Subpart B--Driving Privileges
Sec. 634.6 Requirements for driving privileges.
(a) Driving a Government vehicle or POV on a military installation
is a privilege granted by the installation commander. Persons who accept
the privilege must--
(1) Comply with laws and regulations governing motor vehicle
operations on the installation.
(2) Comply with installation registration requirements in subpart C
if applicable.
(3) Possess, while operating a motor vehicle and produce on demand
to law enforcement personnel, the following:
(i) Proof of vehicle ownership or State registration if required by
the issuing State.
(ii) A valid State, overseas command, host nation, or international
driver's license and/or OF 346 (U.S. Government Motor Vehicle Operator's

military installations based on the installation commander's policy.
(1) In overseas areas, military vehicles may be stopped on or off
installations as determined by host nation agreement and command policy.
(2) Stops and inspections of vehicles at installation gates or entry
points and in restricted areas will be conducted according to separate
Service policy.
(3) Stops and inspections of POVs within the military installation,
other than at restricted areas or at an installation gate, are
authorized only when there is a reasonable basis to believe the stop/
inspection is necessary to enforce a traffic regulation or the stop is
based on suspicion of criminal activity. (Army users, see AR 210-10.
Marine Corps users, pending publication of a specific Marine Corps
order, will be guided by Military Rules of evidence 311-316 and local
command regulations. DLA users, see DLAR 5700.7.)
(b) At the time of stop, the driver and occupants may be required to
display all pertinent documents, including but not limited to--
(1) DD Form 2A.
(2) Documents that establish the identity and status of civilians;
for example, DD Form 1173 (Uniformed Services Identification and
Privilege Card), DA Form 1602 (Civilian Identification), AF Form 354
(Civilian Identification Card), DLA Form 572 (Identification Card), DLA
Form 1486 (Application for Identification Card), post pass, or national
identity card.
(3) Proper POV registration documents.
(4) Host nation vehicle registration documents if applicable.
(5) Authorization to operate a U.S. Government vehicle if
applicable.
[[Page 38]]
(6) Drivers license or OF 346 valid for the particular vehicle and
area of operation.
Sec. 634.8 Implied consent to blood, breath, or urine tests.
Persons accepting installation driving privileges shall be deemed to
have given their consent to evidential tests for alcohol or other drug
content of their blood, breath, and/or urine if lawfully stopped,
apprehended, or cited for any offense allegedly committed while driving
or in physical control of a motor vehicle on the installation while
under the influence of intoxicants.
Sec. 634.9 Implied consent to impoundment.
Any person granted the privilege of operating a motor vehicle on an
installation shall be deemed to have given his or her consent for the
removal and temporary impoundment of the POV when it is parked illegally
for unreasonable periods, interfering with operations, creating a safety
hazard, disabled by accident, left unattended in a restricted or
controlled area, or abandoned. Such persons further agree to reimburse
the United States for the cost of towing and storage should their motor
vehicle be removed or impounded. Existence of the conditions described
above will be determined by the installation commander or designee.
Sec. 634.10 Suspension or revocation of driving privileges.
The installation commander (or designee not assigned primarily to
law enforcement duties) may, for cause, administratively suspend or
revoke driving privileges on the installation. The suspension or
revocation of installation driving privileges or POV registrations, for
lawful reasons unrelated to traffic violations or safe vehicle
operation, is not limited or restricted by this regulation.
(a) Suspension. (1) Driving privileges are usually suspended when
other measures have failed to improve a driver's performance. Measures
should include counseling, remedial driving training, and rehabilitation
programs. Driving privileges may also be suspended for up to 6 months if
a driver continually violates installation parking regulations. The
commander will determine standards for suspension based on frequency of
parking violations and publish those standards.
(2) The installation commander has discretionary power to withdraw
the authorization of active duty military personnel, DOD civilian
employees, and nonappropriated fund (NAF) employees to operate U.S.
Government vehicles.
(3) Immediate suspension of installation or overseas command POV
driving privileges pending resolution of an intoxicated driving incident
is authorized for active duty military personnel, family members,
retired members of the military services, DOD civilian personnel, and
others with installation or overseas command driving privileges
regardless of the geographic location of an intoxicated driving
incident. Suspension is authorized for non-DOD affiliated civilians only
with respect to incidents occurring on the installation or in areas
subject to military traffic supervision. After a review of available
evidence as specified in Sec. 634.11, installation driving privileges
will be immediately suspended pending resolution of the intoxicated
driving incident in the following circumstances;
(i) Refusal to take or complete a lawfully requested chemical test
to determine contents of blood for alcohol or other drugs.
(ii) Operating a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of
0.10 percent by volume or higher or in violation of the law of the
jurisdiction that is being assimilated on the military installation.
(iii) Operating a motor vehicle with a BAC of at least 0.05 percent
by volume but less than 0.10 percent blood alcohol by volume in
violation of the law of the jurisdiction in which the vehicle is being
operated if the jurisdiction imposes a suspension solely on the basis of
the BAC level.
(iv) On an arrest report or other official documentation of the
circumstances of an apprehension for intoxicated driving.
(b) Revocation. (1) The revocation of installation or overseas
command POV driving privileges is a severe administrative measure to be
exercised for serious moving violations or when other
[[Page 39]]
available corrective actions fail to produce the desired driver
improvement. Revocation of the driving privilege will be for a specific
period, but never less than 6 months, applies at all military
installations, and remains in effect on reassignment.
(2) Driving privileges are subject to revocation when an individual
fails to comply with any of the conditions requisite to the granting of
the privilege. (See Sec. 634.6.) Revocation of installation driving and
registration privileges is authorized for military personnel, family
members, civilian employees of DOD, and other individuals with
installation driving privileges. For civilian guests, revocation is
authorized only with respect to incidents occurring on the installation
or in the areas subject to military traffic supervision.
(3) Driving privileges will be revoked for a mandatory period of not
less than 1 year in the following circumstances:
(i) The installation commander or designee has determined that the
person lawfully apprehended for intoxicated driving refused to submit to
or complete a test to measure the alcohol content in the blood, or
detect the presence of any other drug, as required by the law of the
jurisdiction, installation traffic code, or by Service directive.
(ii) A conviction, nonjudicial punishment, or a military or civilian
administrative action resulted in the suspension or revocation of a
driver's license for intoxicated driving. Appropriate official
documentation of such conviction is required as the basis for
revocation.
(4) When temporary suspensions under Sec. 634.10(a)(3) are followed
by revocations, the period of revocation is computed beginning from the
date the original suspension was imposed, exclusive of any period during
which full driving privileges may have been restored pending resolution
of charges. (Example: privileges were initially suspended on 1 January
1996 for a charge of intoxicated driving with a blood alcohol content of
0.14 percent. A hearing was held, extreme family hardship was
substantiated, and privileges were restored on 1 February pending
resolution of the charge. On 10 March, the driver was convicted for
intoxicated driving. The mandatory 1-year revocation period will consist
of January 1996 plus March 1996 through January 1997, for a total of 12
months with no installation driving privileges.)
Sec. 634.11 Administrative due process for suspensions and revocations.
(a) Individual Services will promulgate separate regulations
establishing administrative due process procedures for suspension or
revocation of driving privileges. The procedures in paragraphs (b) and
(c) of this section apply to actions taken by Army commanders with
respect to Army military personnel and family members and to civilian
personnel operating motor vehicles on Army installations. For Marine
Corps users, the provisions of this paragraph apply pending publication
of a Marine Corps order addressing administrative due process.
(b) For offenses other than intoxicated driving, suspension or
revocation of the installation driving privilege will not become
effective until the installation commander or designee notifies the
affected person and offers that person an administrative hearing.
Suspension or revocation will take place 10 days after this written
notice is received unless an application for a hearing is made by the
affected person within this period. Such application will stay the
pending suspension or revocation for a period of 10 days.
(1) If, due to action by the Government, a hearing is not held
within 10 days, the suspension will not take place until such time as
the person is granted a hearing and is notified of the action of the
installation commander or designee. However, if the affected person
requests that the hearing be continued to a date beyond the 10-day
period, the suspension or revocation will become effective immediately
on receipt of notice that the request for continuance has been granted.
(2) If it is determined as the result of a hearing to suspend or
revoke the affected person's driving privilege, the suspension or
revocation will become effective when the person receives the written
notification of such action. In the event that written notification
cannot be verified either through a returned receipt for mail or
delivery
[[Page 40]]
through command channels, the hearing authority will determine the
effective date on a case-by-case basis.
(3) If the revocation or suspension is imposed after such hearing,
the person whose driving privilege has been suspended or revoked will
have the right to appeal or request reconsideration. Such requests must
be forwarded through command channels to the installation commander
within 10 days from the date the individual is notified of the
suspension or revocation resulting from the administrative hearing. The
suspension or revocation will remain in effect pending a final ruling on
the request. Requests for restricted privileges will be considered per
Sec. 634.16.
(c) For drunk driving or driving while intoxicated offenses,
reliable evidence readily available will be presented promptly to an
individual designated by the installation commander for review and
authorization for immediate suspension of installation driving
privileges.
(1) The reviewer should be any officer whose primary duties are not
in the field of law enforcement.
(2) Reliable evidence includes material such as witness statements,
military or civilian police report of apprehension, chemical test
results if completed, refusal to consent to complete chemical testing,
video tapes, statements by the apprehended individual, field sobriety or
preliminary breath test results, and other pertinent evidence.
(3) Reviews normally will be accomplished within the first normal
duty day following final assembly of evidence.
(4) When detailed and reliable evidence is not available, immediate
suspension should not be based on published lists of arrested persons,
statements by parties not witnessing the apprehension, or telephone
conversations or other information not supported by documented and
reliable evidence.
(5) Installation commanders may authorize the installation law
enforcement officer to conduct reviews and authorize suspensions in
cases where the designated reviewer is not reasonably available and, in
the judgment of the installation law enforcement officer, such immediate
action is warranted. Review by the designated officer will follow as
soon as practicable in such cases. When a suspension notice is based on
the law enforcement officer's review, there is no requirement for
confirmation notice following subsequent review by the designated
officer.
(6) For active duty military personnel, written notice of suspension
for intoxicated driving will be provided to the individual's chain of
command for immediate presentation to the individual.
(7) For civilian personnel, written notice of suspension for
intoxicated driving normally will be provided without delay via
certified mail. If the person is employed on the installation, such
notice will be forwarded through the military or civilian supervisor.
When the notice of suspension is forwarded through the supervisor, the
person whose privileges are suspended will be required to provide
written acknowledgment of receipt of the suspension notice.
(8) Notices of suspension for intoxicated driving will include the
following:
(i) The fact that the suspension can be made a revocation under
Sec. 634.10(b).
(ii) The right to request, in writing, a hearing before the
installation commander or designee to determine if post driving
privileges will be restored pending resolution of the charge; and that
such request must be made within 10 days of the notice of suspension.
(iii) The right of military personnel to be represented by counsel
at his or her own expense and to present evidence and witnesses at his
or her own expense. Installation commanders will determine the
availability of any local active duty representatives requested.
(iv) The right of Department of the Army (DA) civilian employees to
have a personal representative present at the administrative hearing in
accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
(v) Written acknowledgment of receipt to be signed by the individual
whose privileges are to be suspended or revoked.
(9) If a hearing is requested, it must take place within 10 days of
receipt of
[[Page 41]]
the request. The suspension for intoxicated driving will remain in
effect until a decision has been made by the installation commander or
designee, but will not exceed 10 working days after the hearing while
awaiting the decision. If no decision has been made by that time, full
driving privileges will be restored until such time as the accused is
notified of a decision to continue the suspension.
(10) Hearing on suspension actions under Sec. 634.10(a) for
intoxicated drivers pending resolution of charges will cover only the
pertinent issues of whether--
(i) The law enforcement official had reasonable grounds to believe
the person was driving or in actual physical control of a motor vehicle
while under the influence of alcohol or other drugs.
(ii) The person was lawfully cited or apprehended for an intoxicated
driving offense.
(iii) The person was lawfully requested to submit to a test for
alcohol or other drug content of blood, breath, or urine and was
informed of the consequences of refusal to take or complete such test.
(iv) The person refused to submit to the test for alcohol or other
drug content of blood, breath, or urine; failed to complete the test; or
submitted to the test and the result was 0.10 percent or higher blood
alcohol content, or showed results indicating the presence of other
drugs for an on-post apprehension or in violation of State laws for an
off-post apprehension.
(v) The testing methods used were valid and reliable, and the
results accurately evaluated.
(11) For revocation actions under Sec. 634.10(b)(3) for intoxicated
driving, the revocation is mandatory on conviction or other findings
that confirm the charge. (Pleas of nolo contendere are considered
equivalent to guilty pleas.)
(i) Revocations are effective as of the date of conviction or other
findings that confirm the charges.
(ii) The notice that revocation is automatic may be placed in the
suspension letter. If it does not appear in the suspension letter, a
separate letter must be sent and revocation is not effective until
receipt of the written notice.
