the flag level, Commandant (G-SCC) will work with Commandant (G-A-2) prior to
development of a Deployment Plan to ensure that the intent of the ECP process, which
is to determine the extent of SWIII baseline changes, is accomplished. The applicable
information may be extracted from the Deployment Plan to submit an ECP for SWIII
CCB review. The program sponsor shall submit the actual software product for
certification so that any changes to the standard image can be made, and standard
loading instructions can be developed.
c. If the change request is for modification or enhancement to the CG-wide standard
architecture/image for SWIII or the CGDN+ (Category A), the requestor shall submit an
ECP/SLC to the LCCB for preliminary evaluation. If the LCCB endorses the need, they
will send the ECP and Standard Lifecycle Cost worksheet forward to the SWIII CCB for
evaluation as outlined in paragraph 6.b above. If approved, TISCOM shall implement
the change subject to the availability of funds.
8. RESPONSIBILITIES. There must be a strong partnership between the MLCs,
Headquarters/units and Commandant (G-S) to ensure that standards are enforced in a way that
protects IT investments by the major programs and at the same time provide a degree of
flexibility to meet local computing requirements. Commandant (G-SIA) shall recommend
approval to develop and deploy Automated Information Systems (AIS) contingent on the
application being certified for deployment by TISCOM and the requesting program's agreement
to comply with this Instruction.
9. CONCLUSION. While SWIII enhances personal productivity, all personnel are reminded that
it is a corporate resource, not their personal property. The support organizations designated in
this Instruction are charged with managing the Coast Guard's investment in information
technology and ensuring that the technology provided to the users is reliable and secure in
meeting the corporate mission requirements.
10. FORMS/REPORTS. Two forms are required for submission of requests for changes to the
SWIII baseline. CG Form 5654 (3/99) with Reports Control Number 5200-1, is the ECP
Worksheet, and is attached as Enclosure (2). CG Form 5655 (3/99), Reports Control Number
5200-2, the System Lifecycle Cost (SLC) Worksheet, is attached as Enclosure (3). This
Instruction with enclosures can be located on the G-SCC web page, listed under SWIII
Configuration Management. In the future, these forms will be converted to JetForm Filler and
will be distributed with all other CG forms.
