Articulate FEA Value and Build Trust with EA Partners Evolve the FEA to Drive Results A major contribution of the FEA Practice is the identification and design of common, shared business processes and information technology within and across the Federal government. Using the FEA, OMB examined agency EA data and identified five major collaborative initiatives to transform the government, improve services to citizens, and deliver substantial savings. Launched in February 2004, these opportunities, known as the Lines of Business (LoB) initiatives (in the areas of Financial Management, Human Resources Management, Grants Management, Case Management, and Federal Health Architecture ), used EA principles to identify common solutions, develop solution architectures, and break down traditional agency silos. These initiatives are projected to save in excess of $5 billion over the next ten years. Moving forward, OMB will advance these initiatives by using the FEA to identify additional collaborative opportunities, and support agency migration to, and utilization of, E-Government initiatives, LoBs and SmartBUY. Today, members outside the EA community (i.e., business managers and senior decision makers) do not easily understand the technical workings and various components/levels of the FEA. As a result, agency EA practices are often not fully institutionalized within an agency to effectively inform decision-making and impact mission/program results. The FEA PMO will work closely with agencies to ensure steady progress is made in their EA programs. Emphasis will be placed on driving the adoption and utilization of the FEA through execution. The FEA PMO will provide guidance to assist agencies in maturing their EAs to ensure they achieve measurable mission and business results. In addition, the FEA PMO will evolve the EA assessment tool to emphasize EA use by incorporating specific EA transition planning guidelines. The revised EA assessment tool will be used as an instrument for educating agencies’ enterprise architects on making EAs executable. Agencies making effective use of EA will see noticeable improvements in their EA assessment reflected in their PMA scorecard. Refinement of the EA assessment tool will occur in a phased approach to ensure consistency and to enable agencies to prepare properly for the changes. Version 1.5: To support PMA scorecard review, minor changes will be made to the current EA assessment tool, such as clarifying definitions and criteria and updating instructions to agencies on how to meet each criterion. Version 2: Version 2 of the EA assessment tool will consist of significant changes. These changes may include revising the categories, revamping the criteria, and redefining the achievement levels. There will also be an increased focus on EA use. Because more time is needed to develop version 2, its development will begin in parallel with version 1.5.The FEA PMO will collaborate with the AIC and other key stakeholders to review and vet the revised EA assessment tool to ensure it adequately addresses identified gaps and secures buy-in from stakeholders. In addition, the FEA PMO will coordinate with the Government Accountability Office (GAO) on how both organizations can collaborate efficiently and effectively. It is important to measure the progress and performance of various FEA strategic initiatives outlined in this strategy. To ensure that the Federal government uses EA to make progress towards its PMA goals, the FEA PMO will institute a performance measurement system that provides feedback on its performance against a set of key metrics. The FEA PMO will use a number of data sources and measurement methodologies to gather the necessary information to demonstrate agency adoption, utilization and execution of the enterprise architecture discipline. Metrics will focus on areas such as: New cross-agency opportunities analyzed, identified, assessed and launched; Agency case studies demonstrating measurable results; Agency EA with integrated IT Security, Geospatial and Records Management architectures and implementations; Improved quality of budget submissions; Increased cross-agency budget submissions; Improved agency EA assessment scores; Improved agency EA transition planning (resulting in a portfolio of projects in the budget submissions); Increased use of FEA collaboration tools; Increased projects with collaboration between business and IT staffs realizing the FEA value proposition; and Improved EA practice capability and skill sets with in the FEA community. http://xml.gov/stratml/drybridge/FEABRM.xml Federal Enterprise Architecture Business Reference Model FEA BRM Creating, expanding, or improving community and social development, social relationships, and social services in the United States Protect and advance U.S. national interests and, if deterrence fails, decisively defeat threats to those interests.

