 EPA Enterprise Transition Plan 2009
                                     1. Introduction
 1.1  Purpose and Benefit
The Enterprise Transition Plan (ETP) describes EPA's overarching strategy for modernizing the Agency's
infrastructure and change processes in support of the business, as well as the specific IT projects and
approach EPA will use to achieve its target architecture.1 The ETP provides EPA stakeholders with the
information needed to identify the line of sight between the Agency's business, performance, data,
application/service, and technology projects; the investments that fund these projects; the segments
they support and the processes necessary to facilitate change. This framework allows Agency decision-
makers and senior executives to plan strategically from a holistic, enterprise perspective. As a result,
EPA will be better informed during the investment decision-making process by allowing executives to set
and pursue outcome driven business goals through enabling service-centric investment technologies
aligned with both  mission and Agency's target EA.  The specific benefits of this ETP include:

   •  A strategic approach for the planning, execution, and measurement of performance for Agency
       activities needed to transition EPA toward  its target EA
   •  Agile and less costly investments because of faster development and deployment cycles and
       greater interoperability driven by increased standardization, sharing and reuse of processes,
       services, and technology including those identified investments in the Agency's Sequencing Plan;
       Emphasis  on enterprise-wide, rather than program-specific, planning and investment activities
   •  Improved portfolio decision-making through identified linkages of current and planned (where
       known) investments to major transition activities
 1.2  Background and Strategy
The Clinger-Cohen Act of 1996 established a formal requirement for all executive branch agencies to
develop enterprise architecture (EA) programs and to use the practice for planning investments in
information technology (IT).  The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) defines a complete EA as a
comprehensive series of principles, practices, guidelines, models, and standards that enable an
organization to align the acquisition, development, and management of its IT assets with its business
goals and functions.
EPA has continued to develop a comprehensive Enterprise Architecture (EA) program that seeks to
provide Agency executives with the tools and information they need to ensure EPA's investment
portfolio directly supports the mission and goals to protect human health and the environment.  The EA
Program is guided by the EPA Strategic Plan, which provides a framework for Agency annual planning,
budgeting, and accountability by identifying the measurable environmental and human health outcomes
that the public can expect over the next five years.  EPA will issue a draft of the 2009-2014 Strategic Plan
1 EPA's Target Architecture version 2.0, completed in 2002, is available at
http://intranet.epa.gov/architec/archive/targetea 1216/index.html.  EPA is currently revising the Target
Architecture, which will be released as version 3.0 in 2009.

 EPA Enterprise Transition Plan 2009
for public review and comment in the spring of 2009 and which will be finalized in fall of 2009.  EPA's
overarching framework of goals and objectives remains unchanged from the current 2006-2011
Strategic Plan.
The ongoing 2009-2014 Strategic Plan update focuses on a limited number of targeted areas where the
Agency believes it can make the most significant improvements in advancing the Agency's mission of
protecting human health and the environment.  The Enterprise Transition Plan (ETP) will continue to be
refreshed to align with the changing Strategic Plan.

This ETP supports and aligns with Presidential, Agency and the Office of Environmental Information (OEI)
priorities and goals.  Because EPA's information strategy involves many complimentary pieces -
information technology, information collection, information management, information access,
information collaboration, information training and information quality, the ETP is guided by the
following principle:  "readily available, high-quality information serves as a strategic resource for
protecting the environment and human health."
In 2002, EPA defined a target architecture and continues to utilize it to drive  business modernization.  In
2009, the target is undergoing a major revision to  address changes in technology, policy and priorities
since the previous version. Because the target continues to undergo revision and agency wide
institutionalization, the ETP will also be revised along with its changes.  Chapter four of this ETP
addresses the current state of the target. The target architecture includes, as an integral component, a
suite of Enterprise Tools and Services to better facilitate the collection, storage, and sharing of data in a
reliable and secure manner across the Agency. These tools provide a foundation on which common
services can be reused across the Agency, thus allowing EPA to achieve potential cost-savings.  The suite
of Enterprise Tools and Services when combined with an increased reliance on  Commercial off-the-Shelf
(COTS) products, as well as both externally and federally-hosted solutions, offers EPA's business
programs flexible options for reengineering their business.

