Top 5 priority IT investments, FY26 Q3

Four of five investments are tracking on schedule and within ±5% cost variance. One investment (FERC-IT-014, Records Modernization) is at risk of slipping past Q4 due to a vendor staffing gap and a pending ATO.

Per investment

  • FERC-IT-007 — eFiling Resilience. Green · 23% ahead of milestones · burn 96% of plan PeopleSoft #1
  • FERC-IT-011 — Enterprise Identity (ICAM). Green · M-25-22 controls 47/51 implemented ServiceNow #2
  • FERC-IT-013 — Hydrogen Pipeline Analytics. Yellow · awaiting data-sharing MOU with DOE SharePoint #3
  • FERC-IT-014 — Records Modernization. Red · vendor staffing gap; ATO pending 11 days past target ServiceNow #2
  • FERC-IT-019 — AI Sandbox. Green · pilot enrollment 64% complete Workday #4

Recommendation

FERC-IT-014 needs an escalation to the OCIO PMO. I've drafted an issue brief, a request for vendor reallocation, and a 14-day get-well plan for review.

Good. Now show me the mission-critical workforce gaps we'd inherit if FERC-IT-014 keeps slipping.

Workforce exposure if FERC-IT-014 slips past Q4

The Records Modernization slip primarily exposes OSEC's Records & Information Management Branch and downstream OGC eDiscovery staff.

  • OSEC RIM Branch — 6 of 14 records analysts retire-eligible in FY27. Manual workaround load will jump est. +38%. Workday #1
  • OGC eDiscovery — 3 critical paralegal vacancies open ≥90 days. Slippage will push SLA on FOIA discovery from 11 → 18 business days. Workday #1 FOIA tracker #2
  • OCIO records ops — sustainment costs run +$240k/qtr while the legacy system stays live. PeopleSoft #3

Recommendation

Fast-track the 3 OGC paralegal hires (already cleared under EO 14213) and request a 90-day legacy-system O&M waiver from OCFO. I can prepare both packages for your signature.
