6. Service needs will drive the final number of candidates 
screened for available AY19 positions. 
7. The SCSP will be held prior to the SEFP.  Officers are 
eligible to screen for SEFP programs (such as SSS, Sloan, 
MIT-SDM, etc.) in addition to command.  PSC-OPM will engage 
directly with those selected for both and work to balance 
Service needs with member desires in making a final 
assignment recommendation. 
8. SCSP application procedures on how to request to screen 
for the AY19 SCSP are provided on the CG Portal in the OPM 
Reference Library in the AY19 Senior Command Screening 
Panel Folder at http://cglink.uscg.mil/bf031533.  In

paragraph 14. Each member must follow up with a panel 
submission as soon as DA connectivity is available. 
10. ELIGIBILITY CONFIRMATION AND WAIVER REQUESTS: PSC-OPM 
will release an initial candidate confirmation message on 
or about 16 JUL 2018 listing all members who have requested 
and are found eligible to screen for command. Since Ref A 
and the screening request procedures cannot cover every 
possible situation concerning eligibility, PSC-OPM will 
consider waiver requests on a case-by-case basis while 
remaining consistent with the intent of the approved 
criteria.  For those requesting a tour completion waiver, a 
command endorsement addressing early rotation is required.  
For those requesting a waiver for eligibility requirements 
(other than tour completion date) outlined in
Ref A, the applicant should address it in the member 
comments. Command endorsements are not seen by the 
selection panel and are only used by OPM for the purpose of 
establishing the candidate pools.  Officers should enter 
waiver request information in step I of the panel 
submission procedures.  The initial candidate confirmation 
message will include the names of the candidates with 
approved waivers. 
11. Officers that fail to adhere to the 15 JUN 2018 
application deadline will not be eligible to screen. 
12. All members should verify their DA information is up to 
date and accurate. 
13. For questions regarding the SCSP process or waiver 
requests, please contact the SCSP Coordinators, LCDR
