Variance represents ~800 non-respondents

Still have a significant level of non-response to outstanding eQIP invitations Ames Contractor Council Meeting 3

BI’s -- Completing the remainder

Site managers will be engaged in ensuring the remaining BI actions are competed – Revised approach will be used for: • Contracts that are part of last wave of 500 e-QIP invites • Contracts in previous waves of e-QIP invites (1650) Ames Contractor Council Meeting 4

BI’s -- Completing the remainder

Revised Approach – Personnel Security Office (PSO) sending each site manager the complete PSO view of their contract (a listing of all employees) • List will indicate which employees currently meet BI requirements and those who have been “invited” to e-QIP – Site Manager will be instructed to: • Determine which employees have not completed the BI requirement • Take immediate action to ensure remaining BI’s are completed • Update the list to indicate which employees have completed the BI action (checkmark in the appropriate column) • Periodically submit the updated listing back to the PSO, with a copy to the Acquisition Division • Report any known inaccuracies to the PSO -- examples: – An employee who is known to have a BI from another assignment/agency » Important to identify agency, date, type of BI so PSO can verify – An employee who is believed to need a BI but the list does not indicate such – An employee who is missing from the list – A listed employee who no longer works for the employer – Contact information for employees with no contact information shown Ames Contractor Council Meeting 5

Enrollment

• Ames will start the Enrollment process very soon – Current plan is to conduct Enrollment by contract – Each contract would be allotted a certain time period based on size of contract, processing rate and other considerations – Employees will self-schedule using a web application – Site managers will be engaged to ensure employees both schedule and keep their appointment • The same list provided by the PSO to ensure BI actions are completed should be used by site managers to track enrollment progress – Only have enough time to make one pass through each contract – Employees who don’t schedule or keep an appointment without a legitimate reason will be processed only after other contracts and Civil Servants are completed • This may be after October 27, 2007 and with much less enrollment capacity (i.e., long wait times) Ames Contractor Council Meeting 6

New Badge Issuance

• Badge issuance will start a few weeks after Enrollment begins • Details on Issuance process will be provided at the next ACC Ames Contractor Council Meeting 7
