Mixed Life Cycle 
  
I. A. 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:  
(long text - 2500 characters) 
Funding for this investment is being reduced in FY08 due to Agency budget constraints. This investment provides critical 24X7 worldwide IT infrastructure and support to the U.S. Agency for International Development's (USAID) staff and mission. Included in this support is the local area network (LAN), metropolitan area network (MAN), wide area network (WAN), and satellite communications among approximately 8,000 end users within the Agency, in addition to facilitating their USAID communications with U.S. citizens and other stakeholders. Functionality requirements continue to increase as the Agency must continually tighten IT security, support additional corporate applications, and operate in increasing numbers of locations, including multiple sites in some countries throughout the world. All of these trends lead to increased pressure on the Agency's infrastructure operations while budgets decrease. Regarding the modernization of USAID's infrastructure, the technology modernization program, the DME portion of this investment was originally proposed to be 5 years and $55 million. Costs are now estimated to be $58.2 million, with the increase resulting from refinements to original estimates for the WAN modernization and security upgrade portions of the program. Although FY09 was expected to be the final year of the original 5-year program, funding is expected to be unavailable to complete the program in FY09 based on the current budget projections. The investment for steady-state infrastructure therefore would need to be initiated in FY10 and would have to pick up the remaining technology modernization components from the original program. Given the Agency's current budget environment, it is difficult to envision how USAID would be able to incorporate a regular annual cycle of infrastructure replacement. Finally, the future holds questions for USAID's infrastructure costs and management approach, given ongoing discussions with the Department of State on infrastructure collaboration. A separate investment describes the collaboration project; that project is identifying engineering, cost and governance issues and testing collaboration models.

Section B: Summary of Spending (All Capital Assets)  
  
 
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.

I. B. 2. Will this project require the agency to hire additional FTE's?  
no 
  
 
I. B. 2. a. If "yes," How many and in what year?  
(medium text - 500 characters) 
  
I. B. 3. If the summary of spending has changed from the FY2008 President's budget request, briefly explain those changes.  
(long text - 2500 characters) 
The operations and maintenance budget for FY 2008 is being reduced even further. Due to this reduction, performance measures and service level agreements will need to be reduced over the next several weeks. The funding for the FY08 technology modernization is at risk as of February 2008; planning numbers are shown in this document. Project milestones, scope and schedule will be reduced if planned funding level is not available. 
  
Section D: Performance Information (All Capital Assets)  
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.

I. F. 4. Service Component Reference Model (SRM) Table :  
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.egov.gov.

a. Use existing SRM Components or identify as “NEW”. A “NEW” component is one not already identified as a service component in the FEA SRM.
b. 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.
c. ‘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.
d. Please provide the percentage of the BY requested funding amount used for each service component listed in the table. If external, provide the percentage of the BY requested funding amount transferred to another agency to pay for the service. The percentages in this column can, but are not required to, add up to 100%.
