AIS Approval. For an AIS that requires Commandant(G-TIS) approval as discussed
above, an AIS Proposal must be prepared following the format of enclosure (1) and
submitted to Commandant(G-TIS). System acquisition and development may not
proceed until written approval is received from Commandant(G-TIS). AIS Proposals will
be reviewed and a response provided within thirty days of receipt. AIS Proposals must
contain sufficient detail to allow responsible review; however, the early submission of a
Preliminary AIS Proposal is strongly encouraged. As soon as concepts are developed for
an AIS which will require Commandant(G-TIS) approval, a Preliminary AIS Proposal
should be submitted to involve Commandant(G-TIS) as early as possible in the planning
process. A Preliminary Proposal should follow the format of enclosure (1), but the
information submitted may be identified as "to be developed" or "conceptual" as
appropriate. The submission of a Preliminary AIS Proposal does not remove the
requirement for subsequent submission of a AIS Proposal to Commandant(G-TIS) for
approval.

instruction shall provide notification, submit a Preliminary AIS Proposal or AIS Proposal for
approval of Commandant(G-TIS).
