1.2: Web Resources Management
Ensure that Agency-wide web resources are managed efficiently. Other Information:
How does your agency currently ensure that Agency-wide web resources are managed efficiently (e.g. governance, technology/infrastructure,
hosting, staffing, operations, etc.)? Within the Department of the Treasury, each Bureau along with Treasury Headquarters
(Departmental Offices) is empowered to manage its own web program. This allows each to make the best decisions to meet its
mission given Bureau-specific constraints of time, money, and resources. Each Bureau’s public site functions are vastly different
from each other and from Headquarters and are more likely to be transaction and/or task based. Examples include, filing taxes
(IRS), buying savings bonds (Bureau of Public Debt), educating people on security features of new money (Bureau of Engraving
and Printing) selling commemorative products (both U.S Mint and Bureau of Engraving and Printing), and license application
management (Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau). Bureaus are also given the flexibility to decide whether web resources
within each Bureau are combined for external vs. internal web projects. Many web services/resources, however, are made available
agency-wide by Treasury Headquarters and are managed via a Working Capital Fund relationship. For example, the Department’s
main website, www.treasury.gov, serves as a gateway to the Department as a whole as well as to each of the Bureau websites.
Many Bureau popular tasks and initiatives are highlighted on the Department’s website to reinforce Bureau connections to the
Department. In addition, other shared services include: * E-Mail Subscription Service * Public Website Search * Public Cloud-based
Web Hosting * Treasury-wide Terms of Service for Social Media * Periodic Public Website Section 508 Accessibility Scanning
and Reporting * Second Level Domain Redirects (redirecting Treasury.gov to www.Treasury.gov)
