4. General. Authority to establish and modify technical USACE
and Army design and construction criteria, standards, policy, and
associated documents promulgated by Headquarters USACE (HQUSACE)
is coordinated through the HQUSACE technical proponent. As with
all other activities, funding for various aspects of technology
transfer is addressed through the general accounting principles
and policies established in ER 37-345-10, Accounting and
Reporting, Military Activities.
a.
Primarily, HQUSACE technical documents are developed and
implemented to indicate policy, criteria, standards, and guidance
for design and construction of facilities. These technical
documents are in the form of Department of the Army (DA)
Technical Manuals (TMs), Corps of Engineers Guide Specifications
(CEGS), Architectural and Engineering Instructions (AEI) issued
by HQUSACE, DA Standard Facility Designs, and Engineering
Technical Letters (ETLs). These documents are generally developed
in coordination with USACE MSCs, District Commands, Centers of
Expertise, and the private sector.
b.
Except when otherwise directed, the use of such
technical documents is mandatory for design and construction of
Army projects, but is applicable to Air Force, Navy, "HTRW" and
"work for others" projects when so indicated. However, for some
types of projects, such as commercially financed facilities
(CFF), individual project planning, justification, and approval
documentation may specifically exempt a given project from the
mandatory use of some or all USACE technical documents.
5. Methods of Technology Transfer. There are a number of
methods by which technology can be formally or informally
transferred within the Army and USACE. Formal methods
established by DA or HQUSACE to encourage participation in those
processes by HQUSACE, MSC, district commands, and others are
summarized below:
a.
ENG FORM 3078. Recommended Change to Engineering
Documents. ENG FORM 3078 is a major engineering feedback program
vehicle. It is used to recommend changes to documents
promulgated by HQUSACE, such as TMs, guide specifications,
standard and definitive drawings, design guides, and other