(iii) Revocations cancel any full or restricted driving privileges
that may have been restored during suspension and the resolution of the
charges. Requests for restoration of full driving privileges are not
authorized.
Sec. 634.12 Army administrative actions against intoxicated drivers.
Army commanders will take appropriate action against intoxicated
drivers. These actions will include the following:
(a) A written general officer reprimand, administrative in nature,
will be issued to active duty Army officers, commissioned and warrant,
and noncommissioned officers, to include soldiers in the grade of E-4
appointed on official orders to corporal, in the cases described below.
This reprimand may be issued by an officer frocked to the grade of
brigadier general. Subsequent filing of the reprimand will be in
accordance with the provisions of AR 600-37.
(1) Conviction of intoxicated driving or driving under the influence
of alcohol or other drugs either on or off the installation.
(2) Refusal to take or failure to complete a lawfully requested test
to measure alcohol or drug content of the blood, breath, or urine,
either on or off the installation, when there is reasonable belief of
driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
(3) Driving or being in physical control of a motor vehicle on post
when the blood alcohol content is 0.10 percent or higher, irrespective
of other charges, or off post when the blood alcohol content is in
violation of State laws, irrespective of other charges.
(4) Driving or being in physical control of a motor vehicle, either
on or off the installation, when lawfully requested chemical tests
reflect the presence of illegal drugs.
(b) A written reprimand, administrative in nature, may be issued by
a general officer or other appropriate official to active duty soldiers
in the grade of E-4 (except corporals) and below in cases described in
paragraph (a) of this section.
(c) Review by commanders of the service records of active duty
soldiers apprehended for offenses described in
[[Page 42]]
(a) above to determine if the individuals warrant--
(1) Administrative reduction per AR 600-200.
(2) Bar to reenlistment per AR 601-280.
(3) Administrative discharge per AR 635-200.
Sec. 634.13 Remedial driver training programs.
(a) Navy activities will comply with OPNAVINST 5100.12D, Air Force
activities with AFR 30-2, and Marine Corps activities with MCO 5100.19C.
(b) Installation commanders may establish a remedial driver training
program to instruct and educate military personnel requiring additional
training. Personnel will be chosen for the program on the basis of their
individual driving records. The curriculum should provide instruction to
improve driving performance and compliance with traffic laws.
(c) Installation commanders may schedule periodic courses if courses
on a continuing basis are not practical. If civil authorities conduct
such courses, commanders may arrange for installation personnel to
attend these courses in lieu of operating a course on or by the
installation.
(d) Civilian personnel employed on the installation, contractor
employees, and family members of military personnel may voluntarily
attend these or similar courses.
Sec. 634.14 Alcohol and drug abuse programs.
(a) Commanders will refer military personnel suspected of drug or
alcohol abuse for evaluation in the following circumstances:
(1) Behavior is indicative of alcohol or drug abuse.
(2) Continued inability to drive a motor vehicle safely because of
alcohol or drug abuse.
(b) The commander will ensure military personnel are referred to the
installation alcohol and drug abuse program or other comparable
facilities when they are convicted of, or receive an official
administrative action for, any offense involving intoxicated driving. A
first offender may be referred for treatment if more evidence of
substance abuse exists than merely the offense of intoxicated driving.
The provisions of this paragraph do not limit the commander's
prerogatives concerning other actions that may be taken against
offenders under separate Service policies. (Army, see AR 600-85; Marine
Corps, see MCO P5300.12.)
(c) Active duty Army personnel apprehended for drunk driving, on or
off the installation, will be referred to the local Alcohol and Drug
Abuse Prevention and Control Program (ADAPCP) for evaluation within 10
days to determine if the person is dependent on alcohol or other drugs
which will result in enrollment in Track I or other level of treatment
in accordance with AR 600-85.
(d) Active duty Navy personnel apprehended for drunk driving, on or
off the installation, will be screened by the respective CAAC facility
within 10 days to determine if the individual is dependent on alcohol or
other drugs. Active duty Marines apprehended for intoxicated driving, on
or off the installation, will be referred for interview by a Level II
substance abuse counselor within 10 days for evaluation and
determination of the appropriate level of treatment required subsequent
to this evaluation, the Marine will be assigned to the appropriate
treatment program as prescribed by MCO P5300.12.
(e) The Services may develop preventive treatment and rehabilitative
programs for civilian employees with alcohol-related problems section
4561, title 42, U.S. Code (42 U.S.C. 4561).
