                         I.A. Project Description
                         1. Provide a brief description of this project and its status through your capital planning and investment control
                         (CPIC) or capital programming "control" review for the current cycle.
                         FPPS is an automated system that supports Federal personnel and payroll requirements for 27 agencies. FPPS is a fully
                         operational system that is managed to meet system requirements dictated by regulations. FPPS is modernized and
                         enhanced in accordance with recommendations from a user group comprised of all clients.

                         Overall program management is provided by a Management Initiatives Team composed of senior officials of the
                         Department of the Interior and its bureaus. This team considers all aspects of strategic planning, budgeting, procurement,

                         2. What assumptions are made about this project and why?
                         It is anticipated that FPPS will be replaced by a COTS product when COTS products are proven effective in the Federal
                         personnel and payroll environment.

                         3.   Provide any other supporting information derived from research, interviews, and other documentation.

                         I.B. Justification (All Assets)
                         1. How does this investment support your agency's mission and strategic goals and objectives?
                         The Department's mission is to "protect and provide access to our Nation's natural and cultural heritage and honor our
                         trust responsibilities to tribes." This cannot be accomplished without the proper management and maintenance of the
                         Department's human resources. The investment in the FPPS System was directed by the Department of the Interior (DOI)
                         after determining that a more modern and automated System, than was currently being used by Interior, was needed to
                         support their future personnel and payroll needs in the management of their human resources. FPPS was designed to
                         automate extensive manual tasks associated with federal personnel and payroll processing activities, including all
                         personnel actions, producing certified pay to employees, maintenance of pay history, all employee benefits processing,
                         W2 processing, taxes, and regulatory reports. FPPS also provides an extensive Datamart that is used to produce reports
                         in the management of human capital.

                         2. How does it support the strategic goals from the President's Management Agenda?
                         FPPS directly supports the President’s Management Agenda through its e-Payroll Initiative. The Department of the
                         Interior, utilizing the FPPS system, has tentatively been selected to be one of the interim payroll systems to provide payroll
                         services across the entire Federal government. The number of agencies serviced by FPPS will be greatly expanded to
                         meet the President’s Management Agenda goal of having all agencies serviced by one of the selected payroll systems
                         effective September 2004.
FPPS also directly impacts the Strategic Management of the Department’s Human Capital. FPPS automated many
manual tasks associated with management of human resources and gave instant access to reports on human capital.
DOI’s objective was also to provide a personnel and payroll system that could provide cross servicing to other government
agencies; thereby, providing "economy of scale" and reducing the cost to Interior as well as the other agencies being
serviced. FPPS reduced the need for retention of paper and provided electronic signature authority meeting the GPEA
goals. FPPS supports the President’s Management Agenda through bringing standardization and automation to the
processing of essential administrative services and thereby reducing costs.

3. Are there any alternative sources in the public or private sectors that could perform this function?
Alternative sources in both the public and private sector were evaluated by an independent contractor in 1990.

4. If so, explain why your agency did not select one of these alternatives.
The Contractor concluded that no private companies at that time provided personnel and payroll processing that met the
requirements for Federal employees. They also concluded that systems available in the private sector at that time were
not sufficiently technologically or functionally advanced to meet Interior's long-term requirements nor did they meet the
functionality specified by DOI through their "DOI Model". Subsequently Interior's evaluation of alternative sources
determined that a new system under development by another agency was sufficiently technologically advanced to serve
as a core for Interior. While this system did not provide for the depth of requirements specified by the DOI Model, Joint
Financial Management Improvement Program (JFMIP), or by the current stakeholders (User Transition Team) it was
sufficient to establish a baseline technology that could be built upon. This system served as the foundation for Interior's
development of FPPS.

5. Who are the customers for this project?
The customers of FPPS are all Interior bureaus and other government agencies that are serviced by FPPS. Currently, the
System does personnel and payroll processing for 27 government agencies, including the Department of the Interior. The
system processes personnel and payroll actions for over 210,000 government employees.

6. Who are the stakeholders of this project?
All Interior bureaus and government agencies with an Interagency Agreement with Interior to process their personnel and
payroll transactions. The Department of the Interior is the system owner.

