5. Unique Project Identifier:: 009-90-01-01-01-1011-00

6. What kind of investment will this be in FY2009?: Operations and Maintenance

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.: The Debt Management Branch (DMB) of the Program Support Center's (PSC) Financial Management Service (FMS) is one of only two Treasury-designated Debt Collection Centers. The Debt Management and Collection System (DMCS) is a financial management system critical to DMB to manage its debt portfolio and support its debt collection activities and to meet the mission and regulatory requirements of its customer organizations. All requirements of the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 and HHS's Claims Collection Regulations, such as initial debt calculation and recording, interest and penalty accruals, due diligence, collections, and litigation process tracking, have been incorporated into DMCS. . In its efforts to provide social and economic benefits to its citizens, Congress will often specify unique repayment requirements and penalties for defaulting on Government backed loans, scholarships, and other types of grants. These repayment terms, penalties, etc. are often not only unique to the specific program (loan, scholarship) but may be specific to the time period because of changes to the legislation by succeeding Congresses. DMCS provides the flexibility to handle the wide variety of repayment terms and penalties without resorting to manual processing of individual loans or scholarships. DMCS helps PSC and its customers achieve HHS and PMA business and strategic goals by providing for an enterprise-wide solution to a financial management process - the management of non-federal debt, which includes prompt collection of improper payments. The DMCS also utilizes the latest integration mechanisms with the US Treasury FMS and IRS systems as well as enables automated credit reporting. DMCS also interfaces with UFMS to provide for the transfer of accounting data to the HHS financial system. HHS determined through an independent study of alternatives that no other product, including Oracle U.S. Federal Financials, could meet the requirements for debt management within HHS.

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.: PSC Debt Management and Collection System (DMCS)

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.

Row	Agency Component Name	Agency Component Description	Service Type	Component	Reused Component Name	Reused UPI	Internal or External Reuse?	Funding %
1	Debt Collection	Defines the set of capabilities that support the process of accounts receivable.	Financial Management	Debt Collection			No Reuse	100
