Welcome

The OCIO is directed by the Chief Information Officer (CIO) who reports directly to the Secretary. The CIO’s vision is to provide DOI business owners with innovative information technologies that enhance service delivery. Without effective use of technology and information resources, all services to the public would decrease, and many would be unavailable.

The Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO) provides leadership to the Department and its bureaus in all areas of information management and technology. Functional areas include: IT investment and portfolio management, enterprise architecture, cyber-security, information resources management (including Freedom of Information Act, Privacy Act, records management, and DOI’s web presence) and telecommunications services (including voice, data, and radio communication systems and services.) Authorities for the organization are: the Paperwork Reduction Act, the Clinger-Cohen Act (formerly known as the Information Technology Management Reform Act of 1996), the Government Paperwork Elimination Act, the Federal Records Act, the Freedom of Information Act, the Privacy Act, the Federal Information Security Management Act, and the E-Government Act of 2002.

The CIO monitors the performance of Interior's information technology programs and activities. The CIO consults with the Department's Chief Financial Officer to assure that Interior information technology programs and activities are carried out in a cost-effective manner, and that financial and related program information is reliable, consistent, and timely. The CIO deals with top-level officials in the Office of Management and Budget, other federal agencies, and appears to testify before Congressional committees.
