3 MANAGEMENT PROCEDURES FOR UNIFIED FACILITIES CRITERIA (UFC)

31 Purpose UFC are developed by individual disciplineworking groups and are approved by the CP UFC may containtechnical guidance introduce new and innovative technology orprovide mandatory requirements to implement laws regulationsexecutive orders and policies prescribed by higher authoritydocuments UFC also define performance and quality requirementsfor facilities to support their mission throughout their lifecycle

32 Issuance UFC are issued under the authority of theESEP and are effective upon issuance UFC will be periodicallyreviewed updated and made available as part of the Servicesresponsibility to provide criteria for military facilities

33 Approval Once criteria are developed andcoordinated with appropriate industry and Service organizationsthe preparing activity will forward the UFC to the CP forapproval A ldquoUnified Facilities Criteria (UFC) Quality AssuranceChecklistrdquo will be signed by each Service Approving Authority(the DWG representative) and the CP Chairperson Upon approvalthe preparing activity will forward an electronic file to theappropriate criteria manager for distribution of the UFC asindicated in paragraph 26 Matters of disagreement will bereferred to the CP and if necessary to the ESEP forresolution

34 Records Maintenance Each Service is responsible formaintaining records of current and superseded UFC includingrevisions for each UFC they prepare

35 UFC Validation Copies of UFC printed fromelectronic media should be checked against the current electronicversion to ensure that the latest criteria are being used

36 Feedback User comments and recommended changesto UFC with rationale for the changes should be sent to theusers Service criteria office at the relevant address

4 MANAGEMENT PROCEDURES FOR UNIFIED FACILITIES GUIDESPECIFICATIONS (UFGS)

41 UFGS System The UFGS system includes allconstruction guide specifications currently maintained by theheadquarters offices of the participating organizations Theremay be more than one guide specification on the same subjectuntil those specifications are converted into combined UFGSThese specifications have a UFGS designation preceding thesection numbers in their banners (eg UFGS-12345) New andrevised UFGS shall be prepared using SpecsIntact in accordancewith UFC 1-300-02 Unified Facilities Guide Specifications FormatStandard

411 Designation of UFGS on the Same SubjectsSpecifications on similar subjects that are not yet combinedhave an alpha designation after the UFGS section file name asfollows ldquoNrdquo for Navy ldquoArdquo for Army and ldquoFrdquo for Air Force(eg 05500A) These alpha designators facilitate management ofspecifications within the participating organizations and provideidentification within the CCB the Internet and the SpecsIntactsystems The alpha designator does not mean the documents arenot UFGS

412 Designation of Other UFGS Where only oneparticipating organization has a guide specification on aparticular subject or where specifications have been combinedinto a single document those specifications are identified byonly the five-digit section file name (eg 09970) when approvedby all participating organizations in accordance with paragraph43 ldquoDocument Approvals and Publicationrdquo

413 Preparing Activity (PA) Assignments Each UFGSshall be assigned a PA in accordance with agreements within theDWG and as approved by the CP Each PA shall maintain the UFGSfor which it is assigned in accordance with the policies of itsorganization and these management procedures The PA shall beidentified in the banner of each UFGS

414 UFGS Master Databases Each participatingorganization shall maintain a separate master database of theUFGS sections for which it is responsible Database Managersfrom each participating organization shall provide updated andnew UFGS to the System Database Manager for monthly updates tothe Internet index Formal release of updated and new UFGS onCCB by CD-ROM and DVD will occur on a semi-annual basis

415 UFGS System Master A single UFGS System Mastershall be maintained by the System Database Manager The UFGSSystem Master shall be derived from the separate UFGS Databasesof each participating organization The System Database Managershall incorporate changes provided by the participatingorganization Database Managers perform all release processingprepare all CCB and Internet indexes and perform other functionsassociated with maintenance of the UFGS System Master

416 UFGS Master Index A UFGS Master Index shall bemaintained on CCB and on the Internet with links to the actualdocuments The Database Manager develops the Internet index andlinks it to the compressed SEC files and to the PDF filesresiding in the UFGS Master server
