DEPARTMENT OF THE AIR FORCE

HEADQUARTERS AIR FORCE CIVIL ENGINEER SUPPORT AGENCY

JUN 27 2002

FROM: AFCESA/CES

139 Barnes Drive, Suite 1 Tyndall AFB, FL 32403-5319

SUBJECT: Engineering Technical Letter (ETL) 02-12: Communications and

Information System Criteria for Air Force Facilities

1. Purpose. This ETL integrates communications and real property planning, programming, and construction. It supersedes draft ETL 01-17. It is a joint effort of Headquarters Air Force Civil Engineer Support Agency (HQ AFCESA) and Headquarters Air Force Communications Agency (HQ AFCA) with HQ AFCA coordination. It supports Air Force initiatives such as Gigabit Ethernet, network consolidation, and the Air Force Portal by establishing the following requirements:

• New facilities and facility alterations acquired with military construction (MILCON) appropriations will have common-user communications and information system infrastructure, including connectivity.

• Communications and information infrastructure and connectivity will be integrated into facility planning, programming, design, and construction to ensure the system is complete and ready for customer occupancy.

• Systems will comply with the requirements of Air Force Instruction (AFI) 33-133, Joint Technical Architecture (Joint Technical Architecture – Air Force [JTA-AF]) and basic standards to ensure compatibility, flexibility, and long-term customer support.

1.1. Intent:

• Minimize user occupancy delays and provide immediate network services on the facility occupancy date.

• Prevent facility defacement that would occur if communications and information infrastructure were not integrated into the facility design and acquisition process.

• Provide flexibility and standardization, thereby reducing the need and cost of future modifications that would result from changes in facility occupancy or user reorganization.

• Alleviate funding disconnects that result from fragmenting appropriations sources for MILCON and communications equipment infrastructure funding.

1.1.1. Scope. In each MILCON appropriations-funded project, military family housing (MFH) MILCON-funded project, or MILCON level Base Realignment And Closure (BRAC) project, include all common-user telephone and local area networks (LAN) (both Non-secure Internet Protocol Router Network [NIPRNET] and Secure Internet Protocol Router Network [SIPRNET]) infrastructure requirements to accommodate

1239914680C Typewritten Text Attachment 06 connecting operational and administrative end-user equipment. This includes, but is not limited to, the following:

• Customer jacks (telephone, fax, LAN, pay phone, community access [cable] television [CATV])

• All wiring, cabling, fiber optic cables (FOC), conduits, ducts, manholes, and pathways from the customer’s jacks to the point where the new facility will receive network services (dial tone and Internet protocol access)

Furthermore, they are subject to the prohibition on alterations within one year from the date of beneficial occupancy in accordance with paragraph 3.4.2 of AFI 32-1032, Planning and Programming Appropriated Funded Maintenance, Repair, and Construction Projects.

2. Summary of Revisions. This ETL supersedes ETL 87-9, Prewiring. It updates requirements and standards consistent with current technology, incorporates decisions significantly expanding the scope of the superseded ETL, incorporates changes in funding and management policies, and reflects present organizational alignments.

Note: This ETL substantially revises ETL 87-9 and should be completely reviewed.

3. Application. Requirements of this ETL are mandatory for all MAJCOMS and their installations.

3.1. MCP. Compliance with this ETL is mandatory for all new construction, renovation, modernization, or rehabilitation work financed through Military Construction Appropriation Acts beginning in fiscal year (FY) 2004 on Air Force installations both inside and outside the United States of America. Technical requirements also apply for any “official service” authorized and provided in non-appropriated fund (NAF) facilities.

3.2. O&M-Funded Projects. The technical requirements of this ETL apply to O&M-funded facility projects; however, only those elements of a project that are real property subject to construction statutory funding limits (see AFI 32-1032) will be financed with funds appropriated for minor construction, repair, minor renovation, or maintenance.

Elements of a project that are not real property, such as communications wiring, and termination devices, will be funded as an expense (Element of Expense Code [EEIC] 592, 6XX, as appropriate) in accordance with AFI 65-601, Budget Guidance and Procedures, Volume 1.

3.2.1. The MAJCOMs will program communications infrastructure requirements including real property elements of work, such as walls, conduit, trenching, backfilling, and manholes, associated with non-MILCON sustainment, restoration, and modernization construction projects in the appropriate MAJCOM Engineering and Installation (E&I) account or the Combat Information Transport System (CITS) account (see AFI 65-601V1, paragraph 8.21).

