SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Executive Summary

I. Purpose of the Regulatory Action

    a. The publication of this proposed rule announces administrative 
revision of a current Army regulation covering motor vehicle traffic 
supervision. It outlines policy on vehicle registration; implements the 
0.08 blood alcohol content as the standard for adverse administrative 
actions; permits involuntary extraction of blood under revised Military 
Rules of Evidence in cases where intoxicated driving is suspected; 
provides policy on towing, storing, and impounding vehicles; adopts the 
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration technical standards for 
breathalyzer equipment; establishes traffic points for seat belt and 
child restraint device violations; and requires that new safety 
requirements be included in the installation traffic code. It 
implements Department of Defense Directive 5525.04, ``Enforcement of 
the State Traffic Laws on DoD Installations'' (available at http://www.dtic.mil/whs/directives/corres/pdf/552504p.pdf), and Department of 
Defense Instruction 6055.04, ``DoD Traffic Safety Program'' (available 
at http://www.dtic.mil/whs/directives/corres/pdf/605504p.pdf). It also 
implements portions of Department of Defense Instruction 7730.47, 
``Defense Incident-Based Reporting System (DIBRS)'' (available at 
http://www.dtic.mil/whs/directives/corres/pdf/773047p.pdf), that apply 
to dispositions. This regulation was most recently published in the 
Federal Register on April 12, 2005 (70 FR 18969).
    b. The legal authority for this regulatory action is: 70 FR 18969, 
70 FR 18982, 10 U.S.C. 2575, 18 U.S.C. 13.

II. Summary of the Major Provisions of the Regulatory Action in 
Question

    The major provisions of this regulatory action include: Driving 
privileges, suspensions, revocations, vehicle registration, traffic 
supervision and offense reporting, accident investigation and 
reporting, release of information, processing drunk drivers, and 
impounding privately owned vehicles.

III. Cost and Benefits

    This proposed rule will not have a monetary effect upon the public. 
This proposed rule facilitates information

[[Page 78990]]

sharing between authorized law enforcement agencies to enhance 
protection of personnel and resources critical to DoD mission 
assurance. Costs of law enforcement, personnel, reporting systems and 
records management are offset through the efficient collection of data 
to support traffic enforcement on military installations and enhance 
safety through intelligence led policing efforts. These efforts allow 
the efficient deployment of police and security forces proactively to 
deter, prevent and mitigate losses due to criminal behavior and civil 
violations.

B. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    The Department of the Army has determined that the Regulatory 
Flexibility Act does not apply because the proposed rule does not have 
a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities 
within the meaning of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601-612.

C. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Department of the Army has determined that the Unfunded 
Mandates Reform Act does not apply because the proposed rule does not 
include a mandate that may result in estimated costs to State, local or 
tribal governments in the aggregate, or the private sector, of $100 
million or more.

D. National Environmental Policy Act

    The Department of the Army has determined that the National 
Environmental Policy Act does not apply because the proposed rule does 
not have an adverse impact on the environment.

E. Paperwork Reduction Act

    The Department of the Army has determined that the Paperwork 
Reduction Act doesn't apply. There is no additional burden for 
collection of information from the public or the addition of additional 
government forms associated with this rulemaking. Information collected 
to support this proposed rule is that information normally collected in 
the performance of law and order and traffic enforcement operations 
across the United States. Information collected is used to determine 
wants and warrants issued for criminal offenders, persons driving under 
suspended or revoked licenses, and traffic point assessment. Failure to 
provide driver's license or vehicle registration information may result 
in detention and fines. Procedures and business processes outlined in 
this proposed rule provide uniform policy concerning military traffic 
supervision practices to improve productivity, efficiency, and 
effectiveness of law enforcement traffic supervision, reporting efforts 
including the reduction of information collection burdens on the public 
and the improvement of law enforcement service delivery while 
maintaining privacy, confidentiality and information systems 
protections.

F. Executive Order 12630 (Government Actions and Interference With 
Constitutionally Protected Property Rights)

    The Department of the Army has determined that Executive Order 
12630 does not apply because the proposed rule does not impair private 
property rights.

G. Executive Order 12866 (Regulatory Planning and Review) and Executive 
Order 13563 (Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review)

    Executive Orders 13563 and 12866 direct agencies to assess all 
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if 
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize 
net benefits (including potential economic, environmental, public 
health and safety effects, distribute impacts, and equity). Executive 
Order 13563 emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and 
benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, and of promoting 
flexibility. This proposed rule has been designated a ``significant 
regulatory action,'' although not economically significant, under 
section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866. Accordingly, the proposed rule 
has been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).

H. Executive Order 13045 (Protection of Children From Environmental 
Health Risk and Safety Risks)

    The Department of the Army has determined that according to the 
criteria defined in Executive Order 13045. This proposed rule does not 
apply since it does not implement or require actions impacting 
environmental health or safety risks to children.

I. Executive Order 13132 (Federalism)

    The Department of the Army has determined that according to the 
criteria defined in Executive Order 13132 this proposed rule does not 
apply because it will not have a substantial effect on the States, on 
the relationship between the national government and the States, or on 
the distribution of power and responsibilities among various levels of 
government.

Sec.  634.9  Suspension or revocation of driving or privately owned 
vehicle registration privileges.

    The installation commander or designee may for cause, or any lawful 
reason, 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 part.
    (a) Suspension. (1) Driving privileges are usually suspended when 
other measures fail to improve a driver's performance. Measures should 
include counseling, remedial driving training, and rehabilitation 
programs if violator is entitled to the programs. Driving privileges 
may also be suspended for up to six 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. Aboard Navy installations, any vehicle parked 
in a fire lane will be towed at the owner's expense. Any vehicle parked 
without authorization in an area restricted due to force protection 
measures may subject the driver to immediate suspension by the 
installation commanding officer. Vehicle will be towed at the owner's 
and/or operator's expense.
    (2) The installation commander has discretionary power to withdraw 
the authorization of active duty military personnel, DOD civilian 
employees, and non-appropriated funds (NAF) employees, contractors and 
subcontractors to operate 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 the 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 information as specified in Sec.  634.11, installation 
driving privileges will be immediately suspended pending resolution of 
the intoxicated driving accident 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 0.08 percent by volume (0.08 grams per 100 milliliters) 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 0.05 percent by 
volume but less than 0.08 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 (as measured in grams per 100 milliliters).
    (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 available 
corrective actions fail to produce the desired driver improvement. 
Revocation of the driving privilege will be for a specified period, but 
never less than six months, applies at all military installations, and 
remains in effect upon reassignment.
    (2) Driving privileges are subject to revocation when an individual 
fails to comply with any of the conditions requisite to the granting 
privilege (see Sec.  634.6). Revocation of installation driving and 
registration privileges is authorized for military personnel, family 
members, civilian employees of DOD, contractors, 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 one year in the following circumstances:
    (i) The installation commander or designee has determined that the 
person lawfully apprehended for driving under the influence refused to 
submit to or complete a test to measure the alcohol content in the 
blood, or detect the

[[Page 78994]]

presence of any other drug, as required by the law of the jurisdiction, 
or installation traffic code, or by Service directive.
    (ii) A conviction, non-judicial punishment, or a military or 
civilian administrative action resulting in the suspension or 
revocation of driver's license for intoxicated driving. Appropriate 
official documentation of such conviction is required as the basis for 
revocation.
    (4) When temporary suspensions under paragraph (a)(3) of this 
section 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 January 1, 2000 for a charge of intoxicated 
driving with a BAC of 0.14 percent. A hearing was held, extreme family 
hardship was substantiated, and privileges were restored on February 1 
pending resolution of the charge. On March 1, 2000, the driver was 
convicted for intoxicated driving. The mandatory 1-year revocation 
period will consist of January 2000 plus March 2000 through January 
2001, for a total of 12 months with no installation driving 
privileges).
    (c) Army provost marshals will use the automated VRS to develop and 
maintain records showing that an individual's driving privileges have 
been revoked.


Sec.  634.10  Remedial driver training programs.

