The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Capital Planning Guidance changed how certain IT 

Investments are categorized. The Agency IT portfolio summary consists of Part 1: IT Investments for 

Mission Delivery; Part 2: IT investment for Administrative Services and Support Systems, and Part 3: IT 

Investments for IT infrastructure, IT Security, and IT Management (so called “standard investments”). 

The guidance no longer requires Part 3 investments to be reported as major or non-major investments. 

However, the Department of the Treasury’s Capital Investment Plan will continue to report these 

investments. 

Consistent with the corresponding Summary of Capital Investments table, the columns included in the 

investment tables below are defined as:

• FY 2018: Actual obligations of budgetary resources including annual funding, prior year 

balances, user fees, and other sources;

• FY 2019: Estimated obligations based on the Annualized Continuing Resolution funding level 

assumed for the FY 2020 President’s Budget. Figures include annual funding, prior year 

balances, user fees, and other sources; and

• FY 2020: Estimated obligations based on the funding requested in the FY 2020 President’s 

Budget. Figures include annual funding, prior year balances, user fees, and other sources. The 

amount of new budget authority requested for a given investment can be found in the Summary of 

Capital Investments table (see “FY 2020 Budget Authority Request” column). 

Treasury is committed to working with partners to further improve capital investment reporting and 

performance management. As a result, plan formatting may continue to evolve. Additional information 

about Treasury’s capital investments is available at the link below.

management practices and controls. ASAP's primary function is to make payments electronically via 

Automated Clearing House (ACH) and Fedwire. Its real-time interface with these systems provides 

next-day and same-day payments to recipients as well as provides immediate financial information to 

recipients, FPAs and Treasury, to enable informed decision making. ASAP supports grant payment 

needs of FPAs through account management features that address federal cash management regulations 

such as the Cash Management Improvement Act of 1990, Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996, 

and Public Law 106-107 (Federal Financial Assistance Management Improvement Act of 1999). FPAs 

streamline the administration of grant payment processing by using ASAP’s business processes and 

cash management functions. ASAP was selected by the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Council as one 

of two approved grant payment systems. Design efficiencies and robust functionality eliminates the 

need for redundant payment systems. ASAP management is dedicated to CPIC best practices, ensuring 

effective use of taxpayer dollars. An earned value management system is used to measure the project

Total Obligations 22.25 24.25 24.97 0.73 2.99%

Purpose, Accomplishments, Future Objectives:

The Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 (FFATA) was signed into law on 

September 26, 2006. The legislation required that federal contract, grant, loan, and other financial 

assistance awards be displayed on a publicly accessible and searchable website to give the American 

public access to information on how their tax dollars are being spent. Through the USAspending 

website and supporting services, the Bureau of the Fiscal Service delivers on Treasury’s strategic goal 

to increase access to and use of federal financial data in order to strengthen government-wide decisionmaking and accountability through data transparency. This work seeks to provide the public and 

federal agencies with access to a greater range of financial data. The implementation of the DATA Act 

requirements is nearly completed, but the work of federal spending transparency and accountability 

continues. The Office of Data Transparency at Fiscal Service continuously improves data quality and 

usability and looks for ways to draw value and insights from federal spending data. The Financial 

Information Repository (FIR) was added to the Data Services portfolio this year. To support the 

Federal Financial Management vision, the FIR provides timely, reliable, secure, and consumable data 

to authorized federal users and the public. The web-based application promotes transparency, increases 

accountability, facilitates better decision making, and improves operational efficiency. The FIR 
9

provides a single touch-point to centrally manage, analyze, and report on the financial data that the 

U.S. Treasury’s Bureau of the Fiscal Service (Fiscal Service) collects/receives. The FIR provides 

integrated financial management information across all Fiscal Service services and a robust Business 

Intelligence website that allows authorized users to analyze financial data trends, patterns, and other 

Business Intelligence concepts for improved decision making. The centralized data is made available to 

Federal Program Agencies, OMB, Congress and public citizens. FIR employs financial management 

data standards to improve accessibility of financial management data for decision making and 

transparency reporting.

