2.  This Division makes the following provisions about support payments for specified capabilities:

    a.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 The making of recommendations that the CDF approve support payment be calculated at a specified capability payment rate of payment.

    b.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 A making of recommendations that the CDF approve payment of a support payment in modified circumstances.

    c.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 The approval by the CDF of support payments for specified capabilities arising from a recommendation referred to in paragraphs a or b.

    d.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 The variation or revocation of limits that have been placed on the application of support payments for specified capabilities.

3.7.2 Payment rate for specified capabilities
1.  A Service Chief may recommend to the CDF that a support payment be calculated at a specified rate if all of the following are met:

    a.                                                                                                                                                                                     A support payment is payable, or not payable, because a legal officer sessional fee is payable for the defence service of a member.

    b.                                                                                                                                                                                     The support payment at the recommended rate would facilitate the provision of a capability required by the Defence Force that involves a specified member, class, or classes of members.

2.  Head Reserve and Cadet Support Division may recommend to the CDF that a support payment be calculated at a specified rate if satisfied that all of the following circumstances exist:

    a.                                                                                                                                                                                     The required capability relates to more than one Service.

    b.                                                                                                                                                                                     A support payment is payable, or not payable, because a legal officer sessional fee is payable for the defence service of a member.

    c.                                                                                                                                                                                     Payment of a support payment at the recommended rate would facilitate the provision of a capability required by the Defence Force that involves a specified member, class, or classes of members.

    d.                                                                                                                                                                                     The Service Chiefs involved with the provision of the capability required by the Defence Force have been consulted and support the recommendation of the payment of a specified rate if an application for a support payment is made in relation to that capability.

3.  The CDF may approve a recommendation under subsection 1 or subsection 2, specifying the following:
    a.                                                                                                                                                                                     The approved support payment rate.
    b.                                                                                                                                                                                     The member, or class of members, to which the support