(f) Army supervisors of civilian employees apprehended for drunk
driving will advise employees of ADAPCP services available. Army
civilian employees apprehended for intoxicated driving while on duty
will be referred to the ADAPCP for evaluation in accordance with AR 600-
85. Army commanders will ensure that sponsors encourage family members
apprehended for drunk driving to seek ADAPCP evaluation and assistance.
(g) Navy and DLA civilian personnel charged with intoxicated driving
will be referred to the Civilian Employee Assistance Program for
evaluation in accordance with FPM Supplement 792-2. Such referral does
not exempt the
[[Page 43]]
employee from appropriate administrative or disciplinary actions under
civilian personnel regulations.
(h) Marine Corps civilian employees charged with intoxicated
driving, on or off the installation, will be referred to the Employee
Assistance Program as prescribed by MCO P5300.12. Marine dependents
charged with intoxicated driving, on or off the installation, will be
provided assistance as addressed in MCO P5300.12. Such referral and
assistance does not exempt the individual from appropriate
administrative or disciplinary action under current civilian personnel
regulations or State laws.
(i) For Army, DLA, and Marine Corps, installation driving privileges
of any person who refuses to submit to or fails to complete chemical
testing for blood-alcohol content when apprehended for intoxicated
driving, or convicted of intoxicated driving, will not be reinstated
unless the person successfully completes either an alcohol education and
treatment program sponsored by the installation, State, county, or
municipality, or a private program evaluated as acceptable by the
installation commander.
(j) For Navy, on-base driving privileges will not be reinstated for
Navy personnel convicted of driving under the influence, on- or off-
base, unless the person completed the full 36-hour Navy Alcohol and Drug
Safety Action Program (NADSAP). The condensed NADSAP supervisor course
will not be used for this purpose.
Sec. 634.15 Restoration of driving privileges on acquittal.
When an official report pertaining to drunk driving or driving while
intoxicated indicates a finding of not guilty, that the charges have
been dismissed or reduced to an offense not amounting to intoxicated
driving, or that an equivalent determination has been made in a
nonjudicial punishment proceeding or military or civilian administrative
action, the suspension of driving privileges will be vacated except in
cases in which:
(a) The preliminary suspension was based on refusal to take a BAC
test.
(b) The preliminary suspension resulted from a BAC test (unless
disposition of the charges was based on invalidity of the BAC test).
When a valid BAC test is involved, the suspension will continue pending
completion of a hearing. In such instances, the individual will be
notified in writing of the continuation of the preliminary suspension
and of the opportunity to request a hearing within 10 working days. At
the hearing the arrest report, the commander's report of official
disposition, information presented by the individual, and such other
information as the hearing officer may deem appropriate will be
considered. If the hearing officer determines by a preponderance of
evidence that the individual was engaged in intoxicated driving, the
revocation will be for 1 year from the date of the original preliminary
suspension.
(c) The person was driving or in physical control of a motor vehicle
while under a preliminary suspension or revocation.
(d) An administrative determination has been made by the State or
host nation licensing authority to suspend or revoke driving privileges
based on local law or pertinent regulations.
(e) The individual has failed to complete a formally directed
substance abuse or driver's training program.
Sec. 634.16 Restricted driving privileges or probation.
(a) For the Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and DLA, the installation
commander may modify a suspension or revocation of driving privileges in
certain cases per paragraph (d) of this section.
(b) Army requests for restricted driving privileges subsequent to
suspension or revocation of installation driving privileges will be
referred to the installation commander or designee for determination
under criteria of (d) below, except for intoxicated driving cases, which
must be referred to the General Court Martial Convening Authority.
Withdrawal of restricted driving privileges is within the installation
commander's discretion.
(c) Probation or restricted driving privileges will not be granted
to any person whose driver's license is under suspension or revocation
by a State, Federal, or host nation licensing authority.
[[Page 44]]
(d) Aside from any other provisions of this regulation, the
installation commander or designee may grant restricted driving
privileges or probation on a case-by-case basis to accommodate any of
the following reasons, provided the person's State driver's license
remains valid:
(1) Mission requirements.
(2) Unusual personal or family hardships.
(3) Delays exceeding 90 days, not attributed to the person
concerned, in the formal disposition of an apprehension or charges that
are the basis for any type of suspension or revocation.
(4) When there is no reasonably available alternate means of
transportation to officially assigned duties. (In this instance, a
limited exception can be granted for the sole purpose of driving
directly to and from the place of duty.)
