement DLP at a significantly lower cost 

than would otherwise be the case by leveraging a license that has already been procured by IRS 

for Department-wide use. The specific initiative funding will provide for the specialized 

technical services needed to implement this capability at non-IRS Internet perimeter points. 

Secondly, this initiative provides for implementing Domain Name System Security Extensions 

(DNSSEC) at the Department‟s principal Domain Name Service provider. This improves 

security by allowing users of Treasury web sites and Internet services to easily identify 

fraudulent web sites masquerading as genuine Treasury sites (e.g., one that might collect PII 

from taxpayers on a false electronic filing system.) DNSSEC will help maintain the public‟s 

confidence that they are using a genuine Treasury site. Both DLP and DNSSEC will support 

enhanced protection of the Department‟s information and services and protect the Department‟s 

sensitive data and those of individuals and businesses.

Enterprise Content Management +$883,000 / +0 FTE 

Funds are requested for development and deployment of application enhancements and 

development of enhancements and functionalities to existing applications; expansion of the 

FOIA database; additional build out of a robust Case Management system to leverage across all 

bureaus to include e-discovery functionality; and additional build-out of the Records 

Management component, which will assist in Treasury‟s initiative to reduce paper-based 

processes and transactions. The ECM program makes it possible for Treasury to have a 

standardized approach to modernizing paper-based business processes.
DSCIP - 7

Office of Financial Innovation and Transformation +$3,000,000 / +0 FTE 

Funds are requested to support Treasury‟s continued development and promotion, within FIT, of 

the twelve high impact initiatives identified in the financial management strategy that are 

anticipated to collectively deliver $1-2 billion in annual savings upon full adoption by the 

Federal government. The FY 2013 focus will be launching four of the initiatives that began 

development in FY 2011, including:

 Electronic invoicing – accelerate adoption of paperless invoice processing through promotion 

of Treasury‟s Internet Payment Platform;

 Intra-governmental transaction clearinghouse – a central exchange for agencies to agree to 

trade terms and reconcile the accounts payable/accounts receivable accounting;

 Centralized Receivables Management - a shared service that manages billing and collection 

using an integrated platform

 Streamline non-Treasury disbursing offices – eliminate redundant payment operations, 

centralize processing, and improve debt recovery.

Treasury Building - Repairs and Renovations +$1,225,000 / +0 FTE 

Funding is requested to line the interior rain leaders of the Main Treasury 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 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.

Their cast iron composition over time has failed or rusted from the inside out. The deteriorated

state of rain leaders permits water to penetrate the building shell and be absorbed by the plaster 

walls and the substrate below. The continued water intrusion results in routine and lengthy 

repair to the tenant spaces. Lining the rain leaders with a neoprene compound will minimize 

existing leaks and possibly abate them in their totality.

3A – Department-wide Systems and Capital Investments Program

($7,108,000 from direct appropriations): 

The purpose of DSCIP funds is to modernize business processes and increase efficiencies 

through capital investment. All of the DSCIP efforts provide tangible benefits in their specific 

areas to produce an improved overall IT and work environment for the Department of the 

Treasury. The following section describes what the Treasury Department expects to accomplish 

with the DSCIP funding.

Cyber Security. Cyber security provides for the protection of automated information, services 

and assets at the Department in support of its key role in providing requisite economic, financial 

and fiscal information and policy recommendations to the President. Cyber security protects the 

systems used to fulfill the U.S. Government‟s obligations, including all Federal accounts 

payable, debt obligations, contractual agreements, and the systems used to collect multiple 

trillions of dollars in receipts. Protecting systems is also necessary to provide for the Department 

to establish debt programs to meet the Government‟s financial obligations and avoid, or 

minimize disruptions to financing schedules, calculate daily cash and debt position, estimate 

voluntary payments, and adjust receipts. Systems must also be secured since they support the 

production of U.S. coinage and currency and safeguard sensitive information. 

