NAVFAC for specific UFC requirements, unless noted otherwise.

requests related to the design, construction and modification
(including upgrades and major renovations) of buildings to

Command. The NAVFAC Engineering Innovation and Criteria Office,
acting under the authority of CHE will coordinate with key
stakeholders (such as HQUSMC, CNI, CFFC, and CNO) and other
authorities having jurisdiction (AHJ) and provide interpretation
of criteria and recommendations for approval/disapproval to CHE.
Requests failing to obtain NAVFAC endorsements recommending
approval will be returned to the requesting activity with copies
to the chain of command along with justification for the
disapproval. CHE will provide final approval for all waivers,
exceptions, exemptions, and deviations similar to the original
document approval.
