Additionally, our investment in DOT will help improve a system accessed by thousands of air travelers each year,\u201d TMF Executive Director Raylene Yung said in a Friday statement.<\/p>\n<p>The TMF, housed within GSA, is focused on improving technology across the government and currently manages 47 investments in 27 federal agencies. It received a $1 billion infusion through the American Rescue Plan and $255 million through the annual budget process. Previous investments included a <a href=\"https:\/\/fedscoop.com\/tmf-awards-50-5m-for-cybersecurity-cx-investments\/\">$50.5 million<\/a> round of funding for cybersecurity and customer experience investments at five agencies in July and <a href=\"https:\/\/fedscoop.com\/tmf-cyber-cx-projects-october\/\">$20.8 million<\/a> for similar projects at three agencies in October 2022.<\/p>\n<p>The House Oversight Committee recently advanced a <a href=\"https:\/\/fedscoop.com\/technology-modernization-fund-bill-to-continue-through-house\/\">bipartisan bill<\/a> that would extend the TMF\u2019s authorization through 2030 and would require agencies to refund or reimburse investments to maintain the solvency of the fund.<\/p>\n<p>The DOT investment will specifically go to the Office of Aviation Consumer Protection (OACP), which will use the funds to enhance a system that tracks consumer complaints and tracks cases for \u201cthousands of consumers each year,\u201d according to a release.<\/p>\n<p>Blane Workies, OACP\u2019s assistant general counsel, said in a release that the modernized system will \u201cmake it easier for consumers to know their rights and file air travel service complaints should problems occur, while enhancing OACP\u2019s ability to analyze these complaints and enforce aviation civil rights and consumer protection laws.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, FTC\u2019s project is focused on its system that issues \u201cregistration numbers to U.S. based businesses to identify who manufactured, imported, distributed, or sold a covered textile, fur, or wool product.\u201d  The TMF funds will be used to \u201cmodernize the Registration Number System by developing a user-friendly cloud application.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mark Gray, FTC\u2019s chief information officer, said in a release that completion of the project would \u201cmark a critical milestone \u2013 all FTC applications accepting incoming traffic will have been migrated to the cloud.\u201d Gray said the funding will improve the agency\u2019s security and move it closer to its \u201czero trust\u201d goals, which has been a focus of the Biden administration.<\/p>\n<footer class=\"single-article__footer\">\n<\/footer><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\r\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-8162386273903324\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7859258044\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/fedscoop.com\/tech-modernization-fund-awards-9m-in-air-travel-textile-industry-consumer-protection-investments\/\">READ SOURCE<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Consumer protection systems operated by the Department of Transportation and Federal Trade Commission will receive just over $9 million in combined funding from the General Services Administration-led Technology Modernization Fund.
