Annual Plan Fiscal Year 2020
Annual Plan Fiscal Year 2020 OIG-CA-20-008 Office of Inspector General Department of the Treasury Foreword This annual plan outlines the fiscal year (FY) 2020 Department of the Treasury (Treasury or the Department) Office of Inspector General (OIG) audit and investigative priorities. The planned work focuses on Treasury’s major initiatives and challenges, and takes into consideration OIG’s Strategic Plan for Fiscal Years 2018–2022. As this plan illustrates, we have prioritized our resources to provide oversight of the most significant and highest-risk Treasury programs and operations across our jurisdictional boundaries. For FY 2020, our oversight efforts will place top priority on: (1) operating in an uncertain environment; (2) cyber threats, (3) anti- money laundering/terrorist financing and Bank Secrecy Act enforcement, (4) efforts to promote spending transparency and to prevent and detect improper payments, and (5) information technology acquisition and project management. Areas of emphasis for FY 2020 include oversight mandated by law such as the Inspector General Act of 1978, as amended, the Government Management Reform Act of 1994, the Federal Information Security Modernization Act of 2014, the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, and the Improper Payments Elimination and Recovery Act of 2010. Additionally, we will continue to perform audit work related to Treasury’s responsibilities under the Digital Accountability and Transparency Act of 2014. The projects described in this plan address areas of known and emerging risk and vulnerabilities. As in the past, we encourage Department and bureau management to use this plan for areas of self-assessment.

Agriculture Big Data (Agbd) Challenges and Opportunities from Farm to Table: a Midwest
Agriculture Big Data (AgBD) Challenges and Opportunities From Farm To Table: A Midwest Big Data Hub Community† Whitepaper Shashi Shekhar1, Patrick Schnable2, David LeBauer3, Katherine Baylis4 and Kim VanderWaal5 1 Dept. of Computer Science & Engineering, University of Minnesota, Twin Cities 2 Dept. of Agronomy, Dept. of Genetics, Development and Cell Biology, Iowa State University 3 Carl R. Woese Institute for Genomic Biology, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign 4 Dept. of Agricultural and Consumer Economics, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign 5 Dept. of Veterinary Population Medicine, University of Minnesota, Twin Cities Abstract: Big data is critical to help agriculture meet the challenges of growing world population, climate change and urbanization. Recent success stories include precision agriculture, phenotyping, and global agricultural monitoring. Many of these initiatives are made possible by novel data sources such as satellite imagery, instrumented tractors and initiatives such as the Global Open Data for Agriculture and Nutrition (GODAN). This whitepaper surveys agricultural big datasets, characterizes their limitations, lists transformative opportunities and suggests a plan to engage and nurture Agriculture Big Data (AgBD) research community. Public big data includes satellite imagery (e.g., Earth on Amazon Web Services, Google Earth Engine), surveys (e.g., National Agricultural Statistics Service), financial statistics (e.g., Economic Research Service), social media (e.g., Twitter), etc. Private datasets describe yield (e.g., precision agriculture, Farm Service Agency), farm loss (e.g., Risk Management Agency) and condemnation (Food Safety and Inspection Service), etc. Limitations include data and metadata gaps, insufficient data storage, preservation, and documentation, lack of scalable spatiotemporal big data analytics methods, and inadequate secure data-sharing mechanisms. -
Financial Assistance for Farm Operations and Farm Households in the Face of COVID-19
COVID-19 Working Paper #AP-090 July 2021 COVID-19 Working Paper: Financial Assistance for Farm Operations and Farm Households in the Face of COVID-19 Anil K. Giri, Tia M. McDonald, Dipak Subedi, and Christine Whitt This paper has been published through USDA Economic Research Service’s (ERS) COVID- 19 Working Paper series. ERS’ temporary Working Paper series is designed to publicly release preliminary analyses relevant to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on agriculture, food, the environment, and rural America in a timely manner. ERS’ COVID-19 Working Papers have not undergone the review and editorial process generally accorded official ERS publications, but they have been reviewed by ERS economists and social scientists through an expedited review process. Page | 1 COVID-19 Working Paper Financial Assistance for Farm Operations