Federal Web Sites on the Year 2000
Addressing
the year 2000 computer problem is a substantial challenge to the
Federal government. Overall, the Federal government continues to
make progress in addressing the year 2000 problem -- but the rate
for some agencies is still not fast enough. President Clinton has
taken action to accelerate agencies efforts by discussing
the issue with his Cabinet and establishing a year 2000 conversion
council of senior executives from key Federal agencies.
As
of May 15, 1998, Federal agencies identified 7,336 mission-critical
systems. That number is 514 fewer than were reported in February
as senior Federal managers have reevaluated which systems are critical
to their organizations missions and set priorities within
their organizations. Of those mission-critical systems, 40 percent
are now year 2000 compliant (compared to 35 percent that were reported
compliant in February), 42 percent are being repaired, 14 percent
are being replaced, and 4 percent are being retired. Of the systems
being repaired, Federal agencies have completed renovation of 55
percent of them and have fully implemented 27 percent. Agencies
now estimate they will spend $5.0 billion fixing the problem in
Federal systems. Through independent verification and validation
efforts, agencies are reducing the risk of failure of their mission
critical systems that are being fixed. They are also beginning to
develop plans to assure continuity of their functions in instances
where system failures are possible.
The
Federal agencies are coordinating their efforts and making progress
government-wide in such areas as buildings systems, telecommunications,
and bio-medical devices and laboratory equipment. In addition, the
agencies are proactively working with their data exchange partners
to coordinate work on assuring that year 2000 problems with exchanged
data are addressed on time.
Nine
agencies are identified in the report as making adequate progress
on year 200; nine are identified as making progress, but with concerns;
and six are identified as not making adequate progress. OMB will
ask the 15 agencies that are either not making adequate progress
or about which there are concerns to provide their monthly schedule
for completion of year 2000 repairs for all mission critical systems.
Agencies will update their status against that schedule each month.
Also, for the six agencies not making adequate progress, the Chair
of the Year 2000 Conversion Council will attend each agencys
monthly year 2000 briefings for senior agency officials in order
to assist these agencies in managing the problem.
Six
agencies have identified systems that are either behind schedule
or that will miss the March 31, 1999 implementation deadline.
OMB will ask for more detailed information on the contingency plans
for those systems, as well as on the continuity of business planning
for the organizations as a whole.
OMB
asked 41 small and independent agencies to report on their progress
for the first time this quarter. A brief summary of each agency
that reported is included in the report. OMB will ask 10 of those
agencies to begin to report their progress quarterly.
Progress
on Year 2000 Conversion
Report of the U.S. Office of Management and Budget
as of May 15, 1998
This
report is the fifth in a series of quarterly summary reports to
Congress on the Administrations progress in fixing the year
2000 computer problem ("Y2K") in Federal systems. It outlines the
continuing work to avert the problems that could occur if systems
are not able to correctly process the year 2000. This report summarizes
information received from the 24 agencies that serve on the Federal
Chief Information Officers (CIO) Council and describes the
status of government-wide activities underway. OMB sends these reports
to the Congress on or before the 15th of March, June, September,
and December. For this report, information on the status of selected
small and independent agencies has also been included. This report
and all previous reports are available on the Federal Chief Information
Officers home page (http://cio.gov).
The
Administration has taken several significant steps during the last
quarter. In addition to providing support to agencies as they work
to fix their own systems, the Presidents Council on Year 2000
Conversion, which began operations in March and is chaired by John
Koskinen, has initiated efforts to increase awareness of the problem
beyond the Federal Government. Under the Councils direction,
agencies are reaching out to private sector organizations, State
and local governments, and international institutions in their policy
areas and are participating on Council working groups to address
year 2000 activities in key infrastructure areas including energy,
telecommunications, and financial institutions. These working groups
have met, and will continue to meet, with industry representatives
in these areas to facilitate and coordinate information sharing
on year 2000 progress and possible solutions across business lines.
In
addition, for this quarter, OMB collected information from selected
small and independent agencies on their year 2000 progress for this
report. A summary of the responses to those requests is included
in this report under the heading, "Status of Small and Independent
Agencies." OMB will continue to collect information from these agencies.
OMBs
initial Y2K report, entitled "Getting Federal Computers Ready for
the Year 2000," was transmitted February 6, 1997. The report outlined
the Federal governments strategy to address the Y2K problem
in its systems, one that remains predicated on agency accountability.
To assist in that effort, OMB is requiring agencies to report quarterly
on their progress on the fifteenth of February, May, August, and
November for each year until 2000. This report summarizes the agencies'
progress based on the agency reports sent to OMB on May 15, 1998,
and describes other actions being taken to assure success. It also
responds to requests for information contained in House Report 105-240
and Senate Report 105-49.
The
Federal governments strategy is based on the five phases of
the best practices for addressing the problem: awareness, assessment,
renovation, validation, and implementation. Working with the CIO
Council, OMB has set government-wide milestones for the completion
of work in each of the phases. Agencies have established
plans to complete the work in each phase. The five phases
overlap -- for example, validation of some systems can begin while
renovation of others continues.
