Information Resources Management long-range plan

OSTI ID:6134136

The Information Resources Management (IRM) activities which support the diverse programmatic missions in the Department of Energy are complex. IRM requirements are continually changing to reflect changes in technology, policy, and program mission. Long-range planning for IRM has been developed to assure that adequate support is available for cost-effective accomplishment of mission objectives. IRM is vital to the successful accomplishment of the programmatic missions in the Department. This is evidenced by the fact that the estimated information technology resources (ITR) cost for FY 1991, approximately $1.58 billion, is about 9 percent of the total Departmental FY 1991 budget request, while the total estimated ITR cost for the entire Federal Government is less than 1.7 percent of the total Federal budget request for the same time period. Recognizing the ever-increasing importance of IRM to the Department, activities in this area were reorganized this year. This reorganization centralized IRM within DOE and created a clear division of responsibility between policy and operations. Management of the information technology resources within IRM (e.g., information systems, computing resources, and telecommunications) were consolidated with printing and publishing activities, records management, IRM standards, and telecommunications and unclassified computer security. The Office of Scientific and Technical Information continues to have the responsibility for information management support and direction for DOE's scientific and technical information. This Plan reflects this transition and, therefore, incorporates information on other areas of IRM, where information is available. The management plan and status of Information Systems, Computing Resources and Telecommunication Systems is provided with charts and graphs. 40 refs., 57 figs., 22 tabs.
