MANAGEMENT AND INFORMATION
TECHNOLOGY IMPROVEMENTS
+ $74.5 million in Enhancements
Overview
The Department of Justice is committed to providing the management and information

technology support necessary to ensure that our resources are used as efficiently and as
effectively as possible. The FY 2008 President’s Budget requests $74.5 million in enhancements
for critical Department-wide initiatives that support the Department’s Strategic Goals and the
President’s Management Agenda.
Enhancements in management and information technology improvements will ensure all DOJ
components are able to function in an interoperable environment, particularly with respect to
preventing terrorist attacks on the United States. The FBI has requested infrastructure
enhancements to expand its law enforcement capabilities and modernize and improve critical
infrastructure. Specific initiatives include: headquarters capital improvement projects; programs
providing adequate information sharing across law enforcement and homeland security agencies;
and other information technology upgrades and improvements.
The following information summarizes key enhancements. More detailed information is

available in the FY 2008 Budget and the agency budget submissions. The number of current
services positions reflects estimates that may change once final staffing decisions have been
determined.
Enhancements
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)
• Next Generation Identification (NGI) Systems: $25.0 million in non-personnel

funding to support second phase development of the Next Generation, Integrated
Automated Fingerprint Identification System (IAFIS) initiative. The requested resources
would be used for design and development of the second set of modular builds to allow
for operational capability by the end of FY 2008. NGI will improve IAFIS speed and
accuracy, enhance the Criminal History Record Information Database, and allow for
Latent Palm Print capabilities. FY 2008 current services resources for this initiative are
$39.8 million and 23 positions; total FY 2008 resources are $64.8 million and 23
positions.

• Interoperability: $10.0 million in non-personnel funding to support the continued
development of Interoperability for the Department of Homeland Security’s Automated
Biometric Identification System and the FBI’s IAFIS. An interim interoperable solution
became operational in 2006. These funds would be used to add additional capabilities
and to purchase hardware, software, and contract services. FY 2008 current services
resources for this initiative are $36.1 million and 3 positions; total FY 2008 resources are
$46.1 million and 3 positions.
• Operational Enterprise Services: $10.0 million in non-personnel funding to continue

replacing FBI desktops, laptops and printers; for network upgrades and an Enterprise
Management System; and for contractor support for other IT application initiatives.
FY 2008 current services resources for this initiative are $6.1 million and 6 positions;
total FY 2008 resources are $16.1 million and 6 positions.
• Chief Information Officer Management: $7.5 million in non-personnel funding to

provide resources to effectively budget, plan, acquire, manage, and transition IT projects
for the Office of the Chief Information Officer, and for contractor support and materials.
The FBI has been pressed with greater urgency to implement government-wide best
practices for IT portfolio and investment management and program management.
Information Technology is an essential enabler for the FBI’s intelligence and law
enforcement missions and the requested funding will ensure that the FBI is taking
advantage of the most effective technologies and has the business processes in place to
meet strategic mission goals. FY 2008 current services resources for this initiative
$7.9 million and 5 positions; total FY 2008 resources are $15.4 million and 5 positions.
• FBI Headquarters Annex: $7.5 million in non-personnel funding for the acquisition
and build-out of an FBI Headquarters Annex and to provide technical support services
and reduce security risks at the FBI Headquarters building and offsite locations. FY 2008
current services resources for this initiative are $1.7 million (non-personnel); total
FY 2008 resources are $9.2 million (non-personnel).
• Technical Revitalization Program: $5.0 million in non-personnel funding to prevent

the obsolescence of the FBI Information Technology infrastructure. The request
specifically provides funding for the refreshment of the FBI’s desktops, laptops, servers
and printers, and copier device maintenance and replacement. With additional funding,
the FBI will minimize obsolescence and hardware failures, and maintain a level of
readiness needed for the enterprise to accomplish the mission. FY 2008 current services
resources for this initiative are $19.5 million and 6 positions; total FY 2008 resources are

enforcement agencies to collaborate across agency, jurisdictional and geographic
boundaries. FY 2008 current services resources for this initiative are $5.0 million (base
transfer from Justice Information Sharing Technology account); total FY 2008 resources
are $10.0 million (non-personnel).
• Central Records Complex: $4.0 million in non-personnel funding to support General

Services Administration (GSA) lease requirements for the construction of the permanent
Central Records Complex, planned to break ground in FY 2008. Funding is required for
the payment of inherently governmental items associated with the construction of the
facility, such as fencing, vehicle barriers, and guard booths. These funds are required by
GSA at the time the lease is awarded. Failure to obtain these funds would delay the start
of construction and delay the targeted FY 2010 occupancy. There are no FY 2008 current
services resources for this initiative.

aerial photography will support Southwest enforcement by providing associated imagery
and textual data pertaining to the “people” entity, such as name, date of birth, tattoos,
vehicle, arrests, border-crossings, fraudulent birth certificates and gang-related
information. In addition, the IRM Project will capture imagery and textual data related to
drug packages and drug markings used by individual organizations as well as aerial
images of land information. The IRM project will be fully integrated into the EPIC Open
