Exhibit 300 (BY2009) - National Select Agent Registry (NSAR) (formerly SATERIS), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

PART ONE


OVERVIEW


1. Date of Submission:
2008-02-04
2. Agency:
009
3. Bureau:
20
4. Name of this Capital Asset:
CDC National Select Agent Registry (NSAR) (formerly SATERIS)
5. Unique Project Identifier:
009-20-01-03-01-0547-00
6. What kind of investment will this be in FY2009?
Mixed Life Cycle
7. What was the first budget year this investment was submitted to OMB?
FY2005
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 purpose of the joint CDC/HHS and APHIS/USDA inter-agency NSAR program is to support Public Law 107-188 by providing a single shared national database of information about regulated entities for Select Agent (SA) Program. The investment includes system software design & development, integration of COTS products, maintenance of the hardware, software, and database. Initial performance gaps include: inadequate database to collect, enter, process and report this information to appropriate authorities. It was difficult to manage the information necessary to regulate the Select Agent program. This investment addresses the performance gaps. It supports PMA-EGov by minimizing data entry redundancy through a single national database shared by CDC/APHIS, will improve information sharing when we implement collaborative electronic inter-agency approvals and will be able to reduce reporting burden for the regulated community when they have ability to complete/submit registration forms electronically. NSAR successfully merged their two select agent customer-facing websites into one shared national system. HHS obtained an agency neutral domain name for their shared system which is in use and serves as a single portal for SA information and for obtaining electronic forms for entities. Improvements in data collection accuracy, efficiency, & reporting have contributed to significant program performance improvements. Key capabilities provided: joint SA system architecture, a robust database, user based access, user interface, query, routine/ad-hoc reports and letters, document tracking, audit trails Targeted performance & productivity improvements include: reduction in the number of days to complete/process registrations through improved data entry and reporting, reduction in data entry error and unifying efficient information flows between agencies, minimizing redundant activities, and the reduction of the reporting burdens on the entities in cases of overlap agents. NSAR is designed to provide collaborative e-government activities between HHS, USDA, and DOJ. The joint inter-agency secure NSAR will provide regulated community capability to electronically submit SA forms thereby increasing process time. The impact of not fully funding this investment would include the loss of CDC's capability to efficiently comply with the mandates of PL 107-188,inability to register entities in a timely fashion, and inefficient inter-agency collaborative activities.

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.

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.

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?
2006-08-04
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:
Schedule Risk from external dependencies is mitigated through the use of conservative milestone completion date estimates. Previous experience with integration efforts with both external agencies (CDC's Secure Data Network and USDA/APHIS) has provided historical context for adjusting internal schedule estimates with appropriate additional calendar time (adjusted at a macro level since we do not have a contractual relationship with either of the agencies with which we have schedule dependencies). Internal schedule risks are also accounted for through milestone estimate adjustments for historical experience, though are more directly tied to specific WBS tasks. The investment development effort is a complex project with multiple time-phased releases, however the major architectural elements are complete, integrated, and deployed; they no longer represent significant schedule risk. Initial Cost Risk is no longer a major factor since the investment has attained initial operational deployment and is 4 years into its contract. In addition, several major changes of direction for the program, driven both internally and through external direction (e.g., OMB direction to change development to a joint inter-agency system) make original cost estimates invalid. This investment is incrementally funded through annual exercise of option years to the contract base year (each year is fully funded/committed as funds are available). The original, modified, and current investment budget cost estimates are OMB approved. Lifecycle Cost Risk is estimated against the base year and 4 option years of the current contract, plus an additional estimated five years of use. Original Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) figures present a Benefit-Cost Ratio of 1.64 with a payback period of approximately 7 years. As noted in the schedule risk and initial cost risk sections above, schedule adjustments have been made for both internal and external schedule risks, and associated cost estimates have been approved by OMB. The costs reported to OMB and used in the CBA include all development costs (DME) for the current contract period and estimated maintenance costs of the system/software for the projected five year follow-on contract (in line with the expected life cycle of the system). Earned Value Management information is reported monthly and overall investment cost and schedule variances are and expected to remain well below 10% for the remainder of the contract.

COST & SCHEDULE


1. Does the earned value management system meet the criteria in ANSI/EIA Standard 748?
no
2. Is the CV% or SV% greater than ± 10%?
no
3. Has the investment re-baselined during the past fiscal year?
no
