As noted in OMBs most recent report quarterly report to the Congress, "Progress in Year 2000 Conversion", many agencies are not demonstrating they are making adequate progress in addressing the year 2000 problem in their mission critical systems. OMB is concerned about the risk to the government of the failure of such systems. Therefore, OMB will more closely monitor agencies progress in fixing mission critical systems. To assist in that effort, please provide, by June 26, a copy of your agencys plan for monthly progress toward making its mission critical systems year 2000 compliant, including when systems being repaired are expected to complete the renovation, validation, and implementation phases. For Departments, please provide such a plan for the Department as a whole and for each major component. Attachment A, is an example of the summary information that we expect to derive from the plans provided. Beginning August 10, and subsequently on the tenth day of each month thereafter, please provide a report which shows the actual progress made in the previous month relative to the plan. Feel free to include explanatory information about the progress reported. Please provide the plans to Ed Springer, Room 10236 NEOB, Washington, D.C. 20503 (phone: 202 395-3562, fax: 202 395-5167). He is also available to answer any questions. Thank you for your continued hard work on this critical effort. Working together, I am confident that we can minimize the impact of this problem.
