+The '' Federal Enterprise Architecture Framework (FEA)''' is a comprehensive framework used by the federal government of the United States to organize its information and resources to align government agencies' missions, programs, and processes with their strategic goals and objectives. It provides a common approach for the integration of strategic, business and technology management as part of organization design and performance improvement.<ref>Definition of FEA Framework [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_enterprise_architecture Wikipedia]</ref> The FEA provides a common language and approach for understanding and analyzing IT investments, improving collaboration and coordination across federal agencies, and enabling the delivery of technology services more efficiently and effectively. It aims to support cost savings, facilitate information sharing, and promote innovation within government operations by standardizing the development and management of federal IT architectures.

 The FEAF also provides direction for establishing "Federal segments", which are cross-agency business areas (such as international trade, grants, common patient records) that transcend federal agency boundaries.  These federal architectural segments collectively constitute the Federal Enterprise Architecture.
 The FEAF partitions a given architecture into business, data, applications, and technology architectures, as shown in the following figure.  The FEAF currently includes the first three columns of the [[Zachman Framework]] and the Spewak Enterprise Architecture Planning (EAP) methodology.
