Director
  
SUBJECT: Comprehensive Plans and Associated Funding Requirements for Achieving Year 2000 Computer Compliance

This Memorandum asks Departments and agencies that are subject to year 2000 (Y2K) quarterly reporting requirements (see list at Attachment A) to provide OMB with their comprehensive plans and associated funding requirements for achieving Y2K compliance. Departments and agencies that are not subject to Y2K quarterly reporting should submit the requested information if Y2K conversion costs are projected to exceed those assumed in the FY 1999 Budget. The requested plans are due to OMB no later than Tuesday, September 1st.

The plans may also be used in the context of responding to congressional reporting requirements that may emerge as the appropriations process moves forward.

The following guidelines should be followed in developing the Y2K plans:
