Statewide Communication 

Interoperability Plan (SCIP) for that 

State required by section 7303(f) of the

under the IECGP must annually submit 

to the Director of OEC a report on the 

progress of the State in implementing its 

SCIP and on achieving interoperability 

at the city, county, regional, State, and 

interstate levels. OEC is then required to 

make these reports publicly available (6 

U.S.C 579(m)). The SCIP 

Implementation Report Form is 

designed to meet these statutory 

requirements. SCIP Implementation 

Reports will be submitted electronically.
