Category B Process
CATEGORY C USER REQUESTS: A SWIII user submits a request in accordance with MLC
and/or LCCB instructions. The LCCB is chaired by the Commanding Officer of the responsible
Electronics Support Unit (ESU), the Commanding Officer of a standalone Headquarters unit if that
unit is migrated as a single Windows NT domain, or the Commanding Officer, HSC for
Headquarters. LCCBs may have representatives from the primary operational and administrative
units within an NT domain. Exact composition and scheduling of a LCCB will be provided by
separate instructions issued by the MLCs, standalone Headquarters units, or HSC. If a requested
change requires no modification to Category A or B of the standard computing infrastructure and is
less than ,000 in lifecycle costs, the LCCB may elect to approve and implement in accordance
with their local procedures. The LCCB will provide TISCOM with information to update the
Knowledge Base prior to implementing the LCCB approved change. If the request for a local
change is estimated to be ,000 or greater as documented in the SLC, then the ECP and
SLC must be submitted to the SWIII CCB for approval. The organization sponsoring the
ECP for Category C changes is responsible for the support costs for those changes which do
not become part of the standard image and /or are application specific, such as the
purchasing of licenses for the approved local use of COTS software. Identifying the support
resources will be part of the ECP approval process.