II. SUMMARY
OF GOVERNMENT-WIDE PROGRESS
Top
of Page
This summary
report shows that:
- Virtually
all agencies have adopted accelerated schedules for the completion
of their Y2K work. While three agencies schedules (Energy,
HHS, and AID) are behind the government-wide milestones, several
agencies schedules are in advance of these milestones (Justice,
Treasury, OPM, SBA, GSA, and SSA).
- Agencies
now identify 7,336 mission critical systems, which is less than
the 7,850 identified in the February report. This change results
principally because of senior management decisions that certain
systems were not mission critical and therefore are a lower priority.
- Of
the 7,336 mission critical systems, 2,913 (40 percent) are now
year 2000 compliant, compared to 35 percent in the previous report.
This includes systems repaired, replaced, and those that were
already compliant.
- Of
the 7,336 mission critical systems, 3,117 (42 percent ) are still
being repaired; 1,020 (14 percent) are still being replaced; and
286 (4 percent) will be retired.
- Of
those systems that have been or will be repaired, the government-wide
average for completion of renovation is 55 percent, while validation
is 32 percent complete and implementation is 27 percent complete.
- Agencies
now estimate they will spend $5.0 billion fixing the problem from
fiscal year 1996 through fiscal year 2000, a slight increase from
$4.7 billion in the previous report. At this time, we believe
the increased costs for fiscal year 1999 can be met within existing
agency requests. These estimates cover the costs of identifying
necessary changes, evaluating the cost effectiveness of making
those changes (fix or scrap decisions), making changes, testing
systems, and preparing contingencies for failure recovery. They
include the costs for fixing both mission critical and non-mission
critical systems, as well non-information technology products
and systems such as air conditioning and heating. They do not
include the costs of upgrades or replacements that would otherwise
occur as part of the normal systems life cycle. They also do not
include the Federal share of the costs for state information systems
that support Federal programs. In the event that additional year
2000 requirements are identified, the Presidents FY 1999
Budget contained an allowance to pay for emergencies, including
unforseen Defense and non-Defense costs, natural disasters, and
unanticipated, non-emergency expenses of the year 2000 conversion.
OMB expects that future quarterly reports will continue to refine
cost estimates as agencies gain more experience about how much
it costs to renovate, validate, and implement their systems.
These
figures do not include the information reported by the small and independent
agencies. A summary of the status of these agencies is provided in
the table in the section entitled, "Status of Small and Independent
Agencies."
Evaluation
of Progress
Top
of Page
Overall,
the Federal government continues to make progress in addressing the
year 2000 problem -- but the rate for some agencies is still not fast
enough. OMB has categorized agencies into one of three tiers based
on evidence of progress in their reports. Tier 1 comprises agencies
where there is insufficient evidence of adequate progress. For agencies
in Tier 2, OMB sees evidence of progress, but also has concerns. The
remaining nine agencies in Tier 3 are making satisfactory progress.
Although
71 percent of the systems in Tier 3 are compliant, only 31 percent
of the systems of the Tier 1 agencies are compliant. It is critical
that those agencies most at risk devote more management attention
to the problem in order to ensure that solving the year 2000 problem
is the agencys highest information technology priority. The
following table provides detail on the progress of the agencies
by tier.

"Y2K Compliant" means that the system will accurately process
data through the century change. "Renovation complete" means
that necessary changes to a systems databases and/or
software have been made. "Implementation Complete" means that
the system has been tested for compliance and has been integrated
into the system environment where the agency performs its
routine information processing activities. For more information
on definitions, see GAO/AIMD-10.1.14, "Year 2000 Computing
Crisis: An Assessment Guide," September 1997, available at
http://cio.gov under Year 2000 Documents.
|
To improve
on this progress, the Administration is taking several additional
steps. First, the Chair of the Presidents Council on Year 2000
Conversion will attend the monthly briefings for the senior management
of all Tier 1 Cabinet agencies in order to assist these agencies in
managing the problem. Second, all agencies that are rated as Tier
1 or Tier 2 will be required to provide to OMB their monthly benchmarks
for renovation, validation, and implementation of systems necessary
to meet the government-wide milestones. These agencies will also be
asked to provide to OMB a monthly chart reporting on their progress
against these benchmarks. The first monthly reports will be due to
OMB on Friday, June 26. Updates will be due August 1 and the first
of each month thereafter. OMBs next quarterly report will provide
summary information based on those progress reports. Third, OMB will
require agencies to provide more detailed information on contingency
planning for those systems that are expected to miss the March 1999
deadline for implementation, as well as on their continuity of business
plans as a whole.
III. GOVERNMENT-WIDE
ISSUES
Top
of Page
Accelerated
Goals
Top
of Page
In January
1998, OMB and the CIO Council set accelerated government-wide goals
for the completion of renovation, validation, and implementation.
