Section 1 – Purpose

1A – Description of Bureau Vision and Priorities 

DSCIP funding is authorized to be used by or on behalf of Treasury Department bureaus, 

at the Secretary’s discretion, to modernize business processes and increase efficiency 

through technology investments. Continuing investments include the Annex Repair and 

Renovation (ARR), Treasury Secure Data Network (TSDN), Cyber Security, Enterprise 

Content Management (ECM), and E-Government initiatives. 

Top Priorities for FY 2009

• Annex Repair and Renovation (ARR) – The ARR project will address the 

immediate need to correct critical building and system deficiencies to ensure the 

safety and health of the occupants. 

• Treasury Secure Data Network – This initiative will provide TSDN analysts 

with data search tools, which can find information more quickly and allow for 

faster analysis. 

• Cyber Security - The Cyber Security program protects the security and integrity 

of Treasury’s classified and unclassified systems, the information they process, 

and the services they perform. 

• Enterprise Content Management – The ECM project will result in increased 

efficiencies, enhanced mission effectiveness, reduced total cost of ownership; and 

the retirement of legacy systems. 

• E-Government – E-Government initiatives drive the Treasury Department to 

identify opportunities to leverage existing systems and services in order to reduce 

costs and duplication within the Treasury Department and across government. 

The FY 2009 total budget for DSCIP is $26,975,000. 

1B – Program History and Future Outlook 

The Treasury Department utilized DSCIP funding to establish a disaster recovery site for 

Departmental Offices (DO) activities which support the policy and administration 

oversight for the Department. DO has established e-mail capabilities as well as access to 

user data files at the disaster site and some critical applications have also been 

established. Current capabilities include the ability to copy files from the production site 

at Main Treasury several times daily to ensure that critical files are available in the event 

of an emergency. This site now has the capability to bring Treasury systems back online 

within a couple days in the event of a disaster. Since some aspects of this system are 

entering into operations and maintenance (O&M) mode, the Treasury Department is 

requesting funding under the DO Salaries & Expenses account to provide for O&M as 

DSCIP - 1 
well as to support developmental activities which will enable Treasury systems to come 

back online within hours instead of days. 

The Treasury Department has designated DSCIP funding to stabilize and modernize the 

infrastructure of TSDN. The improvement project for TSDN will replace 500 

workstations with new workstations running supported Microsoft operating systems and 

related office software. In addition, the cable plant is being replaced by a Protected 

Distribution System that meets new security requirements. Servers will be replaced with 

new servers running Microsoft Windows Server 2003. Additionally, all communication 

switches will be replaced. The system, which is currently experiencing significant 

performance problems, will be upgraded to support at least 800 users. 

The Department of the Treasury has a three-phased approach to planning, development, 

and deployment of the ECM solution sets across the Department. This type of strategy 

recognizes and avoids the one-size fits all approach. The Department’s strategy to 

incrementally implement the ECM solution sets using a “Lines of Business” approach 

with a mission emphasis will result in increased efficiencies, enhanced mission 

effectiveness, reduced total cost of ownership, and the orderly retirement of legacy 

systems. 

DSCIP’s major challenge is transitioning initiatives from the developmental stage to 

operations. DSCIP will look to identify redundant systems as the Department retires outdated systems and migrates to E-Government approved systems. DSCIP will ensure 

contracted activities stay within established Earned Value Management (EVM) standards 

and schedules.

The DO disaster recovery site was established in 2002 at another government site in West 

Virginia. The servers, workstations and network devices were procured and installed as 

part of the SEAT management contract. Thus, the systems are paid for over a three or

four year period and refreshed at the end of the cycle. The equipment costs, labor costs 

along with the costs for the leased telecommunications lines are fixed, ongoing and are 

required to be paid every year. 

Program Increases .......................................................................+$26,975,000 / +0 FTE 

Annex Repair and Renovation +$11,518,000 / +0 FTE 

The purpose of the Annex Repair and Renovation (ARR) project is to support Treasury's

strategic goal of creating the conditions that enable program goals to be accomplished. 

The Treasury Annex is considered an American treasure, constructed in 1918 and 1919, 

and is part of the Lafayette Square National Register Historic District. The current status 

of upkeep and maintenance for the building is based on code compliance, failure of 

DSCIP - 3 
equipment, and/or minimal routine maintenance. The overall program need is to repair 

the mechanical, electrical, plumbing and life safety systems to provide a safe, 

comfortable and efficient facility to house Department of the Treasury personnel and 

programs. 

The FY 2009 proposed funding will enable Treasury to address the immediate need to

correct critical building and system deficiencies to ensure the safety and health of the 

occupants. Substantial corrective measures are necessary to address the advance state of 

erosion of building elements and replacement of infrastructure that is at the end of its life 

cycle. In preparation for this effort, the General Services Administration (GSA) will 

assist the Treasury Department in conducting an overall assessment of the Annex’s 

condition during the second quarter of FY 2008. 