    (a) Navy activities will comply with OPNAVINST 5100.12 Series, and 
Marine Corps activities with current edition of MCO 5100.19C for 
establishment of remedial training programs.
    (b) Installation commanders may establish a remedial driver-
training program to instruct and educate personnel requiring additional 
training. Personnel may be referred to a remedial program on the basis 
of their individual driving history or incidents requiring additional 
training. The curriculum should provide instruction to improve driving 
performance and compliance with traffic laws.
    (c) Installation/unit commanders will direct attendance at an Army 
Traffic Safety Training Program remedial driving class for any person 
who has acquired more than five but less than twelve traffic points 
within a six-month period. Commanders can refer to sections below for 
detailed determination of points per infraction. Personnel may be 
referred to a remedial program on the basis of their individual driving 
history or incidents requiring additional training.
    (d) Installation commanders may schedule periodic courses, or if 
not practical, arrange for participation in courses conducted by local 
civil authorities.
    (e) Active Duty Soldiers and Department of the Army (DA) Civilians 
required to drive Government owned vehicles may attend remedial courses 
on the installation, or similar courses off the installation, which 
incur no expense to the Government. Contractor employees and family 
members of military personnel will attend similar remedial courses off 
the installation, which incur no expense to the Government.
    (f) Commanders will require individuals, inside or outside normal 
duty hours, to attend the courses or lose installation driving 
privileges.
    (g) State approved driver improvement programs may be used to 
fulfill the requirement where an Army standardized course is not 
provided.


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 section apply. For Air Force users, 
a preliminary suspension for intoxicated driving remains in effect 
until the installation commander makes a final decision. Requested 
hearings must take place within a reasonable period, which is 
determined by the installation commander.
    (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 14 calendar days after written 
notice is received unless the affected person makes an application for 
a hearing within this period. Such application will stay the pending 
suspension or revocation for a period of 14 calendar days.
    (1) If, due to action by the government, a hearing is not held 
within 14 calendar 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 14-
day period, the suspension or revocation will become effective 
immediately on receipt of notice that the request for continuance has 
been granted, and remain in force pending a hearing at a scheduled 
hearing date.
    (2) If it is determined as a 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 return receipt for mail or 
delivery 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 14 calendar 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.  634.15.
    (4) If driving privileges are temporarily restored (i.e. for family 
hardship) pending resolution of charges, the period of revocation 
(after final authority determination) will still total the mandatory 12 
months. The final date of the revocation will be adjusted to account 
for the period when the violator's privileges were temporarily 
restored, as this period does not count towards the revocation time.
    (c) For drunk driving or driving under the influence 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 to include GS-11 and above, 
designated in writing by the installation or garrison commander whose 
primary duties are not in the field of law enforcement.
    (2) Reliable evidence includes witness statements, military or 
civilian police report of apprehension, chemical test results if 
completed, refusal to consent to complete chemical testing, videotapes, 
statements by the

[[Page 78995]]

apprehended individual, field sobriety or preliminary breath tests 
results, and other pertinent evidence. Immediate suspension should not 
be based solely 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.
    (3) Reviews normally will be accomplished within the first normal 
duty day following final assembly of evidence.
    (4) 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. Air Force Security Forces personnel act 
in an advisory capacity to installation commanders. Review by the 
designated officer will follow as soon as practical 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.
    (5) For active duty military personnel, final written notice of 
suspension for intoxicated driving will be provided to the individual's 
chain of command for immediate presentation to the individual. Air 
Force Security Forces provide a copy of the temporary suspension to the 
individual at the time of the incident or may provide a copy of the 
final determination at the time of the incident, as pre-determined by 
the final action authority.
    (6) For civilian personnel, written notice of suspension for 
intoxicated driving will normally be provided without delay via 
certified mail. Air Force Security Forces personnel provide a copy of 
the temporary suspension to the individual at the time of the incident 
or may provide a copy of the final determination at the time of the 
incident, as pre-determined by the final action authority. 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.
    (7) Notices of suspension for intoxicated driving will include the 
following:
    (i) The fact that the suspension can be made a revocation under 
Sec.  634.9(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 14 calendar days of the final 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 Defense 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.
    (8) If a hearing is requested, it must take place within 14 
calendar days of receipt of 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 14 calendar 
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.
    (9) Hearing on suspension actions under Sec.  634.9(a) for drunk or 
impaired driving pending resolution of charges will cover only the 
following 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 
under the influence of alcohol or other drugs.
    (ii) The person was lawfully cited or apprehended for a driving 
under the influence offense.
    (iii) The person was lawfully requested to submit his or her blood, 
breath, or urine in order to determine the content of alcohol or other 
drugs, and was informed of the implied consent policy (consequences of 
refusal to take or complete the 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; 
submitted to the test and the result was 0.08 or higher blood alcohol 
content, or between 0.05 and 0.08 in violation of the law of the 
jurisdiction in which the vehicle in being operated if the jurisdiction 
imposes a suspension solely on the basis of the BAC level; 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 were valid and reliable and the results 
accurately evaluated.
    (10) For revocation actions under Sec.  634.9(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. Test refusal revocations will be in 
addition to any other revocation incurred during a hearing. Hearing 
authority will determine if revocations for multiple offenses will run 
consecutively or concurrently taking into consideration if offenses 
occurred on same occasion or different times, dates. The exception is 
that test refusal will be one year automatic revocation in addition to 
any other suspension.
    (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.
    (11) The Army Vehicle Registration System will be utilized to 
maintain infractions by individuals on Army installations.


Sec.  634.12  Army administrative actions against intoxicated drivers.

    Army commanders will take appropriate action against intoxicated 
drivers. These actions may include the following:
    (a) A written reprimand, administrative in nature, will be issued 
to active duty Soldiers in the cases described in this paragraph. Any 
general officer, and any officer frocked to the grade of brigadier 
general, may issue this reprimand. Filing of the reprimand will be in 
accordance with the provisions of AR 600-37.
    (1) Conviction by courts-martial or civilian court or imposition of 
non-judicial punishment for an offense of drunk or impaired driving 
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

[[Page 78996]]

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 or 
watercraft (as described above) on post when the blood alcohol content 
is 0.08 percent or higher, irrespective of other charges, or either on 
or off post when the blood alcohol content is in violation of the law 
of the State involved.
    (4) Driving, or being in physical control of a motor vehicle, 
either on or off the installation, when lawfully conducted chemical 
tests reflect the presence of illegal drugs.
    (b) Review by the commander of the service records of active duty 
soldiers apprehended for offenses described in paragraph (a) of this 
section to determine if the following action(s) should be taken--
    (1) Administrative reduction per AR 600-8-19; or
    (2) Bar to reenlistment per AR 601-280; or
    (3) Administrative separation per AR 635-200.
    (c) Federal civilian employees may be subject to administrative 
actions in accordance with 5 CFR part 752.


Sec.  634.13  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 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 driving under the 
influence. A first offender may be referred to treatment if evidence of 
substance abuse exists in addition to 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 an 
offender under separate Service/Agency polices (Army, see AR 600-85. 
Marine Corps, see MCO P1700.24B).
    (c) Active duty Army personnel apprehended for drunk driving, on or 
off the installation, will be referred to the local Army Substance 
Abuse Program (ASAP) for evaluation within 14 calendar days to 
determine if the person is dependent on alcohol or other drugs which 
will result in enrollment in treatment in accordance with AR 600-85. A 
copy of all reports on military personnel and DOD civilian employees 
apprehended for intoxicated driving will be forwarded to the 
installation alcohol and drug abuse facility.
    (d) Active duty Navy personnel apprehended for drunk driving on or 
off the installation will be screened by the respective SARP facility 
within 14 calendar 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 to interview by a 
Level II substance abuse counselor within 14 calendar 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 programs as prescribed by MCO P1700.24B.
    (e) The Services/Agencies may develop preventive treatment and 
rehabilitative programs for civilian employees with alcohol-related 
problems.
    (f) Army supervisors of civilian employees apprehended for 
intoxicated driving will advise employees of ASAP services available. 
Civilian employees apprehended for intoxicated driving while on duty 
will be referred to the ASAP or comparable facility for evaluation in 
accordance with AR 600-85. Army commanders will ensure that sponsors 
encourage family members apprehended for drunk driving seek ASAP 
evaluation and assistance.
    (g) Navy and DLA civilian personnel charged with intoxicated 
driving will be referred to the Civilian Employee Assistance Program in 
accordance with 5 CFR part 792. Such referral does not exempt the 
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 P1700.24B. Marine family 
members charged with intoxicated driving, on or off the installation, 
will be provided assistance as addressed in MCO P1700.24B. 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 the Army, DLA, and the 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 or treatment program sponsored by the installation, 
state, county, or municipality, or other program evaluated as 
acceptable by the installation commander.
    (j) Active duty Air Force personnel apprehended for drunk driving, 
on or off the installation, will be referred by their respective chain 
of command to the Air Force Substance Abuse office for evaluation in 
accordance with AFI 44-121/Alcohol Drug Abuse & Treatment Program, and 
local policies within seven days.
    (k) Local installation commanders will determine if active duty Air 
Force personnel involved in any alcohol incident will immediately be 
subjected to a urinalysis for drug content. If consent is not given for 
the test, a command-directed test will be administered in accordance 
with local policies.