and Farm Households in the Face of COVID-19, AP-090 USDA, Economic Research Service Abstract On March 13, 2020, the U.S. Federal Government declared a national emergency based on the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The Government’s response included providing assistance programs related to the economic impacts of COVID-19. This study estimates the total direct Government assistance to farm operations and farm households in calendar year 2020 from COVID-19 related programs, the Market Facilitation Program (MFP), and other existing Farm Bill (FB) programs. The insights from this study supplement the triannual U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Economic Research Service (ERS) farm income forecasts by providing stakeholders more forecasting details, including information regarding the distribution of Federal payments and eligibility. This working paper further documents methodologies relevant for a timely update of similar payments in the future. -

Integrating Nasa Satellite Data Into Usda World Agricultural Outlook Board Decision Making Environment to Improve Agricultural Estimates
INTEGRATING NASA SATELLITE DATA INTO USDA WORLD AGRICULTURAL OUTLOOK BOARD DECISION MAKING ENVIRONMENT TO IMPROVE AGRICULTURAL ESTIMATES 4 l William Teng l.2, Harlan Shannon3, Richard de Jeu , Steve Kempler IGoddard Earth Sciences Data and Information Services Center, Goddard Space Flight Center, NASA, Greenbelt, MD 20771, United States 2Wyle Information Systems, Inc., 1651 Old Meadow Road, McLean, VA 22102, United States 3World Agricultural Outlook Board, USDA, Washington, DC 20250, United States 4Department of Hydrology and Geo-environmental Sciences, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, 1081 HV Amsterdam, The Netherlands Will iam.L.1'[email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; Steven.] [email protected] ABSTRACT The USDA World Agricultural Outlook Board ('AI AOB) is responsible for monitoring weather and climate impacts on domestic and foreign crop development. One of WAOB 's primary goals is to determine the net cumulative effect of weather and climate anomalies on final crop yields. To this end, a broad array of information is consulted. The resulting agricultural weather assessments are published in the Weekly Weather and Crop Bulletin, to keep farmers, policy makers, and commercial agricultural interests informed of weather and climate impacts on agriculture. The goal of the current project is to improve W AOB estimates by integrating NASA satellite precipitation and soil moisture observations into WAOB's decision making environment. Precipitation (Level 3 gridded) is from the TRMM Multi-satellite Precipitation Analysis (TMPA). Soil moisture (Level 2 swath and Level 3 gridded) is generated by the Land Parameter Retrieval Model (LPRM) and operationally produced by the NASA Goddard Earth Sciences Data and Information Services Center (GBS DISC). -
Agricultural Credit: Institutions and Issues
Agricultural Credit: Institutions and Issues April 21, 2021 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R46768 SUMMARY R46768 Agricultural Credit: Institutions and Issues April 21, 2021 A variety of lenders from the federal government to commercial banks make loans to farmers. The federal government provides credit assistance to farmers who cannot obtain loans elsewhere, Jim Monke and helps assure credit availability across rural areas. At Congress’s direction, federal farm loan Specialist in Agricultural programs target beginning farmers and socially disadvantaged groups based on race, ethnicity, or Policy gender. Description of Lenders The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Farm Service Agency (FSA) is a small but important lender for family-sized farms that do not qualify for credit elsewhere. FSA also guarantees payments on some loans made by other lenders. At the end of FY2019, FSA had a portfolio of $12 billion of direct loans to 87,000 borrowers and loan guarantees of $16 billion for 39,000 borrowers. Thus, out of the $423 billion market for farm debt, FSA had a direct market share of 3% of loans and loan guarantees that covered about another 5% of the market. For FY2021, annual appropriations support $9.9 billion of new FSA direct loans and guarantees. The Farm Credit System (FCS) has the next-largest amount of government intervention. FCS is a private lender with a federal charter and a statutory mandate to serve creditworthy farmers, certain agribusinesses, cooperatives, and rural homeowners in towns with less than 2,500 population. At the end of 2020, FCS had a total loan portfolio of $315 billion, including over $190 billion of farm loans (43% of farm debt). -