The goals are completion of renovation by September 1998, completion
of validation by January 1999, and completion of implementation by
March 1999. Four agencies, the Departments of Transportation, Justice,
Health and Human Services, and Treasury, report that they have not
completed their assessments. The Department of Energy reported that
it will complete validation by February 1999, but plans to complete
implementation on schedule. All other agencies schedules are
consistent with the government-wide goals. Seven Departments (the
Departments of Agriculture, Defense, Health and Human Services, Interior,
Transportation, Treasury, and State) report they have systems that
will not be implemented by March 31, 1999, or systems that are behind
schedule. These Departments also described the steps they are taking
to develop contingency plans. A discussion of systems is included
at the end of the report.
Non-Information
Technology Systems/ Embedded Chips
Top
of Page
Many products
or systems, such as diagnostic equipment, security systems, elevators,
or heating and air conditioning systems, contain embedded chips. Frequently,
these chips include a date function that helps run the system -- for
example, to time maintenance procedures or to regulate temperature.
If this date function is not year 2000 compliant, then the chip may
not work. Although all agencies indicated that they are making progress
in this area, and many are fixing such products, others still need
to complete their assessments. In areas where affected products are
widely used, OMB has established government-wide working groups. (More
information is provided under "Government-wide Areas.")
Telecommunications
Networks
Top
of Page
All agencies
indicated that they have begun their assessments of their telecommunications
systems. Many indicated that they are making progress on ensuring
that their telecommunications systems will be ready for the year 2000.
In most cases, agencies must work with vendors to receive system upgrades
and are somewhat dependent on these vendors in terms of timing. GSA
also chairs a working group that is working with vendors government-wide
to ensure readiness. (More information is provided under "Government-wide
Areas.")
Non-mission-critical
Systems
Top
of Page
All agencies
reported that they completed or nearly completed their assessments
of non-mission critical systems. By definition, such systems are less
critical to the functioning of the agencies, but many are still important.
All of the agencies reported they have an active program to fix these
systems, albeit as a lower priority.
Independent
Verification and Validation (IV&V)
Top
of Page
Because
the year 2000 problem is so widespread, it is unlikely that immediate
assistance will be available to organizations if they have a problem
in January 2000. Therefore, it is essential that managers take every
action possible now to identify and fix any problems that could
occur, particularly as they may affect mission critical systems.
Independent validation and verification assists senior management
by providing a double-check that their mission critical systems
will be ready. All large agencies have independent verification
programs underway for that reason. These activities are paying off
as some agency systems, which were considered compliant, have been
found not to be, allowing sufficient time for management to take
action.
It
is essential that accurate information be reported to senior management
in a timely manner, so that they can take appropriate action. Agency
Inspectors General have been helpful to senior management in this
regard as well. They have, for example, taken an active role in
verifying the accuracy of reports to senior agency management and
reports to OMB and the Congress.
Business
Contingency Planning
Top
of Page
Overall,
the agencies need to focus more attention on contingency planning
for systems that are at risk of not meeting the March 1999 deadline
for implementation. In addition, all agencies, regardless of the status
of their systems, should be developing continuity of business plans.
Such plans should address, in addition to an agencys internal
systems, implications of the year 2000 problem that are outside of
the agencys control, such as the inability of suppliers to provide
products to the agency or the loss of critical infrastructure. These
continuity of business plans will be a primary activity in Federal
agencies between now and the year 2000. Most Federal agencies are
just beginning to prepare them. To assist in this effort, the CIO
Councils Year 2000 Committee, working with the General Accounting
Office, is developing guidance on such planning. The Social Security
Administration recently completed its plan. That plan was circulated
to the other Federal agencies as a model and will be reflected in
the CIO Councils guidance.
Data
Exchanges with States and Other Partners
Top
of Page
Federal
agencies exchange data with each other; with foreign, State, and
local governments; and with private entities. Of particular importance
are data exchanges with the States, because States operate many
important Federal programs. To help assure that these exchanges
are Y2K compliant, the CIO Council is working with the National
Association of State Information Resource Executives (NASIRE) to
specifically focus on the exchanges between the Federal government
and State governments. All agencies have inventoried their data
exchanges and initiated discussions with their data exchange partners
regarding both the format of their data exchanges and the timing
of making fixes to the data exchanges.
In
addition, on May 19, 1998, OMB issued instructions to the agencies
on reporting the status of their year 2000 fixes to their data exchanges
with the States. The General Services Administration (GSA) will
provide a format to Federal agencies for them to provide an electronic
report on the status of data exchanges. The status of each data
exchange will be broken down by State and must be shown as one of
four categories: (1) compliant and successfully tested by both parties;
(2) successfully bridged with both parties concurring in the format;
(3) Federal side ready but not yet tested; and, (4) not yet compliant
or testing still in progress. In July, agencies will provide their
first submissions of this information to GSA. This information will
be updated on a monthly basis.
Other
Government-wide Areas
Top
of Page
OMB has
identified and is working on three government-wide areas where the
Y2K problem occurs in other than computer systems: telecommunications;
bio-medical devices and laboratory equipment; and buildings. In these
areas, the problem occurs in commercial products that rely on computers
or have computer chips inside them; the problem needs to be fixed
by the manufacturers of those products. OMB has established interagency
working groups, each chaired by a key program agency, to raise awareness
and to work with manufacturers to assure that products are fixed.
