EA creates, implements, and maintains information technology solutions in an efficient and innovative manner through shared and scalable products, platforms, and services. The Enterprise Content Management (ECM) program resides within the EA organization. OCIO provides leadership to the Department in all areas of information and technology management and supports Treasury's mission by implementing strategies that improve the efficiency and performance of Treasury information technology (IT) systems and business processes. Outbound Investment Security Program On August 9, 2023, President Biden issued the Executive Order (E.O. 14105) declaring a national emergency to address the threat to the United States posed by certain countries of concern, which seek to develop and exploit sensitive or advanced technologies or products critical for military, intelligence, surveillance, or cyber-enabled capabilities. The Order directs the Secretary of the Treasury to establish a program to prohibit or require notification of certain types of outbound investments by United States persons into certain entities located in or subject to the jurisdiction of a country of concern, and certain other entities owned by persons of a country of concern, involved in specific categories of advanced technologies and products. OCIO is tasked with developing a system for the Outbound Investment Security Program to facilitate the receipt and management of notifications submitted by US persons regarding investments in foreign countries in areas of critical technologies.
