- 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 about $516M in FY08. In TY08, the FPLS Federal Offset Program collected $2.85B. The FPLS Passport Denial Program resulted in denial of about 80 passports daily & $40.7M in lump sum payments in CY07. 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. In FY06 SSA estimated benefits of NDNH matching of about $50.4M in prevention of future overpayments & adjustments of incorrect payment amounts in the Supplemental Security Income program. In CY06, IRS used a combination of FCR & other data to recover over $376M in additional taxes owed. In FY07, NDNH data helped Dept of ED recover $1.1B in defaulted student loans. HUD estimated the subsidy error in FY06 for HUD's rental housing assistance programs identified using NDNH data to be about $387M. In CY07, DOL estimated benefits of NDNH & SDNH matching to be about $120M, which includes identification, recovery, and prevention of Unemployment Insurance benefit overpayments.

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

- 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.
- Budget estimates for FY2010 through FY2014 have been updated to reflect the revised FPLS Alternatives Analysis that was approved on March 20, 2008. These cost estimates are based on proposed future contracts and interagency agreements that will be awarded beginning in FY2009. The estimated # of FTEs varies from year to year due to SSA resources being used to support the FPLS. Under the current summary, the number of HHS/ACF FTEs (16)remains constant across all fiscal years.
PERFORMANCE
- 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.

- 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.
- The FPLS facilitates horizontal (cross-Federal) and vertical (Federal, State and local government) integration of IT resources and establishes a line of sight contribution for the IT resources to support the mission and program performance. The FPLS leverages existing Federal agency components (SSA's National Computer Center, Financial Management Service Debt Collection, National Institutes of Health Program Support Center) to support its deliveries of service. Since 1996, OCSE has maintained a strong working relationship with SSA founded in the two agencies' common legislative and business needs; as a result, the two agencies have successfully shared data and processes across agencies. Specifically, OCSE uses the SSA National Computer Center to house the FPLS, using SSA information and applications to improve the quality of its data. In turn, based on legislative authority, SSA uses the National Director of New Hires (NDNH) data for multiple purposes resulting in significant savings and cost avoidance to SSA programs. The FPLS leverages existing Federal agency components to support its deliveries of service. In addition to data center support, FPLS leverages: the SSANet for batch file exchanges; the SSA Government Services Online operation for batch file exchanges via Internet; the SSA SVES for benefit information and the SSA SSN verification routines. The FPLS also leverages the FMS TOPS Program for offset of Federal payments for outstanding debts, and PSC capabilities for the transfer of funds from FMS to States. On an annual basis, OCSE, as a part of its operations and maintenance of existing business applications, assesses the viability and usefulness of the application components. Decisions to enhance and modernize the applications are based on the impact assessment of changing requirements and related evaluations of solutions that leverage resources across government organizations and are consistent with the FEA.
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?
- 2008-03-24
- 1.b. Has the Risk Management Plan been significantly changed since last year's submission to OMB?
- no
- 1.c. If yes, describe any significant changes:
- Since project start-up, the FPLS Risk Management Plan has been, and will be, reviewed by FPLS project managers on an annual basis; both processes and responsible parties have been, and will be, updated as appropriate.
- 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?
- yes
- 3.a. If yes, when was it approved by the agency head?
- 2009-03-26
