## Some Guidelines for Platform Requirements Validation and Prioritization: 
Why do you need to do this?
When do you need to do it?
How does it meet NOAA’s Mission Goals?
Are there legal mandates?
Does the NOAA Fleet have the capability/capacity to support this?  (right platform for the job?)-If not, who does?

## NOAA’s Allocation Process (Going Through Some Changes)

- The NOAA Administrative Orders that define and describe the NOAA Allocation Process are logical, corporate, and democratic and will work well if used as intended.
- The NMAO has a vote on the Council however, they are a neutral service provider to NOAA programs and should not set program requirements for platform use.
**NAO 201-101 needs to be updated to reflect new budget/allocation process (i.e., PPBES)**

## TIMELINE

_***TIMELINE***_

**DEC - NOAA Marine and Aviation Operations (NMAO) requests platform requirements from Line Offices (LOs).**
**JAN/FEB – Principal Investigators/Program Managers (not PPBES) develop and submit their requests for the following two fiscal years to their Assistant Administrators (AAs) via their Fleet Working Group representative.**
**FEB - Marine Operations Center (MOC) submits ship maintenance and repair schedules.**
**MAR - AAs and headquarters' personnel review platform requests, set internal program priorities and submit requests to Fleet Working Group (FWG) via NMAO.**
**MAR/APR - FWG assembles platform requests and maintenance/training schedules, and generates draft Allocation Plans. **
**APR - Fleet Allocation Council (FAC) meeting held to discuss unresolved FWG conflicts and concerns and discuss other platform issues.   Continue to develop Allocations Plans.**
**JUL - FWG and NMAO does final review to ensure requirements are met and resources are available to support draft Allocation Plans.**
**AUG/SEP - Final Allocation Plans are submitted to the FAC for approval and the Director, NOAA Marine and Aviation Operations for signature.**
**SEP - Detailed platform schedules are developed for the upcoming fiscal year.**