8. How will this investment reduce costs or improve efficiencies?
FPPS automated many personnel and payroll tasks that were previously accomplished manually. Therefore, there was a
reduction in the number of human resources needed to support personnel and payroll processing. Also, personnel and
payroll actions are completed in a more expedient manner under FPPS. The system also reduced the need for paper, by
electronically providing required OPM forms and electronic signature capability. FPPS keeps extensive history of all
personnel and payroll actions, eliminating the need for paper folders. FPPS provides this history on one database in a
"Datamart". The Department has been able to better manage their workforce by using the Datamart to produce needed
information in a more comprehensive and timely manner.

Part II: Additional Business Case Criteria for Information Technology

II.A Enterprise Architecture

II.A.1 Business

A. Is this project identified in your agency's enterprise architecture? If not, why?

B. Explain how this project conforms to your departmental (entire agency) enterprise architecture.
The Department of the Interior's Enterprise Architecture was not established prior to the development of FPPS. It is
currently in draft and FPPS fully meets the draft Architecture. Any future changes to the Architecture will be incorporated
into FPPS as part of its normal main

C. Identify the Lines of Business and Sub-Functions within the Federal Enterprise Architecture Business
Reference Model that will be supported by this initiative.
FPPS supports the Internal Operations and Infrastructure business area, Human Resources business line and Payroll
Management and Expense Reimbursement sub-function.

D. Briefly describe how this initiative supports the identified Lines of Business and Sub-Functions of the Federal
Business Architecture.
FPPS is the leading integrated HR/Payroll system in the federal government, supporting the Department of the Interior
and 27 other federal agencies within a consolidated system. FPPS, as part of the NBC offering, will be an essential link in
the E-Payroll initiative to consolidate payroll providers across the federal government.

E. Was this project approved through the EA Review committee at your agency?

F. What are the major process simplification/reengineering/design projects that are required as part of this
FPPS is an integrated personnel and payroll system supporting the President's management agenda for strategic
management of human capital. Re-engineering with each client is accomplished at the time of their implementation to
FPPS. Additional efforts are initiated through the FPPS Users Group. No major design projects are currently scheduled.

G. What are the major organization restructuring, training, and change management projects that are required?
None at this time. This system is fully operational. There is already an organization in place with training programs and
change control procedures, including web-based training.

H. What are the Agency lines of business involved in this project?
Personnel and payroll processing. FPPS Impacts all human resource offices and timekeepers, and provides input to an
agencies accounting system as well as numerous client specific systems.

I. What are the implications for the agency business architecture?
There are no mandatory agency business changes required. The system is sufficiently flexible to accommodate most
government agencies personnel and payroll needs. FPPS's integrated approach supports agency goals for managing
human capital.
II.A.2 Data

A. What types of data will be used in this project?
Personnel and payroll employee related data.

B. Does the data needed for this project already exist at the Federal, State, or Local level? If so, what are your
plans to gain access to that data?

C. Are there legal reasons why this data cannot be transferred? If so, what are they and did you address them in
the barriers and risk sections above?
Yes, this System contains extensive privacy. The NBC is an active participant in the Human Resources Data Network
(HRDN) project. So, as the federal government establishes better business process to share HR data, FPPS can
accommodate these new requirements

D. If this initiative processes spatial data, identify planned investments for spatial data and demonstrate how the
agency ensures compliance with the Federal Geographic Data Committee standards required by OMB Circular A-

II.A.3 Application and Technology

A. Discuss this initiative/project in relationship to the application and technology layers of the EA. Include a
discussion of hardware, applications, infrastructure, etc.
As stated above, the IEA TRM is in draft format only at this time. FPPS is in full compliance with this draft. FPPS hardware
meets all requirements and is maintained on a 3-5 year life cycle. FPPS application requirements are in compliance
including supporting web-based clients, a separate Datamart, having an established change control process and
supporting Web Services based system interface. FPPS infrastructure requirements are in compliance including user and
data security, IP only networking and firewalls.

B. Are all of the hardware, applications, and infrastructure requirements for this project included in the EA
Technical Reference Model? If not, please explain.

II.B Security and Privacy

NOTE: Each category below must be addressed at the project (system/application) level, not at a program or a
gency level, not at a program or agency level. Referring to security plans or other documents is not an
acceptable response.