Total Obligations 9.64 10.36 10.67 0.31 2.97%

Purpose, Accomplishments, Future Objectives:

The Debit Gateway is an application that processes electronic check and Automated Clearing House 

(ACH) debit transactions received from Fiscal Service collection channels and a handful of federal 

agencies, which result in the depositing of funds into the Treasury. It includes the ability to "decision" 

electronic check transactions whereby checks are converted to ACH debits or truncated and presented 

as image cash letters to optimize collectability and reduce unit clearing costs. It is built as a reusable 

service that can be utilized by other applications, so that these applications no longer need to present 

these transactions for settlement on their own. The Debit Gateway is designed to implement an 

enterprise architecture goal of having one (and only one) system per Fiscal Service business line. In 

this case, the business line is the settlement of electronic check and ACH debit transactions received 

via the collection channels on behalf of federal agencies, as opposed to each channel needing to 

provide settlement individually. The Debit Gateway benefits the Fiscal Service's mission of providing 

financial services, because a large portion of the government's revenue is received through this 

application. In addition, the Debit Gateway replaced a number of unnecessarily duplicative solutions in 

favor of a single, dedicated application for this business line. Also, the Debit Gateway benefits the 

Fiscal Service's mission of providing financial services to a large number of government agencies in an 

efficient and cost effective manner thus eliminating the need for redundant check/ACH clearing 

services offered by Financial Agents. Currently, the Debit Gateway processes transactions on behalf of 

multiple Fiscal Service collection channel applications: Pay.gov, OTCnet, Electronic Check Processing 

(ECP), and Agency Direct.

FY 2018 accomplishments included: • The implementation of Release 2.2 UI Upgrade, Application 

Column level Encryption Phase I, Correct various backlogged defects • Released 2.3 DG UI Upgrade, 

ACR Aggregation Enhancement, Application Encryption (Column-Level) – Phase II, Recompile DG 

with Java 8, Informatica Upgrade to 10.2 • Release 2.4 UI Upgrade, Schedule Purge from History to 

run monthly, Add Comments to ACR file for PAID Cases, Add Updated MICR to ACR file for ACR 

RRTs, Ensure the Debit Gateway keystore is not overwritten by the deployment process FY 2019 and 

beyond objectives include: • Debit Gateway will have three releases per year to enhance the system and 

ensure all required processing changes from Check 21 and ACH are incorporated into the Debit 

Gateway. • Debit Gateway will enhance Incident Response and address any resiliency gaps. • Work 

with Fiscal Service to assess and implement cyber security measures which includes encrypting 

account numbers in the database and purge transaction data history after 7 years. • Roll out phased 

User Interface (UI) upgrades.

Total Obligations 19.44 18.37 10.43 - 7.94 - 43.22%

Purpose, Accomplishments, Future Objectives:

The Cross-Servicing (CSNG) program uses demand letters, Private Collection Agencies (PCAs), 

administrative wage garnishment, repayment agreements, and other collection tools to collect non-tax 

delinquent debt owed to the federal government. In addition to debt collection, the systems within the 

DCS portfolio allows Federal Government users to access data, view reports and provide requested 

information to debtors. The Integrated Document Management System (IDMS) is also being reported 

under the DCS investment. IDMS provides customers Digital Document Storage and Retrieval, Digital 

Business Processes, and Records Management Solutions for the Fiscal Service internal customers. The 

Debt Information Repository (DIR) is a critical component of the Fiscal Service’s efforts to increase 

the collection of delinquent debt owed to the federal government. The DIR standardizes data from 

operational data systems and other sources in a secure environment. It allows authorized users to 

access summary and transaction level data on government-wide receivables, delinquent debt and debt 

collection, as well as operational performance. DIR utilizes an architecture optimized to support 

sophisticated data analysis, reporting and enhanced operational processing efficiency. The Debt 

