The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.federaltimes.com\/it-networks\/cloud\/2018\/06\/08\/whats-in-the-technology-modernization-boards-first-awards\/\" target=_blank>first set of awards<\/a> drained the fund of $45 million for projects across three agencies in June 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following the second set of awards, the fund has $31.7 million remaining, though board members will be able to award additional projects beyond that once the first sets of awardees begin paying back the fund as their modernization projects reap savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.federaltimes.com\/federal-oversight\/congress\/2018\/08\/01\/why-new-technology-modernization-funding-is-in-danger\/\" target=\"_blank\">uncertain whether the TMF will receive the additional $150 million<\/a> authorized in statute before the timeframe for its appropriations runs out, as some members of Congress want to see tangible results before approving more money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Department of Labor\u2019s $3.5 million will be used to digitize the agency\u2019s Labor Certification system, which authorizes American employers to hire foreign workers through visas to the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDOL anticipates this modernization will enable them to process applications faster while experiencing significant cost savings, increased efficiency and improved citizen-facing processes,\u201d the news release on the awards said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Department of Agriculture, which was already awarded $10 million to improve and enhance the <a href=\"http:\/\/farmers.gov\/\" target=_blank>farmers.gov<\/a> customer experience portal, will use its new $5 million award to work in infrastructure optimization and cloud adoption initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe project represents the beginning of cloud-enablement across USDA, migrating existing applications to the cloud and consolidating cloud expertise so that it can be leveraged enterprisewide. USDA anticipates it will have a greater ability to serve its mission across sites resulting in higher customer satisfaction, better security and lower cost of agency operations,\u201d the news release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The General Services Administration, which received the largest chunk of funding in the second round and also houses the fund itself, will use its $15 million to modernize its software applications and decouple itself from proprietary technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGSA anticipates it will have a greater ability to service its mission by making it easier to access actionable business information through the expansion of more flexible open-source technologies,\u201d the news release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The TMF has been at the center of many of the Trump administration\u2019s IT modernization initiatives, with board members emphasizing that they ideally want to fund <a href=\"https:\/\/www.federaltimes.com\/it-networks\/2018\/05\/22\/how-agencies-can-get-money-from-the-government-shark-tank\/\" target=_blank>projects that could have across government applicability<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Technology Modernization Fund plays a key role toward the <a

modernization efforts,\u201d said Margaret Weichert, deputy director for management in the Office of Management and Budget. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI am thrilled to see the
