Enclosure (11) to COMDTINST 5230.60A
SECTION 508 DETERMINATION AND CERTIFICATION FOR ELECTRONIC AND INFORMATION
TECHNOLOGY (EIT) PURCHASE REQUESTS
TO BE COMPLETED BY THE REQUIRING OFFICIAL (PURCHASE REQUESTOR)
National Security Exemption Certification
EIT for a National Security System.
1. Actions required. The requiring official must provide this completed document to the procurement
office with the purchase request.
2. Further explanation. See policy above.
Answer the questions below as fully as possible. The format may be expanded for additional space.
Relevant attachments are encouraged. Explanations must be sufficient to survive protests and litigation
challenges.
1. Name of national security/EIT system?
2. What percentage of time is this EIT system used for national security?
3. Describe what functions, other than for national security, this EIT system performs. Specify the percentage of
time used for each function that is not national security.
4. Indicate how the USCG will compromise the national security by complying with the provisions of the Section
508 standards. (Afloat, deployable and operational units and joint DOD and other government agency systems
do not need a response to this question.) If a cost issue related to the standards, rather than the standards
themselves, is the compromising factor use the Undue Burden exemption (Enclosure 12).
I, the purchase requestor, understand that statute imposes private enforcement, where individuals with
disabilities can file civil rights lawsuits against the Department of Transportation or applicable operating
administration in federal district court when EIT procured after June 21, 2001 does not meet Access Board
standards. I have determined and hereby certify that the commercial deliverables I require to have
procured are for a national security system.
