AD/EFF

The FMO will be able to identify an AD/EFF as"Mission Critical" at the time an exam is scheduled, understanding that they assume all SHRO responsibilities with record management and the Risk Mitigation/ Waiver Process. If an FMO sends an AD/EFF for a medical examination, it is agreed the AD/EFF is mission critical and will be allowed to go through the entire first and second level Risk Mitigation/Waiver Processes should they be placed in Not Cleared status.

FMO assumes roles and responsibilities of the SHRO for applicant/incumbent if they are AD/EFF in the Risk Mitigation/Waiver Process.