In September 2005, EPA prepared a "Transition  Strategy & Sequencing Plan" (TS&SP), which
summarized progress towards the implementation of the Enterprise Tools and  Services, as well as
specified priorities for the migration of EPA's major investments to the data integration infrastructure
services offered by these tools. Building on the  fundamental strategies and practices to mature and
institutionalize EA throughout EPA, in FY2009, the IT Strategic Planning Branch  and  the Chief Architect
initiated a top-down program review and re-structuring effort to better align resources, budget, and
activities with strategic goals and will result in organizational  priorities. This  re-alignment effort is
driven by the OEI National Program Manager goals2 to: "promote and facilitate transparency",
"champion  collaboration and participation", "maintain an agile and secure infrastructure", and
"coordinate and deliver access to high quality information".  Achieving these goals will serve in closing
agency performance gaps (identified via agency performance improvement and strategic planning
activities), providing for savings, cost avoidance, strengthening the quality of investments within the
agency portfolios and improving program performance in terms of planning and management.
 These core priorities are summarized in the FY 2009 National Program Manager Priorities guidance.

Increased understanding and identification of the investments within the
organization (including those outside their own program or regional
offices), what investments are planned and which are needed in order to
eanble EPA reach its business priorities via the target EA, and
determining project priority, as it relates to funding allocation.
Identification of gaps and overlaps in investment plans to move EPA
towards its target EA and enhanced coordination of EPA IT planning
activities via an authoritative plan.
Provide investment managers with an understanding of the planned and
necessary changes for addressing the Agency-wide vision for information
management and to help them identify changes and improvements
needed in their own investments.

extent to which current IT resources and projects are supporting EPA
strategic goals, gaps in operational performance, and business
improvement opportunities that are in line with target EA concepts (e.g.,
service reuse, IT infrastructure consolidation).
Understanding of EPA's IT landscape (inclusive of ongoing and planned IT
systems) in terms of where desired segment functionality and services
could be fulfilled by existing or planned Enterprise Tools and Services.
Communicate EPA strategic priorities and transition activities and
collaborate across the Federal government on EA best practices.
 1.4  Assumptions

For the purposes of this document, in addition to ensuring consistency with recommendations put forth
by OMB in the EA Assessment Framework Version 3.0, the following are key assumptions regarding
EPA's ETP:

   •  The foundation for analysis of this document centers on 'projects'.  For the purposes of this
       document, EPA defines a 'project' as an information system contained in the Agency's
       architecture and investment portfolio. Multiple projects may be included in a single investment,
       and a single project may have components in multiple investments. Projects may also cross-cut
       multiple segments and dependencies may exist between projects in the same or different
       segments (e.g., a Water Quality Management project may impact a project in Land Quality
       Management).
                                             1-3

-------
 EPA Enterprise Transition Plan 2009
    •   Projects have a primary assignment to one segment, but can have multiple secondary segment
       assignments as well. Segment reporting focuses on the projects with primary assignment to
       each segment.  As EPA develops its segment architectures, more will be able to be said about
       the transition efforts by each segment.
    •   The term 'investment' in this document refers to an EPA IT-project that is slated to receive
       funding for current year 2009 (CY 2009). This document includes only those investments listed
       in EPA's Exhibit 53.

 1.5   Scope

The scope of the ETP is focused on all CPIC Major and Non-Major IT projects receiving funding for CY
2009. In January 2009, EPA restructured their architecture segments to better align to the Agency's
strategic goals. As segments mature, continue to develop their architectures, and are formally
approved, the ETP will evolve to include segment maturity. These segments are further described in the
next chapter.

                          2.  Segment Architecture at EPA
EPA has segmented the Agency's functions into manageable conceptual groups in order to effectively
conduct the enterprise target activities.  The identification and development of segments at EPA is part
of a strategic effort geared towards moving EPA from a traditional program office (federated) viewpoint
to a more holistic view emphasizing segments whose focus is on identifying, consolidating, and
reusing/sharing common processes, technology, and services across the Agency. EPA segments are
generally aligned to the Agency's core mission, business, or enterprise services. Segments are
comprised of highly interconnected business areas or a set of cross-cutting services/systems used
throughout the Agency.

EPA's segments as defined in the 2008 TS&SP were revisited and, on the recommendation of EPA's CIO,
were reorganized around the EPA Strategic Plan.  Redundant segments were eliminated and a number
of cross-cutting segments were identified. The new list of 14 segments was approved by the Information
Investment Sub-Committee (IIS) and enables EPA to be consistent with  cross-federal efforts.

The Agency is taking a structured approach to segment reporting through the use of segment templates.
All segments are completing segment reports based on their maturity level (Notional, Planned, In-
Progress, and Complete).

Based on OMB suggested guidance3, EPA has classified the segments into three main categories: Core
Mission, Business Service, and Enterprise Service  (Figure 2-1: EPA Identified Segments):

   •   Core Mission Segments - These segments represent the Agency's unique service areas defining
       the mission or purpose of EPA (environmental and health protection) and align to the FEA BRM
       (services for citizens).
   •   Business Service Segments - These segments define the common or shared business services
       supporting core  mission segments at EPA, and align to the FEA  BRM (mode of delivery, support
       delivery of services, management of government resources).
   •   Enterprise Service Segments - These segments define EPA's common or shared IT and
       administrative services supporting core mission and business service segments and align to the
       FEASRM.

 2.1  Segment Prioritization

Starting in 2007, the EA Program began identifying criteria for prioritizing segments and began
discussions with the IIS. In 2009, EPA gathered input from OMB feedback, internal discussions, and
external drivers, which led to the reorganization of the segments. With 14 segments identified, the EA
Program began developing a structured yet subjective process for prioritizing segment efforts.

Against Criteria
In order to define which segments should be deemed high priority, criteria were developed from a
number of angles. Strategic concerns, interdependencies between segments, funding and their
respective solutions, and investment portfolio impacts were all taken into account. Objective criteria
were developed based on IIS feedback from the previous prioritization discussions, input from  EAWG
meetings, guidance from OMB, OEI enterprise priorities, EA Team insight, and availability of data to
support the proposed criteria. Criteria were grouped into four main categories:
                                              2-4

The EA Team populated a matrix with the criteria findings for the 14 segments and sent it to key EA
stakeholders. Several forums were established to gather stakeholder feedback on the prioritization
matrix, including a briefing at the monthly EAWG session and an online discussion forum. In order to
ensure that EA decisions and priorities are not imposed from a limited field of vision, consensus from
the IIS, EAWG,  OEI Management, and Segment Owners was established.

Following the feedback period, the team will identify the segments that appear to have more reasons
for being priority and will present the criteria to the IIS to determine segment prioritization.  The CIO will
approve the segment's prioritization criteria and facilitate the decision making process.

Progress will continue on all segment fronts in the upcoming year. Development of the newly
benchmarked IT Infrastructure Management, Information Sharing, and Financial Management segments
will continue and the rest of the in-progress segments will continue to be actively developed,
independent of the priorities that are discovered. Training will  be held in September 2009 for all
segment owners to focus on communicating effective use of the Federal Segment Architecture
Methodology (FSAM).

 2.2  Aligning of Transition Strategy Projects to Target Architecture

Table 2-3: Alignment of Enterprise Transition Plan Projects to Target through EPA Segments and the
Agency IT Portfolio provides both a segment and investment portfolio view of all  IT projects (within the
TS&SP scope) currently ongoing that are moving EPA toward its target EA. A line of sight can be seen
between these projects and the Agency's IT portfolio (via DPI codes from the Exhibit 53 in the table
below).

                            3.  EPA's Target Architecture
In 2002, formal documentation of the Agency's target architecture was developed and in 2009, it has
been refreshed and sharpened to provide a straightforward, tangible target towards which segment and
solution owners should build.

EPA's Target Architecture is a strategic framework that enables EPA's enterprise processes, functions,
and services to meet the demands of current and future business needs without sacrificing the Agency's
position as a leader in environmental management. It establishes a target state vision for the enterprise
that can be easily cascaded to the operational levels, such as defined segments and associated
programs/investments. The overall target's vision will enable better alignment with high-level strategic
objectives and programs/investments. In addition, the target architecture provides a common
framework for business, segments, investments, and others to develop their architectures and be
confident their work will  help the Agency make progress toward its vision.

The key element of EPA's target architecture is a focus on identifying common processes, services, and
technology that may have once been duplicated  across multiple organizations.  A major goal for EPA is
to use the EA practice to  identify segments within the organization which could serve as candidates for
service sharing and reuse, thus allowing for the optimization of the Agency's IT infrastructure. As EPA
seeks to modernize, ensuring that the IT directly supports the business in a cost-effective manner, is key
to achieving cost-savings.

              Example relationships between elements in the target architecture
Figure 3-1 above illustrates the interrelationships between all the layers of EPA's target architecture:
Strategic, Performance, Business, Services, Technology, and Data.  The arrows in the diagram convey
the relationships between the various elements of the target architecture; for example, metrics are used
to measure performance but also serve as a type of data asset, services provide data through interfaces
and both services and data are housed on technology platforms, and so on.

People (and groups and organizations) are the joining forces in EPA's Target Architecture and technology
is shifting to put the person first4. Their needs and actions affect all layers  and parts of the Agency's
architectural framework. The line of sight from the people perspective communicates the complex
interdependencies between people and the business areas, technical tools, and common services of the
Agency.  People, groups and organizations have goals (strategic layer), do work (business layer) and are
measured (performance layer).  They also request, generate and change information (data layer) that is
enabled through common services (services layer) supported by technology (technology layer).

                       4.  EPA's Target Transition Activities
EPA is making many strides in transitioning to its target architecture environment. As the Agency
refreshes its target architecture to align with new strategic priorities, transition activities are also being
refreshed to emphasize outcome-focused results.  EPA aligned its transition goals with the priorities
outlined in OMB's EA Assessment Framework v3.0. This section details the specific activities being taken
to achieve EPA's transition goals, as depicted in Table 4-1 below.

4.5 Modernizing EPA's Technology Infrastructure
4.6 Advancing EPA's Target Data Architecture
4.7 Cross-Agency Information Sharing Initiatives
 4.1  Enhancing EPA's Target Performance Architecture
An effective performance measurement architecture is critical to the implementation of an EPA
outcome driven and service-IT centric target architecture. For example, EPA's target performance
architecture can inform about what progress service oriented architecture initiatives are making
towards building new projects, programs, and enterprise capabilities that solve real business problems
agilely while helping EPA to migrate towards the desired target architecture.  Also, if key EA
performance indicators and measurable benefits are monitored / captured to inform EPA executives
about critical performance improvement goals that are being met or missed, this would facilitate
improved and informed decisions making. Towards this end, the EA Program will work with key partners
to facilitate identification and leverage meaningful metrics that monitor progress and link performance
driven outcomes back to the investment, data, service, business, program, and segment layers.
Specifically, EPA will leverage ongoing efforts for maturing segments and for promoting development of
clear segment-centric performance outcome milestones and outcome driven performance measures
linked to IT enabling investments.

As of May 2009, EPA has updated its target performance architecture to better align with the
Performance Reference Model, as well as to provide a more useful guide for segment owners in
designing appropriate performance management strategies for their segment activities.  In addition to
refreshing the target performance architecture, EPA is undertaking several activities to further establish
performance objectives.  The Agency is currently updating its Strategic Plan, which includes strategic
initiatives to improve performance management and align EPA goals with strategic outcomes to
                                             4-1

 EPA Enterprise Transition Plan 2009
measure performance.  Segments are moving towards developing milestones that focus on
performance and outcomes, which is expected to facilitate EPA alignment of performance goals at the
Agency, segment, and investment level.  In addition, all Planned and In-Progress segments completed a
performance portion of their segment template which includes performance metrics that address
strategic, segment, program and business performance. These segment templates are included in EPA's
submission package.

