criteria. Additionally, G-ELM will approve any software CM application used to perform CM
functions.
2. Commandant (G-A) is responsible for ensuring that CM requirements, as specified in reference

size, quantity, intended use, and the mission criticality and requirements of the project.
3. Commandant (G-AT) will ensure that major acquisition projects have appropriately chartered
CCBs.
4. Commandant (G-O) and (G-N), Operational Managers and Facility Managers, shall participate
in project CM efforts, early in the acquisition phase, to ensure smooth transition from an

operational status.
6. Commandant (G-T) is responsible for ensuring that the degree of CM applied to electronics
equipment, computers and peripherals, as well as operating system, office automation and

mission criticality of the equipment. G-T shall insure that all information for these systems to
support accountable property requirements shall be maintained in the approved Coast Guard
property system. G-T shall participate in project CM efforts when CM efforts are initiated to
facilitate the transition from acquisition project to operational status.
