c.
The "SHARP" Program is designed to provide special recognition to those individuals
who have demonstrated a commitment to the program through "active and significant"
support of Workload Management as embedded throughout the Strategic Plan, 1999. A
copy of the Strategic Plan, 1999 is published on the Internet at www.uscg.mil/org.html.
d.
All recipients will receive special recognition from one of the members of the
Leadership Council, in the form of a letter of appreciation and a "SHARP" memento.
The "SHARP" program is not intended to replace the existing Awards Program, but
rather, to provide prompt recognition for the intended recipient. Individuals may
receive both "SHARP" recognition and a military/civilian award, if appropriate, for the
same outstanding effort.

DISCUSSION.
a.
The Coast Guard's Workload Management Program is a long-term, systematic approach
to "engage in a comprehensive, service-wide initiative to better manage workload
through process improvement, reduction, and balance." We will aggressively seek out
innovative ways to improve the quality of life of our people, and improve service to
customers, by eliminating or waiving unnecessary administrative burdens, and updating
or revising operational requirements consistent with sound risk management principles.