 4.2  Moving Toward a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA)
As mission needs dictate change, one key strategy to move EPA towards the target EA is by enabling
service reuse among IT systems across segments.  Existing shared services are  provided by a suite of
Enterprise Tools and Services (Table 4-2 below) intended to reduce duplicative business functions and
processes across the Agency's architecture, allow for more seamless, secure exchanges of data, and
increase information sharing between EPA and its partners. EPA has defined an approach to leveraging
service reuse throughout the Agency, which consists of 1) establishing an application/service component
architecture of interdependent functions; 2) defining and deploying a suite of enterprise services; and 3)
continuing to transition toward a service-oriented enabling Agency.  Table 4-1 EPA Planned SOA
Activities below provides a high-level  overview of planned SOA activities at EPA.

EPA is progressing towards full SOA implementation with the creation of an enterprise service catalog
intended to define and categorize services to achieve improved cost-savings and operational efficiency.
The enterprise service catalog is contained in the Service Layer chapter of EPA's Target Architecture 3.0,
which was developed using a bottoms-up approach to defining services both currently in use and
needed to support the business needs of the Agency. Through this exercise, EPA has begun to identify
common business application service areas used across segments as an  initial step in achieving the goal
of saving money and avoiding redundant costs.

 EPA Enterprise Transition Plan 2009
EPA is also progressing toward a service-oriented target architecture using a suite of Enterprise Tools
and Services. These Enterprise Tools and Services offer segments the benefits of streamlined data
exchange and application integration without the need to develop and maintain costly, customized
solutions.  Enterprise Tools and Services are represented in the enterprise service catalog and form the
foundation of EPA's target architecture.

                                BIA tools and applications
As EPA continues to transition to our target architecture, Enterprise Tools and Services will play a key
role in implementing our transition plan. EPA will employ a three-pronged approach, depicted below in
Figure 4-3, to enhance and enable Enterprise Tools and Services to further develop a service-oriented
environment.

                      Figure 4-3: EPA Strategy for Expanding Enterprise Tools and Services
                                            Strategy for

Using this approach, EPA's services architecture can be flexible and adapt to the changing business
needs of the Agency.  If new business needs emerge, or existing business needs dictate, EPA can define
new Enterprise Tools and Services to meet changing demand. As appropriate, EPA will elevate
functionality available in existing applications to the enterprise tool/service level to continue to
eliminate redundant system development expenditures.  EPA is also working to ensure existing
Enterprise Tools and Services are  easy for segments to access and interface with their business
applications by enhancing enterprise service offerings.

 EPA Enterprise Transition Plan 2009
 4.3  Enterprise Licensing
EPA is also addressing the common needs of its important data consumers (e.g., the geospatial
communities) by leveraging the benefits of enterprise licensing agreements (ELA). Through the use of
these ELAs, EPA is experiencing the following:

   •  Reduced costs by establishing multi-year "Enterprise" contracts
   •  Reduced burden by consolidating procurements
   •  Enhanced service offerings
   •  One Stop Customer Service
In addition, ELAs are currently helping EPA's business by enhancing analytical expertise, responding in
emergencies, improving data quality, and enhancing enforcement. Currently, EPA maintains a variety of
ELAs with several leading information software providers including those that directly support the
implementation of several of its Enterprise Tools and Services.

 4.4  Integrating EPA's EA with E-Government (e-Gov) and Line of Business
       (LoB) Initiatives
The Federal Transition Framework (FTF) is a way for agencies to define and incorporate the numerous e-
Gov/LoB cross-agency initiatives, shared services, and/or standards, defined by OMB, into their EA. In
keeping with EPA's target EA focus of service reuse, the Agency has incorporated relevant e-Gov and  LoB
initiatives into its EA, in an effort to adopt externally hosted, cost-effective solutions and services that
can be leveraged Agency-wide.

