Sampling DefinitionsSampling Definitions
• The following definitions apply in the Assessment process:– Document – The record of an event or action that has occurred for an
employee. A document can be either paper-based or electronic. A document can be single or multi-paged.
– Page – A piece of paper that is either all or part of a paper-based document. A page can produce one or two electronic images.
– Image – The resulting electronic equivalent of one side of a page. The number of images will always be higher than the number of pages. However, due to the removal of blank back-sides and / or instruction pages, the average ratio of images to pages will be less than two to one.

• Common Issues• Agency Packing and Shipping Process• Conversion Contractor Process• Issue Folders• Folder Access During Conversion• Load Process
22
Common IssuesCommon Issues
Purpose:• Capture, digitize and index hardcopy OPFs
Common Conversion Issues:• Document Quality
– Bleed-Through– Corners of Pages Torn or Missing– Odd Sizes – brochures, pin-feeds, scraps of paper, etc.
• Forms– Unknown Form Types– Invalid Form Numbers– Forms Found on Wrong Folder Side
• Data– Key Values Missing– Incorrect SSN on Form– NOA Missing, Out of Range, or > 2 Shown of Form– Many Others…
23
Backfile Conversion – Physical ProcessBackfile Conversion – Physical Process
Agency Packing and Shipping Process:• Folder Purge*• Folder Preparation
– Agency reviews content and improves condition of OPFs*– Send SSN List to conversion vendor
• Conversion contractor provides boxes, box labels, bags and ties• Tape is not provided to seal the boxes• Packing and Inventory
– Agency packs boxes– Agency records SSNs in Web Inventory Tool– Agency prints 2 copies of manifest for each box – one goes in box, one
is retained by agency– Agency prints box label– Agency closes / secures box
• Shipping– Agency ships boxes to conversion vendor
* Dependent on agency requirements
24
Backfile Conversion – Physical ProcessBackfile Conversion – Physical Process
Shipping Process:• Shipping (when required)
– Agency releases boxes to shipping vendor – Agency monitors shipper tracking system*– Need to factor in international shipping requirements if required
• Boxes and Pallets• Approximately 15 OPFs can be held in one box (rough estimate)• A single 4’x4’ pallet can hold 36 boxes • Result = 720 OPFs per pallet• Pallets CANNOT be stacked
• Pallets per Truck / Trailer• Amount of pallets / truck varies based on the dimensions of the truck
or trailer• Number of trucks/trailers will be impacted by the total amount of
OPFs and your agency’s shipping schedule

25
Backfile Conversion – Physical ProcessBackfile Conversion – Physical Process
Conversion Contractor Process:
• Shipping Receipt / Reconciliation– Scan box labels to confirm receipt– Match SSNs on manifests to contents of boxes
• Inventory & Segment– OPFs are opened and sides are “batched”– SSN data is dual-keyed to produce segment sheets for OPF batches– Folders are re-boxed
• Document Preparation and Unitization*– Paper corrections – unfold corners, handle scraps, etc.– Documents are de-unitized – staple removal, etc.– Separator sheets are inserted between documents
* Dependent on agency requirements
26
Backfile Conversion – Physical ProcessBackfile Conversion – Physical Process
• Scanning– Pages are scanned (duplex) in their entirety at 300 dpi– Review of image quality, check for misfeeds, etc. – Run de-speckle, de-skew processes– Automated detection / removal of blank pages– Folders are moved to document de-prep
• Unitization– Automated process defines document breaks*
• Coding– Performed according to Business Rules and Master Forms List– Record metadata for images: SSN, Form Number, Form Type, NOA
Code (1), NOA Code (2), Effective Date
• Coding QC– Perform statistical sampling of representative data
• Delivery– Images converted to documents (.PDF) and associated metadata is
attached– Post documents and metadata to physical transfer media– Upload data to eOPF Host Server/SAN from transfer media
* Dependent on agency requirements
27
Backfile Conversion – Physical ProcessBackfile Conversion – Physical Process
• Document De-Prep– Standard OPM practice is to leave separator sheets in place and
rubber band the material back into the folder without reattaching the material to the Accobinder spines
Option: follow agency rules* Removal of batch cover pages Removal of separator sheets Placement back in Accobinders
– Validate OPFs against box manifests– Secure boxes for return to agency / storage location (NARA, etc.)*– Record tracking numbers in the system
• Document Release– Folders are returned to agency / storage location (NARA, etc.)*
• Reporting– Conversion metrics reports will be available
Total number of OPFs received, scanned, and delivered– Priority request and issue folder reports will also be provided
* Dependent on agency requirements
28
Backfile Conversion – Physical ProcessBackfile Conversion – Physical Process
Issue Folders:
• Mismatched SSN Documents– Paperwork from Person X in Person Y’s folder
– No independent effort is made to identify mismatched SSNs
• Identifier on Folder Does Not Match Top or Bottom Document– The SSN identifier on the outside of the OPF does not match the first nor last
document within the OPF
• Folders Within Folders– OPFs received with other folders inside, with the same SSN or a different SSN
• Empty Folders– OPFs received with nothing inside
• Agency Response to Issue Folders– Recommend having a designated resource available to address issue folders as
they come up
There is work associated with Issue Folders for the conversion contractor. Any issue folder encountered during conversion will result in an additional charge to the agency.
29
Backfile Conversion – Physical ProcessBackfile Conversion – Physical Process
Folder Access During Conversion:• Short Term Image Access
– During conversion, OPF access may be required – Inventory Tool – Available following segment inventory and scanning
steps. Request is sent for access to a specific SSN Limit on the number of requests which can be made per day (15) No charge to the agency if within the specified per day limits
• Emergency Folder Return– Release of OPF to the agency– Interruption in process
30
Backfile Conversion – Physical ProcessBackfile Conversion – Physical Process
Host Load Process:
• Data Receipt– Monitor data deliveries from conversion vendor
• Data Loads– Execute eOPF load processes via eOPF Load Utility– Monitor error logs– Report conversion/indexing issues to OPM
• Data Availability– Employees Have Immediate Access to Documents*
* Dependent on agency requirements