(e) The limitations on a restricted driving privilege (for example,
an authorization to drive to and from place of employment or duty,
selected installation facilities such as hospital and commissary, or
other facilities) will be specified in writing and provided to the
individual concerned. Persons found to be in violation of the restricted
privilege are subject to revocation action as prescribed in
Sec. 634.10(b). For good cause, the appropriate authority may withdraw
the restricted driving privilege and continue the suspension or
revocation period (for example, driver at fault in a traffic accident,
or driver cited for a moving traffic violation).
(f) The conditions and terms of probation will be specified in
writing and provided to the individual concerned. The original
suspension or revocation term in its entirety may be activated to
commence from the date of the violation of probation. In addition,
separate action may be initiated based on the commission of any traffic,
criminal, or military offense that constitutes a probation violation.
(g) DOD employees of the Services or DLA, who can demonstrate that
suspension or revocation of installation driving privileges would
constructively remove them from employment, may be given a limited
suspension/revocation that restricts driving on the installation or
activity (or in the overseas command) to the most direct route to and
from their respective work sites (5 U.S.C. 2303 (b)(10)). This is not to
be construed as limiting the commander from suspension or revocation of
on-duty driving privileges or seizure of OF 346, even if this action
would constructively remove a person from employment, in those instances
in which the person's duty requires driving from place to place on the
installation.
Sec. 634.17 Extensions of suspensions and revocations.
(a) Driving in violation of a suspension or revocation imposed under
this regulation will result in the original period of suspension or
revocation being increased by 2 years. In addition, administrative
action may also be initiated based on the commission of any traffic,
criminal, or military offense (for example, active duty military
personnel driving on the installation in violation of an order not to do
so).
(b) For each subsequent determination within a 5-year period that
revocation is authorized under Sec. 634.10(b), military personnel, DOD
civilians, and NAF employees will be prohibited from obtaining or using
an OF 346 for 6 months for each such incident. A determination whether
DOD civilian personnel should be prohibited from obtaining or using an
OF 346 will be made under FPM 930, and other laws and regulations
applicable to civilian personnel. This does not preclude a commander
from imposing such prohibition for a first offense, or for a longer
period of time for a first or subsequent offense, or for such other
reasons as may be authorized.
(c) Commanders may extend a suspension or revocation of the
installation driving privileges of military personnel until completion
of an approved remedial driver training course or alcohol or drug
counseling program.
(d) Commanders may extend a suspension or revocation of the
installation driving privileges of civilian personnel convicted of
intoxicated driving on the installation until successful completion of a
State or installation approved alcohol or drug rehabilitation program.
[[Page 45]]
Sec. 634.18 Reciprocal State-military action.
The Services recognize the interests of the States in matters of POV
administration and driver licensing. The following procedures will
apply:
(a) Statutory authority may exist within some host nations or States
for reciprocal suspension and revocation of driving privileges. If so,
the installation commander or designee will honor the reciprocal
agreements with State or host nation driver licensing authorities. On
receipt of written notice, the receiving party may suspend or revoke
driving privileges as if the violations or incidents had occurred within
its own jurisdiction.
(b) If statutory authority does not exist within the State for
formal military reciprocity, the procedures below will be used.
(1) Where military reciprocity has not been established by State
law, commanders will act on reports of suspensions or revocations
received from state authorities where the installation is located. When
any State authority suspends or revokes a person's driver's license, the
installation's driving privilege will be automatically terminated.
Administrative actions (suspension, revocation, or point assessment) for
moving traffic violations off the installation reported by State
authorities should not be less than that required for similar offenses
on the installation. When notified by a State of a suspension or
revocation, the installation commander may suspend or revoke the
person's OF 346.
(2) In CONUS, the appropriate State licensing authority will be
notified when a person's installation driving privileges are revoked for
a period of 1 year or more following final adjudication of an
intoxicated driving offense or for refusal to submit to a BAC test. The
notification will be sent to the licensing authority of the State where
the individual is licensed. (See appendix B to part 634.) The
notification will include the basis for the revocation and the blood
alcohol concentration level.
(c) Overseas installation commanders may be affected by provisions
of the applicable status of forces agreement (SOFA) and the law of the
host nation concerning reciprocal suspension and revocation. To the
extent an agreement concerning reciprocity may be permitted at a
particular overseas installation, the installation commander must have
prior authorization to negotiate and conclude such an international
agreement in accordance with applicable directives, DODD 5530.3, June
1987 and individual Service instructions.
