- 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 seven legacy systems to better support FDA's mission. It aligns directly with Obj. 2.2 of the HHS strategic plan: Protect the Public Against Injuries and Environmental Threats, enables FDA Centers to meet FDA Goal 4: Improve the Quality and Safety of Manufactured Products and the Supply Chain, and helps support PMA Expanded E-Government. 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 from field activities; collect performance data, particularly that related to FDAAA; 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 an expert system risk-based approach possible. Interfaces with FDA labs are inadequate, and sample tracking inefficient. Enhancements are delayed due to 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. 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.

- 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.
- Funding is increased by P.L. 110-252, the "Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2008", signed into law on June 30, 2008. The appropriation increases the budget authority for increasing food protection, enhancing the safety of drugs, medical devices and biologics, and boosting the strength of the agency's workforce. Due to the short time between receiving the appropriation and submitting the FY2010 President's Budget Request, a full impact analysis is not complete. Once the analysis is complete, the Business Case will be updated to reflect the additional funding. The total increase due to the supplemental is $5.000M. This is for Predictive Risk-based Evaluation for Dynamic Import Compliance Targeting (PREDICT). This is reflected in the Summary of Spending in FY08 in the acquisition section as follows: an additional $4.010M in Contract Services (development, data sharing, imports modernization, deployment, PM, CPIC, EA) for a new total of $13.070M, and $0.340M in Security for a new total of $0.640M. And in the maintenance section as follows: an additional $0.600M in Contract Services (Current Events Intelligence, data clean up, PM, CPIC, EA) for a new total of $5.780M, and an additional $0.0.50M in Security for a new total of $0.300M. In addition, funds have been added to FY10 in order to provide for the operations and maintenance of PREDICT. This is reflected in the Summary of Spending in FY10 in the maintenance section as follows: an additional $2.760M in Contract Services for a new total of $8.604M, and an additional $0.240M in Security for a new total of $0.490M. An additional $1.200M in a further supplemental for FY09 is included. This is reflected in the Summary of Spending in FY09 in the acquisition section as follows: an additional $1.080M in Contract Services for a new total of $10.801M, and $0.120M in Security for a new total of $0.420M. As the timeframe for incorporating these funds into this investment has been short, this adjustment was not accomplished before the HHS deadline for submission.
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.

- 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
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?
- 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 accommodated quickly. Where possible, higher risk projects are scheduled without follow on dependencies so that a schedule delay will not impact other projects. Cost and schedule are risk adjusted based on the particulars of a project. This is done through an analogous and experience-based approach. For example, the Web Migration project was risk adjusted in both cost and schedule. In particular, the amount of time and money allocated to address issues that might arise after implementation was increased due to the risk of implementing this major infrastructure change across the entire United States and a total base of close to 5,000 users. The original cost and time estimates for this portion of the project were doubled. Due to a phased implementation approach, the number of issues after implementation was surprisingly low. This meant that this project was below budget and ahead of schedule because anticipated risks did not materialize into issues. Another example is the UNIX Migration project. An estimate was produced for this by a contractor. This estimate was essentially doubled in both time and cost. The MARCS management team felt that the estimate did not take into full account the risks from organizational and platform dependencies. This is a critical path project since effective future development is reliant upon upgraded infrastructure. The Standardized Evidence and Reference Services (SERS) project was also risk adjusted. Additional time and money has been included in its plan. This component will be accessed by almost every application within MARCS, so it is the source of a number of dependencies. This has also resulted in risk adjustments being made in the planning of other projects (such as Mobile Automated Regulatory Services) that are dependent on SERS. Each project in MARCS is approached on its individual merits and risk adjusted as appropriate as illustrated in the examples above.
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%?
- yes
- 2.a. If yes, was it the?
- Both
- 2.b. If yes, explain the variance.
- As a whole, the investment is not outside of the +/-10% variance threshold. SS Cost Variance is greater than allowable threshold but the overall cost variance is within 10%. When the Web Migration project began, monies were set aside in Steady State to address expected post implementation issues. Due to the size of the user base, the applications involved, and the geographical distribution of the user base, it was expected that a number of issues would be discovered after rolling out the web interface. However, a strategy of incremental deployment was utilized during development. This allowed early deployment to field locations as test implementations. The tests conducted during this time revealed a number of shortcomings that were corrected. This was all tracked as DME spending. Upon implementation of the entire project, the number of errors that were discovered had been significantly reduced due to the early deployment and testing. This resulted in a lower SS level of spending than was expected. The lower level of SS spending resulted in the SS Operations FY06- milestone variance of $0.247M. Monies were also earmarked for dealing with issues that were expected to arise after implementation of the DME milestone UNIX Migration Phase I in FY07. Implementation of this project has been delayed until August of 2008 as the scope was expanded due to an EA requirement to upgrade to Oracle 10g. The implementation was delayed as additional work was added to this milestone. This additional work included migrating to Oracle 10g and moving some elements from Phase II into Phase I. As a result, SS funds that were expected to be spent in FY07 have not been spent. These funds represent cost variance in the milestone SS Operations FY07 of $0.800 of the total $1.016M. Monies were also earmarked for dealing with issues that were expected to arise after implementation of the DME milestone UNIX Migration Phase II in FY08. This has been delayed due to the slippage in UNIX 1 and is expected to be completed in March of 2009. This accounts for $0.600M of the current cost variance of SS Operations FY08 of $0.844M.
- 2.c. If yes, what corrective actions are being taken?
- As a whole, the investment is not outside of the +/- 10% variance threshold. Due to supplemental funding received and changes in planning MARCS, the investment milestones will be adjusted. This will be done for three main reasons. The first is to address the added supplemental funds. The second is to address new requirements placed on MARCS due to the initiatives of the Harmonized Inventory investment. The third is to address the SS Cost Variance. The SS Cost Variance will be addressed directly by re-categorizing the current DME expenses for UNIX 1 and UNIX II to SS. These were originally classified as DME expenses based on a strict interpretation of what constitutes DME. As this was not just bug fixes, this was classified as such. In reality, these two projects are infrastructure upgrades that do not add new functionality. UNIX 1 is currently scheduled to be implemented during September, 2008. This implementation should produce an increase in SS spending that will also help to address the variance. Because of all the new work being added to MARCS, over time, the current SS variance will be reduced as the amount of SS spending increases.
- 3. Has the investment re-baselined during the past fiscal year?
- no
