| Use Instructions |
As of the approval date, this data element will be used in any new automated system,
data set, database, or information application, including new Geographic Information
System (GIS) data and applications. This data element will also be used in any major
modifications to existing systems or versions of these data-related items that use the
four-character codes assigned by a Division of the Service to specifically identify and
track funding expenditures for sub-projects in the FFS. To ensure compliance with the Service Enterprise Architecture (SEA), Service staff are strongly encouraged to utilize this data element in existing systems, data sets, databases, and information applications. Where existing systems and data-related items are not in compliance, they should be modified to achieve compatibility and implement this data standard. In order for a sub-project to have a unique code in the FFS, the four-character sub-project number must be used in combination with the five-digit organization code, the four-digit subactivity number, and the four-character project code (e.g., 98692-1262-E026-0001). The sub-project number should always be used in conjunction with the primary project number. The Service data standard for Project Number can be viewed at this site. Project numbers and sub-project numbers will be handled as separate data fields in any new or modified automated system, and will not be combined in a single data field. |
