1. This ALCOAST announces FY21 Reserve Additional Training Period (ATP)
allocations to amplify guidance from REF (A). Policies and management
responsibilities outlined in REFs (A) thru (D), and other Reserve related
instructions and manuals, 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 FY21 (from 01 OCT 20 to
30 SEP 21) without an approved waiver from COMDT (CG-R82).
3. SELRES members not assigned to PSUs, CORIVRONs and CORIVGRU must not
schedule ATPs. Supervisors of SELRES members must not approve paid ATPs, in
Direct Access (DA) without an authorized ATP allocation as outlined in
Paragraph 5.d. below or an approved waiver from COMDT (CG-R82). Waivers must be
submitted to POCs as outlined in Paragraph 10 of REF (A). SELRES members and
supervisors share equal responsibility to prevent unauthorized ATPs.
4. All ATPs must be scheduled in Direct Access on or before 01 MAY 2021,
IAW REF (A). Unauthorized paid ATP usage must be tracked in DA and commands of
SELRES members with unauthorized ATPs must 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 must use the ‘Correcting Paid IDT Drills’ Direct Access User Guide
and coordinate corrections with their servicing SPO.
5. FY21 ATP Allocations.
    a. PSUs, CORIVRONs and CORIVGRUs commands may allocate ATPs to assigned SELRES
members as needed to meet unit training requirements. Individual members must be
initially assigned no more than 12 ATPs in FY21. After training plans are
adjudicated by local commands, and with PAC-13 approval, unused ATPs may be
reallocated to members within the same command who have used their 12 ATPs and
need additional training periods to complete remaining training requirements.
Each PSU, CORIVRON, and CORIVGRU must not exceed the following amount of ATPs:
        (1) PSUs: 1,680
        (2) CORIVRONs: 100
        (3) CORIVGRUs: 100
    b. Boat force ATP allocation will be provided SEPCOR. COMDT (CG-731), in
conjunction with COMDT (CG-R82), must work with field units to determine ATPs
needed to ensure SELRES members are able to gain and maintain required
qualifications and certifications.
    c. All authorized IDT drills must be utilized prior to scheduling and
completing ATPs.
    d. Batching of ATPs is authorized with Command approval.
6. ATPs must be scheduled to be performed after all authorized IDT drills.
ATPs requested after 01 May 2021 require a waiver from COMDT (CG-R82).