Sec.  634.14  Restoration of driving privileges upon acquittal of 
intoxicated driving.

    The suspension of driving privileges for military and civilian 
personnel shall be restored if a final disposition indicates a finding 
of not guilty, charges are dismissed or reduced to an offense not 
amounting to intoxicated driving, or where an equivalent determination 
is made in a non-judicial proceeding. The following are exceptions to 
the rule in which suspensions will continue to be enforced.
    (a) The preliminary suspension was based on refusal to take a BAC 
test.
    (b) The preliminary suspension resulted from a valid BAC test, 
(unless disposition of the charges was based on invalidity of the BAC 
test). In the case of a valid BAC test, the suspension will continue, 
pending completion of a hearing as specified in Sec.  634.11. In such 
instances, the individual will be notified in writing that the 
suspension will continue and of the opportunity to request a hearing 
within 14 calendar days.
    (1) 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.
    (2) 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

[[Page 78997]]

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.
    (e) The individual has failed to complete a formally directed 
substance abuse or driver's training program.


Sec.  634.15  Restricted driving privileges or probation.

    (a) For the Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and DLA, the 
installation commander, or his or her designee 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, 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 license or right to operate motor vehicles 
is under suspension or revocation by a state, Federal, or host nation 
licensing authority. Prior to application for probation or restricted 
driving privileges, a state, Federal, or host nation driver's license 
or right to operate motor vehicles must be reinstated. The burden of 
proof for reinstatement of driving privileges lies with the person 
applying for probation or restricted driving privileges. Revocations 
for test refusals shall remain.
    (d) The installation commander or designee may grant restricted 
driving privileges or probation on a case-by-case basis provided the 
person's state or host nation driver's license or right to operate 
motor vehicles remains valid to accommodate any of the following 
reasons:
    (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 terms and limitations on a restricted driving privilege 
(for example, authorization to drive to and from place of employment or 
duty, or selected installation facilities such as hospital, commissary, 
and or other facilities) will be specified in writing and provided to 
the individual concerned. Persons found in violation of the restricted 
privilege are subject to revocation action as prescribed in Sec.  
634.9.
    (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 and contractors, who can demonstrate that 
suspension or revocation of installation driving privileges would 
constructively remove them from employment, may be given a limiting 
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. 2302(b)(10)). This is not to 
be construed as limiting the commander from suspension or revocation of 
on-duty driving privileges or seizure of Optional Form (OF) 346, U.S. 
Government Motor Vehicle Operator's Identification Card 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.  634.16  Reciprocal State-Military action.

    (a) Commanders will recognize the interests of the states in 
matters of POV administration and driver licensing. Statutory authority 
may exist within some states or host nations for reciprocal suspension 
and revocation of driving privileges. See subpart D of this part for 
additional information on exchanging and obtaining information with 
civilian law enforcement agencies concerning infractions by Armed 
Service personnel off post. Installation commanders will honor the 
reciprocal authority and direct the installation law enforcement 
officer to pursue reciprocity with state or host nation licensing 
authorities. Upon receipt of written or other official law enforcement 
communication relative to the suspension/revocation of driving 
privileges, the receiving installation will terminate driving 
privileges as if violations occurred within its own jurisdiction.
    (b) When imposing a suspension or revocation for an off-
installation offense, the effective date should be the same as civil 
disposition, or the date that state or host-nation driving privileges 
are suspended or revoked. This effective date can be retroactive.
    (c) If statutory authority does not exist within the state or host 
nation for formal military reciprocity, the procedures below will be 
adopted:
    (1) Commanders will recognize official documentation of 
suspensions/revocations imposed by state or host nation authorities. 
Administrative actions (suspension/revocations, or if recognized, point 
assessment) for moving traffic violations off the installation should 
not be less than required for similar offenses on the installation. 
When notified by state or host nation authorities of a suspension or 
revocation, the person's OF 346 may also be suspended.
    (2) In CONUS locations, the host and issuing state licensing 
authority will be notified as soon as practical when a person's 
installation driving privileges are suspended or revoked for any 
period, and immediately for refusal to submit to a lawful BAC test. The 
notification will be sent to the appropriate state DMV(s) per 
reciprocal agreements. In the absence of electronic communication 
technology, the appropriate state DMV(s) will be notified by official 
certified mail. The notification will include the basis for the 
suspension/revocation and the BAC level if applicable.
    (d) In OCONUS locations, installation commanders must follow 
provisions of the applicable Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA), the law 
of the host nation concerning reciprocal suspension and revocation, and 
other international agreements. To the extent an agreement concerning 
reciprocity may be permitted at a particular overseas installation, the 
commander must have prior authorization to negotiate and conclude such 
an international agreement in accordance with applicable international 
agreements, DODD 5530.3, International Agreements, June 87, and other 
individual Service instructions.


Sec.  634.17  Extensions of suspensions and revocations.

    (a) Driving in violation of a suspension or revocation imposed 
under this part will result in the original period of suspension or 
revocation being increased by two years. In addition, administrative 
action may be initiated based on the commission of

[[Page 78998]]

any traffic, criminal, or military offenses, for example, active duty 
military personnel driving on the installation in violation of a lawful 
order.
    (b) For each subsequent determination within a five-year period 
that revocation is authorized under Sec.  634.9, military personnel, 
DOD civilians, contractors and NAF employees will be prohibited from 
obtaining or using an OF 346 for six months for each such incident. A 
determination whether DOD civilian personnel should be prohibited from 
obtaining or using an OF 346 will be made in accordance with the 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 driving 
privileges on personnel until completion of an approved remedial driver 
training course or alcohol or drug counseling programs after proof is 
provided.
    (d) Commanders may extend a suspension or revocation of driving 
privileges on civilian personnel convicted of intoxicated driving on 
the installation until successful completion of a state or installation 
approved alcohol or drug rehabilitation program.
    (e) For Navy personnel 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 the 
traffic accident, or driver cited for a moving violation).


Sec.  634.18  Reinstatement of driving privileges.

    Reinstatement of driving privileges shall be automatic, provided 
all revocations applicable have expired, proper proof of completion of 
remedial driving course and/or substance abuse counseling has been 
provided, and reinstatement requirements of individual's home state 
and/or state the individual may have been suspended in, have been met.

Subpart C--Motor Vehicle Registration


Sec.  634.19  Registration policy.

    (a) Services may require motor vehicle registration according to 
guidance in this regulation and in policies of each Service and DLA. A 
person who lives or works on an installation or often uses the 
facilities may be required to register his or her vehicle. Where 
required, individuals who access the installation for regular 
activities such as use of medical facilities and regular recurring 
activities on the installation should register their vehicles according 
to a standard operating procedure established by the installation 
commander. The person need not own the vehicle to register it, but must 
have a lease agreement, power of attorney, or notarized statement from 
the owner of the vehicle specifying the inclusive dates for which 
permission to use the vehicle has been granted.
    (b) Vehicles intended for construction and material handling, or 
used solely off the road, are usually not registered as motor vehicles. 
Installation commanders may require registration of off-road vehicles 
and bicycles under a separate local system.
    (c) Commanders can grant limited temporary registration for up to 
30 days, pending permanent registration, or in other circumstances for 
longer terms.
    (d) DD Form 2220 vehicle decal. The Department of Defense does not 
require vehicles entering Department of Defense installations to be 
registered via the DD Form 2220 vehicle decal; however installations 
may utilize DD Form 2220 for registration at the installation 
commander's discretion. All privately owned vehicles (POVs) must 
continue to be licensed, registered, inspected, and insured in 
accordance with state and local laws.
    (e) Rental vehicles are considered POVs for purposes of 
installation entry and access control. The vehicle rental contract will 
suffice as proper licensing, registration and insurance for 
installation access.
    (f) Army Installation commanders may establish local visitor 
identification for individuals who will be on installation for less 
than 30 days. The local policy will provide for use of temporary passes 
that establish a start and end date for which the pass is valid. Army 
installation commanders must refer to AR 190-13, chapter 8, for 
guidance concerning installation access control (Air Force, see AFI 31-
113). Other Armed Services and DLA may develop and issue visitor passes 
locally.
    (g) The conditions in Sec.  634.20 must be met to operate a POV on 
an Army and DLA Installation. Other Armed Services that do not require 
registration will enforce Sec.  634.20 through traffic enforcement 
actions. Additionally, failure to comply with Sec.  634.20 may result 
in administrative suspension or revocation of driving privileges.