In support of moving toward a federal shared service center/line of business environment, EPA,
beginning in 2010, is preparing to undertake three significant moves.  PeoplePlus, the Agency's time and
attendance system will be moving to an external  system hosted at a shared service center in the Human
Resources Line of Business (HRLoB). With this move, all of the Agency's HR processing will be moving
off-site. In addition, EPA will also be moving an internal grants management system to the Grants
Management Line of Business (GMLoB), which is  hosted at the Department of Health and Human
Services.  Finally, EPA is in the process to update its financial management system and the current
system design plans have identify and contracted with  external hosting provider. All of the activities
discussed above are aimed at moving EPA toward a target environment where services (via applications)
can be effectively reused across multiple segments, thus providing the desired functionality without the
need for custom development and costly maintenance of IT solutions.

According to current plans, these projects and associated IT resources will be hosted and managed by
three different service providers and organizations.  As federal agencies migrate their mostly internal IT
systems and resources to external, consolidated service providers through the various e-Gov and LoB
initiatives, these agencies will continue to need access  to their data and create reports to manage their
financial, grant, and acquisition processes. Many of these management reports will require the
integration of data between these three administrative areas. As the project plans exist today, federal

                                             4-3

-------
 EPA Enterprise Transition Plan 2009
agencies would import data from each LoB or e-Gov provider and internally integrate the data to
produce the necessary reports. As these government-wide initiatives mature, the e-Gov and LoB service
providers could work together to integrate data and produce needed reports at the federal level,
thereby reducing the workload of individual federal agencies to produce these reports themselves.

Table 4-3: EPA Implementation of Federal E-Government and Line of Business Initiatives provides a cross-
walk between e-Gov/LoB initiatives and the primary investment(s) within the Agency's portfolio which
supports these initiatives.

 4.5  Modernizing EPA's Technology Infrastructure
The technology layer of EPA's next generation target architecture focuses on providing a reliable and
highly-available technology infrastructure. Through the use of emerging technologies, our technology
investment portfolio is creating a strong backbone for our infrastructure that supports EPA's main
business functions.

Improvements in Infrastructure Efficiency

EPA continuously seeks to enhance its IT infrastructure to take advantage of the best in emerging
technologies to support the needs of agency segments, investments, and user constituents while
maintaining its enterprise approach to technology management. An efficiently managed IT
infrastructure enables EPA's technology and business investments to improve cost and schedule
performance and focus on outcome-based achievements to enhance the quality of the Agency's IT
portfolio.

EPA's current focus is to reduce centralized application hosting costs and improve hosting agility and
responsiveness through standardization, virtualization, and consolidation of servers and storage. EPA is
also streamlining the management of desktop computing resources through enterprise desktop
provisioning and management services, which allows the Agency to standardize desktop configurations
and management practices to yield significant cost savings and resource efficiency.
                                              4-5

-------
 EPA Enterprise Transition Plan 2009
Infrastructure Enhancements

EPA is focused on enhancing the Agency's IT infrastructure to improve both technology performance
and security. The target technology architecture includes a significant increase in WAN capacity,
acquired through the GSA Networx contract.  EPA will also leverage Trusted Internet Connection (TIC)
compliant internet connectivity to improve WAN security.  By June 2009, EPA will have implemented a
second trusted internet connection for the Agency. This is the core milestone of EPA's TIC planning.

EPA's target technology architecture also includes plans to enhance infrastructure capability by
leveraging emerging technologies in the areas of collaboration, communication, and content
infrastructure.  EPA's scientific and  regulatory mission, its need to convey information on human health
and the environment, and its commitment to transparency and openness in conducting its operations
make excellent collaboration a high Agency priority.

Interoperability with Future Technologies

EPA is working diligently to meet all OMB mandated requirements to migrate to Internet Protocol
version 6 (IPv6) and has developed  a design that can bi-directionally pass traffic via the "core" (WAN).
With this design, the Agency's IT infrastructure is being tested to take advantage of this emerging
technology through the use of its National Computing Center (NCC) at Research Triangle Park, NC, its
"Core WAN", and a regional office (Region 8 in Denver, CO).

