Memorandum 2021.07: Documentation of Updates for the Field Infrastructure (FLDI) Operation and Decennial Logistics Management (DLM) Operation

Memorandum 2021.07

This memorandum documents updates that have been made to the Field Infrastructure (FLDI) operation and Decennial Logistics Management (DLM) operation since the release of the Detailed Operational Plan (DOP) for the Field Infrastructure and Decennial Logistics Management operations on January 24, 2018. <https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/decennial/2020/program-management/memo-series/2020-memo-2018_03.pdf>. The only operational changes are to the Business Process Model (BPM) diagrams, and none of the updates are related to the COVID-19 pandemic. These updates clarify portions of the existing model and do not impact the conduct of the operation. The updates, summarized below, are provided to ensure accurate final documentation is available to the public.

  • For the FLDI operation, recruiting assistant (RA), office operations supervisors (OOS), and clerk position selectees were initially required to complete the electronic questionnaire for investigative processing (e-QIP) process through the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) as a part of their background check, however, the e-QIP requirement was waived for these positions when backlogs and processing times for e-QIP became unworkable for ramping up staff. [Affects steps 30.30.40, 30.30.80, and note for 30.30.81].
  • The DLM operation was performed as described in the DOP.
