PART ONE

OVERVIEW

1. Date of Submission:: 2008-02-04

2. Agency:: 009

3. Bureau:: 70

4. Name of this Capital Asset:: ACF Expanded Federal Parent Locator Service (OCSE)

5. Unique Project Identifier:: 009-70-01-04-01-1000-00

6. What kind of investment will this be in FY2009?: Mixed Life Cycle

7. What was the first budget year this investment was submitted to OMB?: FY2001 or earlier

8. Provide a brief summary and justification for this investment, including a brief description of how this closes in part or in whole an identified agency performance gap.: FPLS consists of 2 key components: National Directory of New Hires (NDNH), a database of employment data & Federal Case Registry of Child Support Orders (FCR), a database of child support cases & orders. FPLS is crucial to helping OCSE fulfill its mission in assisting States to secure the financial support upon which millions of our nation's children depend & has contributed to an increase in the overall effectiveness & performance of the child support program. NDNH data matches resulted in national child support collections of approximately $475M in FY2006. In TY2006, the Federal Offset Program of the FPLS collected $1.6B. The Passport Denial Program of the FPLS resulted in denial of about 80 passports daily & over $22M in lump sum payments in CY2006. FPLS supports & is aligned with HHS, ACF, & OCSE goals & initiatives. Without the FPLS, the program would not be able to accomplish its mission & provide its services. FPLS eliminates traditional barriers between government agencies & promotes data sharing to improve program efficiencies & customer service. State & local CSE agencies use FPLS data to locate noncustodial parents who are delinquent in child support payments & to increase collections. States rely on FPLS to facilitate standardized & centralized communication & data exchanges with employers, multistate financial institutions & other Federal agencies. FPLS data are also used to reduce erroneous payments & overall program costs in Public Assistance & Benefit Programs. FPLS actively supports the PMA by providing authorized programs a centralized source of employment & location data, as well as the One Government initiative through a strong partnership between OCSE & SSA by relying on a consolidated infrastructure, leveraging IT resources & experience, & promoting data exchange efficiencies & program integration. The SSA estimates annual savings of approximately $403M in overpayment recovery & future overpayment prevention in the Supplemental Security Income program. SSA reports that the benefit-to-cost ratio for the entire program is estimated to be 11.4:1. Based on combined data from the FCR & SSA, IRS selected & audited Earned Income Tax Credit claims filed by 269,000 taxpayers in TY2003 & froze $713M in refunds. During FY2006, the Department of Education used NDNH data to collect over $1.3B from student loan defaulters. OCSE shared a 2007 IRMCO award for its data match efforts, helping to reduce HUD's improper payments by 73% or $712M.

SUMMARY OF SPEND

1. Provide the total estimated life-cycle cost for this investment by completing the following table. All amounts represent budget authority in millions, and are rounded to three decimal places. Federal personnel costs should be included only in the row designated Government FTE Cost, and should be excluded from the amounts shown for Planning, Full Acquisition, and Operation/Maintenance. The total estimated annual cost of the investment is the sum of costs for Planning, Full Acquisition, and Operation/Maintenance. For Federal buildings and facilities, life-cycle costs should include long term energy, environmental, decommissioning, and/or restoration costs. The costs associated with the entire life-cycle of the investment should be included in this report. All amounts represent Budget Authority Note: For the cross-agency investments, this table should include all funding (both managing partner and partner agencies). Government FTE Costs should not be included as part of the TOTAL represented.

Cost Type	Py-1 & Earlier -2006	PY 2007	CY 2008	BY 2009
Planning Budgetary Resources	0.842	0.000	0.000	0.000
Acquisition Budgetary Resources	1.961	2.742	1.938	2.035
Maintenance Budgetary Resources	29.221	16.961	18.260	19.299
Government FTE Cost	4.493	4.422	4.542	2.664
# of FTEs	32	24	24	16

2. Will this project require the agency to hire additional FTE's?: no

3. If the summary of spending has changed from the FY2008 President's budget request, briefly explain those changes.: Beginning in February 2006, an Independent Baseline Validation of FPLS IT costs was conducted. The FPLS spending plan that was submitted in the FY2007 Exhibit 300 submission was reviewed by both an independent contractor to the FPLS, and by representatives from the HHS CPIC team. It was determined that many initiatives classified as DME under the previous baseline were actually program analysis projects or O&M enhancements. These initiatives have been reclassified as appropriate. In addition, the development lifecycle has been adjusted to match the scope of the current FPLS development initiative, as reflected in the approved Continuous Service Improvement (CSI) business case. Also, development and future maintenance costs related to legislative mandates have been updated to reflect initiatives that were passed as part of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005. The new FPLS baseline was approved by the HHS ITIRB in May 2006. FPLS submitted a subsequent rebaseline request in April 2007. The changes are much smaller in scale, and reflect a redistribution of funds between work packages based on decisions made upon completion of the analysis phase of the CSI initiative. Also, additional FTEs from SSA have been added to the baseline to reflect a decision to migrate additional FPLS applications to the National Computer Center. This rebaseline request was approved by HHS on July 16, 2007.

