Operational Plan

The goal of the Operational Plan is to assist law enforcement agencies in defining roadways and locations where enforcement efforts will be concentrated when working on a STEP yearlong project.
Potential subgrantees proposing a STEP yearlong project must complete the Operational Plan, located on the Operational Plan page of the proposal. For assistance in completing the Operational Plan, see Operational Plan Instructions located on the eGrants Help Page.
Any modification made to the Operational Plan after the grant is executed does not require an amendment to the grant agreement. However, the subgrantee must follow the Operational Plan modification procedures found in “Supplemental Approvals” before any enforcement is conducted in the related sites.
The Operational Plan is located under “Supplemental Approvals,” and can be found under “Examine Related Items” (beneath “All Submitted and/or Approved RFRs”). To submit an amended Operational Plan, follow the steps outlined below.
  1. Select “Create New” under “Supplemental.”
  2. Select “I Agree,” when prompted “Are you sure you want to create a Supplemental Report?”
  3. Under “View, Edit, and Complete Forms,” choose “Operational Plan.”
  4. Follow the instructions and complete the Operational Plan form and enter “Save.”
  5. Complete the checklist request process by changing the status of the form (found under “Change the Status”) to “SR Submitted.”
Once the status of the request has been changed to “SR Submitted,” the request will be electronically forwarded to the appropriate Project Manager for review. Once the Operational Plan has been approved, the requesting agency will be notified and then will be able to conduct enforcement in the modified sites.