Program Accounting System (DPAS) project is a holistic redesign of DMS’s approach to accounting 

for delinquent debt collection. DMS Accounting is modernizing systems, processes and practices to 

improve traceability and auditability of debts collected. It establishes the new Debt Information 

Repository Accounting Database (DIR-AD) as the hub of the architecture, summarizing financial 

information from the program systems and passing the summarized data to the accounting system. The 

accounting system will be Oracle Federal Financials on the Administrative Resource Center (ARC) 

cloud-based platform in the Bureau of the Fiscal Service. The DMS Universal Data Ecosystem 

(DUDE) is cloud based modern BI, Reporting, and Advanced Analytics platform on the AWS 

GovCloud commercial cloud. This modern, industry standard, data management platform will digitally 

transform the legacy Information Repository data warehouse. DUDE enhanced the ability of data 

analysts to leverage both relational and unstructured data to achieve greater insights to support data 

driven making to project, predict, and achieve delinquent debt collection targets.

Purpose, Accomplishments, Future Objectives:

The Do Not Pay Portal is used by agencies to verify information about potential recipients of federal 

payments or benefits. To the extent permitted by law, the Data Analytics Center employs data analytics 

to help federal and state users reduce the amount of improper payments made in federally-funded 

programs. The DNPBC (Do Not Pay Business Center) allows agencies administering federal programs 

to better utilize technology to access eligibility information through a single portal in a timely, more 

cost effective manner. The initial implementation allowed online interaction by program offices and 

contracting officers through a user interface to improve program decision-making. Since its initial 

launch, the investment added the capability to submit files for batch processing or to be continuously 

monitored in the Portal. The long-term strategic direction is to assist agencies in using database checks 

and analytics to identify improper payments through seamless integration into the Treasury payment 

stream. The DNPBC supports Fiscal Service's mission of promoting the financial integrity and 

operational efficiency of the U.S. government.

EFTPS enables both business and individual taxpayers to pay federal taxes electronically via phone, 

internet (www.eftps.gov, IRS Direct Pay), Fedwire, ACH credit, credit cards, or via a third party. 

EFTPS is managed by a designated Treasury Financial Agent (TFA), pursuant to the authority 

delegated to the Fiscal Service by the Secretary of the Treasury to designate Financial Institutions to 

provide banking services to the federal government (12 U.S.C. 90 and 265). This multi-function 

investment directly supports the government-wide financial management mission of the Fiscal Service, 

and is a partnership program with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The primary justifications for 

investing in EFTPS are the following: • Maximize the percentage of tax collections received

electronically by the federal government • Minimize the amount of time for taxpayers to complete a tax 

payment using electronic payments • Reduce the government cost to process a federal tax • provide a 

24 x 7 x 365 mechanism to collect federal tax revenue The Fiscal Service has been given authority for 

a Permanent and Indefinite appropriation from Congress as part of the Consolidated Appropriations 

Act, 2004 (Pub. L 108-199) to perform critical banking services on behalf of the federal government, 

including for the purposes of tax collection for FY 2004 and beyond. Funds for this investment are 

allocated from this authority and are submitted to OMB on an annual basis as part of the congressional 

justification for the President's Budget. EFTPS has been in existence since the FY 1996 appropriations 

to cover the operations and maintenance of the following critical functions: New taxpayer enrollment; 

Tax payment processing; Fulfillment/mail services; Customer service; and General operations. Less 

than 10 percent of each FY funding is allocated to minor software enhancements to accommodate 

changes to the tax code.

Purpose, Accomplishments, Future Objectives:

Pay.gov Services (Pay.gov) provides a government-wide Internet collection channel for Federal 

Program Agencies (FPAs) to collect non-tax revenue. It provides a suite of electronic financial services 

and interfaces to enable federal agencies to make financial collections electronically, specifically over 

the Internet. By providing the Internet collection channel, Pay.gov helps promote the all-electronic 

Treasury vision. Pay.gov Services directly support the collection and deposit of funds into the Treasury 

on behalf of federal agencies. This is a key component of the multi-faceted government-wide financial 

management mission of the Fiscal Service. One of the critical goals of the Fiscal Service is to convert 

paper-based transactions to electronic methods; Pay.gov is the primary program supporting this goal. 

Fiscal Service also had the goal of providing citizens with convenient and secure payment options, 

Pay.gov delivers this medium. Previous strategic goals that Pay.gov has helped the Fiscal Service meet 

include: 1) Providing timely collection of federal government receipts, at the lowest cost, through an 

all-electronic Treasury; and 2) Establishing policies and processes to facilitate the integration of ecommerce technologies into the payments and collections infrastructure. Pay.gov services support the 

Fiscal Service's mission by providing a secure, efficient, and user-friendly collection channel for 

citizens and businesses to use when paying an agency. This service promotes operational efficiency 

and financial integrity. The key beneficiaries of Pay.gov are the FPAs and citizens. By collecting funds 

over the Internet, Treasury and FPAs receive the funds faster, more securely and more accurately than 

mailed or in person transactions. Citizens benefit from Pay.gov by being able to make payments from 

any Internet-capable device. In addition, the cost per payment through Pay.gov is less than the cost per 

paper payment. As a service, FPAs are both the primary customers and stakeholders of Pay.gov.

As of July, FY 2018 accomplishments included collecting $166 billion and 200 million transactions 

(Oct 2017 – July 2018). -Invested in a comprehensive fraud prevention solution for Pay.gov (HPO #6)

queuing, and rejection of ACH and card transactions, detecting fraudulent email addresses during 

registration, and identifying fraudulent use of devices through device fingerprinting. -Integrated with 

an online analytics solution to provide valuable insight into customer usage of the Pay.gov public 

website (HPO #7). -Adopted US Web Design Standards for the Pay.gov public website (HPO #7) 

which has increased the usability and accessibility of the public website, decrease friction, and boost 

consumer confidence. -Partnered with high-profile agencies, including the White House Military 

Office (WHMO), to enhance the billing services (HPO #5) to allow a customer to pay their bill

Purpose, Accomplishments, Future Objectives:

Payment Services (PS) is the only resource for Federal Program Agencies (FPAs) to certify ACH, 

Check, wire transfers, IAT, CTX, ASAP, and ITS.gov payments. PS reduces costs for the federal 

government by eliminating redundant certification tools, overhead, and unique applications for over 

200 agencies (such as Social Security Administration (SSA), Office of Personnel Management (OPM), 

and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)). PS provides a security assurance level 4 system for payment 

certification and maintains the only resources for processing, settlement, and distribution payments. In 

addition, PS is the conduit for all eligible payments to be screened thru DNP and TOP for possible 

elimination of improper payments, and payment offsets when debts are owed, therefore saving the 

government dollars. This investment also includes the system of record for all payment voucher data 

eliminating the need for agencies to have their own infrastructure for maintaining this information. It 

also includes Certifying Officer Training, which is provided to FPA users to improve the accuracy and 

data quality with the payment initiation process.

Retail Securities Services (RSS)

Description:

RSS is a consolidated investment containing multiple systems and applications to support the two 

primary missions of the Retail program. First, to sell and service U.S. Treasury securities held directly 

by private individuals and organizations. Second, to manage the disbursement of payments to 

Judgement Fund claimants, and maintain the audit trail to document these transactions.