3.2.2. The implementing command will program all real property elements of work, such as walls, conduit, trenching, backfilling, manholes (so-called “allied support construction”) for non-MILCON projects supporting major communications and information infrastructure programs in the major program’s Program Element (PE) in accordance with AFI 65-601V1, paragraph 8.21 and Figure 7.1, item 6b. This includes contracted architectural and engineering services for these projects in accordance with AFI 65-601V1, paragraph 7.6.10.2.

3.3. Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) and other mission equipment, cabling, antennas, and other appurtenances that are part of a mission system, such as satellite communications earth stations, (usually centrally managed by an implementing command system program office) will continue to be managed and funded as acquisition programs in accordance with DOD 5000-2-R, Mandatory Procedures for Major Defense Acquisition Programs (MDAPS) and Major Automated Information System (MAIS) Acquisition Programs. The system program office will coordinate supporting construction requirements with the MAJCOM sponsoring the MILCON project so those construction requirements are included. Where supporting construction is non-MILCON, the system program office will coordinate requirements with the host command and fund them in accordance with paragraph 3.2.2.

3.4. Upgrades. Do not use this ETL to justify upgrading existing facilities. The decision to upgrade facility communications and information systems will be based on mission need or economics and approved by the wing commander or higher authority, in accordance with MAJCOM policy.

7. Background.

7.1. Until the mid-1980s, the Air Force programmed, designed, and built new facilities through the MILCON process but added communications and information systems after construction completion. Installation of communications and information infrastructure after construction completion led to defacement of facilities and resulted in loss of flexibility since systems were not integrated into facility designs. Lack of synchronization between the facility and communication infrastructure delivery processes resulted in financial disconnects commonly resolved at the expense of other programs. Expensive occupancy delays were the norm.

7.2. Following the divestiture of the telecommunications industry in 1984, the Air Force adopted a policy called “prewiring.” The policy required the basic backbone infrastructure (outlets, wiring, CERs, telecommunications closets [TC]) to be integrated into the MILCON facility delivery process and financed with Appropriation 3300, Military Construction, Air Force. It did not include end instruments, telephone and network equipment, nor the connectivity needed to provide a dial tone and network access at the subscriber’s outlet at the time of facility beneficial occupancy. These items continued to be funded from Appropriation 3400, Operation & Maintenance, Air Force, or Appropriation 3080, Air Force Procurement (Equipment). The policy eliminated the potential for defacement of newly completed facilities during installation of communications infrastructure. It also provided enhanced flexibility through facility standardization. It did not, however, eliminate the potential for funding disconnects caused by fragmented funding sources nor resultant expensive occupancy delays.

7.3. In FY 2000, the President’s budget requested $560 million for Air Force conventional MCP projects. Congress added to the Military Construction Appropriation Act $254 million worth of projects that were not requested in the President’s budget;

however, they did not increase the 3400 and 3080 appropriations by the amount necessary to buy communications equipment and connectivity for the additional buildings. Consequently, the Air Force faced a large financial disconnect in making the additional facilities usable. In November 1999, HQ USAF/ILE and HQ USAF/SC co-sponsored an Integrated Process Team (IPT) to study the facility delivery process and make recommendations that would ensure new facilities were “communications-ready” at the time of occupancy. During its investigations, the IPT also found that communication equipment and connectivity support funding had not been requested for a large percentage of the facility projects that the Air Force had requested in the President’s budget, thereby exacerbating the disconnect. Furthermore, the IPT found the timing of communication requirements identification was not synchronized with the facility delivery process. Therefore, the IPT recommended that all common-user communications and information system infrastructure costs be internalized to the MILCON appropriations. In May 2000, HQ USAF/ILE and HQ USAF/SC agreed to implement the recommendation; however, the Office of the Undersecretary of Defense (Comptroller) would not make the requested changes to Department of Defense (DOD) 7000.14-R, DOD Financial Management Regulation, which would enable the Air Force to buy communications and information equipment with funds appropriated for MILCON.

HQ USAF/ILE therefore decided in January 2002 not to further pursue changing DOD financial management policy; this ETL was published only with the other IPT-recommended process improvements aimed at mitigating funding disconnects along with the technical updates.