Joint forces help to secure the United States from direct attack through military activities overseas, planning and execution of homeland defense and support to civil authorities. Our experience in the WOT reinforces the fact that protecting the Nation and its global interests requires more than passive defensive measures. The threats posed by terrorist groups and rogue states, especially those that gain access to WMD/E, mandate an active defense-in-depth. Achieving this objective requires actions to counter threats overseas and close to their source; to secure our air, sea, space and land territorial approaches; and at home to defend against direct attacks. When directed, the Armed Forces provide military support to civil authorities, including capabilities to manage the consequences of an attack. dcError: Required content not provided The United States must prevent conflict and surprise attacks through actions that deter aggression and coercion while retaining the capability to act promptly in defending the nation. Preventing conflict and deterring aggression rely in large part on an integrated overseas presence. Overseas, US forces permanently based in strategically important areas, rotationally deployed forward in support of regional objectives, and temporarily deployed during contingencies convey a credible message that the United States remains committed to preventing conflict. These forces also clearly demonstrate that the United States will react forcefully should an adversary threaten the United States, its interests, allies and partners. The United States must remain vigilant in identifying conditions that can lead to conflict in anticipating adversary actions and in reacting more swiftly than in the past. The Joint Force will deploy forward with a purpose – on the ground, in the air, in space and at sea – and work with other nations to promote security and to deter aggression. Preventing conflict and surprise attacks requires that the Armed Forces take action to ensure strategic access, establish favorable security conditions and work to increase the capabilities of partners to protect common security interests. When necessary, the Armed Forces will defeat adversaries. Developments in the security environment necessitate a Joint Force that can achieve tactical and operational success and prevail in a manner that establishes favorable security conditions and ensures enduring victories. Terrorist attacks demonstrate that conflict is not limited to geographic borders and that defeating root causes of terrorism requires a total national effort. The United States will constantly strive to enlist the support of the international community and increase the capabilities of partners to contend with common challenges, but will not hesitate to act alone, if necessary. http://xml.gov/stratml/drybridge/USACEstratplan.xml U.S. Army Corps of Engineers USACE Provide sustainable development and integrated management of the Nation’s water resources.

To improve such a system, the most potent strategy for change is cultural change. Therefore, through the effective implementation of the No Child Left Behind Act, we will create a culture characterized by accountability for results, flexibility and local control, expanded parental options, and the use of instructional practices based on scientific research; and we will embed these principles in programs and activities throughout the Department. In education, the bottom line is student learning. As a result of the hard work of students, educators, parents, and leaders at the state and local levels, American students will dramatically improve their achievement in reading, mathematics and science, while receiving a rich, well-rounded education. The Department will lead a national campaign to ensure that every child is reading at grade level by third grade. Pre-school and elementary school teachers throughout the nation will receive training in the proven components of effective early reading instruction. To ensure that students become proficient in mathematics and science, the Department will establish a broad collaboration of school districts, colleges and universities, and research institutions to improve the quality of instruction. The Department will lead a campaign to improve the rigor of the high school curriculum and to design new options for adolescent students. Because student achievement is dependent upon the effort of well-prepared teachers and school leaders, the Department will establish initiatives to ensure that the supply of highquality teachers and principals meets demand. The terrorist attacks have created a new environment in which we must ensure that our children are safe from threats both foreign and domestic. The Department will work to maintain a safe and drug-free environment in which every child can learn. In addition, as the president has said, “Teaching is more than training, and learning is more than literacy. Our children must be educated in reading and writing—but also in right and wrong.” He quoted Martin Luther King, Jr., who said “Intelligence plus character—that is the true goal of education.” We will focus the nation’s education system on our children’s hearts, as well as their minds. Unlike medicine, agriculture and industrial production, the field of education operates largely on the basis of ideology and professional consensus. As such, it is subject to fads and is incapable of the cumulative progress that follows from the application of the scientific method and from the systematic collection and use of objective information in policy making. We will change education to make it an evidence-based field. We will accomplish this goal by dramatically improving the quality and relevance of research funded or conducted by the Department. Also, we will provide policymakers, educators, parents, and other concerned citizens with ready access to syntheses of research and objective information that allow more informed and effective decisions, and we will encourage the use of this knowledge (especially within federal education programs, as explained in Objective 1.4). The Department provides support for enhancing the quality of and access to postsecondary and adult education and employment in multiple ways. The Department’s programs provide financial aid to increase access to college; help institutions of higher education improve their quality; provide mentoring and tutoring services to help students master the knowledge needed to get into and complete college; inform middle and high school students about what it takes to go to college; provide needed support to help people with disabilities achieve employment; and provide support to adults in meeting more basic educational needs. The Department will work to improve the effectiveness of all institutions, including four-year schools, community colleges, technology-based programs and others. In order to create a culture of achievement throughout the nation’s educational system, we must first create a culture of accountability within the Department. We will do so by aggressively implementing the President’s Management Agenda, including his initiative on community- and faith-based organizations. Through our work to create a culture of accountability and establish management excellence, we will earn the President’s Quality Award. http://xml.gov/stratml/drybridge/DOEstratplan.xml Department of Energy DOE Promoting America’s energy security through reliable, clean, and affordable energy Ensuring America’s nuclear security Strengthening U.S. scientific discovery, economic competitiveness, and improving quality of life through innovations in science and technology Protecting the environment by providing a responsible resolution to the environmental legacy of nuclear weapons production Enabling the mission through sound management http://xml.gov/stratml/drybridge/DOEIRMstratplan.xml Office of the Chief Information Officer, Department of Energy DOE/CIO Revitalize Cyber Security across the Department of Energy Use Information Technology to improve mission accomplishment, at lowest cost http://xml.gov/stratml/drybridge/DOEERStratPlan.xml Office of Science, Department of Energy Provide the scientific knowledge and tools to achieve energy independence, securing U.S. leadership and essential breakthroughs in basic energy sciences.

