(10)
The initial authorization for contingency determinations (compelling
operational consideration, clear and present danger, emergency) shall not exceed 15
calendar days. The duration of these approved determinations begins with the first day of
usage and expires 15 calendar days from that date or with the cessation of the event,
situation, or circumstance giving rise to the need for carrier use, whichever is earlier.
(Examples: A compelling operational consideration determination was approved October
11, 2001; the event giving rise to the need for carrier use was terminated October 13,
2001, the authorization expires October 13, 2001; or the employee first took a vehicle
home November 15, 2001, the authorization expires November 29, 2001.) Subsequent
authorizations of not more than 90 additional calendar days each can be approved should
the same circumstances continue. This process may continue as long as required by the
same circumstances.
