The Air Force has an “extended debriefing” pilot program in place. The FAA uses “enhanced” debriefings in appropriate cases. The Department of Energy uses “open book” debriefings in appropriate cases. The intent behind all of these methods is to provide more details than the ordinary debriefing would allow, and thereby avoid more formal and lengthy protest proceedings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>LEARN MORE:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/adr.gov\/guidance\/adrguide-home\/08-afedp\/\">The Air Force’s Extended Debriefing Program<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/adr.gov\/guidance\/adrguide-home\/08-ob\/\">The Department of Energy’s “Open Book” Debriefing Process<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/adr.gov\/guidance\/adrguide-home\/08-odra\/\">Enhanced Debriefing with Mediation at the FAA ODRA<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"grayLine\"><\/div>\n<p>Subpages <span id=\"subpages-total-number\">(2):<\/span> <a dir=\"ltr\" href=\"https:\/\/adr.gov\/guidance\/adrguide-home\/08-afedp\/\">AF Extended Debriefings<\/a> | <a dir=\"ltr\" href=\"https:\/\/adr.gov\/guidance\/adrguide-home\/08-ob\/\">DOE’s Open Book<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"parent":27194,"menu_order":8,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/adr.gov\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/27335"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/adr.gov\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/adr.gov\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/adr.gov\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/adr.gov\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27335"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/adr.gov\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/27335\/revisions"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/adr.gov\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/27194"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/adr.gov\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27335"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
