1. This ALCOAST lists the anticipated AY21 Training Allowance Billet (TAB)
allocations for military, non-senior service school, and academic programs in
support of Coast Guard advanced education requirements. Congress has not
released Coast Guard appropriations for FY21, accordingly, this ALCOAST
anticipates TAB allocations based on FORCECOM projections from previous
Coast Guard allocations in FY19 and FY20. Anticipated AY21 TAB allocations
in this ALCOAST remain subject to future modification by FORCECOM. Per
REFs (A) and (B), FORCECOM anticipates allocating 172 TABs for AY21.

7. Out Year Expectations: Fiscal stewardship in Advanced Education requires
participation from all stakeholders. FORCECOM relies on our customers to do
their part to reduce the total appropriated cost of an advanced education
opportunity. As an informed partner in the Advanced Education Program,
FORCECOM is required to operate the program at the level to which it is funded.
Starting in FY20, tighter fiscal controls were enacted, making a higher-cost
school waiver the exception vice the norm. No program can ever be guaranteed
an Advanced Education Training Allowance Billet (AdvEd TAB) or set of TABS,
however, cost-reduction measures will make your program more competitive during
the annual AdvEd TAB Panel and waiver process. Additional guidance will be
communicated to programs SEPCOR outlining a strategic way forward to continue
to meet the demands for an educated workforce, while accounting for the
inflationary nature of Advanced Education opportunities.