Sec.  634.20  Privately Owned Vehicle operation requirements.

    Personnel seeking to register their POVs on military installations 
within the United States or its territories and in overseas areas will 
comply with the following requirements. (Registration in overseas 
commands may be modified in accordance with international agreements or 
military necessity.)
    (a) Possess a valid state, overseas command, host nation or 
international drivers license (within appropriate classification), 
supported by a DD Form 2-Series Identification Card, or other 
appropriate identification for DOD civilians, contractors and retirees.
    (b) Possess a certificate of state registration as required by the 
state in which the vehicle is registered.
    (c) Comply with the minimum requirements of the automobile 
insurance laws or regulations of the state or host nation. In overseas 
commands where host nation laws do not require minimum personal injury 
and property damage liability insurance, the major overseas commander 
will set reasonable liability insurance requirements for registration 
and/or operation of POVs within the confines of military installations 
and areas where the commander exercises jurisdiction. Prior to 
implementation, insurance requirements in host states or nations should 
be formally coordinated with the appropriate host agency.
    (d) Satisfactorily complete a safety and mechanical vehicle 
inspection by the state or jurisdiction in which the vehicle is 
licensed. If neither state nor local jurisdiction requires a periodic 
safety inspection, installation commanders may require and conduct an 
annual POV safety inspection; however, inspection facilities must be 
reasonably accessible to those requiring use. Inspections will meet 
minimum standards established by the National Highway Traffic Safety 
Administration (NHTSA) in 49 CFR part 570. Lights, turn signals, brake 
lights, horn, wipers, and pollution control devices and standards in 
areas where applicable, should be included in the inspection. Vehicles 
modified from factory standards and determined unsafe may be denied 
access and registration.
    (e) Possess current proof of compliance with local vehicle emission 
inspection if required by the state, and maintenance requirements.
    (f) Vehicles that have been modified in an unsafe manner, as 
determined by an inspection that is consistent with the standards in 49 
CFR part 570, will be denied registration.


Sec.  634.21  Department of Defense Form 2220.

    (a) Use. The DD Form 2220 may be used to identify registered POVs 
on Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps,

[[Page 78999]]

and DLA installations or facilities. The requirement to affix the DD 
Form 2220 to the front windshield or bumper of registered vehicles is 
waived for general officers and flag officers of all Armed Services, 
Armed Service Secretaries, political appointees, members of Congress, 
and the diplomatic corps.
    (1) Each Service and DLA will procure its own forms and 
installation and expiration tabs. For the Army, the basic decal will be 
ordered through publications channels and remain on the vehicle until 
the registered owner disposes of the vehicle, separates from active 
duty or other conditions specified in paragraph (a)(2) of this section. 
Air Force, DLA, and Army retirees may retain DD Form 2220. Service 
retirees may be required to follow the same registration procedures as 
active duty personnel. Upon termination of affiliation with the 
Service, the registered owner or authorized operator is responsible for 
removing the DD Form 2220 from the vehicle and surrender of the decal 
to the issuing office. Service installations requiring registration are 
responsible for the costs of procuring decals with the name of their 
installation and related expiration tabs.
    (2) Services and DLA, will require removal of the DD Form 2220, and 
installation and expiration tabs from POVs by the owner prior to 
departure from their current installation, retirement, or separation 
from military or Government affiliation, termination of ownership, 
registration, liability insurance, or other conditions further 
identified by local policy.
    (b) Specifications. (1) DD Form 2220 and installation and 
expiration tabs will consist of international blue borders and printing 
on a white background. Printer information will include the following: 
(i) Form title (Department of Defense Registered Vehicle).
    (ii) Alphanumeric individual form identification number.
    (iii) DOD seal.
    (2) Name of the installation will be specified on a separate tab 
abutting the decal. Each Service or DLA may choose optional color codes 
for the registrant. Army and installations having vehicle registration 
programs will use the following standard color scheme for the 
installation tab:
    (i) Blue-officers.
    (ii) Red-enlisted.
    (iii) Green DA civilian employees (including NAF employees).
    (iv) Black-contractor personnel and other civilians employed on the 
installation. White will be used for contract personnel on Air Force 
installations.
    (3) An expiration tab identifying the month and year (6-2004), the 
year (2000) or simply ``00'' will be abutted to right of the decal. For 
identification purposes, the date of expiration will be shown in bold 
block numbers on a lighter contrasting background such as traffic 
yellow, lime, or orange.
    (4) DD Form 2220 and any adjoining tabs will be theft resistant 
when applied to glass, metal, painted, or rubberized surfaces and 
manufactured so as to obliterate or self destruct when removal is 
attempted. Local policy guided by state or host nation laws will 
specify the exact placement of DD Form 2220.
    (5) Services may issue military and retired personnel grade 
insignia that will be affixed on placards, approximately five inches by 
eight inches in size, and placed on the driver's side dashboard. 
Placards should be removed from view when the vehicle is not located on 
a military installation.


Sec.  634.22  Gold Star decals.

    (a) For Army installations only, a serial-numbered Gold Star 
vehicle identification decal may be issued in accordance with guidance 
from the Army's Office of the Assistant Chief of Staff for Installation 
Management. The decals may be obtained through Army installation 
Survivor Outreach Services and may serve as a temporary vehicle 
registration in accordance with DoD security standards.
    (b) Gold Star decals issued to identify Surviving Family Members of 
deceased Soldiers may be used to identify POVs and expedite processing 
for installation access.
    (c) Gold Star decals do not exempt vehicles and passengers from DOD 
and Army installation access screening procedures.
    (d) A physical and visual inspection of ID cards shall be conducted 
by security forces when required for installation access.


Sec.  634.23  Termination or denial of registration.

    Installation commanders or their designated representatives will 
terminate POV registration or deny initial registration under the 
following conditions (decal and tabs will be removed from the vehicle 
when registration is terminated):
    (a) The owner fails to comply with the registration requirements.
    (b) The owner sells or disposes of the POV, is released from active 
duty, separated from the Service, or terminates civilian employment 
with a military Service or DOD agency. Army and Air Force personnel on 
a permanent change of station will retain the DD Form 2220 if the 
vehicle is moved to their new duty station.
    (c) The owner is other than an active duty military or civilian 
employee and discontinues regular operations of the POV on the 
installation.
    (d) The owner's state, overseas command, or host nation driver's 
license is suspended or revoked, or the installation driving privilege 
is revoked. Air Force does not require removal of the DD Form 2220 when 
driving privileges are suspended for an individual. When vehicle 
registration is terminated in conjunction with the revocation of 
installation driving privileges, the affected person must apply to re-
register the POV after the revocation expires. Registration should not 
be terminated if other family members having installation driving 
privileges require use of the vehicle.


Sec.  634.24  Specified consent to impoundment.

    Personnel registering POVs on DOD installations must consent to the 
impoundment policy. POV registration forms will contain or have 
appended to them a certificate with the following statement: ``I am 
aware that (insert number and title of separate Service or DLA 
directive) and the installation traffic code provide for the removal 
and temporary impoundment of privately owned motor vehicles that are 
either parked illegally, or for unreasonable periods, interfering with 
military operations, creating a safety hazard, disabled by accident, 
left unattended in a restricted or control area, or abandoned. I agree 
to reimburse the United States for the cost of towing and storage 
should my motor vehicle(s), because of such circumstances, be removed 
and impounded.''

