(long text - 2500 characters) 
BUSINESS PROBLEM Both USAID and the State Department provide significant levels of assistance through various grants and other programs. The USAID assistance budget has grown to over $15B in 2006 with only minor increases in staffing to handle the monitoring and reporting of the results of the assistance grants. USAID’s processes for managing procurements and grants are paper-based, and processes often vary from one mission to another. The State Department provides Federal financial assistance (FFA) through a variety of instruments including grants, cooperative agreements and certain types of contributions. The Department lacks comprehensive and reliable information on Federal financial assistance, which exceeded $5 billion in fiscal year 2005. This is due, in part, to the Department’s use of non-standardized policies and procedures and disparate information systems. The Joint Assistance Management System (JAMS) is a joint effort between USAID and the State Department to collaborate to the maximum extent practicable in the implementation of a single version of software to support their grants and assistance function. The software will directly link to each agency’s respective financial system to reduce errors and increase the speed of processing. Additionally and concurrently, USAID is replacing multiple legacy systems with an integrated tool for simple procurements, e-Catalogs, and large acquisitions and will also integrate with the USAID financial management system. This is the Procurement Systems Improvement Project (PSIP). CURRENT STATUS The JAMS PMO expects to conduct a pilot test of the procurement solution in December of 2006, and plans to complete world-wide rollout by the end of calendar year 2007. Check points, such as a proof of concept test in November 2006 and a pilot test of the full grants solution in August 2007, will ensure that the vendor is on track to meet all of USAID and States user requirements. Our vision is to deploy PSIP world-wide by the end of fiscal year 2008. Additionally, USAID plans to complete JAMS’ rollout by the end of calendar year 08. The State Department will also complete integration with its financial management system once the two components of State Department financial systems are merged in FY08. In FY09 JAMS and PSIP will be 2 independent efforts and thus will submit 2 Exhibit 300s.

Section B: Summary of Funding  
  
 
I. B. 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.
Note: For the cross-agency investments, this table should include all funding (both managing and partner agencies). Government FTE Costs should not be included as part of the TOTAL represented.
 
PY-1 and Spending Prior to 2006PY 2006CY 2007BY 2008
Planning$0.00$0.95$0.99$1.00
Acquisition$0.00$4.37$17.14$9.11

Government FTE Costs$0.00$0.00$1.17$1.02
Number of FTE represented by cost$0.00$0.00$15.00$15.00
 
  
I. B. 2. Will this project require the agency to hire additional FTE's?  
yes 
  
 
I. B. 2. a. If "yes", How many and in what year?  
(medium text - 500 characters) 
4 FTE in FY07 
  
I. B. 3. If the summary of spending has changed from the FY2007 President's budget request, briefly explain those changes.  
(long text - 2500 characters) 
The summary of spending has been changed to reflect up to date planning and acquisition costs. The scope, intent, and purpose of the JAMS/PSIP implementation has increased significantly since the FY07 budget request submission. Since the inception of the project, it has been determined that additional functionality will be implemented into both JAMS and PSIP, and this additional work requires additional development and integration costs. Additionally, the Department of State has requested additional funds to integrate JAMS into currently existing secure applications. Considerable changes to the President’s FY08 Budget as well as OMB’s FY08 Passback had major impacts to this program and resulted in the need for a re-baseline. 
  
Section D: Performance Information  
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 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 or qualitative measure.
Agencies must use Table 1 below for reporting performance goals and measures for all non-IT investments and for existing IT investments that were initiated prior to FY 2005. The table can be extended to include measures for years beyond FY 2006.

I. F. 3. 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/.  
FEA SRM 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. FEA Service Component Reused - 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 Porject 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 comonent 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.
