Request for Comments on Update to Data Center Optimization
Initiative (DCOI)
AGENCY: Office of Management and Budget.
ACTION: Notice of public comment period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is seeking public
comment on a draft memorandum titled ``Update to Data Center
Optimization Initiative (DCOI).''
DATES: Comments must be received on or before December 26, 2018.
ADDRESSES: Interested parties should provide comments at the following
link: https://datacenters.cio.gov/. The Office of Management and Budget
is located at 725 17th Street NW, Washington, DC 20503.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Bill Hunt at [email protected] or the
Office of the Federal Chief Information Officer at 202-395-3080.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is
proposing an update to M-16-19 Data Center Optimization Initiative. The
Federal Information Technology Acquisition Reform Act (FITARA) passed
in 2014, and required the Federal Government to consolidate and
optimize agencies' data centers until October 1, 2018. The Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) responded by issuing M-16-19 Data Center
Optimization Initiative (DCOI), which set priorities for data center
closures and efficiency improvements through the end of Fiscal Year
2018. The FITARA Enhancement Act of 2017 extended the data center
requirements of FITARA until October 1, 2020. As a result, OMB is
updating and extending the Data Center Optimization Initiative for
another two years.
This Memorandum contains requirements for the consolidation and
optimization of Federal data centers in accordance with FITARA. It
establishes consolidation and optimization targets and metrics for
Federal agencies, as well as requirements for reporting on their
progress. This policy will be available for review and public comment
at https://datacenters.cio.gov/.
Suzette Kent,
U.S. Federal Chief Information Officer.
