The Technology Modernization Fund Board awarded a total of $9 million to the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) and the Selective Service System (SSS) from the $1 billion in the American Rescue Act Plan.
The SSS received more than $5.9 million, including an initial transfer of more than $1.8 million, to modernize its registration, compliance, and verification (RCV) software and data architecture in the cloud, enhance its cybersecurity protection and performance capabilities and improve the application’s public-facing user experience.
The PRC received a loan of more than $2.6 million, including an initial transfer of more than $2 million that plans to use the award money to move applications to the cloud and develop three platforms: a new public-facing website, a modern docket system, and a data management system. The commission hopes the modern systems will make it easier for the public to access and participate in its proceedings and give its staff the resources to provide transparent and effective oversight of the U.S. Postal Service’s operations.
“This funding will allow the PRC to modernize internal and public-facing tools and give their customers a better digital experience. And it will allow SSS to move quickly to scale technical operations to meet the nation’s needs through a cloud-first software and data architecture that protects the data of millions of customers,” said Clare Martorana, the Federal Chief Information Officer and Chairwoman of the board, in a statement.
