Adjustments to Request

Non-Recurring Costs

Zero-Based 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 

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.

Program Increases

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.
