Chapter 3 –Readiness and Standardization Team Assessments
B.7. b. Appeals A unit may appeal STAN findings by submitting a memorandum to
Commandant (CG-731), via the chain of command, within 30 calendar
days of receipt of final report.
The appeal shall explain the discrepancy received and why it should not
be counted as a discrepancy. Include relevant documentation (i.e. unit
records, photos, etc.) as appropriate.
Commandant (CG-731) will have final disposition on appeals and will
provide a decision memorandum to the appealing unit via the chain of
command, with copies sent to Boat Forces STAN Team and the Small
Boat Product Line (SBPL).
The management of STAN evaluation criteria is a continuous process;
appeals are not intended to discredit the inspection process, but to bring
to light issues that may be present in the boat community.