FY 2009 ARR priorities include: 

• Correcting failing systems, such as the HVAC and plumbing systems; 

• Correcting structural elements, such as the ground level ventilation system; 

• Correcting advanced state of erosion of building elements; and 

• Introducing more energy efficient systems. 

Cyber Security +$3,000,000 / +0 FTE 

The Cyber Security program performs a critical function in protecting the security and 

integrity of classified and unclassified Treasury systems, the information they process, 

and the vital services they perform. This funding is mission critical to support the efforts 

of the Department-wide cyber security program, which provides a comprehensive 

security policy and compliance framework to ensure the implementation and 

effectiveness of information security controls over cyber assets Department-wide. In 

doing so, the central program works with and supports the system-specific security 

activities of Treasury bureaus and their program officials responsible for individual 

systems. Furthermore, funding provides continuity of support for security policy, 

oversight, and compliance activities, principally including: 1) operation of the 

Department-wide cyber security program for unclassified systems, to include the 

functioning of the Treasury Computer Security Incident Response Center (TCSIRC); 2) 

leading the Department-wide cyber security program for national security systems; and 3) 

complying with the requirements of the Federal Information Security Management Act 

(FISMA). This support is mission-critical to securing classified and sensitive information 

technology at the Treasury Department and to address weaknesses identified by the 

Inspectors General in our overall program.

DSCIP - 4 
Electronic Government +$2,057,000 / +0 FTE 

The President's Management Agenda (PMA) and E-Government initiatives drive the

Treasury Department to identify opportunities to leverage existing systems and services 

in order to reduce costs and duplication within the Department and across government. 

The Treasury Department provides program management oversight and coordination for 

each of the initiatives assuring compliance by all bureaus. E-Government enables the 

Treasury Department to continue to meet the implementation milestones in the OMB 

approved E-Government Implementation Plan, positively impacting the Treasury 

Department's ability to implement best practices and leverage government-wide 

technologies. The Treasury Department’s active involvement in the Budget Formulation 

and Execution Line of Business – managed by the Department of Education – provides 

cross-agency interoperable, flexible, and cost effective solutions linking formulation and 

execution of the federal budget. The Treasury Department supports several other EGovernment initiatives, which are discussed in the E-Government chapter of this 

Congressional Justification. 

Enterprise Content Management +$6,000,000 / +0 FTE 

The requested funding will enable the Department of the Treasury to continue with the 

phased implementation of an ECM solution in FY 2009. The Treasury Department 

processes a massive volume of data (e.g., documents, records, and case files) and much 

of this information is subject to statutory/regulatory handling and storage requirements. 

The Department of the Treasury currently has an array of disparate and incompatible 

systems used for information tracking, management, retention and storage. The Treasury 

Department is unable to quickly and, with a high level of certainty, retrieve information 

from across all bureaus and organizations related to a specific subject matter without a 

considerable amount of staff hours dedicated to coordinating and verifying that the 

correct information is going forward and that only those with the need to know have 

access to this information. The Treasury Department concluded that there is an urgent

need for an ECM system to minimize duplication of effort and infrastructure investments, 

to address workflow, document and case management, and reporting challenges. The 

enterprise-wide approach, under the oversight of the Treasury Department's Chief 

Information Officer, will ensure that all Department-wide ECM efforts map to consistent 

standards, are aligned with related government-wide initiatives, such as the Case 

Management Line of Business, and leverage commonalities in requirements among 

Treasury Department components, thereby achieving economies of scale and efficiencies 

in information sharing. 

Treasury Secure Data Network +$4,400,000 / +0 FTE 

The TSDN was established in 2000 to serve as a secure network for the Office of 

International Affairs and the bureaus. The applicability of TSDN expanded with the 

creation of the Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence (TFI). This initiative will 

provide TSDN analysts with data searching tools to mine information more quickly and 

allow for more immediate trend analysis and review. These trends are currently difficult 

DSCIP - 5 
and time consuming to follow due to the lack of an automated storage and retrieval 

system and are now done manually using paper copies of files. The initiative will also 

provide funds to begin the establishment of a disaster recovery capability for the TSDN 

system, which is extremely vulnerable now due to the lack of said disaster recovery 

capability. With the establishment of TFI in FY 2004, the Treasury Department’s 

requirement for a secure and classified network has increased considerably, as TFI has a 

role in coordinating responses from Treasury Department offices such as Office of 

Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), and 

Office of Intelligence and Analysis (OIA), which all make major contributions to 

Treasury Department’s support of the IC and the national and international finance and 

banking communities.