Each group is contacting vendors on behalf of the entire Federal government,
performing tests to verify compliance, and sharing information through
electronic databases.
The
Telecommunications Working Group
Top
of Page
Government,
like the private sector, is reliant upon commercial vendors and
the information they supply to address the compliance of their telecommunications
systems. GSA owns, manages, or resells consolidated telecommunications
services to Federal agencies throughout the United States. The Telecommunications
Working Group is chaired by the Federal Telecommunications Service
(FTS) of the GSA.
The
Telecommunications Working Group is working with industry to ensure
that the telecommunications services and systems provided to the
Federal government are year 2000 compliant. As vendors continually
evaluate the year 2000 status of products, agency year 2000 plans,
schedules, budgets, and deadlines continue to evolve. Through special
interest groups for testing telecommunications equipment, the Working
Group is learning more about compliant and non-compliant telecommunications
products. Inventory data has been added to a government-wide database
of agency information. This database is available for vendors to
post the status of their products at http://y2k.fts.gsa.gov. The
Working Group has been leading discussions with vendors and has
received positive responses from the major telecommunication providers
and manufacturers. The Working Group is also investigating how the
Federal government can participate in testing of certain critical
systems.
GSA
is using a two-fold approach to ensuring that the Federal governments
local telecommunications services will be year 2000 compliant. First,
as a reseller of service using Government wide-owned Private Branch
Exchange (PBX) equipment, GSA has direct control over the equipment.
At this point, testing has shown that 90 percent of the PBXs owned
by GSA are already compliant. For the remaining 10 percent, manufacturers
have indicated that they will provide upgrade solutions. Second,
as a reseller of service using Central Exchange (CENTREX) service
obtained from Local Exchange Carriers (LECs), GSA has limited authority
or leverage over the internal networks of these carriers. Currently,
there are 247 CENTREX systems which are wholly owned, managed, and
maintained by LECs, but which sell service to the Federal government.
The Federal government has designated GSA regional points of contact
and instructed them to contact their respective LEC service providers
and request information on the year 2000 status for the CENTREX
service they receive. This information will then be provided to
other Federal agency users.
The
Biomedical and Laboratory Equipment Working Group
Top
of Page
The
Biomedical Equipment Working Group is chaired by the Department
of Health and Human Services. On January 21, 1998, the HHS Deputy
Secretary wrote to over 16,000 manufacturers of biomedical devices
and laboratory equipment, asking them to verify the compliance of
their products. Responses were due to the Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) on March 23, 1998. As of May 1, the FDA had received approximately
1,600 responses. Many of these responses were from companies that
manufacture no electronic equipment and for which developing a response
was easy. The information received is being posted to a public web
site at http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/yr2000. The FDA must aggressively
pursue responses from the remaining equipment manufacturers.
The
web site contains information about products that are compliant
as well as information about products that are not. For those that
are not compliant, it also provides detailed information as to how
it is not compliant, and most importantly, the solutions that the
manufacturer will offer to mitigate the problem, such as software
updates, along with the date on which a compliant product will be
available.
The
overall response has been limited, indicating a possible lack of
awareness or even denial of the problem in this industry. On the
other hand, those who have responded have thanked the Working Group
for providing them with an easy way to publicize the compliance
of their products. In fact, the request for web site posting of
product year 2000 compliance status is designed to provide an opportunity
for manufacturers to communicate and better serve customers in a
responsible and proactive manner and to avoid the necessity for
manufacturers and vendors to field numerous calls and letters from
individual organizations. The Working Group hopes that the web site
will be useful to hospitals, doctors, government health facilities,
as well as patients.
The
FDA is planning to conduct follow-up with the manufacturers of medical
devices containing microprocessors. The follow-up to manufacturers
by FDA will be targeted toward the manufacturers of medical devices
which are the most critical and the most likely to have year 2000
date related problems. The FDA also plans to conduct outreach to
both manufacturers and the health care industry through speeches,
contact with the professional associations, and the placement of
articles in prominent medical and medical equipment-related journals.
The first two articles, which appear in the FDA Medical Bulletin
and the Journal of the American Medical Association,
appeared on June 1 and June 3 respectively. The FDA will also publish
a Federal Register notice elaborating on the FDA's expectations
of medical device manufacturers under
current laws and regulations. Publication of this notice is expected
by July 1.
Buildings
Systems Working Group
Top
of Page
The
Building Systems Working Group of the CIO Council is chaired by
the Public Buildings Service at GSA. Their charge is to ensure that
building system equipment containing embedded microchips and software
is year 2000 compliant.