Subpart D--Traffic Supervision


Sec.  634.25  Traffic planning and codes.

    (a) Safe and efficient movement of traffic on an installation 
requires traffic supervision. A traffic supervision program includes 
traffic circulation planning and control of motor vehicle traffic; 
publication and enforcement of traffic laws and regulations; and 
investigation of motor vehicle accidents.
    (b) Installation commanders will develop traffic circulation plans 
that provide for the safest and most efficient use of primary and 
secondary roads. Circulation planning should be a major part of all 
long-range master planning at installations. The traffic circulation 
plan is developed by the installation law enforcement officer, 
engineer, safety officer, and other concerned staff agencies. Highway 
engineering

[[Page 79000]]

representatives from adjacent civil communities must be consulted to 
ensure the installation plan is compatible with the current and future 
circulation plan of the community. The plan should include the 
following:
    (1) Normal and peak load routing based on traffic control studies.
    (2) Effective control of traffic using planned direction, including 
measures for special events and adverse road or weather conditions.
    (3) Point control at congested locations by law enforcement 
personnel or designated traffic directors or wardens, including trained 
school-crossing guards.
    (4) Use of traffic control signs and devices.
    (5) Efficient use of available parking facilities.
    (6) Efficient use of mass transportation.
    (c) Traffic control studies will provide factual data on existing 
roads, traffic density and flow patterns, and points of congestion. The 
installation law enforcement officer and traffic engineer usually 
conduct coordinated traffic control studies to obtain the data. 
Accurate data will help determine major and minor routes, location of 
traffic control devices, and conditions requiring engineering or 
enforcement services.
    (d) The (Military) Surface Deployment and Distribution Command 
Transportation Engineering Agency (SDDCTEA) will help installation 
commanders solve complex highway traffic engineering problems. SDDCTEA 
traffic engineering services include--
    (1) Traffic studies of limited areas and situations.
    (2) Complete studies of traffic operations of entire installations. 
(This can include long-range planning for future development of 
installation roads, public highways, and related facilities.)
    (3) Assistance in complying with established traffic engineering 
standards.
    (e) Installation commanders should submit requests for traffic 
engineering services in accordance with applicable service or agency 
directives.


Sec.  634.26  Installation traffic codes.

    (a) Installation or activity commanders will establish a traffic 
code for operation of motor vehicles on the installation. Commanders in 
overseas areas will establish a traffic code, under provisions of this 
Part, to the extent military authority is empowered to regulate traffic 
on the installation under the applicable SOFA. Traffic codes will 
contain the rules of the road (parking violations, towing instructions, 
safety equipment, and other key provisions). These codes will, where 
possible, conform to the code of the State or host nation in which the 
installation is located. In addition, the development and publication 
of installation traffic codes will be based on the following:
    (1) State Highway Safety Program Standards (23 U.S.C. 402).
    (2) Applicable portions of the Uniform Vehicle Code and Model 
Traffic Ordinance published by the National Committee on Uniform 
Traffic Laws and Ordinances.
    (b) The installation traffic code will contain policy and 
procedures for the towing, searching, impounding, and inventorying of 
POVs. These provisions should be well publicized and contain the 
following:
    (1) Specific violations and conditions under which the POV will be 
impounded and towed.
    (2) Procedures to immediately notify the vehicle owner.
    (3) Procedures for towing and storing impounded vehicles.
    (4) Actions to dispose of the vehicle after lawful impoundment.
    (5) Violators are responsible for all costs of towing, storage and 
impounding of vehicles for other than evidentiary reasons.
    (c) Installation traffic codes will also contain the provisions 
discussed as follows: (Army users see AR 385-10).
    (1) Motorcycles and mopeds. For motorcycles and other self-
propelled, open, two-wheel, three-wheel, and four-wheel vehicles 
powered by a motorcycle-type engine, the following traffic rules apply:
    (i) Headlights will be on at all times when in operation.
    (ii) A rear view mirror will be attached to each side of the 
handlebars.
    (iii) Approved protective helmets (DOT compliance), eye protection, 
sturdy over-the-ankle footwear that affords protection for the feet and 
ankles, and protective clothing including long-sleeved shirt or jacket, 
long trousers, and full-fingered gloves or mittens made from leather or 
other abrasion-resistant material must be worn by operators and 
passengers when in operation. Motorcycle jackets and pants constructed 
of abrasion-resistant materials such as leather, Kevlar[supreg], or 
Cordura[supreg] and containing impact-absorbing padding are strongly 
encouraged. Riders are encouraged to select PPE that incorporates 
fluorescent colors and retro-reflective material.
    (2) Restraint systems. (i) Restraint systems (seat belts) will be 
worn by all operators and passengers of U.S. Government vehicles on or 
off the installation.
    (ii) Restraint systems will be worn by all civilian personnel 
(including family members, guests, and visitors) driving or riding in a 
POV on the installation.
    (iii) Restraint systems will be worn by all military service 
members and Reserve Component members on active Federal service driving 
or riding in a POV whether on or off the installation.
    (iv) Each occupant riding in a passenger motor vehicle who is under 
eight years of age, weighs less than 65 pounds and is less than four 
feet, nine inches in height must be secured in an age-appropriate child 
restraint.
    (v) Restraint systems are required only in vehicles manufactured 
after model year 1966.
    (3) Driver Distractions. Vehicle operators on a DoD installation 
and operators of Government owned vehicles, as well as Federal 
employees (including service members) operating a POV on official 
government business or using electronic equipment provided by the 
Government while driving, will not use a personal wireless 
communication device, including for text messaging or any other form of 
electronic data retrieval or electronic data communication, unless the 
vehicle is safely parked or unless they are using a hands-free device. 
The wearing of any other portable headphones, earphones, or other 
listening devices (except for hands-free use of cellular phones) while 
operating a motor vehicle is prohibited. Use of those devices impairs 
driving and masks or prevents recognition of emergency signals, alarms, 
announcements, the approach of vehicles, and human speech. The DOD 
component safety guidance should note the potential for driver 
distractions such as eating and drinking, operating radios, CD players, 
global positioning equipment, and so on. Whenever possible this should 
only be done when the vehicle is safely parked.
    (d) Only administrative actions (reprimand, assessment of points, 
loss of on-post driving privileges, or other actions) will be initiated 
against service members for off-post violations of the installation 
traffic code.
    (e) In States where traffic law violations are State criminal 
offenses, such laws are made applicable under the provisions of 18 
U.S.C. 13 to military installations having concurrent or exclusive 
Federal jurisdiction.
    (f) In those States where violations of traffic law are not 
considered criminal offenses and cannot be assimilated under 18 U.S.C., 
DODD 5525.4, enclosure 1 expressly adopts the vehicular and pedestrian 
traffic laws of

[[Page 79001]]

such States and makes these laws applicable to military installations 
having concurrent or exclusive Federal jurisdiction. It also delegates 
authority to installation commanders to establish additional vehicular 
and pedestrian traffic rules and regulations for their installations. 
Persons found guilty of violating the vehicular and pedestrian traffic 
laws made applicable on the installation under provisions of that 
directive are subject to a fine as determined by the local magistrate 
or imprisonment for not more than 30 days, or both, for each violation. 
In those States where traffic laws cannot be assimilated, an extract 
copy of this paragraph (f) and a copy of the delegation memorandum in 
DODD 5525.4, enclosure 1, will be posted in a prominent place 
accessible to persons assigned, living, or working on the installation.
    (g) In those States where violations of traffic laws cannot be 
assimilated because the Federal Government's jurisdictional authority 
on the installation or parts of the installation is only proprietary, 
neither 18 U.S.C. 13 nor the delegation memorandum in DoDD 5525.4, 
enclosure 1, will permit enforcement of the State's traffic laws in 
Federal courts. Law enforcement authorities on those military 
installations must rely on either administrative sanctions related to 
the installation driving privilege or enforcement of traffic laws by 
State law enforcement authorities.


Sec.  634.27  Traffic law enforcement principles.

