WHAT SHOULD AN AGENCY INCLUDE IN THE PLAN IT SUBMITS TO THE OFFICE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY POLICY (OSTP)?
The order requires agencies to submit an implementation plan to OSTP by mid-October. OSTP expects the plan to highlight agency initiatives and activities designed to meet the objectives of the order, particularly in the areas of computer transfers and employee volunteer efforts (Section 3). The plan could also include a description of the steps for accessing schools, the criteria for targeting schools by need, the means for identifying and tracking excess computers available for transfer, and the specific information to be reported to GSA. The plan submitted to OSTP need not be lengthy, but should be informative.