The
Working Group has surveyed approximately 60 percent of its building
inventory and identified equipment considered susceptible to year
2000 issues. Vendors and manufacturers of this equipment are being
contacted to determine the compliance/non-compliance of the equipment
and to determine any necessary remedial action. GSA has established
a website (http://y2k.lmi.org/gsa/y2kproducts) that provides all
year 2000 compliance/non-compliance information for building systems
products that has been gathered thus far. While there are now over
6000 products listed on this site, only 5 percent of all products
are identified as non-compliant. The list of non-compliant items
includes items which will experience nuisance problems (e.g., print
reports dated "1900" rather than "2000" but will not experience
operational degradation. All building systems in Federal buildings
considered at risk are being evaluated. At this juncture, elevators
are somewhat less of a concern while security/access systems are
coming under closer scrutiny.
All
lessors that provide GSA space were sent letters between February
and April that describe potential problems associated with building
systems containing embedded microchips and requested that they certify
their space as year 2000 compliant. Response rates varied greatly
by region, although the typical response rate was between 50 and
70 percent. The Working Group is using the Logistics Management
Institute (LMI) to follow-up with non-responsive lessors. LMI follow-up
includes offers to help lessors determine compliance of their major
building systems and equipment. For lessors that fail to respond
to both of these letters, a risk assessment will be made for each
location and a more stringent approach may be implemented if warranted
(e.g., inspect leased locations to determine year 2000 compliance
of major components/systems). Additionally, for all new leased space,
a year 2000 clause was developed for inclusion in all Solicitations
For Offers.
Finally,
another website is currently under construction which will allow
personnel from Federal agencies to determine the year 2000 compliance
status of Federally owned and leased facilities. This site will
be for Federal government use only.
IV. AGENCY
SPECIFIC PROGRESS
Top
of Page
Agency
Evaluation
Top
of Page
While
many agencies appear to be making good progress in addressing this
problem, some are not. In evaluating agency progress, OMB used the
same basic criteria as in previous reports. For this report, the detailed
criteria are:
- Status
of agency assessment -- Has the agency completed its assessment
of mission critical and non-mission critical systems? Has the
agency completed its assessment of non-IT systems, including embedded
chips? Has the agency completed its inventory of data exchanges
with outside entities?
- Measurable
improvement -- Is there measurable and adequate progress on renovation,
validation, and implementation of computer systems, including
its data exchanges? Is there progress on addressing other systems,
including telecommunications systems and embedded chips?
- Schedule
for completion of the phases of best practices and overall prognosis
-- Has the agency adopted a realistic schedule that is consistent
with the government-wide goals? Has there been a change in the
number of mission critical systems that are expected to miss the
March 1999 implementation date? Does the agency have a strong
management team and a credible strategy in place?
- Risk
management -- Is the agency preparing a workable continuity of
business plan for its core business functions? Does the agency
have a deadline for when plans must be complete? Does the agency
have an effective independent validation and verification program
in place? Is there adequate oversight of efforts to replace non-compliant
systems? Are systems previously reported behind being brought
back on schedule?
- Dramatic
changes in previously reported information or other indications
of concern -- Have there been dramatic changes in cost, schedule,
changes to the number of systems, or changes to the number of
systems behind schedule? Are there any concerns with the availability
of key personnel?
Tier
One comprises agencies where there is insufficient evidence of adequate
progress. The six agencies in the first tier are:
Department
of Defense
Top
of Page
The
Department has a massive year 2000 challenge which must be accomplished
on a tight schedule. Since its February report, progress has slowed.
The percentage of compliant mission critical systems has only
increased from 24 percent to 29 percent, the percentage of mission
critical systems being renovated has only increased from 53 percent
to 58 percent, while the percentage of mission critical systems
that has completed implementation has increased from 9 percent
to 17 percent. At this pace, the Department will not meet its
goals and complete its work on time. To accelerate its work, the
Department has streamlined and strengthened its oversight mechanisms,
including establishing an executive program office. The Department
is now treating the year 2000 problem as a high-priority national
security operations and readiness issue, and the Deputy Secretary
is regularly briefed on the Departments progress. Overall,
the Department has implemented a coordinated management program
and appears poised for improvement despite a slower rate of progress
in the last quarter.
Department
of Education
Top
of Page
The
Department of Education has continued to make progress in addressing
its year 2000 problem. It has significantly increased staff resources
committed to this task, has finalized its year 2000 work plan,
and has accelerated schedules to complete all work by March 1999.
The Deputy Secretary is providing strong leadership and is personally
tracking progress. The Department has established a schedule for
its year 2000 work, developed a detailed plan for fixing its mission-critical
systems, begun renovation, and has hired a consultant to assist
with key project management and technical tasks. The Department
has contracted with two firms for independent verification and
validation services for all mission critical systems. The Department
has undertaken an extensive outreach effort to communicate with
the entire education community, beyond those customers that are
data exchange partners, on the year 2000 problem. However, the
Department remains behind most other Federal agencies, with renovation
of eight mission critical systems only 14 percent complete, and
with zero percent complete on validation and implementation. Three
of these eight systems have completed 30 percent or less of the
work necessary to finish the renovation phase.