    (a) Traffic law enforcement should motivate drivers to operate 
vehicles safely within traffic laws and regulations and maintain an 
effective and efficient flow of traffic. Effective enforcement should 
emphasize voluntary compliance by drivers and can be achieved by the 
following actions:
    (1) Publishing a realistic traffic code well known by all 
personnel.
    (2) Adopting standard signs, markings, and signals in accordance 
with NHSPS and the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for 
Streets and Highways.
    (3) Ensuring enforcement personnel establish courteous, personal 
contact with drivers and act promptly when driving behavior is improper 
or a defective vehicle is observed in operation.
    (4) Maintaining an aggressive program to detect and apprehend 
persons who drive while privileges are suspended or revoked.
    (5) Using sound discretion and judgment in deciding when to 
apprehend, issue citations, or warn the offender.
    (b) Selective enforcement will be used when practical. Selective 
enforcement deters traffic violations and reduces accidents by the 
presence or suggested presence of law enforcement personnel at places 
where violations, congestion, or accidents frequently occur. Selective 
enforcement applies proper enforcement measures to traffic congestion 
and focuses on selected time periods, conditions, and violations that 
cause accidents. Law enforcement personnel use selective enforcement 
because that practice is the most effective use of resources.
    (c) Enforcement activities against intoxicated driving will 
include--
    (1) Detecting, apprehending, and testing persons suspected of 
driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
    (2) Training law enforcement personnel in special enforcement 
techniques.
    (3) Enforcing blood-alcohol concentration standards. (See Sec.  
634.35).
    (4) Denying installation driving privileges to persons whose use of 
alcohol or other drugs prevents safe operation of a motor vehicle.
    (d) Installation officials will formally evaluate traffic 
enforcement on a regular basis. That evaluation will examine procedures 
to determine if the following elements of the program are effective in 
reducing traffic accidents and deaths:
    (1) Selective enforcement measures;
    (2) Suspension and revocation actions; and
    (3) Chemical breath-testing programs.


Sec.  635.28  Speed-measuring devices.

    Speed-measuring devices will be used in traffic control studies and 
enforcement programs. Signs may be posted to indicate speed-measuring 
devices are being used.
    (a) Equipment purchases. Installations will ensure operators attend 
an appropriate training program for the equipment in use.
    (b) Training and certification standards. (1) The commander of each 
installation using traffic radar will ensure that personnel selected as 
operators of such devices meet training and certification requirements 
prescribed by the State (or SOFA) in which the installation is located. 
Specific information on course dates, costs, and prerequisites for 
attending may be obtained by contacting the State agency responsible 
for police traffic radar training.
    (2) Installation commanders located in States or overseas areas 
where no formal training program exists, or where the military 
personnel are unable or ineligible to participate in police traffic 
radar training programs, may implement their own training program or 
use a selected civilian institution or manufacturer's course.
    (3) The objective of the civilian or manufacturer-sponsored course 
is to improve the effectiveness of speed enforcement through the proper 
and efficient use of speed-measurement radar. On successful completion, 
the course graduate must be able to--
    (i) Describe the association between excessive speed and accidents, 
deaths, and injuries, and describe the traffic safety benefits of 
effective speed control.
    (ii) Describe the basic principles of radar speed measurement.
    (iii) Identify and describe the Service's policy and procedures 
affecting radar speed measurement and speed enforcement.
    (iv) Identify the specific radar instrument used and describe the 
instrument's major components and functions.
    (v) Demonstrate basic skills in checking calibration and operating 
the specific radar instrument(s).
    (vi) Demonstrate basic skills in preparing and presenting records 
and courtroom testimony relating to radar speed measurement and 
enforcement.
    (c) Recertification. Recertification of operators will occur every 
three years, or as prescribed by State law.


Sec.  634.29  Traffic accident investigation.

    Installation law enforcement personnel must make detailed 
investigations of accidents described in this section:
    (a) Accidents involving Government vehicles or Government property 
on the installation involving a fatality, personal injury, or estimated 
property damage in the amount established by separate Service/DLA 
policy. (Minimum damage limits are: Army, $1,000; Air Force, as 
specified by the installation commander; Navy and Marine Corps, $500.) 
The installation motor pool will provide current estimates of the cost 
of repairs. Investigations of off-installation accidents involving 
Government vehicles will be made in cooperation with the civilian law 
enforcement agency.
    (b) POV accidents on the installation involving a fatality, 
personal injury, or when a POV is inoperable as a result of an 
accident.
    (c) Any accident prescribed within a SOFA agreement.

[[Page 79002]]

Sec.  634.30  Traffic accident investigation reports.

    (a) Accidents requiring immediate reports. The driver or owner of 
any vehicle involved in an accident, as described in Sec.  634.29, on 
the installation, must immediately notify the installation law 
enforcement office. The operator of any Government vehicle involved in 
a similar accident off the installation must immediately notify the 
local civilian law enforcement agency having jurisdiction, as well as 
law enforcement personnel of the nearest military installation.
    (b) Investigation records. Installation law enforcement officials 
will record traffic accident investigations on Service/DLA forms. 
Information will be released according to Service/DLA policy, the 
Privacy Act, and the Freedom of Information Act.
    (c) Army law enforcement officers. These officers provide the 
Department of the Army local Safety Office copies of traffic accident 
investigation reports pertaining to accidents investigated by military 
police that resulted in a fatality, personal injury, or estimated 
damage to Government vehicles or property in excess of $1,000.
    (d) POV accidents not addressed in Sec.  634.29. Guidance for 
reporting these cases is provided as follows:
    (1) Drivers or owners of POVs will be required to submit a written 
report to the installation law enforcement office within 24 hours of an 
accident in the following cases, with all information listed in 
paragraph (d)(3) of this section:
    (i) The accident occurs on the installation.
    (ii) The accident involves no personal injury.
    (iii) The accident involves only minor damage to the POV and the 
vehicle can be safely and normally driven from the scene under its own 
power.
    (2) Information in the written report cannot be used in criminal 
proceedings against the person submitting it unless it was originally 
categorized a hit and run and the violator is the person submitting the 
report. Rights advisement will be given prior to any criminal traffic 
statements provided by violators. Within the United States, the 
installation law enforcement official may require such reporting on 
Service forms or forms of the State jurisdiction.
    (3) Reports required in paragraph (d)(1) of this section by the 
Army will include the following about the accident:
    (i) Location, date, and time.
    (ii) Identification of all drivers, pedestrians, and passengers 
involved.
    (iii) Identification of vehicles involved.
    (iv) Speed and direction of travel of each vehicle involved, 
including a sketch of the collision and roadway with street names and 
north arrow.
    (v) Property damage involved.
    (vi) Environmental conditions at the time of the incident (weather, 
visibility, road surface condition, and other factors).
    (vii) A narrative description of the events and circumstances 
concerning the accident.


Sec.  634.31  Use of traffic accident investigation report data.

    (a) Data derived from traffic accident investigation reports and 
from vehicle owner accident reports will be analyzed to determine 
probable causes of accidents. When frequent accidents occur at a 
location, the conditions at the location and the types of accidents 
(collision diagram) will be examined.
    (b) Law enforcement personnel and others who prepare traffic 
accident investigation reports will document on DA Form 3975, Military 
Police Report or other Service equivalent, whether or not seat 
restraint devices were being used at the time of the accident.
    (c) When accidents warrant, an installation commander may establish 
a traffic accident review board. The board will consist of law 
enforcement, engineer, safety, medical, and legal personnel. The board 
will determine principal factors leading to the accident and recommend 
measures to reduce the number and severity of accidents on and off the 
installation. (The Air Force will use Traffic Safety Coordinating 
Groups. The Navy will use Traffic Safety Councils per OPNAVINST 5100.12 
Series).
    (d) Data will be shared with the installation legal, engineer, 
safety, and transportation officers. The data will be used to inform 
and educate drivers and to conduct traffic engineering studies.
    (e) Army traffic accident investigation reports will be provided to 
Army Centralized Accident Investigation of Ground Accidents (CAIG) 
boards on request. The CAIG boards are under the control of the 
Commander, U.S. Army Safety Center, Fort Rucker, AL 36362-5363. These 
boards investigate Class A, on-duty, non-POV accidents and other 
selected accidents Army-wide (See AR 385-40). Local commanders provide 
additional board members as required to complete a timely and accurate 
investigation. Normally, additional board members are senior equipment 
operators, maintenance officers, and medical officers. However, 
specific qualifications of the additional board members may be dictated 
by the nature of the accident.
    (f) The CAIG program is not intended to interfere with, impede, or 
delay law enforcement agencies in the execution of regulatory 
responsibilities that apply to the investigation of accidents for a 
determination of criminal intent or criminal acts. Criminal 
investigations have priority.
    (g) Army law enforcement agencies will maintain close liaison and 
cooperation with CAIG boards. Such cooperation, particularly with 
respect to interviews of victims and witnesses and in collection and 
preservation of physical evidence, should support both the CAIG and law 
enforcement collateral investigations.