Department-Wide Systems and Capital Investments Program

Annex Repair and Renovation - The FY 2009 proposed funding for the Annex Repair 

and Renovation (ARR) project will enable Treasury to address the immediate need to 

correct critical building and system deficiencies to ensure the safety and health of the 

occupants. Substantial corrective measures are necessary to address the advance state of 

erosion of building elements and replacement of infrastructure that is at the end of its life 

DSCIP - 9 
cycle. FY 2009 ARR priorities include correcting failing systems, such as the HVAC and 

plumbing systems; correcting structural elements, such as the ground level ventilation 

system; correcting the advanced state of erosion of building elements; and introducing 

more energy efficient systems. A comprehensive project plan will be developed that will 

address issues of cost, schedule, and performance. A project manager will be appointed 

who will provide senior management with in-process reviews for the express purpose of

monitoring milestones and deliverables while ensuring that costs and schedules are met.

Treasury Secure Data Network – Funding for the continued improvement of the Treasury 

Secure Data Network (TSDN) operating system and hardware components will assure 

continued functionality throughout FY 2009. As a consequence, the Treasury 

Department will continue to have reliable access to the SIPRNET and the Department of 

Defense classified communications network, which will ensure ongoing communications 

with officials in law enforcement as well as the Departments of Defense and State. These 

activities will help ensure that the department is able to assist in reducing the threat posed 

by terrorism and associated activities to interdict terrorism, the proliferation of weapons 

of mass destruction (WMD), and narcotics trafficking. 

Cyber Security – Cyber Security funds will be used to ensure that all Treasury 

Department’s Critical Infrastructure / Key Resources (CI/KR) are identified and, 

furthermore, to protect these systems against possible terrorist attack by ensuring that 

strong security requirements are established and monitored. This program will provide 

greater protection against network intrusions, which can result in significant disruptions 

and delays in its business activities. Funding in this area will also support reviews of 

selected bureau security programs, and will support the Treasury Department in 

improving its overall compliance with FISMA. This funding will also support enhanced 

protection of the Department’s classified systems, thus directly support the goal of better 

protecting the national security, by reducing the risk to those systems. 

Enterprise Content Management – Funding for the Enterprise Content Management 

(ECM) program will be used to continue implementation of an enterprise-wide ECM 

project for the Department of the Treasury. The ECM project will address the critical and 

urgent business needs of the Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) and the Financial 

Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), both of which are struggling under an 

increasingly burdensome paper-based system of operations. This approach to ECM will 

minimize duplication of effort and infrastructure investments by capitalizing on 

Department and government-wide efforts. By the end of FY 2009, the Treasury 

Department will have significantly improved the workflow processes for both OFAC and 

FinCEN, as well as positioned the Department for a full transition to a Department-wide 

ECM solution. The Treasury’s ECM program will directly support the department’s goal 

to reduce the threat to national security from terrorist related financial activities by 

enhancing and developing the ability of related offices to quickly access and assess 

department-wide records and files in a centralized manner. 

E-Government Initiatives – The Treasury Department funds 14 of the 27 E-Government

initiatives and six of the nine E-Government Lines of Business, which includes funding 

DSCIP - 10 
from the DSCIP account. More information on the benefits of each E-Government 

initiative can be found in the E-Government chapter of this budget request. Overall, 

funding for the E-Government initiative will allow the Treasury Department to execute 

all required memoranda of understanding with Presidential E-Government Managing 

Partners. E-Government activities enable a more citizen-centered, results-oriented 

environment across government.

Section 4 – Supporting Materials 

4B – Information Technology Strategy 

DSCIP supports a broad range of IT programs and initiatives which are critical to 

improving Treasury’s IT security capabilities, protecting its critical infrastructure and 

achieving enterprise-wide benefits through E-Government, ECM, and other Departmentwide initiatives. These program areas are aligned with and support OCIO and 

Departmental IT strategic goals and objectives. 

Treasury’s work to improve its E-Government PMA status continues to be a top priority. 

Improving Treasury’s PMA performance requires a concerted effort across the 

Department to strengthen multiple program areas such as Cyber Security and EGovernment. These initiatives support the Department’s focus on business and technical 

modernization, strengthening its IT security posture, ensuring a resilient IT environment, 

and migrating to common solutions when appropriate. Performance and success for these 

initiatives is measured by Treasury’s E-Government PMA score from OMB, FISMA 

metrics, compliance with OMB direction and guidance regarding consolidating and 

leveraging existing capabilities and investments, and meeting project-specific cost, 

schedule, and performance goals. 

DSCIP’s telecommunications activities include enhancements to the TSDN. This 

initiative will provide TSDN analysts with data search tools to allow for more rapid and 

immediate trend analysis and review. 

DSCIP activities are developmental and designed to maximize and leverage technology 

to achieve efficiencies and improved performance. Activities associated with DSCIP 

projects are normally contracted and we rigorously apply Earned Value Management 

(EVM) techniques to the management of these contracted vehicles, ensuring that the 

services provided are within expectations for cost and schedule and other EVM 

measurements.