Department
of Energy
Top
of Page
The
Department has identified all mission-critical systems at its
government and contractor sites; however, assessment of the Department's
embedded chips systems and lab equipment continues. On the positive
side, the percent of renovation completed has improved from 19
percent in the February report to 34 percent in the May report,
and progress in the other phases is also improved. Moreover, the
Department indicates that it is on schedule to complete implementation
by March 1999 for all but six of its 411 systems; those six will
complete implementation not later than October 1999. While there
has been improvement against its internal schedule, DOE remains
behind the government-wide schedule.
In
response to concerns identified in the November 1997 report, the
Department required all program officials to certify to the CIO
that adequate progress was being made in achieving year 2000 compliance
prior to receiving information technology funding. All but one
program official (Environmental Management) has provided this
certification, and non-Y2K information technology funds remain
unavailable to that program. One site, Savannah River, has been
unable to certify that adequate progress is being made in achieving
Y2K compliance. (Although nuclear materials are processed at Savannah
River, the systems that will miss the March 1999 deadline do not
pose a health, safety, or environmental threat.) In time for the
May report, the Department completed a survey of all sites regarding
data exchanges. The survey is a good start on ensuring that all
mission critical data exchanges are Y2K compliant. Although the
Department's CIO is conducting site compliance reviews in cooperation
with the Office of the Inspector General, independent verification
and validation contractors are not being used by the Department
for compliance reviews. Overall, the Department has improved its
management coordination and has made real progress in some areas;
yet until its progress comes closer to the government-wide goals,
it will remain on the troubled list.
Department
of Health and Human Services
Top
of Page
The
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), as a whole, has
made some progress from the last quarterly report. However, some
operating divisions and individual systems continue to raise concerns.
In two specific cases, HHS reports systems that are projected
to achieve compliance later than the HHS-wide deadline for implementation
of 12/31/98. These systems are described later under "Exceptions."
In addition, the Department reevaluated which systems should be
designated as "mission critical." Although this has resulted in
fewer mission critical systems for some operating divisions, this
has also resulted in a lower percentage of compliant mission-critical
systems.
The
focal point of HHS' efforts is the Health Care Financing Administration
(HCFA), which has almost finished assessing the system that its
external contractors, such as Medicare fiscal intermediaries and
carriers, use to process Medicare claims. The success or failure
of HCFA's overall Y2K effort is closely linked to the success
or failure of Medicare contractor systems. It is critical that
these contractors complete their assessments and begin renovations
to ensure compliance by December 31, 1998. Given the governments
limited ability under current law to influence Medicare contractors,
the Administration submitted a draft bill to Congress on May 19,
1998, that would increase the Secretarys contracting flexibility.
The Administration encourages Congress to pass this legislation
as soon as possible to ensure that HCFA has all the tools it needs
to achieve full compliance. HCFA is performing on-site visits
to every Medicare contractor and is using an independent verification
and validation contractor to perform a risk assessment of Medicare
contractors. HCFAs independent verification and validation
efforts also examines all other aspects of the Y2K
project. HCFA is in the early stages of developing detailed
contingency plans to ensure the continuity of operations of its
health programs into the next millennium. HCFA and HHS must continue
closely tracking progress in this critical area.
Department
of Transportation
Top
of Page
The
Department of Transportation has greatly improved its management
oversight in the last quarter and appears to be devoting considerable
resources to the problem; nevertheless, reported progress since
the last report was minimal. With 14.9 percent of its mission
critical systems validated and 7.4 percent implemented, the Department
lags well behind the government-wide schedule, and its assessments
of four systems had not been completed as of the May reporting
date.
Although
the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has a strong management
team in place and a good organizational commitment to remediation,
the FAA continues to be at significant risk. It needs to determine
priorities for system conversion and replacement based on
systems mission criticality; develop plans for validating
and testing all converted or replaced systems; and continue working
to develop realistic contingency plans for all business lines
to ensure the continuity of critical operations, including the
availability of critical telecommunications support. Of particular
concern is the FAAs HOST computer system, which is the backbone
en route air traffic control. The FAA intends to replace the HOST
computers at a pace sufficient to guarantee an adequate supply
of spare parts for the remaining computers. FAA is continuing
to assess the potential vulnerability of the systems micro-code
and is validating the feasibility of a date roll-back as one of
its potential contingency plans. The FAAs contingency planning
must provide for continuity of operational capability of the National
Airspace System (NAS), including scenarios when the HOST computer
is not available.
The
United States Coast Guard is falling behind schedule in the repair
of three safety-related systems, with one, the Marine Safety Information
System, having problems with old hardware and archaic software
similar to that being experienced by FAA.
U.S.
Agency for International Development

USAID
has reported no new progress in terms of the total number of systems
renovated, validated, or implemented. While USAID has made a number
of management improvements, including plans to increase independent
validation and verification of contractor deliverables and increasing
agency-wide awareness of the year 2000 problem, these steps are
too recent to have resulted in measurable progress. However, since
the last report, standard code to process date/time data for USAIDs
mission critical systems has reached the design phase under a
new contract. In addition, a new prime contract for year 2000
project management was awarded May 29, 1998. Both actions are
consistent with best practice recommendations of independent studies.
Other
Agencies
Top
of Page
For agencies
in the second tier, OMB sees evidence of progress, but also has concerns.
