3. Bureau:: 70

4. Name of this Capital Asset:: ACF Expanded Federal Parent Locator Service (OCSE)

5. Unique Project Identifier:: 009-70-01-04-01-1000-00

6. What kind of investment will this be in FY2010?: Mixed Life Cycle

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.: 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 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 -2007	PY 2008	CY 2009	BY 2010
Planning Budgetary Resources	0.842	0.000	0.378	0.378
Acquisition Budgetary Resources	3.878	1.795	0.853	1.741
Maintenance Budgetary Resources	46.183	18.260	17.720	20.200
Government FTE Cost	6.909	2.537	6.643	7.373
# of FTEs	48	16	30	30

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

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.

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.: ACF Expanded Federal Parent Locator Service

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.

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

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?: 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