Purpose, Accomplishments, Future Objectives:

The mission of the Retail program is to offer Americans simple and accessible Treasury securities to 

build savings and help enable financial confidence. The program’s mission crosswalks to the Fiscal 

Service goal to “deliver innovative financial management solutions that provide a modern, seamless 

customer experience,” which in turn crosswalks to the Department’s goals of Transforming 

Government-Wide Financial Stewardship and Achieve Operational Excellence. To achieve our 

mission, Retail maintains public-facing applications to sell and service U.S. Treasury Securities 

directly to U.S. citizens to promote savings. In FY18, Retail sold almost $63.5 billion worth of 

securities, and in FY19 we are on track to sell over $70 billion. The Retail program is also responsible 

for servicing older Treasury debt instruments that matured, but remain unredeemed. This legacy debt 

dates back to the founding of our federal republic in 1789. This servicing is not provided as a courtesy, 

but directly serves a core goal of the Treasury to maintain the "full faith and credit of the U.S. Federal 

government," by honoring all debt obligations of the Federal government regardless of its age. In 

addition to servicing Treasury securities, Retail is also responsible for managing the disbursement of 

payments to Judgement Fund claimants, and maintain the audit trail to document these transactions. In 

order to achieve its mission, the Retail program maintains multiple IT applications to sell and service 

its products. These systems are maintained under the consolidated investment portfolio known as the 

Retail Securities Servicing (RSS). These applications include relatively new internet-based systems 

and older mainframe-based systems that are hosted on various IT platforms maintained by both Fiscal 

Service and Federal Reserve personnel. For the last twenty years, the Retail program has aggressively 

pursued its goals by utilizing IT innovations; telecommunication improvements; and the internet to 

upgrade its product line, services and operations. The internet has provided us an opportunity to 

provide our customers more interactive services that empower self-servicing. These innovations and 

on-going project plans enable the Retail program to continue to remain relevant into the 21st century, 

while still being able to efficiently service legacy debt obligations.

FY18 accomplishments and FY19 goals include the following: • Retail started a project to develop a 

replacement system for a legacy mission critical payment application that is near the end of its 

supportable life. The replacement will be more technologically current and sustainable, and is expected 

to yield a $660k savings in annual O&M expenses, and Retail's FY19 Goal is to complete this project 

by the 3rd quarter of FY19. • Retail is in the process of getting approval to replace two legacy customcoded application with a single COTS products. This product will enable Retail to decommission the 

two legacy applications that cost an average of $397k per year to operate and maintain, while the 

COTS solution is expected to cost $5k per year to operate and maintain. Retail's FY19 goal is to 

acquire and install the COTS product by the 2nd quarter of FY19, and complete decommissioning of 

the legacy applications by FY20. • Retail initiated a detailed re-evaluation of its ongoing project to 

build a replacement for its current public-facing application, TreasuryDirect. Alternative development 

and hosting solutions are being considered that will yield a more cost effective and efficient solution 

that can be implemented in less time. Retail's FY19 goal is to complete this re-evaluation, re-establish 

the project's baseline schedule and costs, and then resume work on the project in FY19. For future

objectives, the RSS investment consists of multiple custom-coded applications of an older vintage. 

Retail is consequently partnering with its IT service provider to identify viable alternatives. The goal is 

to mutually develop a modernization strategy that will replace these older systems with more 

technologically current applications that will increasingly leverage more cost effective enterprise-wide 

solutions. These options include cloud computing. Our IT service provider has contracted with a 

consultant to evaluate options. This evaluation is not expected to be completed until the end of FY19. 