Some of these agencies have strong Y2K programs and OMB expects them
to continue to improve. The nine agencies in the second tier are:
the Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Housing and Urban Development,
Interior, Justice, Labor, State, and Treasury, and the Office of Personnel
Management. A summary of progress and concerns for these agencies
appears below.
Tier
2 Agencies -- Progress, But Concerns
Agency
|
Progress
|
Concerns
|
USDA
|
Progress
in renovation, validation, and implementation of systems;
actively working on data exchange issues with states. States
report that all Food Stamp systems will be Y2K compliant by
12/31/99.
|
Embedded
systems, facilities, and telecommunications issues are not
yet resolved; contingency planning and proactive independent
validation and verification efforts have not yet been established.
Based on current information from States, all but two State
WIC systems will be compliant by 12/31/99. New York plans
to use its existing manual WIC system until 8/1/00, at which
time its system will be compliant. Complete information from
Ohio on telecommunications progress is not available so USDA
is unable to determine whether the State will be fully compliant
by 12/31/99. (USDA will work to receive more information from
Ohio on the status of its WIC system.)

Good
management team with some improvement in the number of systems
validated. Chief Information Officer recently hired. Actively
working on embedded chip, telecommunications, and data exchange
issues.
|
Need
greater progress in renovating mission-critical systems. Independent
validation and verification efforts have not been formally
established although the Inspector General is examining HUD
efforts.

if Department and government-wide goals are to be met.
|
DOL
|
Top
priority of the Secretary; significant progress on renovation;
good progress on data exchanges, especially with State unemployment
systems.
|
Despite
progress, still lags behind the government-wide goals. Must
complete assessment of embedded chips.
|
State
|
Permanent
CIO in place; actively assessing and upgrading non-IT systems;
taking steps to improve IV&V process.
|
Some
progress, but evidence of schedule slippage; consolidation
of some systems is a complicating factor; progress needs to
be accelerated on overseas financial systems.
|
Treasury
|
Strong
management team; leader in work on embedded systems, buildings,
and telecommunications. Actively working on data exchange
issues with the States. Good progress in Customs and IRS.
|
Greater
progress is needed in FMS, particularly with respect to the
Government On-line Accounting Link System (GOALS), which supports
18 separate financial management applications used by the
agencies. The GOALS system has yet to be fully assessed for
year 2000 conversion; if the system is not made compliant,
the accuracy of government-wide payments, collections, debt
management, and accounting information could be compromised.
|
OPM
|
Strong
continued senior management involvement has resulted in a
credible strategy and progress; contingency planning is much
improved with well defined goals and milestones.
|
Rate
of validation and implementation must increase in order to
meet government-wide goals.
|
The remaining
nine agencies in Tier 3 appear to be making satisfactory progress.
These nine agencies are the Environmental Protection Agency, the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration, the Social Security Administration,
the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the General Services Administration,
the National Science Foundation, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission,
the Small Business Administration, and the Department of Veterans
Affairs.
Status
of Small and Independent Agencies
Top
of Page
Based
on the results of a one-time request for reports from 41 small and
independent agencies, OMB is asking several agencies to report again
on their progress on August 15, 1998. OMB is asking for these reports
in the next quarter because of the importance of these agencies
missions, because of concerns about the rate of progress, or because
their initial reports did not provide sufficient detail. Those agencies
are: the Federal Communications Commission, the Federal Housing
Finance Board, the National Archives and Records Administration,
the National Labor Relations Board, the Office of Administration
in the Executive Office of the President, the Peace Corps, the Tennessee
Valley Authority, the U.S. Postal Service, and the U.S. Trade Representative
in the Executive Office of the President.
A summary
of their progress will be included in the next quarterly report
to Congress. OMB is asking all small and independent agencies to
report again on May 15, 1999. OMB will continue to work with all
small and independent agencies, as appropriate, to ensure that they
are prepared for the year 2000.

In addition,
agencies are required to report on any mission-critical systems for
which year 2000 renovation or replacements have fallen more than two
months behind schedule. In addition, agencies are required to report
on any system that will not meet the March 1999 target for completion
of implementation. The following agencies report specific systems
that are behind schedule or that will miss the March 1999 target.
Department
of Agriculture
Top
of Page
Two
agencies reported slippage in dates beyond March 1999, the Agricultural
Marketing Service (AMS) and Departmental Administration (DA).
The Agricultural Marketing Service Financial Information System
is being redeveloped using year 2000 compliant hardware and software.
Since the submission of the May report, approval for support services
for year 2000 compliance has been granted. Two additional AMS
systems are under development, therefore the approval process
for these systems required additional steps. The AMS Field Infrastructure
System has received approval to proceed based on the condition
that the newly developed system would be validated and verified
as year 2000 compliant through independent means. Milestones for
this system are being developed. The AMS Data Repository has received
approval to proceed based on the condition that the newly developed
system would be validated and verified as year 2000 compliant
through independent means. Milestones for this system are being
developed.
The
Departmental Administration Systems are no longer an exception.
