OVERVIEW
- 1. Date of Submission:
- 2008-02-04
- 2. Agency:
- 009
- 3. Bureau:
- 10
- 4. Name of this Capital Asset:
- FDA Mission Accomplishments and Regulatory Compliance Services (MARCS) (FY09)
- 5. Unique Project Identifier:
- 009-10-01-03-01-8021-00
- 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?
- FY2004
- 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.
- The MARCS program manages the integration, reengineering and enhancement of eight legacy systems to better support FDA's mission. It aligns directly with Obj. 2.2 of HHS draft strategic plan for FY07-2012, enables FDA Centers to meet Obj. 4.3, and helps ensure effective management of Human Capital and IT technology. FDA uses MARCS' applications to: plan FDA field activities and assign staff to inspections, investigations, recalls and other compliance activities; track and control samples and the results of laboratory analysis; collect and maintain information resulting from field activities; collect performance data, particularly that related to PDUFA and MDUFMA; send Prior Notice for food imports to Customs and accept import product information from Customs for screening; screen 18 million import lines a year based on calculated risk; collect information about the facilities FDA regulates and those in the import supply chain for risk-based targeting; provide FDA Centers with information on inspections, compliance actions, recalls, laboratory analysis and facilities. Although legacy systems help meet current performance goals, their weaknesses pose increasing risk. HW/SW platforms are aging and inconsistent with EA standards. Import functionality has outgrown platforms, degrading performance; as imports increase, this gap widens. Platforms don't support 24/7 operation--a Bioterrorism Act requirement. The paradigm on which import screening was based has changed; new technologies make a risk-based approach possible. Interfaces with FDA labs are inadequate, and sample tracking inefficient. Enhancements are "backed" up behind the high cost of maintaining the legacy framework. MARCS is addressing these problems through a combination of technical upgrades, redesign of core components, and enhancements to existing functionality. Migration of MARCS' legacy systems to the Web is complete and migration to Sun/Solaris platforms on track for 2008. Integration, reduced maintenance, and increased functionality will be accomplished through a reusable service-based approach, component by component. A planned alignment to FDA-wide Product Quality investment and Import Safety Workgroup's recommendations, including a system inventory required for interoperability, continuity of operations, and implementation, will enable FDA to move away from stove-piped and redundant systems across the enterprise.

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.

- 6. Will the application leverage existing components and/or applications across the Government (i.e., FirstGov, Pay.Gov, etc)?
- yes
- 6.a. If yes, please describe.
- Yes. Through its interfaces with CBP's systems, MARCS will continue to enable FDA staff to work collaboratively at the U.S. borders with CBP to screen, review, hold, or seize FDA regulated products that might cause harm to humans or other animals. Neither CBP nor FDA could accomplish the full mission by themselves, but the automated systems that are currently in place provide limited support to this funciton. As FDA evolves to MARCS and CBP implements ACE this interaction should be even tighter. In addition to providing more effective screening for safety, this collaborarion reduces the impact on trade that would be the result of separate systems.
PART TWO
RISK
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?
- 2007-05-22
- 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:
- Risk was one of the major factors in selecting the overall MARCS approach (the alternative to migrate to web and rebuild over time) because FDA's regulatory environment is dynamic and cannot be put in position where change cannot be accomated quickly. Where possible, higher risk projects are scheduled without time critical dependencies so that a schedule delay will not impact other projects, e.g. the Project Manager risk-adjusted the project and contractor team's schedule and costs for the Web and Unix conversions - two projects considered high risk due to the potential adverse impact on the field by adding more testing and modification than originally planned. For the Document Management project, project management planned/spent extra time developing a concept of operations and documenting high level requirements to ensure that the project's scope and contract delivery estimates were realistic. The combination of these approaches--risk-adjusted costs and substantial planning - have been applied to contracts, in addition to project managers applying risk mitigation strategies to the individual projects.
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
