Division (PSC-RPM), manages the following long-term, non-contingency

reimbursable agreement.
     c. Long-term ADOS-RC authorized by CG-131.
2. The long-term non-contingency ADOS assignment process mirrors the

ADOS are outlined below.
     a. ADOS Requestor responsibilities:
       (1) The ADOS requestor acquires funding from CG-8 as per REF B. IAW
REF A, the sponsoring unit or program is responsible for all ADOS costs,
such
as, pay and benefits, travel and per diem, and permanent change of station
(PCS)transfer costs (when applicable). Per REF B, requestors must work with
their respective ADOS cap managers to request ADOS position creation from 
CG-8 and submit the approved and funded ADOS requirements to PSC-RPM-2. A
valid position number is critical to the ADOS request, as it
ensures that funding has been approved by CG-8 for ADOS-AC or by CG-131
for ADOS-RC. ADOS requestors are required to contact their ADOS cap manager,

as identified in REF B.
       (2) Once funding and position number(s) are acquired, the unit
may submit a "Long-term Non-Contingency ADOS Request for Personnel
Support" form to:  ARL-SMB-LTNon-ContingencyADOS(at)uscg.mil.  ADOS cap
managers may submit this information on the requestor's behalf.  Allow a
minimum of 75 days in advance of the requested start date for sufficient
processing. The form is available on the PSC RPM-2 website:

       (3) If the same non-contingency, non-reimbursable ADOS requirement
will
exist for three consecutive years, then the sponsoring unit or program shall

submit a waiver request to CG-13 to continue resourcing the requirement as
outlined in article 6.f.(1) of REF A.
       (4) The sponsoring unit or program must completely exhaust all
alternatives to filling an ADOS requirement prior to submitting a waiver
request for a reservist they elect as a by-name-candidate who requires a

SELRES assignments, against short-term benefits of performing ADOS, and
are encouraged to contact their AO for assignment guidance.