The Department will make the current systems that were scheduled
for replacement compliant by January 1999.
Department
of Defense
Top
of Page
The
Department of Defense reported that nine mission critical systems
have fallen behind schedule: one Army system, two Air Force systems,
two systems at the Defense Finance and Accounting Service, one
system at the Defense Logistics Agency, and three systems at the
National Security Agency. Of those nine, one was previously reported
behind schedule: the Air Forces MARK V system, which remains
behind schedule due to a COTS vendor delivery problem. The Department
also reported 34 mission critical systems being repaired or replaced
that had completion dates after March 1999: seven Army systems,
eighteen Navy systems, two Air Force systems, one system at the
Defense Intelligence Agency, one system at the Defense Information
Systems Agency, one system at the Defense Logistics Agency, one
system at the National Imagery and Mapping Agency, two systems
at the Office of the Secretary of Defense, and one system at the
On-site Inspection Agency. The DOD CIO is establishing a special
review board to focus leadership actions on mission critical systems
such as these that are not meeting the DOD required dates for
implementation.

The
Health Care Financing Administrations Financial Accounting
Systems (FACS) is behind schedule as a result of a delay in validation.
Validation will commence, contingent upon the installation of
a year 2000 compliant version of the commercial, off-the-shelf
database system, known as IDMS, and the availability of future
date testing tools. These problems are being addressed, and HCFA
anticipates that FACS will be in the validation phase soon.
HHS
reported two other systems that are projected to achieve compliance
later than the HHS-wide deadline of December 31, 1998. The first
is the system called IMPACT which is used to process personnel
actions Department-wide. It was to be replaced by a new system,
FED
HR-21, which is already year 2000 compliant. However, FED HR-21
will not be implemented until late 1999. As a contingency plan,
PSC is making the legacy system compliant by February 1999. The
second system reported late is the Health Resources and Services
Administrations contractor-operated National Organ Transplant
System, which is not projected to be compliant until a new replacement
system is implemented in July, 1999.

The
Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) System at the
Bureau of Reclamation is used to manage the Glen Canyon Powerplant.
Preliminary estimates to renovate the system were significantly
higher than anticipated, so a statement of work was developed
requiring a three-phase effort to reassess costs, make repairs,
and test the system for year 2000 compliance. An estimate of the
costs for renovation is anticipated by the Department in May 1998.
In the meantime, a waiver to the Dual-Compensation Act has been
granted for 10 Powerplant Operators. This is part of the bureau's
contingency planning so that all dams can be operated in a manual
mode. The Bureau's estimate is that SCADA's renovation, testing,
and implementation will be completed before January 1999.

The
Supply Automated Receiving System (SARS), Enhanced Automated Procurement
System (EAPCS), Mail Sorting Equipment Network (MSE), and the
Electronic Receipts System (ERS) within the Bureau of Administration
are planned to be on a reestablished schedule by June. Early delays
involved evaluation of commercial off-the-shelf system alternatives,
funding requests and contract modifications. Virtually all of
these issues have been resolved with only the contract modifications
awaiting finalization in June. Renovation of the SARS and the
Medical Archiving Retrieval System (MARS) within the Bureau of
Personnel will extend beyond the September 1998 renovation milestone,
but other applications (including EAPCS, MSE, and ERS) will meet
this deadline. SARS will be renovated by January 1999, and the
MARS will be renovated by November 1998.

The
United States Coast Guard reported that three of its mission critical
systems have fallen behind the OMB target dates for work in the
remaining phases. Two of these systems are projected to miss interim
target dates, but are still on track to comply with the March
1999 implementation phase deadline. The third system, the Marine
Safety Information System (MSIS), is experiencing difficulties
achieving its milestone targets largely due to the complexity
of custom-built code, usage of what are now archaic programming
languages, and some hardware components that are unique to the
MSIS. The MSIS technical staff is training additional people to
work on the software issues and at this time, is projecting a
year 2000 solution to be tested and implemented by September 1999.

The
Government On-Line Accounting Link System (GOALS) at the Financial
Management Service is comprised of 18 application subsystems that
collect, edit, and telecommunicate data. GOALS-II was initiated
in September 1995 to replace GOALS-I. Based on the analysis of
the current development schedule, not all of the 18 subsystems
of GOALS-II will be completed and implemented prior to the year
2000. Consequently, FMS has determined that it must renovate the
existing GOALS-I system to ensure year 2000 compliance. FMS is
working with the program areas responsible for each of the subsystems
to develop contingency plans. These plans are scheduled for completion
in June 1998.

Notes: These estimates do not include the Federal share of the
costs for State information systems that support Federal programs.
For example, the Agriculture total does not include the potential
50 percent in Federal matching funds provided to States by Food
and Consumer Services to correct their Year 2000 problems. Similarly,
the HHS total does not include the Medicaid baseline costsfor
the Federal share of state systems. And, while Labor's FY 1998
appropriation includes $200 million for States to correct Year
2000 problems in State unemployment insurance systems,that amount
is not included in this estimate.
