I. D. 1. Table 1. Performance Information Table
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%.

I. F. 6. Will the application leverage existing components and/or applications across the Government (i.e., FirstGov, Pay.Gov, etc)?
no

II. A. 1. Did you conduct an alternatives analysis for this project?
yes

II. A. 2. Use the results of your alternatives analysis to complete the following table:
(Character Limitations: Alternative Analyzed - 250 characters; Description of Alternative - 500 Characters)

Description of Alternative Risk Lifecycle Cost Estimate Risk Lifecycle Benefits Estimate 1. Government & Contractor Maintenance This option shares the workload between government and contract staff. Under this model, the government staff coordinates with the program offices for posting content and acts as the SME for OMB guidance. The contract staff performs all the application-base operations and maintenance (updates, upgrades, bug fixes, etc.) as well as provides SMEs upon request. Both groups work together on any DME or re-engineering issues that may arise.     2. Government-Only Maintenance This option has all work being performed by government staff. Under this model, the government staff coordinates with the program offices for posting content, acts as the SME for OMB guidance, performs all the application-base operations & maintenance (updates, upgrades, bug fixes, etc.) and works on any DME or re-engineering issues that may arise.     3. Contractor-Only Maintenance This option has all work being performed by contractor staff. Under this model, the contractor staff coordinates with the program offices for posting content, acts as the SME for OMB guidance, performs all the application-base operations & maintenance (updates, upgrades, bug fixes, etc.) and works on any DME or re-engineering issues that may arise. The only government staff are the Project Manager and COR.

II. A. 3. Which alternative was selected by the Agency's Executive/Investment Committee and why was it chosen?
(long text - 2500 characters)
Alternative 1, "Government and Contractor Maintenance" was chosen. This alternative provides the best mix of human capital to meet the investment's business, customer-service, and maintenance needs.

II. A. 4. What specific qualitative benefits will be realized?
(long text - 2500 characters)
Compared to Alternative 2, "Government-Only Maintenance," Alternative 1 provides greater flexibility in staffing, especially in the operations and maintenance areas. With the contract staff, we can reduce and increase staff as needed. For example, during periods of light maintenance, the investment could exercise it's option to roll staff off the contract and reduce overall project spending. With the government-only alternative, the investment could have idle human capital. Compared to Alternative 3, "Contractor-Only Maintenance," Alternative 1 is much more cost-effective, especially in the area of customer-service. Often, the team is called upon to work late in order to get last-minute content published to the website. With a contract-only staff, this could potentially escalate costs even more.

II. A. 5. Will the selected alternative replace a legacy system in-part or in-whole?
no

UPI if available Date of the System Retirement

II. B. 1. Does the investment have a Risk Management Plan?
yes

II. B. 2. If there currently is no plan, will a plan be developed?

II. B. 3. Briefly describe how investment risks are reflected in the life cycle cost estimate and investment schedule:
(long text - 2500 characters)

II. C. 1. Does the earned value management system meet the criteria in ANSI/EIA Standard - 748?
yes

II. C. 2. Is the CV or SV greater than 10%?
no

II. C. 3. Has the investment re-baselined during the past fiscal year?
no

II. C. 4. Comparison of Initial Baseline and Current Approved Baseline
Complete the following table to compare actual performance against the current performance baseline and to the initial performance baseline. In the Current Baseline section, for all milestones listed, you should provide both the baseline and actual completion dates (e.g., "03/23/2003"/ "04/28/2004") and the baseline and actual total costs (in $ Millions). In the event that a milestone is not found in both the initial and current baseline, leave the associated cells blank.