Sec.  634.32  Parking.

    (a) The most efficient use of existing on- and off-street parking 
space should be stressed on a non-reserved (first-come, first-served) 
basis.
    (b) Reserved parking facilities should be designated as parking by 
permit or numerically by category of eligible parkers. Designation of 
parking spaces by name, grade, rank, or title should be avoided.
    (c) Illegal parking contributes to congestion and slows traffic 
flow on an installation. Strong enforcement of parking restrictions 
results in better use of available parking facilities and eliminates 
conditions causing traffic accidents.
    (d) The ``Denver boot'' device is authorized for use as a technique 
to assist in the enforcement of parking violations where immobilization 
of the POV is necessary for safety. Under no circumstances should the 
device be used to punish or ``teach a lesson'' to violators. Booting 
should not be used if other reasonably effective but less restrictive 
means of enforcement (such as warnings, ticketing, reprimands, 
revocations, or suspensions of on-post driving privileges) are 
available. Procedures for booting must be developed as follows:
    (1) Local standing operating procedures (SOPs) must be developed to 
control the discretion of enforcers and limit booting to specific 
offenses. SOPs should focus on specific reasons for booting, such as 
immobilization of unsafe, uninspected, or unregistered vehicles or 
compelling the presence of repeat offenders. All parking violations 
must be clearly outlined in the installation traffic code.
    (2) Drivers should be placed on notice that particular violations 
or multiple violations may result in booting. Also, drivers must be 
provided with a prompt hearing and an opportunity to obtain the release 
of their property.

[[Page 79003]]

    (3) To limit liability, drivers must be warned when a boot is 
attached to their vehicle and instructed how to have the boot removed 
without damaging the vehicle.


Sec.  634.33  Traffic violation reports.

    (a) Most traffic violations occurring on DOD installations (within 
the UNITED STATES or its territories) should be referred to the proper 
U.S. Magistrate. (Army, see AR 190-45; DLA, see DLA One Book Process 
Chapter, Criminal Offenses and U.S. Federal Court Procedures; and Air 
Force, see AFI 51-905). However, violations are not referred when--
    (1) The operator is driving a Government vehicle at the time of the 
violation.
    (2) A Federal Magistrate is either not available or lacks 
jurisdiction to hear the matter because the violation occurred in an 
area where the Federal Government has only proprietary legislative 
jurisdiction.
    (3) Mission requirements make referral of offenders impractical.
    (4) A U.S. Magistrate is available but the accused refuses to 
consent to the jurisdiction of the court and the U.S. Attorney refuses 
to process the case before a U.S. District Court. For the Navy, DUI and 
driving under the influence of drugs cases will be referred to the 
Federal Magistrate.
    (b) Installation commanders will establish administrative 
procedures for processing traffic violations.
    (1) All traffic violators on military installations will be issued 
either a DD Form 1408 (Armed Forces Traffic Ticket) or a Central 
Violations Bureau (CVB) United States District Court Violation Notice 
(DCVN), as appropriate. Unless specified otherwise by separate Service/
DLA policy, only on-duty law enforcement personnel (including game 
wardens) designated by the installation law enforcement officer may 
issue these forms. Air Force individuals certified under the Parking 
Traffic Warden Program may issue DD Form 1408 in areas under their 
control.
    (2) A copy of all reports on military personnel and DOD civilian 
employees apprehended for intoxicated driving will be forwarded to the 
installation alcohol and drug abuse facility.
    (c) Installation commanders will establish procedures used for 
disposing of traffic violation cases through administrative or judicial 
action consistent with the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) and 
Federal law.
    (d) The CVB will be used to refer violations of State traffic laws 
made applicable to the installation (Assimilative Crimes Act (18 U.S.C. 
13) and the delegation memorandum in DoDD 5525.4, enclosure 1, and 
other violations of Federal law) to the U.S. Magistrate. (Army users, 
see AR 190-45.)
    (1) A copy of DD Form 1805 and any traffic violation reports on 
military personnel and DOD civilian employees will be forwarded to the 
commander or supervisor of the violator. DA form 3975 may be use to 
forward the report.
    (2) Detailed instructions for properly completing the CVB are 
contained in separate Service policy directives.
    (3) The assimilation of State traffic laws as Federal offenses 
should be identified by a specific State code reference in the CODE 
SECTION block of the CVB (or in a complaint filed with the U.S. 
Magistrate).
    (4) The Statement of Probable Cause on the CVB will be used 
according to local staff judge advocate and U.S. Magistrate court 
policy. The Statement of Probable Cause is required by the Federal 
misdemeanor rules to support the issuance of a summons or arrest 
warrant.
    (5) For cases referred to U.S. Magistrates, normal distribution of 
the CVB will be as follows:
    (i) The installation law enforcement official will forward copy 1 
(white) and copy 2 (yellow) to the U.S. District Court (Central 
Violation Bureau).
    (ii) The installation law enforcement office will file copy 3 
(pink).
    (iii) Law enforcement personnel will provide copy 4 (envelope) to 
the violator.
    (e) When DD Form 1408 is used, one copy (including written 
warnings) will be forwarded through command channels to the service 
member's commander, to the commander of the military family member's 
sponsor, or to the civilian's supervisor or employer as the 
installation commander may establish.
    (1) Previous traffic violations committed by the offender and 
points assessed may be shown.
    (2) For violations that require a report of action taken, the DD 
Form 1408 will be returned to the office of record through the 
reviewing authority as the installation commander may establish.
    (3) When the report is received by the office of record, that 
office will enter the action on the violator's driving record.


Sec.  634.34  Training of law enforcement personnel.

    (a) As a minimum, installation law enforcement personnel will be 
trained to do the following:
    (1) Recognize signs of alcohol and other drug impairment in persons 
operating motor vehicles.
    (2) Prepare DD Form 1920 (Alcohol Influence Report).
    (3) Perform the three field tests of the improved sobriety testing 
techniques (Sec.  634.36[b]).
    (4) Determine when a person appears intoxicated but is actually 
physically or mentally ill and requires prompt medical attention.
    (5) Understand the operation of breath-testing devices.
    (b) Each installation using breath-testing devices will ensure that 
operators of these devices--
    (1) Are chosen for integrity, maturity, and sound judgment.
    (2) Meet certification requirements of the State where the 
installation is located.
    (c) Installations located in States or overseas areas having a 
formal breath-testing and certification program should ensure operators 
attend that training.
    (d) Installations located in States or overseas areas with no 
formal training program will train personnel at courses offered by 
selected civilian institutions or manufacturers of the equipment.
    (e) Operators must maintain proficiency through refresher training 
every 18 months or as required by the State.


Sec.  634.35  Blood alcohol concentration standards.

    (a) Administrative revocation of driving privileges and other 
enforcement measures will be applied uniformly to offenders driving 
under the influence of alcohol or drugs. When a person is tested under 
the implied consent provisions of Sec.  634.8, the results of the test 
will be evaluated as follows:
    (1) If the percentage is 0.05 but less than 0.08, presume the 
person may be impaired. This standard may be considered with other 
competent evidence in determining whether the person was under the 
influence of alcohol.
    (2) If the percentage is 0.08 or more, or if tests reflect the 
presence of illegal drugs, the person was driving while intoxicated.
    (b) Percentages in paragraph (a) of this section are percent of 
weight by volume of alcohol in the blood based on grams of alcohol per 
100 milliliters of blood. These presumptions will be considered with 
other evidence in determining intoxication.


Sec.  634.36  Chemical testing policies and procedures.