For this IPv6 modernization, EPA has created and submitted to OMB its IPv6 Production Test Plan. This
test plan documents 13 detailed tests that will be performed in order to verify the success of the IPv6
implementation. EPA has met its significant IPv6 milestones and is continuing its migration towards
implementation of IPv6.

 4.6  Advancing EPA's Target Data Architecture

Efforts to advance EPA's Target Data Architecture are built on the desired ability to answer three core
questions:

   •  What data exists?
   •  What does the data mean?
   •   How/where can one access the data?

Focusing on implementing data management best  practices to  manage  the Agency's core data is a
critical  component of transitioning to EPA's Target Data Architecture.  Using enterprise data exchange
approaches, EPA will focus on improving the accuracy and availability of data to critical users and
processes to continue transitioning to the target data sharing environment. The goals of the target data
architecture continue to complement the Enterprise Architecture by:

   •   Helping stakeholders to find data quickly and easily;
   •   Fostering consistent quantitative and qualitative information about the data;

                                             4-6

-------
  EPA Enterprise Transition Plan 2009
     •  Fostering a higher degree of collaboration between an organization and its constituents, and;
     •  Optimizing return on investment by managing data in an effective and transparent manner.
 As data becomes an essential asset for EPA, it is essential that core data critical to the agency's mission
 is recorded and managed in a consistent way. This includes developing metadata records of the data
 asset so as to optimize the effectiveness of data discovery tools such as EPA's GeoData Gateway (GDG),
 and DataFinder search tools.

 Specific activities in process and/or envisioned on the near horizon to support the transition to the
 Target Data Architecture include:

     •  The development and implementation of an Enterprise Metadata Framework.
     •  The acquisition and  implementation of a  data asset repository.
     •  The development of an Enterprise Data Policy.

      — -,	
 The development of an Enterprise Metadata Framework, paired with Agency technology resources,
 enable EPA's data sharing and management infrastructure to support the performance goals and
 outcomes of the Agency's enterprise target architecture as well as EPA's strategic goals and outcomes.

 The acquisition and implementation of an enterprise data asset repository supports the vision of having
 a central registry to discover data assets.  Work is currently underway in the Office of Information
 Collection evaluating tools specializing in asset repositories for use in the Reusable Component services
 registry.

 The development and adoption of an enterprise data policy offers a governance mechanism to bind
 together many of the existing policies and procedures in place dealing with managing the Agency's data
 assets.  In addition, the enterprise data policy would serve as a codifying tool to mainstream key
 requirements of the federal community such as the development of metadata records for Data.Gov.
                                               4-7

-------
Data.gov Involvement

EPA has taken a leadership role in the development and implementation of the Federal Data.Gov
initiative,5 serving as a co-chair of the initiative. EPA is continually committed to innovation,
collaboration, and transparency in data sharing, and our participation in this critical initiative illustrates
our focus on information priorities.

 4.7  Cross-Agency Information Sharing Initiatives
In addition to participating in all e-Gov/LoB initiatives,  EPA has also focused significant resources on
developing and managing three initiatives for which it  serves as a federal service provider. EPA is a host
of the Information Security Certification and Accreditation (C&A) initiative, as well as the e-Gov initiative
and Federal Docket Management System, and the premier information sharing initiative, the National
Environmental Information Exchange Network.

National Environmental Information Exchange Network (Exchange Network)

EPA has long been a champion of helping to develop and promote information sharing tools and
solutions across the federal government. As far back as 1998, EPA was involved in developing
information sharing capabilities, as the Agency formed the Information Management Work Group
(IMWG), which created a design blueprint that demonstrated how a National Environmental Exchange
Network could share and exchange environmental information in a more effective and efficient manner.
This blueprint led to the Exchange Network becoming operational in 2003. The tool is an Internet-based
approach for exchanging environmental data among partners (e.g., EPA, states, tribes and territories,
federal agencies) and it is built on the principles of applying data standards; providing secure, real-time
access; and electronically collecting and storing accurate information.  The Exchange Network enables
participants to control and manage their own data while making it available to partners via requests
over a secure Internet connection. By facilitating the efficient exchange of environmental information
among interested parties at all levels of government, the Exchange Network has begun to transform the
way information is shared and  has allowed EPA and its partners to save time and resources on
environmental reporting by ensuring timely, high-quality data exchanges.

