Supplemental EA Segment Architecture Analysis

1. Supplemental EA Segment Architecture Analysis June 21, 2007

2. Suggested Response to New Exhibit 300 Question Exhibit 300: • Q F3. Is this investment identified in a completed (contains a target architecture) and approved segment architecture? Yes No a. If “yes,” provide the name of the segment architecture. • ASSESSMENT: • Land Quality Management is the only completed and approved segment architecture • RECOMMENDATION FOR EPA RESPONSE: • SDMS, eManifest, and CERCLIS answer ‘Yes’ • All other investments answer ‘No’

3. Suggested Response to New Exhibit 53 Question Exhibit 53: • Segment Architecture represents the status of the investment's alignment to the agencies segment architecture process. The following options are available: (1) - This investment is identified as supporting an approved, complete segment architecture (2) - This investment is part of an incomplete or in-process segment architecture (3) - This investment is part of a planned, but yet to be initiated, segment architecture • ASSESSMENT: • Only Land Quality Management investments identified as “supporting anapproved segment” (Tier 1) • RECOMMENDATION ON EPA RESPONSE: • The 8 segments documenting baseline architectures are “Incomplete or in-process segments” (Tier 2) • All other investments are ‘yet to be initiatedsegments” (Tier 3)

4. BY 2009 IT Portfolio EA Compliance Review • Compliance criteria the same as BY 2008 for most investments (blue text) • Second tier solution architecture requirements (green text) for: • CPIC Major investments in Planning/Development(several have been waived due to nature of investment) • Enterprise Tools investments • ‘Significant’ CPIC Lites in Planning/Development

5. Solution Architecture Criteria • Why • Criteria focuses the investment’s contribution to the overall portfolio • How well does the investment further the progress of the EPA portfolio by using common tools or being a foundation for other investments to be implemented? • How well does the investment further Information Management goals, address mission performance gaps, and strengthen business processes? • What enterprise data does the investment supply or share across the agency or with EPA’s partners? • What’s Involved • Criteria requests 4 investment models: • Performance ‘Connecting the Dots’ • High-Level Business Process • Conceptual Data Model • System Interface Diagram • Compliance is achieved by submitting diagrams by July 31, 2007 • EA Team Support • Instructions and samples included in the updated 2007 Architecture Development Standards and Guidance document • Training and mentoring available at NDU the week of June 25

6. Investments with Second Tier Solution Architecture Requirements

7. Portfolio Response to 53 • X investments are categorized as part of an approved Segment (Tier 1): • eManifest, CERCLIS, SDMS, SEMS, ICTS, RCRAInfo, etc [list to be completed] • Y investments are categorized as part of an incomplete or in-process segment (Tier 2): • OW: STORET, SDWIS, Beaches, etc [list to be completed] • Remaining Z investments categorized as part of a planned but yet to be initiated segment (Tier 3)

8. Planned DME Expenditures Arrayed by Segments

9. PART Analysis

10. Selecting Candidate Segment ArchitecturesStructured Analysis Approach • Candidate segment architectures are identified through a structured analysis approach which is based on various considerations: • Strategic Considerations – EPA Administrator priorities, EPA Strategic Plan, other Federal requirements (eGov, PMA, etc.), and information interoperability needs • Performance Impact Considerations – Performance needs (e.g., through PAR and PART evaluations) and planned development/modernization/enhancement expenditures • Governance Considerations – “Willingness” and “Readiness” of potential segments: the maturity of their governance organizations to “own/lead” a segment architecture initiatives, and their readiness for enterprise tools/services usage and standardization • The IIS selects Segment Architectures for Agency Priority support each Fiscal Year

11. Proposed Segment Ranking Using Structured Analysis

12. Potential Segment Architecture Development Prioritization & Sequencing • The selection and sequencing of segment architecture efforts varies based on the Agency’s Priority for the desired business impact of the IT Portfolio. Some examples of sequencing based on priority are: • Strategic Priority (Security & Emergency Response) • FY08: Water Quality Management – critical Homeland Security initiative • FY09: Emergency Management – to implement lessons learned from Katrina • FY10: Air Quality Management – to promote air pollution reductions • Investment Cost Priority (Planned DME Costs) • FY08: Geospatial – $119.7M life cycle DME planned (BY08 +) • FY09: Enforcement & Compliance – $112.8M life cycle DME planned (BY08 +) • FY10: IT Management – $66.8M life cycle DME planned (BY08 +) • Performance Impact Priority (PART Reviews) • FY08: Substance Management – 1 Ineffective, 1 Results Not Demonstrated (of 7) • FY09: Research & Science – 1 Ineffective, 1 Results Not Demonstrated (of 11) • FY10: Air Quality Management – 1 Ineffective (of 7) NOTE: It is unknown at this time how many segments per year OMB will expect EPA to complete, use, and show evidence of performance results