In FY 2011, Treasury tracked key security metrics, gathered relevant data from bureaus, and 

produced weekly status reports on approximately 25 security metrics. The Department has

maintained a steady state in recent years on the following longer-standing key measures, as 

reported in November 2011:

 99 percent completion of awareness training

 99 percent completion rate for specialized training

 99 percent completion for Certification and Accreditation

 99 percent of our over 70,000 laptops are encrypted

 100 percent of remote access meets OMB‟s requirements for two-factor authentication

While continued effort has helped (and must be maintained) to continue this level of 

performance for these key metrics, there are other important reported security measures where

improvement is needed. Most critical among these are the following, as reported to OMB and 

DHS in FY 2011: 

 0 percent of data leaving Treasury networks via the Internet is being monitored for data loss 

prevention

 14 percent of Treasury Internet domains are „signed‟ (23 of 169)

It is important to note that Treasury is already working on improving security in other ways as 

well. But, while the Department has had significant successes in the cyber security realm, 

enormous challenges remain. For example, the Department must maintain and enhance its

ability to identify and stop malicious code before it enters its networks – defending against very 

well-resourced and technically advanced adversaries. To help do so, the percentage of external 
DSCIP - 10

traffic that is routed through the security inspection process provided by an approved Trusted 

Internet Connection (TIC) must be increased. Accomplishing this will require a reduction in the 

number of overall Internet connections. Fortunately, these efforts will also facilitate the 

effectiveness of data leakage prevention since fewer Internet connection points will exist. 

Treasury must develop real-time continuous monitoring of all Departmental information 

technology assets and ensure that all Bureaus are frequently conducting and analyzing inventory, 

vulnerability, and security configuration scanning. Migrating away from insecure re-usable 

passwords to use of Personal Identity Verification credentials for logging onto systems is another 

key challenge. 

FY 2013 performance outcomes include: 

 Measurable number of unauthorized/unintended unencrypted e-mails stopped from leaving 

the Department with sensitive information, including Personally Identifiable Information

 Compliance with Administration‟s DNSSEC Policy

Enterprise Content Management. ECM encourages critical information sharing in support of 

the counter-terrorism, law enforcement, financial stability, and regulatory responsibilities of the 

Treasury Department. ECM will support Treasury's technology goals by reducing the cost of 

infrastructure operations and increasing bureau productivity and collaboration. The enterprisewide approach will provide the technological foundation and core capabilities to ensure all 

Treasury ECM efforts map to consistent standards, are aligned with related government-wide 

initiatives, and leverage tools, technologies, licenses, standards, processes, lessons learned, and 

commonalities in requirements among Departmental components, thereby achieving economies 

of scale and efficiencies in information sharing. 

ECM supports the Agency Priority Goal, “Increase Electronic Transactions with the Public to

Improve Service, Prevent Fraud, and Reduce Costs.” The Priority Goal will significantly reduce 

the magnitude of paper-based transactions and processes within the Department of the Treasury, 

including both internal and external (public facing) operations. The ECM initiative was a main 

contributor to the goal in FY 2011:

 Treasury moved away from paper based transactions by implementing online solutions. The 

Department launched the FOIA cloud hosted assignment and tracking solution in November 

2010. On April 30, 2011 the Department released the goFOIA Citizens‟ Web Portal and 

citizens are now able to post requests online. FOIA processing improvements include a 

reduction in turnaround time; reduction in standard deviation for processing time; and 

reduction of mean processing time. Treasury also measures the number of requests being 

submitted on-line and percentage of requests received on-line that are immediately ready to 

be processed, versus requests received via paper;

 The Department implemented Basic Content Services (BCS) including SharePoint 2010, 

Records Management, Correspondence Management, goFOIA, and Evidence Management 

for IRS Criminal Investigation Office, FAST engine searches, etc. On April 1, 2011, the 

Department launched the SharePoint 2010 platform with 46 offices currently on-board. 

Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Criminal Investigations (CI) completed a pilot of Evidence 

Management and Collaborative Services (EMACs) site for Search Warrants utilizing 

SharePoint 2010. 
DSCIP - 11

 Treasury conducted a Paper Reduction kick-off with Terrorism and Financial Intelligence‟s 

Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). OFAC updated their Enterprise Architecture plan 

to incorporate SharePoint as their ECM solution for administrative functions, document 

management, version control, business process, and workflow. 

 The ECM library digitization effort supports both electronic conversion of documents and 

provides public access to the library collection online. The Printing & Graphics digitization 

center‟s conversion of paper to e-files completed over 100 boxes from the Office of the 

General Counsel last quarter.

The ECM program is assessed on two distinct aspects of performance:

 Program performance – Provides insight into how well the program is executing against plan, 

with respect to classic program characteristics such as cost and schedule management. 

 Business results performance – Provides insight into the achievement of the tangible and 

intangible business benefits of implementing ECM. The ECM Program Management Office 

(PMO) periodically updates progress against the performance objectives throughout the life 

of the program.

