technical guidance, introduce new and innovative technology, or
provide mandatory requirements to implement laws, regulations,
executive orders, and policies prescribed by higher authority
documents. UFC also define performance and quality requirements
for facilities to support their mission throughout their life
cycle. UFC provide the most operationally effective, cost-
efficient, and safe criteria at the time of publication.
5.1.2 Issuance. UFC are issued under the authority of the
ESEP and are effective upon issuance. UFC will be reviewed
periodically, updated, and made available as part of the
departments' responsibility to provide criteria for military
facilities.
5.1.3 Approval. When a UFC is created or changed, it shall
be coordinated electronically among the participating
organizations identified in 4.4. It is the responsibility of the
PA and the DWG to produce UFC within the funds provided, meet
established schedules, obtain agreement of the participants, and
produce technically adequate documents. For disagreements that
cannot be resolved within the DWG, the matter shall be submitted
to the CP. Once criteria are developed and coordinated with
appropriate industry and service organizations, the PA will
forward the UFC to the CP for approval. A Unified Facilities
Criteria Coordination Sheet (which can be viewed at
www.wbdg.org/pdf/coord.pdf) will be signed by each service's
approving authority (the DWG representative) and the CP
chairperson. The CP chairperson requests concurrence by each ESEP
member electronically before approval. Upon approval, the PA will
forward an electronic file to the appropriate criteria manager
for distribution of the UFC as indicated in 4.5. Matters of
disagreement will be referred to the CP, and if necessary, to the
ESEP for resolution.
Designation of UFC on the Same Subjects. Criteria

on similar subjects that are not yet combined have an alpha
designation after the UFC file name: "N" for Navy, "A" for Army,
"F" for Air Force, and "S" for NASA (e.g., 1-300-05A). These
alpha designators facilitate management of criteria within the
participating organizations and provide identification within
WBDG and the Internet. The alpha designator does not mean the
documents are not UFC.
5.1.3.2
Designation of Other UFC. Where only one
participating organization has a criteria on a particular
subject, or where criteria have been combined into a single
document, those criteria are identified by the file name only
(e.g., 1-300-01) when approved by all participating organizations
in accordance with 5.1.3.
5.1.3.3
Draft UFC Review. After drafting a new or revised
UFC, the PA's technical representative shall provide an
