Authority and Responsibilities for Implementation of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-13) and the Clinger-Cohen Act of 1996 (Information Technology Management Reform Act of 1996) (Division E of Pub. L. 104-106)

1. Purpose. To delegate authority and assign responsibilities for implementation of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) and the Clinger-Cohen Act of 1996 (also known as the Information Technology (IT) Management Reform Act of 1996 (ITMRA)), and to formally establish within the Department of Labor (DOL) the position of Chief Information Officer (CIO), the Management Review Council (MRC), and a supporting Technical Review Board (TRB) of DOL Administrative Officers and Information Resource Managers.

2. Background. The PRA of 1995, as well as its predecessor Act of 1980, was enacted to reduce paperwork and enhance the economy and efficiency of the government and the private sector by improving Federal information policy making and management. The Acts required agency heads to designate “senior officials” responsible for carrying out agency responsibilities. Section 5125 of the Clinger-Cohen Act amended the PRA to (a) create the position of agency CIO and (b) assign all PRA duties previously assigned to agency “senior officials” to Federal agency CIOs. The Clinger-Cohen Act also requires the head of each executive agency, in fulfilling responsibilities under section 3506(h) of the PRA [44 U.S.C. 3506(h)], to “design and implement * * * a process for maximizing the value and assessing and managing the risks of the information technology acquisitions of the executive agency.” Under the Clinger-Cohen Act, an agency's CIO must have information resources management (IRM) duties as his or her primary duty. Consistent with the foregoing statutory requirements, this Order establishes the position of CIO and outlines the CIO's responsibilities under the Clinger-Cohen Act and the PRA.

In October, 1996, the Department established a Capital Planning and Investment Board (CPIB) as part of the Department's process under Clinger-Cohen. In April 1998, the Secretary established a Management Review Council (MRC) (also known as the Management Council) within the Department. In November, 1998, the MRC voted to establish a Technical Review Board (TRB). The initial TRB Charter was developed and approved in March 1999 with final adoption on April 12, 1999. The current charter is attached to this Order. (See Attachment 1.) The MRC, TRB, and the process established by this Order replace the CPIB.

3. Authority and Directives Affected. a. Authority. This Order is issued pursuant to sections 5122-5127 of the Clinger-Cohen Act [40 U.S.C. 1422-27]; section 3506 of the PRA [44 U.S.C. 3506]; section 11 of the Electronic Freedom of Information Act Amendments (E-FOIA) [5 U.S.C. 552(g)]; 5 U.S.C. 301; Reorganization Plan Number 6 (1950); and Executive Order 13011.

Attachment 1—Department of Labor: Technical Review Board Charter, June 2000

Preface

In November 1998, the Department's Management Review Council (MRC) approved the establishment of a two-tiered Information Technology (IT) investment review board structure to conduct Departmental IT investment management. The new structure replaces the Capital Planning and Investment Review Board (CPIB) with the MRC and a Technical Review Board (TRB). The two-tiered investment review board structure is designed to ensure compliance with the Clinger-Cohen Act and the Department's enhanced IT capital planning process. This Charter establishes the mission, objectives, membership, and responsibilities of the TRB. The TRB operating procedures are presented in the Department's IT Capital Investment Management Guide.

Mission

The Technical Review Board serves as the Department's first tier investment review board for above threshold information technology (IT) investments and as a forum to identify and resolve Department-wide IT-related issues. The TRB makes recommendations on the appropriate disposition of above threshold IT investments to the MRC based on standardized investment review criteria, with a focus on the technical feasibility of the investments. The TRB also serves as a forum to conduct Departmental IT strategic planning, IT architecture management, and IT capital planning process improvements via permanent committees.

Objectives

The objectives of the TRB are to ensure compliance with the IT capital planning provisions of the Clinger-Cohen Act by:

• Conducting IT investment analysis on above-threshold IT investments and recommending the disposition of those IT investments to the MRC;
• Establishing above threshold IT initiative review schedules and monitoring these IT investments throughout the control phase;
• Evaluating fully operational above-threshold IT initiatives by reviewing the results of post-implementation reviews conducted by IT initiative sponsors;

• Recommending to the MRC corrective actions for those above-threshold IT initiatives that are not performing in accordance with established cost, schedule, or technical performance parameters;
• Providing recommendations to the MRC on portfolio management;
• Providing input to the CIO and MRC on Departmental IT architecture management planning and IT capital planning process improvement activities;
• Identifying opportunities to minimize duplicate and overlapping information systems across the Department;
• Addressing common IT issues and recommending the resolution of these issues to the MRC.