CDT opposes government censorship and other threats to the free flow of information. Putting into practice its user empowerment vision of the Internet, CDT helped develop GetNetWise.org, a Web resource giving families ready access to tools for protecting children online. As Internet users surf the Net, they leave behind a trail of personal information that can be captured and used in ways they often can't control and don't even understand. CDT seeks to develop policy solutions and technology tools that empower users and enhance privacy online. The Fourth Amendment's protections against unreasonable searches should extend to the Internet as well as the home. CDT supports the right to use strong encryption, opposes government design mandates that expand wiretap capabilities, and advocates for stronger legal standards controlling government monitoring to keep pace with the growing exposure of personal information. Acting as a catalyst for greater interaction between policy makers and the Internet community, CDT is helping to create new avenues for citizen participation in the democratic process. CDT's Web site, online resources and policy newsletters have become models for Internet activism. CDT believes in the power of broad coalitions. CDT organized the Citizens Internet Empowerment Coalition (CIEC), a diverse group of Internet users, librarians, publishers, online service providers and civil liberties groups fighting for the future of free speech in the information age. CIEC was a successful plaintiff in the U.S. Supreme Court case declaring the Communications Decency Act unconstitutional. To educate the public about current policy issues, CDT provides user-friendly Web resources such as the "CDT Guide to Online Privacy," the "CDT Privacy Quiz," Policy Post newsletters, and an updated guide to "Legislation Affecting the Internet." Working through the Congressional Internet Caucus and the Internet Education Foundation, CDT educates Members of Congress on Internet issues. CDT assembled eleven of the world's leading cryptographers to examine the risks of systems that would give the government access to private encryption keys. Their report, "The Risks of Key Recovery, Key Escrow, and Trusted Third Party Encryption," proved highly influential. Another ad hoc group convened by CDT produced for the Federal Trade Commission a report on unsolicited commercial email. Working through the Internet standards setting processes, CDT plays a leading role in ensuring that civil liberties values are reflected in computer code. One of these standards, the Platform for Privacy Preferences (P3P), gives Net surfers greater control over their personal information. CDT promotes greater openness and public representation in ICANN, the global domain names management group, and the Internet's other technical bodies. CDT is a respected voice for Internet users at Federal agencies. CDT's efforts at the Federal Communications Commission led to a broad inquiry into the privacy risks posed by government wiretapping of packet networks. At the Federal Trade Commission, CDT is pressing for effective data privacy rights for online commerce. CDT has revolutionized civic involvement through grassroots advocacy using the Internet. The "Adopt Your Legislator" program offers netizens new opportunities to make their voices heard in Washington. The "Privacy Watchdog" encourages consumers to examine online privacy polices and communicate their opinions to e-commerce businesses. CDT's "Action" page generates informed public participation in the policy process, such as comments to the Federal Election Commission regarding political advocacy online. CDT coordinates a series of working groups in the areas of online privacy, digital security, and free expression. The working groups offer a forum for communications service providers, computer hardware and software producers, content providers, consumer and privacy advocates, and other non-profits to exchange information and build consensus around balanced solutions to policy problems. A global medium requires global activism. CDT's efforts have included a major report on Internet free expression under human rights law, a survey of policies affecting Internet access in Central and Eastern Europe, and advocacy for broader public interest representation in the global domain names election process. http://xml.gov/stratml/drybridge/CIMIT.xml Center for Integration of Medicine & Innovative Technology CIMIT Contribute to the ongoing missions of our academic medical centers by integrating the solution-rich environment of engineering and science centers with the problem-rich environment of our clinical stakeholders, and deliverying meaningful results.

Anyone may identify an ET component or specification. Government employees and others subscribe to components and specifications of interest to them, thereby forming communities of practice (CoPs) around them. The ET Subcommittee accepts stewardship of components for which sufficient interest exists, as evidenced by the CoPs forming around them. The technical viability and utility of ET components are demonstrated, whereupon they become candidates for use by agencies and multi-agency CoPs (e.g. eGov projects & Lines of Business) and perhaps for inclusion in CORE.gov for Governmentwide access. Funding for governmentwide components may be requested in the President's budget or individual agencies may allocate existing funding to them. Components are acquired for use in government applications. Components are maintained throughout their life cycles.
