As required by law, the National Archives and Records Administration
(NARA) submitted its fiscal year 2008 expenditure plan in December 2007
to the congressional appropriations committees, seeking the release of
$38.3 million of multiyear funds for the Electronic Records Archive
(ERA).' ERA is a major information system that is intended to preserve
and provide access to massive volumes of all types and formats of
electronic records, including presidential records, independent of their
original hardware or software. NARA plans for the system to manage the
entire life cycle of electronic records, from their ingestion through
preservation and dissemination to customers.
Because of the system's complexity, NARA awarded a contract to
Lockheed Martin to develop ERA in phases, or increments, the first of
which was originally scheduled for completion in September 2007. In
response to schedule delays, NARA and Lockheed Martin agreed to a
revised schedule and strategy, consisting of a two-pronged development
approach as follows:
'ERA's fiscal year 2008 budget authority totaled $63.3 million which includes $4.4 million
carried over from multiyear funds and $800,000 from recoveries of prior year unpaid
obligations.GAO-08-1105 Information Management