The ECM PMO tracks performance outcome information at the project level. This includes 

productivity, efficiency, response time, data storage, and timeliness. A few examples of 

performance outcomes for FY 2011:

 Developed/deployed five applications on the ECM platform 

 Established 56 site collections 

 Reduced FOIA cycle/processing time to an average of 119 days for FY 2011 compared to 

167 for FY 2010.

 Reduced time by 30 to 90 minutes per Executive Correspondence memo or letter depending 

on the length of the document and the number of individuals reviewing the document within 

the Executive Secretary‟s office.

 Established “TheGreen” as Treasury online gathering place for team collaboration, one point 

access to Treasury policy, programs and services. 

Looking towards FY 2013 and beyond, performance outcomes include:

 Faster production of documents/responses to FOIA requesters 

 Achieve “green” + operational efficiency goals through paperless environment 

 Increase information sharing, utilization, and transparency with outside partners 

 Enable electronic collaboration within Treasury 

Financial Innovation and Transformation (FIT) Program. The FIT program will be a 

catalyst in the transformation of Federal financial management by identifying, testing, and 

facilitating the development and deployment of innovative, common, and cost effective solutions 

that improve data quality and create efficiencies. 
DSCIP - 12

The FIT office promotes improvement in Federal financial management by deploying common 

technology solutions, consolidating financial transactions processing to achieve economies-ofscale, and establishing standards and guidelines that enable common solutions and shared 

services across the government. The FIT office accomplished the following in FY 2011: FIT‟s 

electronic invoicing initiative was implemented in a number of agencies. Three independent 

agencies (Social Security Administration, Office of the Architect of the Capital, and the Small 

Business Administration) and four large departments (Departments of the Treasury, Interior, 

Commerce, and Agriculture) have started to implement the Internet Payment Platform (IPP), 

Treasury‟s electronic invoicing and payment processing solution. Two of the large departments 

(Treasury and DOI) have mandated IPP for their vendors and agencies. The other Treasury 

bureaus are transitioning to IPP through the Fiscal Service - Administrative Resource Center 

(ARC). Furthermore, IPP is implementing the electronic invoicing data standards that FIT 

developed and the Fiscal Service is working to develop the XML Schemas associated with the 

standards.

Also in FY 2011, the Fiscal Service began to implement FIT‟s high-level strategy for intragovernmental transactions. The Fiscal Service has developed a resolution team and is working 

on focusing audit attention on establishing authoritative sources for reconciling intragovernmental balances related to fiduciary transactions (beginning with the Department of Labor 

and then focusing on the Federal Financing Bank, and then the Office of Personnel 

Management). The Fiscal Service is using FIT‟s recommendations to manage the technological 

updates to its systems to provide more controls and transparency around buy/sell and transfer 

activity.

The FIT Office will measure performance in terms of two dimensions:

Improved Data Quality & Transparency. FIT, in partnership with Treasury‟s Fiscal Service, will 

create standard definitions for financial transactions in the Federal government. FIT will work 

closely with Federal agencies to establish these standards as part of a broader initiative to 

standardize financial terms and definitions across the Federal government. 

Cost Savings. The Federal government spends hundreds of millions of dollars annually by 

manually entering information that it could receive electronically. Further, manual processes 

erode the quality of the information and cost more because they are prone to human error. FIT is 

spearheading this program to promote automated process of receiving and processing vendor 

invoices for payment and the process of performing intra-governmental business between two 

Federal agencies. FIT is facilitating the planning, design, and implementation of a centralized 

receivable service that will automate a process that currently requires agencies to invest scarce 

resources in reconciling accounting differences that cumulatively total billions of dollars 

annually. 

Main Treasury Building and Treasury Annex Repair and Renovation. The Main Treasury 

Building and the Treasury Annex are the Departmental Offices‟ non-IT capital investments. The 

Treasury Building is the oldest departmental building in Washington and the third oldest 

federally occupied building in Washington, preceded only by the Capitol and the White House. 
DSCIP - 13

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

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

1972. 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. 

In FY 2011, four Annex projects commenced. Three of the projects focused on increasing 

energy efficiency. Those projects included the installation of new electric service, window 

replacement, and installation of gas boilers. The remaining project addressed life safety 

concerns by replacing the fire alarm system with modern devices and public address systems. 

Each of these projects is targeted for completion in FY 2012.

The expected result of the FY 2013 rain leader repair is the elimination of water intrusion and 

plaster failure in the Main Treasury Building. Measures would include reduction of customer 

complaints and reduction in maintenance cost (for associated repairs).
