1. IAW REF (A), this ALCOAST announces FY20 Reserve Additional Training
Period (ATP) allocations. The policies and management responsibilities
outlined in REFs (A) thru (D) apply.
2. Only Selected Reserve (SELRES) members assigned to Port Security Units
(PSU), Naval Coastal Riverine Squadrons (CORIVRON) and Naval Coastal Riverine
Groups (CORIVGRU) are authorized to perform ATPs with pay in FY20
(from 01 OCT 19 to 30 SEP 20) without an approved waiver from COMDT (CG-R82).
3. SELRES members not assigned to PSUs, CORIVRONs and CORIVGRU shall not
schedule ATPs in Direct Access (DA) without an approved waiver from COMDT
(CG-R82). Waivers shall be submitted to responsible POCs as outlined in
Paragraph 10 of REF (A). SELRES members shall not schedule ATPs, and
supervisors of SELRES members shall not approve paid ATPs, without an
authorized ATP allocation as outlined in Paragraph 5.d. below or an
approved waiver from COMDT (CG-R82). SELRES members and their supervisors
share equal responsibility for ensuring unauthorized ATPs are not scheduled
or completed.
4. Unauthorized paid ATP usage will be tracked in DA and commands of SELRES
members with unauthorized scheduled or completed ATPs will be notified.
Once a command is notified of, or discovers unauthorized ATP usage, the
unauthorized ATPs must be cancelled or corrected in DA to reflect IDT. When
correcting paid ATPs, commands should use the ‘Correcting Paid IDT Drills’
Direct Access User Guide and coordinate corrections with their servicing SPO.
5. FY20 ATP Allocations.
    a. PSUs, CORIVRONs and CORIVGRUs commands may allocate ATPs to assigned
SELRES members as needed to meet unit training requirements but shall not
exceed the individual SELRES member limit. Training requirements that will
exceed the FY20 unit ATP allocation require approval prior to scheduling to
determine if funding is available through COMDT (CG-R82).
    b. Boat force ATP allocation will be provided SEPCOR. COMDT (CG-731), in
conjunction with COMDT (CG-R82), will work with field units to determine
ATPs needed to ensure SELRES members are able to gain and maintain required
qualifications and certifications.
    c. Use of IDT drills should be maximized prior to scheduling and completing
ATPs.
    d. No SELRES member assigned to a PSU/CORIVRON/CORIVGRU shall complete more
than 12 ATPs in FY20.
    e. Batching of ATPs is authorized with command and PAC-13 approval.
6. IAW REF (A), the deadline for scheduling paid ATPs in Direct Access is
01 MAY 2020. However, ATPs shall not be performed prior to use of authorized
IDT drills. ATPs not scheduled by the 01 May 2020 deadline must be approved
by COMDT (CG-R82) through the waiver process.
7. Area/DOL/District POCs listed in REF (A) are responsible for managing the
administration of this message across their areas of responsibility. In
accordance with REF (D), Area/DOL/District funds managers are reminded that
it is a violation of the Antideficiency Act (ADA) to obligate or exceed funds
over the amount allotted to them. As such, obligations that are to exceed the
amount allotted to the Area/DOL/District funds managers shall not be made
without prior, explicit approval from COMDT (CG-R82). The following POCs are
