MIL-STD-3007C
Waiver extension requests shall refer to previous correspondence
approving initial and previous extensions, as appropriate.
b. Requests for exceptions to specific requirements due to
permanent or long-term (36 months or longer) inability to meet a
specific requirement must be forwarded via the chain of command
through NAVFAC Echelon 2 commands to NAVFAC Headquarters for
consideration. Each exception request will include a description
of the problem and compensatory measures and procedures to be
employed. Exception requests will be reviewed and endorsed by
each echelon in the chain of command. If an endorser does not
recommend approval of the request, the endorser should return
the request to the originator. The same applies to any requests
for extension of previously approved long-term exceptions.
Correspondence that requests extension of previously approved
long-term exceptions will include a reference to the initial
NAVFAC approving correspondence.
c. In other countries the host nation may have ultimate
responsibility for certain aspects of criteria. For example, the
host nation may be responsible for perimeter security for Navy
activities located there, and Navy authorities may not be able
to implement certain requirements set forth in the antiterrorism
standards. In those instances, formal exceptions are not
required. However, the parent Echelon 2 command must review the
situation and determine what, if any, measures are appropriate
to take to compensate for measures not allowed by the host
nation.
d. The initiating command will assign a waiver or exception
number per subparagraph "e" below. All information requested
below must be provided in waiver, waiver extension, and
exception (permanent and long-term) requests. Requests will be
in letter format, and all elements of subparagraph "f" will be
specifically addressed. Non-applicable elements shall be noted
as "N/A."
e. Each waiver or exception request will include the
assignment of waiver or exception numbers in order to provide a
ready unique identification of any given waiver or exception
with respect to the activity involved and the initial year of
the request. Any request for extension of a previously approved
waiver or exception will use the same number assigned to the
original waiver or exception approval. Each waiver or exception
will be identified as follows:
