[Document No. JFMIP-SR-02-03]
Joint Financial Management Improvement Program (JFMIP)--Federal
Financial Management System Requirements (FFMSR)
AGENCY: Joint Financial Management Improvement Program (JFMIP).
ACTION: Notice of document availability.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The JFMIP is seeking public comment on an exposure draft
entitled ``Non-Income Tax Revenue System Requirements,'' dated July
2002. The draft is the first Federal Financial Management System
Requirements (FFMSR) document to address standard financial
requirements for Federal non-income tax revenue systems. The document
is intended to assist agencies when developing, improving or evaluating
revenue systems. It provides the baseline functionality that agency
systems must have to support agency missions and comply with laws and
regulations. When issued in final, the document will augment the
existing body of FFMSR that define financial system functional
requirements which are used in evaluating compliance with the Federal
Financial Management Improvement Act (FFMIA) of 1996.
DATES: Comments are due by September 13, 2002.
ADDRESSES: Copies of the exposure draft have been mailed to senior
financial officials and chief information officers, together with a
transmittal memo listing items of interest for which JFMIP is
soliciting feedback. The Exposure Draft and transmittal memo are
available on the JFMIP Web site: WWW.JFMIP.GOV. Responses should be
addressed to JFMIP, 1990 K Street, NW., Suite 430, Washington, DC
20006.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Daniel Costello, (202) 219-0542 or
daniel.costello@gsa.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FFMIA of 1996 mandated that agencies
implement and maintain systems that comply substantially with FFMSR,
applicable Federal accounting standards, and the U.S. Government
Standard General Ledger at the transaction level. The FFMIA statute
codified the JFMIP financial system requirements documents as a key
benchmark that agency systems must meet to substantially comply with
systems requirements provisions under FFMIA. To support the provisions
outlined in the FFMIA, the JFMIP is updating obsolete requirements
documents and publishing additional requirements documents. Comments
received will be reviewed and the exposure draft will be revised as
necessary. Publication of the final document will be mailed to agency
financial officials, chief information officers, and others, and will
be available on the JFMIP Web site.
An open house is scheduled for August 8, 2002, from 1 to 3 pm in
the OPM main auditorium, located at 1900 E Street NW., to provide
additional information on the Exposure Draft. The name, organization,
telephone number, and e-mail address for attendees should be e-mailed
to daniel.costello@gsa.gov or faxed to 202-219-0549.

Executive Director, Joint Financial Management Improvement Program.