eRulemaking

EPA hosts the eRulemaking initiative, which mandates that agencies make their regulatory docket
information accessible and searchable to the public using the Federal Docket Management System
(FDMS) (second generation of Regulations.gov web site).  This improves citizen access to, participation
in, and understanding of the Federal rulemaking process, as well as improving the Agency's (Federal
wide) efficiency and effectiveness in developing rulemakings. This project consolidates electronic
rulemaking systems and paper-based processes across the various federal departments and agencies
into a centrally managed Web-based application easily accessible by all users.
5 As stated in a Memorandum from Linda Travers, Acting Assistant Administrator in EPA's Office of Environmental
Information, issued on May 5, 2009.

                                             4-8

-------
 EPA Enterprise Transition Plan 2009
Regulations.gov serves as a trusted source of federal information providing the public with easy, one-
stop access to all posted agency information. Through June 30, 2007, the Regulations.gov web site has
received over 108 million hits, provided over 40 million page views, and accepted over 53,000 electronic
public comments. Over 3,000 federal users representing 113 federal agencies have used FDMS to post
Proposed Rules, Federal Register Notices, and supporting analysis documents. This access has
revolutionized the way the federal government writes rules, solicits comments, and involves the public
in its decision-making by moving from paper-based processes to new innovative processes leading to
more efficient interactions between the federal government and the public it serves.

Automated System Security Evaluation and Remediation Tracking (ASSERT)
In February 2007, EPA was officially designated by the Department of Homeland Security and OMB as a
Federal Shared Service Center to offer ASSERT as a FISMA Reporting Solution under the Information
System Security Line of Business (ISSLOB). The following federal agencies have selected EPA as their
FISMA Reporting Solution provider:  General Services Administration (GSA), Social Security
Administration (SSA), the U.S. Departments of Agriculture (USDA) and Housing and Urban Development
(HUD), Small Business Administration (SBA), Export-Import Bank, and Pension Benefit Guarantee
Corporation (PBGC).

EPA is a leading partner in offering reusable information security solutions to other federal agencies.  In
an effort to streamline the FISMA reporting process, EPA has developed the ASSERT system. ASSERT
provides federal managers with the type of reports and information needed to help agencies protect
their critical cyber infrastructure and promote protection of privacy information. It helps agencies
better understand and assess their security risks, monitor corrective actions, and provide standardized
and automated FISMA reports.  Most importantly, ASSERT provides Agency senior managers the
information they need, from an enterprise perspective, to make timely and informed decisions
regarding the level of security implemented on their information resources. ASSERT is revolutionary
because it builds the concept of "risk assessment" into the traditional system life cycle. It helps system
owners and management officials better understand the risks systems face, the security controls
necessary to address these risks, how systems interconnect, and current information on the status of
any remediation activities being undertaken to strengthen the security on the information system. It
should be noted that while EPA is a certification and accreditation host for the ISS LoB, the Agency
participates in security and awareness training via services provided by the Department of State and
USAID.

                                      5.  Sequencing Plan
 Critical to the execution of EPA's target architecture is the commitment of segments and investments in
 continually progressing toward the shared target goal. To support this commitment, EPA projects
 routinely identify and update key milestones and activities being undertaken to move EPA towards its
 target architecture.  These milestones and activities are consolidated into EPA's Sequencing Plan, a key
 component of the Enterprise Transition  Plan, which lists planned milestone completion dates and critical
 dependencies in EPA's business transformation.
 For 2009, EPA's Sequencing Plan is presented at the segment level. As inputs to this process, segments
 reported milestones and dependencies that focus on segment performance and strategic outcomes.
 These milestones are in addition to those reported at the investment level annually during the CPIC
 process; CPIC milestones are not included in this iteration of the Sequencing Plan.  Figure 5-1 below
 presents a summary view of segment milestone timelines.
