Electronic Official Personnel Folder (eOPF) 
Your electronic Official Personnel Folder (eOPF) will be available to the Promotion Boards for review. The eOPF includes documents such as your Commissioned Officers' Effectiveness Reports (COERs), Promotion Information Report (PIR), Curriculum Vitae (CV), license and certifications, and educational information. Please review your eOPF for accuracy as soon as possible! To ensure documents are included in your eOPF for promotion board review, you must fax materials to OCCO to either one of the following eOPF fax numbers no later than the deadline on the Promotion Checklist:
                          Fax:        301-480-1436       or        301-480-1407
Please include your name, PHS number, and category on the upper right-hand corner of all sheets. The fax cover sheet should have the officer’s name and PHS number, as well as the types of documents being faxed. The faxed documents enter an electronic workflow (no paper copies are produced). Thus, the resulting images are only as good as the fax machine used to submit the documents (streaks, crooked pages, etc., originate with the officer’s machine). Documents with various shades of contrast, highlighter marking, etc., do not fax well and cannot be read. OCCO relies on each officer to serve as the "quality assurance" check for his/her own eOPF. Officers are encouraged to print a fax confirmation sheet from their fax to verify documents were successfully faxed to OCCO.
Do not fax your documents mixed with documents from another officer. Mixed documents are very difficult for our file technicians to identify and index to the correct eOPF.
Officers are strongly encouraged to review the images in their eOPF to ensure that documents submitted were received (please allow 2-4 weeks for documents to appear in the eOPF), and that the eOPF is in proper order. NOTE: OCCO will NOT accept photographs, publication reprints, program agendas, and general promotion recommendations other than the Reviewing Official’s Statement for inclusion in the eOPF. Please submit documents as early as possible as the eOPF lines are extremely busy at the end of December.
If an officer believes that his/her eOPF contains errors, email concerns to OCCO at phsopffix@hhs.gov.