PERFORMANCE

In order to successfully address this area of the exhibit 300, performance goals must be provided for the agency and be linked to the annual performance plan. The investment must discuss the agency's mission and strategic goals, and performance measures (indicators) must be provided. These goals need to map to the gap in the agency's strategic goals and objectives this investment is designed to fill. They are the internal and external performance benefits this investment is expected to deliver to the agency (e.g., improve efficiency by 60 percent, increase citizen participation by 300 percent a year to achieve an overall citizen participation rate of 75 percent by FY 2xxx, etc.). The goals must be clearly measurable investment outcomes, and if applicable, investment outputs. They do not include the completion date of the module, milestones, or investment, or general goals, such as, significant, better, improved that do not have a quantitative measure.

Agencies must use the following table to report performance goals and measures for the major investment and use the Federal Enterprise Architecture (FEA) Performance Reference Model (PRM). Map all Measurement Indicators to the corresponding Measurement Area and Measurement Grouping identified in the PRM. There should be at least one Measurement Indicator for each of the four different Measurement Areas (for each fiscal year). The PRM is available at www.egov.gov. The table can be extended to include performance measures for years beyond FY 2009.

4. Identify the service components funded by this major IT investment (e.g., knowledge management, content management, customer relationship management, etc.). Provide this information in the format of the following table. For detailed guidance regarding components, please refer to http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/egov/. Component: Use existing SRM Components or identify as NEW. A NEW component is one not already identified as a service component in the FEA SRM. Reused Name and UPI: A reused component is one being funded by another investment, but being used by this investment. Rather than answer yes or no, identify the reused service component funded by the other investment and identify the other investment using the Unique Project Identifier (UPI) code from the OMB Ex 300 or Ex 53 submission. Internal or External Reuse?: Internal reuse is within an agency. For example, one agency within a department is reusing a service component provided by another agency within the same department. External reuse is one agency within a department reusing a service component provided by another agency in another department. A good example of this is an E-Gov initiative service being reused by multiple organizations across the federal government. Funding Percentage: Please provide the percentage of the BY requested funding amount used for each service component listed in the table. If external, provide the funding level transferred to another agency to pay for the service.

PART TWO

RISK

You should perform a risk assessment during the early planning and initial concept phase of the investment's life-cycle, develop a risk-adjusted life-cycle cost estimate and a plan to eliminate, mitigate or manage risk, and be actively managing risk throughout the investment's life-cycle.

Answer the following questions to describe how you are managing investment risks.

1. Does the investment have a Risk Management Plan?: yes

1.a. If yes, what is the date of the plan?: 2007-04-27

1.b. Has the Risk Management Plan been significantly changed since last year's submission to OMB?: no

2.b. If no, what is the strategy for managing the risks?: Not applicable.

3. Briefly describe how investment risks are reflected in the life cycle cost estimate and investment schedule:: In order to address and quantify the various risks of the alternatives under consideration, sensitivity analyses were conducted to determine the effects on total costs and benefits based on changes in individual component cost variables. The results were used to risk adjust cost and schedule estimates for the projected lifecycle of the FPLS investment under the selected alternative. These analyses were also considered when determining the final risk-adjusted return for each alternative. Cost and benefit estimates were derived using current contract prices for similar work, and current benefit statistics reported by OCSE. In addition, each alternative was measured for mission, schedule, security, risk, and enterprise compliance. Contracts are structured into modules or segments, each with unique deliverables and incentives and with progress reported using an earned value approach. Each individual project has its project plan, cost, and schedule approved by OCSE's Strategic Planning and Oversight Board. These costs and schedules are risk adjusted using the risks identified during the economic sensitivity analysis, and any new risk that may affect cost and schedule are discussed and incorporated before approval to proceed is granted. Using this approach to contracting, the Government assumes minimal risk for achievement of cost, schedule and performance goals.

COST & SCHEDULE

1. Does the earned value management system meet the criteria in ANSI/EIA Standard 748?: yes

2. Is the CV% or SV% greater than ± 10%?: no

3. Has the investment re-baselined during the past fiscal year?: no
