It also applies to Department of the Army Civilian employees and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Civil Works activities and tenants and volunteers in accordance with Section 1588, Title 10, United States Code and AR 608?1. During mobilization or national emergency, this regulation remains in effect without change.

Proponent and exception authority.

The proponent of this regulation is the Director of Army Staff. The proponent has the authority to approve exceptions or waivers to this regulation that are consistent with controlling law and regulations. The proponent may delegate this approval authority, in writing, to a division chief within the proponent agency or its direct reporting unit or field operating agency, in the grade of colonel or the civilian equivalent. Activities may request a waiver to this regulation by providing justification that includes a full analysis of the expected benefits and must include a formal review by the activity's senior legal officer. All waiver requests will be endorsed by the commander or senior leader of the requesting activity and forwarded through their higher headquarters to the policy proponent. Refer to AR 25?30 for specific guidance.

Army internal control process. This

regulation contains internal control provisions in accordance with AR 11?2 and identifies key internal controls that must be evaluated (see appendix D).