So, implementation of this objective will be long-term, and not expected until after FY20/21.

initiative, Download Report enhancements, and supported NavyCash with their transition from JP 

Morgan Chase to the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston (FRBB). CIR Release 5.0 included changes in 

support of the Data Movement Strategy, moving to the Fiscal Service LDAP, enhanced reporting, data 

quality and governance, and technical debt, and Informatica being available in production. CMIAS 

began rolling out Adobe Sign to electronically route and sign all Treasury-State Agreements (TSAs), 

thereby eliminating the manual paper-intensive signature process for the TSAs by both State 

governments and the Bureau of Fiscal Service. CMIAS added enhanced reporting capability. The 

CMIAS Program Office completed a partial Business Process Management (BPM) review of how 

CMIA is currently being executed. This BPM exercise will eventually feed into requirements for 

CMIAS’ first major upgrade planned for 2021. TCMM deployed TCMM 1.10 in April 2018 which 

addressed reports, user guide changes and SA&A findings. Additionally, the development of TCMM 

2.0 is underway and it will be released in production during Q3 2019. Business operations were 

sustained as staff continued to help customers with questions via phone and email. Prepared support for 

individual sureties pledging assets to secure government contracts. TCMS achieved operational 

excellence in processing vouchers to meet NSS, CIR and PIR deadlines. Implemented DVS

replacement for CIR manual voucher entry, including commercial vouchers. Future objectives include: 

BMS releases into production that will address security requirements, infrastructure changes, and 

minor enhancements; CIR release 5.2 which will include changes in support of the Data Movement 

Strategy (Phase 3), re-write of the User Interface, and enhanced reporting; CMIAS rewrite “as-is” on a 

newer cloud infrastructure which will help correct ongoing database issues and improve system 

response time; TCMM release 2.0 which will address the system’s technical debt and present a new 

user interface; and TCMS will separate infrastructure of the TCMS and DVS applications.

Purpose, Accomplishments, Future Objectives:

SVC reduces the more than $2 Billion in coins, currency, and checks in circulation at military bases 

across the world with electronic currency, thus reducing the high costs associated with security, 

transporting, and accounting for cash. Since inception, over 63.5 Million electronic Funds Transfer 

(EFT) transactions in excess of $8.9 Billion have been processed through the SVC e-commerce 

program. SVC helps Fiscal Service reach the President's mandate to complete government-wide 

implementation of shared electronic commerce solutions. SVC has effectively replaced or reduced cash 

at over 80 military bases and installations in 19 countries (including the U.S.) and on over 130 Navy 

ships. The primary goal of the SVC program is to provide a cost effective solution for the government 

that enables them to meet their electronic cash management needs. In this effort, SVC is consolidating 

the current three separate and distinct SVC programs (EZpay, EagleCash, and Navy Cash/Marine 

Cash) into a universal One-Card Solution to minimize duplication, avoid proprietary technologies, and 

gain more economies of scale through reuse of shared services across military services. The successful 

consolidation will result in a cost savings of over $481 million by FY 2022. SVC's key customers are 

the military starting in basic training and continuing on through the life of the military personnel while 

deployed on land as well as on ships at sea. The primary stakeholders are: The Departments of the U.S. 

Army, Air Force, Marine Corp. and Navy; Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS); Navy 

Supply System (NAVSUP); Federal Reserve Bank of Boston (FRBB); Federal Reserve Bank of 

Kansas City (FRBKC); and PNC Bank.

development areas. Every SVC component will require updating to support the new One-Card; -

Selected One-Card logo/brand, and title; -Released a major patch and minor patch for Navy Cash in 

order to address issues found after cutover and transition from JPMC to FRB Boston and PNC. -

Performed yearly Security Assessments and Authorizations (SA&A) processes. Fiscal Services 

requires that the SVC Program conduct an annual SA&A on all systems forward facing and back 

office; focusing on all changes to SVC systems and forward facing devices that have occurred since the 

last SA&A; -Completed development for PNC Bank to replace JPMC strip card Open-loop processing. 

FY19 goals/plans (high level): -Continue Phase 1, Procure, Design and Develop, of the 3-Phase EMV 

One-Card project to replace all legacy SVC programs with one Closed-loop card and one 

Open/Closed-loop card. -Begin Phase 2 which will deploy the One-Card and EMV-compliant devices 

to the bases and ships. -Continue with the FAC Transition from FRB Boston to FRB Kansas City. -
