What is the schedule for updating a procedural directive?
Ninety calendar days prior to a directive’s anniversary date, CFO3 sends out a reminder notice to the OPR to complete the update process before the end of the biennial (two year) cycle. The anniversary date is based on the effective date on the directive. The OPR produces a final version of the directive by day 60 in the 90-day update cycle. Coordination with affected offices as well as dispute resolution are completed by this time. The last 30 calendar days of the 90-day update cycle are reserved for General Counsel for Weather (GCW) and union coordination and signature by the approving official.
