AFB outside of the "USAF Controlled" and "USAF Restricted" areas.

All information on the Dyess Form 173 must be typed and the authorizing signature must be in blue or black ink.

Those individuals with outstanding warrants will be detained at the Visitor Control Center on the desired day of entry, and turned over to Abilene Police Department.

8.3.2 The approving authority (individual on the 577) can make “ink changes” in red ink to correct any errors noted on the form. All changes have to be initialed by the approval authority.

8.3.3 All Contractor day laborers will be processed via the Texas Law Enforcement Terminal

System (TLETS—police wants/warrants check). At this time, someone with military credentials or a Trusted Agent will physically have to meet them to sponsor them onto the installation. Once it is determined the individual is cleared from any wants or warrants and their state or federal identification is valid, their pass will be issued.

8.4 Trusted Agent Letter for Day Labor Requests.

8.4.1 Purpose of Letter: To provide sponsoring authority to specific contractor individuals as identified by their sponsoring agency (7 CONS, Army Corp of Engineers, etc) to sponsor day laborers on for one to thirty day periods.

8.4.2 The Letter Process:

8.4.2.1 The sponsoring agency, in coordination with their contractor, shall identify contractor individuals that require sponsoring/vouching authority. This authority is given to the contractor for the purpose of sponsoring day laborers/job site personnel sub-contracted as a result of an unexpected or new requirement not previously identified in the current contract. This authority will not be given to contractors for convenience only, but should be limited to the smallest group of manager or foreman contractor personnel needed to complete their assigned contract. It is the responsibility of the sponsoring agency to ensure the Trusted Agent Letter remains current. A Trusted Agent must possess a valid driver’s license and have been issued contractor badge credentials for a minimum of six weeks. Additionally, all reasonable actions should occur to prevent use of this process when a known laborer/sub-contractor was required well in advance of the day labor/sub-contractor request. (Effective Date: Immediately)

8.4.2.2 The sponsoring agency shall provide this letter to the Pass and Registration Section who will maintain it on file. The Pass and Registration section shall post a copy of the letter at the VCC, as a reference, to verify which contractor personnel have sponsoring/vouching authority

8.5 The Process to get Day Labors/Job Site Personnel Sub-Contracted onto the Installation: The contractor individuals identified in the Trusted Agent Letter will be physically present to sponsor individuals requiring one to thirty days entrance. The VCC clerk will verify the identity of all individuals by checking their valid State/Federal Identification card. The VCC clerk will check 100% of the individuals via the TLETS. Should any individual not possess a valid identification card, they will be turned away at the VCC and entry to the installation denied. All information must be validated by the clerk before the contractor will be allowed to proceed onto the installation with the sponsored individuals.

Should an AF Form 75 be issued, the driver will be required to produce a valid driver’s license, current insurance card, and current registration for the vehicle being operated. Once on the installation, the Trusted Agent Contractor shall be responsible for the actions of the sponsored individuals. Should an incident occur with a sponsored guest, and negligence be proven on the part of the Trusted Agent Contractor, their vouching/sponsoring authority will be revoked. The Trusted Agent Letter can be adjusted to add and delete names of Trusted Agent Contractors as needed, as long as the provisions of this paragraph are followed. At no time will the Trusted Agent Contractor depart the installation and leave any of his/her sponsored individuals with another contractor that does not have the same vouching/sponsoring privileges.

8.6 All contractor companies must attend a contractor briefing given by Pass and Registration, who will provide a more detailed explanation regarding contractor badges and their uses. Pass and Registration reserves the right to not issue a contractor badge due to erroneous information or failure to disclose information on the Dyess Form 173. Any derogatory information received from the background check will result in the non-issuance of the contractor badge.
