8. Why SGDB $100,000 One-Time Fund Request? April 2006 October 1, 2006 October 1, 2006 thru September 30, 2007 ► BIA notified OSG that FY 2007 FFS cost codes will be restructured to meet BIA’s new cost code requirements. FFS will launch new cost codes and new aggregate accounts for OSG to separate Unified Trust Budget (UTB) program line items. ► SGDB must be redeveloped to meet the new FFS budget restructure. SGDB is 14 years old and its platform and architecture will not accommodate new code structure and functionality. Funds are needed to redevelop SGDB. ► Existing FY 2006 FFS cost code structure will continue for 12 months until FY 2006-2007 expires. Consequently, SGDB will need to run dual systems with different code structures and maintenance tables.
