Attachment 2
A2.2.2.2.1. The Base Civil Engineer's representative prepares permanent waiver requests and
obtains coordination from airfield management, flying and ground safety, flight operations,

on all proposed waiver requests prior to submission to the Major Command for their review and
action.
A2.2.3. Waiver Authority. Major Commands (MAJCOM) may waive deviations from criteria in this

the Air National Guard (ANG) is ANGRC/CEPD. This authority is not delegated below MAJCOM
