(1) The first six digits, beginning with the letter "N"
for Navy represent the Unit Identification Code (UIC) of the
activity initiating the request.
(2) The next digit is either "W" for waiver or "E" for
exception.
(3) The next two digits represent the serial number of
the request, beginning annually on 1 January with 01. Waiver and
exception numbers will run sequentially together, e.g., W01-04
followed by E02-04, then E03-04, W04-04, etc. This allows
activities in the reviewing chain of command to exercise their
discretion to change an exception request to a waiver request,
and vice versa, without having to re-coordinate the number with
the requesting activity.
(4) Original numbers assigned long term exceptions and
waivers will be used when requesting exception or waiver
extensions.
(5) The last two digits identify the calendar year of
the request. Example:
N01234-W01-04
N =
Navy activity
UIC=
01234 (Navy UIC)
W =
Waiver ("E" for exception)
01 =
1st waiver (or exception) request of
calendar year
04 =
2004 (year initial waiver/exception
requested)
