Exhibit 300 (BY2009) - PHIN: National Environmental Public Health Tracking Network (NEPHTN), 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 PHIN: National Environmental Public Health Tracking Network (NEPHTN)

5. Unique Project Identifier:: 009-20-01-03-01-0615-00

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?: FY2002

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.: In 2002, Congress appropriated funds to CDC to develop a NEPHTN to address a critical national envtl health gap: the lack of information to document links between envtl hazards and diseases for use in reducing & preventing the burden of environmentally related diseases. The NEPTHN melds data from envtl hazard monitoring and human exposure & health effect surveillance into a network of standardized electronic data systems. It is the first national effort to provide the U.S. with standardized data from multiple health, exposure, and hazard information systems for possible linkage as part of routine surveillance activities. It will be a distributed, secure, web-based network that provides access to data collected across a variety of agencies and will include state-based network components. By bringing health & envtl data together and making them readily accessible, exchangeable, nationally consistent/standardized, and linkable, the NEPHTN will reduce the time & resources (in both FTEs & cost) needed by federal, state & local health depts and others to identify and respond to envtl health issues including creating data-driven envtl health policies . Health care providers can use NEPHTN information to target care & preventive services and the public can use this information to better understand what is occurring in their communities. Thus, this supports CDC's goals to ensure healthy people in every stage of life (Objective (O): promote social and physical environments that are accessible; that support health, safety, and development); healthy people in healthy places (O: support a robust, sustainable capacity to provide access to and ensure receipt of essential public health services ); and people prepared for emerging health threats (O: integrate and enhance existing surveillance systems) and NCEH's efforts to prevent illness, disability and death from interactions between people and the envt. A large portion of this investment goes into extramural projects: through FY05, CDC funded state & local planning/capacity building; infrastructure enhancement; and data linkage pilot projects. In FY06, CDC funded state & local health depts to begin constructing statewide networks that will be components of NEPHTN. Extramural dollars are not reflected (per OMB request) in the Summary of Spending table. Extramural & intramural dollars can't be separated from PM strategies/analysis described in other parts of the 300 (e.g. Alt analysis).

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	8.292	1.632	0.832	0.708
Acquisition Budgetary Resources	0.000	1.088	1.942	1.981
Maintenance Budgetary Resources	0.000	0.000	0.000	0.142
Government FTE Cost	2.458	0.644	0.656	0.670
# of FTEs	12	6	6	6

2. Will this project require the agency to hire additional FTE's?: yes

2.a. If "yes," how many and in what year?: Ideally, for FY07, FY08, and FY09 the investment will require 3 additional FTEs each year. However, given the availability of FTEs and the current HHS hiring restrictions, it is not anticipated that additional FTEs will be available. For this reason, the summary of spending estimates does not currently include the cost of additional desired FTEs. (additional note regarding SoS table: # of FTEs for FY02-FY05 represents the average annual number)

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.
