  • This section displays the Chief Information Officer (CIO) Risk ratings for the investment. CIOs rate each investment using a set of pre-established criteria and issue a CIO Evaluation Number that reflects the investment’s ability to accomplish its goals within the current fiscal year. This number ranges from 1 - 5, and the higher it is, the better the investment has been rated to meet its goals.
  • The Investment Details section views help answer questions about how an investment's financial resources are being utilized, and which funds are being assigned.
  • The IT spending visualization below provides the selected IT investment's spending over 5 fiscal years. The IT Investment's spending is further broken down by Operations & Maintenance (O&M) and Development, Modernization, and Enhancement (DME). For each listed fiscal year you will see:
    • Requested amount - The IT $ amount the agency requested from Congress in the President's budget request for that fiscal year.
    • Enacted amount - The IT $ amount Congress actually funded through that fiscal year's appropriation.
    • Actual amount - The IT $ amount the agency actually spent that fiscal year based on what was appropriated by Congress.
    The availability of data for each fiscal year will depend on where in the federal budget process we currently are, and will continue to be updated as the annual appropriations process progresses.
