Exhibit 300 (BY2009) - Health Impact Planning (HI.Net/IRIS), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

PART ONE

OVERVIEW

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

2. Agency:: 009

3. Bureau:: 20

4. Name of this Capital Asset:: CDC Health Impact Planning (HI.Net/IRIS)

5. Unique Project Identifier:: 009-20-01-01-01-0177-00

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?: FY2006

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.: CDC's current planning, management, and reporting processes that address agency strategic alignment, goal achievement, investment management, and budget and performance integration can be characterized as cumbersome. The current process requires compilation of data from several disparate, unsynchronized tools, involves redundant processes, and does not provide agency-wide access to basic information needed by CDC managers at all levels. Health Impact Planning (also known as HI.net) is an umbrella project to consolidate budget planning and performance integration tools within CDC. It provides an effective and efficient technical architecture to facilitate future development while reducing steady state maintenance costs. HI.net is a combined effort to integrate planning and management tools across the agency, and to enable alignment of programs with agency goals and is a first step to integrate management and planning functions into a single, cohesive process that incorporates all perspectives. HI.net reduces duplication of data requests, integrates performance and budget, forecasts procurement/grant activities, accommodates strategic plans - and accomplishes these efforts before the fiscal year begins. HI.net is designed to be an integrated "full life-cycle" agency-wide planning and tracking tool and is intended to provide value to everyone working at CDC by helping to establish a clear "line-of-sight" from their work to agency level goals, objectives, and strategic imperatives that demonstrates the value of each individual's contribution to CDC's mission. HI.net will support budget planning and execution down to the project level and interface with the newly established Unified Financial Management System (UFMS), CDC's accounting system of record. Organizing information around a core work process is critical for sharing of knowledge and creating the firm linkages between agency efforts and achievement of Health Protection Goals and Strategic Imperatives. HI.net will make strategy, budget, and procurement information transparent and available to everyone in the agency. HI.net supports organization-wide learning and trust, promotes collaboration, makes exchange of information more efficient, and accelerates our achievement of Health Protection Goals. HI.net, currently a mixed life cycle, has been reviewed and approved by the CDC TRB and Executive Review Board. HI.net is primarily aligned with HHS' goal of "Budget and Performance Integration."

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	0.475	0.000	0.000	0.000
Acquisition Budgetary Resources	0.850	2.994	3.785	3.960
Maintenance Budgetary Resources	2.210	1.825	1.079	1.014
Government FTE Cost	1.107	0.521	0.545	0.565
# of FTEs	10	5	5	5

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.: No change for FY 2005: $1.578M Ops and Maint, and $.51M for DME. For FY 2006 the DME was reduced from $1.628M to $1.2M, and Ops and Maint was reduced from $1.732M to $1.354 for a net reduction of $.806M (recall there was a mandated 15% overall reduction. For FY 2007 the DME was increased from $1.432M to $3.576M, and Ops and Maint was decreased from $2.07M to $1.472M for a net increase of $1.546 (primarily for hardware, software tools and maintenance). As changes in approved funding occur for this investment, the summary of spending will be updated to reflect adjustments for the remainder of FY 2007, through FY 2014. Rebaseline requests will be submitted using appropriate CDC and HHS processes.

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.

Enterprise Architecture

In order to successfully address this area of the business case and capital asset plan you must ensure the investment is included in the agency's EA and Capital Planning and Investment Control (CPIC) process, and is mapped to and supports the FEA. You must also ensure the business case demonstrates the relationship between the investment and the business, performance, data, services, application, and technology layers of the agency's EA.

1. Is this investment included in your agency's target enterprise architecture?: yes

2. Is this investment included in the agency's EA Transition Strategy?: yes

2.a. If yes, provide the investment name as identified in the Transition Strategy provided in the agency's most recent annual EA Assessment.: CDC Health Impact Planning (HI.net/IRIS)

3. Is this investment identified in a completed (contains a target architecture) and approved segment architecture?: no

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?: 2006-07-14

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

3. Briefly describe how investment risks are reflected in the life cycle cost estimate and investment schedule:: The investment is risk and cost adjusted. The schedule is less flexible, but, as a contingency, the scope of deliverables can be adjusted. The planned milestones for Health Impact Planning are time and resource constrained. The milestone deliverables coincide with CDC's Budget Planning and execution cycles. Therefore, any missed project delivery dates would significantly impact CDC's budget cycle. This risk is mitigated by fall-back manual processes. The hardware and software acquisition plan is one of the critical success factors. The cost estimates allow for some slippage in the acquisition of hardware, and software development tools.

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