    (a) Validity of chemical testing. Results of chemical testing are 
valid under this part only under the following circumstances:
    (1) Blood, urine, or other bodily substances are tested using 
generally

[[Page 79004]]

accepted scientific and medical methods and standards.
    (2) Breath tests are administered by qualified personnel (Sec.  
634.33).
    (3) An evidential breath-testing device approved by the State or 
host nation is used. For Army, Air Force, and Marine Corps, the device 
must also be listed on the NHTSA ``Conforming Products List of 
Evidential Breath Measurement Devices'' (77 FR 35747, and subsequent 
updates that NHTSA may publish periodically in the Federal Register). 
The most current NHTSA list may be found by searching the Federal 
Register Web site (https://www.federalregister.gov/articles/search?conditions%5Bterm%5D=%22Conforming+Products+List+of+Evidential+Breath+Measurement+Devices%22).
    (4) Procedures established by the State or host nation or as 
prescribed in paragraph (b) of this section are followed.
    (b) Breath-testing device operational procedures. If the State or 
host nation has not established procedures for use of breath-testing 
devices, the following procedures will apply:
    (1) Screening breath-testing devices will be used--
    (i) During the initial traffic stop as a field sobriety testing 
technique, along with other field sobriety testing techniques, to 
determine if further testing is needed on an evidential breath-testing 
device.
    (ii) According to manufacture operating instructions. (For Army, 
Air Force, and Marine Corps, the screening breath-testing device must 
also be listed on the NHTSA ``Conforming Products List of Evidential 
Breath Measurement Devices'' (see paragraph (a)(3) of this section).
    (2) Evidential breath-testing devices will be used as follows:
    (i) Observe the person to be tested for at least 15 minutes before 
collecting the breath specimen. During this time, the person must not 
drink alcoholic beverages or other fluids, eat, smoke, chew tobacco/
gum, or ingest any substance.
    (ii) Verify calibration and proper operation of the instrument by 
using a control sample immediately before the test.
    (iii) Comply with operational procedures in the manufacturer's 
current instruction manual.
    (iv) Perform preventive maintenance as required by the instruction 
manual.
    (c) Chemical tests of personnel involved in fatal accidents. (1) 
Installation medical authorities will immediately notify the 
installation law enforcement officer of--
    (i) The death of any person involved in a motor vehicle accident.
    (ii) The circumstances surrounding such an accident, based on 
information available at the time of admission or receipt of the body 
of the victim.
    (2) Medical authorities will examine the bodies of those persons 
killed in a motor vehicle accident to include drivers, passengers, and 
pedestrians subject to military jurisdiction. They will also examine 
the bodies of family members, who are 16 years of age or older, if the 
sponsors give their consent. Tests for the presence and concentration 
of alcohol or other drugs in the person's blood, bodily fluids, or 
tissues will be made as soon as possible and where practical within 
eight hours of death. The test results will be included in the medical 
reports.
    (3) As provided by law and medical conditions permitting, a blood 
or breath sample will be obtained from any surviving operator whose 
vehicle is involved in a fatal accident.


Sec.  634.37  Detection, apprehension, and testing of intoxicated 
drivers.

    (a) Law enforcement personnel usually detect drivers under the 
influence of alcohol or other drugs by observing unusual or abnormal 
driving behavior. Drivers showing such behavior will be stopped 
immediately. The cause of the unusual driving behavior will be 
determined, and proper enforcement action will be taken.
    (b) When a law enforcement officer reasonably concludes that the 
individual driving or in control of the vehicle is impaired, field 
sobriety tests should be conducted on the individual. The DD Form 1920 
may be used by law enforcement agencies in examining, interpreting, and 
recording results of such tests. Law enforcement personnel should use 
the Standardized Field Sobriety Test battery as sanctioned by the 
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (consisting of three 
tests: The horizontal gaze nystagmus test, Walk and Turn, and One-Leg 
Stand) and screening breath-testing devices to conduct field sobriety 
tests.


Sec.  634.38  Voluntary breath and bodily fluid testing based on 
implied consent.

    (a) Implied consent policy is explained in Sec.  634.8.
    (b) Tests may be administered only if the following conditions are 
met:
    (1) The person was lawfully stopped while driving, operating, or in 
actual physical control of a motor vehicle on the installation.
    (2) Reasonable suspicion exists to believe that the person was 
driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
    (3) A request was made to the person to consent to the tests 
combined with a warning that failure to voluntarily submit to or 
complete a chemical test of bodily fluids or breath will result in the 
revocation of driving privileges.
    (c) As stated in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section, the law 
enforcement official relying on implied consent will warn the person 
that driving privileges will be revoked if the person fails to 
voluntarily submit to or complete a requested chemical test. The person 
does not have the right to have an attorney present before stating 
whether he or she will submit to a test, or during the actual test. 
Installation commanders will prescribe the type or types of chemical 
tests to be used. Testing will follow policies and procedures in Sec.  
634.35. The results of chemical tests conducted under the implied 
consent provisions of this part may be used as evidence in courts-
martial, non-judicial proceedings under Article 15 of the UCMJ, 
administrative actions, and civilian courts.
    (d) Special rules exist for persons who have hemophilia, other 
blood-clotting disorders, or any medical or surgical disorder being 
treated with an anticoagulant. These persons--
    (1) May refuse a blood extraction test without penalty.
    (2) Will not be administered a blood extraction test to determine 
alcohol or other drug concentration or presence under this part.
    (3) May be given breath or urine tests, or both.
    (e) If a person suspected of intoxicated driving refuses to submit 
to a chemical test, a test will not be administered except as specified 
in Sec.  634.39.


Sec.  634.39  Involuntary extraction of bodily fluids in traffic cases.

    (a) General. The procedures outlined in this section pertain only 
to the investigation of individuals stopped, apprehended, or cited on a 
military installation for any offense related to driving a motor 
vehicle and for whom probable cause exists to believe that such 
individual is intoxicated. Extractions of body fluids in furtherance of 
other kinds of investigations are governed by the Manual for Courts-
Martial, United States, Military Rule of Evidence 315 (2002) (MRE 315), 
and regulatory rules concerning requesting and granting authorizations 
for searches.
    (1) Air Force policy on nonconsensual extraction of blood samples 
is addressed in AFI 44-102.
    (2) Army and Marine Corps personnel should not undertake the 
nonconsensual extraction of body fluids

[[Page 79005]]

for reasons other than a valid medical purpose without first obtaining 
the advice and concurrence of the installation staff judge advocate or 
his or her designee.
    (3) DLA policy on nonconsensual taking of blood samples is 
contained in the DLA One Book Process Chapter, Search and Seizure.
    (b) Procedures. Involuntary bodily fluid extraction must be based 
on valid search and seizure authorization. An individual subject to the 
UCMJ who does not consent to chemical testing, as described in Sec.  
634.37, may nonetheless be subjected to an involuntary extraction of 
bodily fluids, including blood and urine, only in accordance with the 
following procedures:
    (1) An individual subject to the UCMJ who was driving a motor 
vehicle and suspected of being under the influence of an intoxicant may 
be subjected to a nonconsensual bodily fluid extraction to test for the 
presence of intoxicants only when there is a probable cause to believe 
that such an individual was driving or in control of a vehicle while 
under the influence of an intoxicant.
    (i) A search authorization by an appropriate commander or military 
magistrate obtained pursuant to the Manual for Courts-Martial, United 
States, Military Rule of Evidence 315 (2002) is required prior to such 
nonconsensual extraction.
    (ii) A search authorization is not required under such 
circumstances when there is a clear indication that evidence of 
intoxication will be found and there is reason to believe that the 
delay necessary to obtain a search authorization would result in the 
loss or destruction of the evidence sought.
    (iii) Because warrantless searches are subject to close scrutiny by 
the courts, obtaining an authorization is highly preferable. 
Warrantless searches generally should be conducted only after 
coordination with the servicing staff judge advocate or legal officer, 
and attempts to obtain authorization from an appropriate official prove 
unsuccessful due to the unavailability of a commander or military 
magistrate.
    (2) If authorization from the military magistrate or commander 
proves unsuccessful due to the unavailability of such officials, the 
commander of a medical facility is empowered by the Manual for Courts-
Martial, United States, Military Rule of Evidence 315 (2002), to 
authorize such extraction from an individual located in the facility at 
the time the authorization is sought.
    (i) Before authorizing the involuntary extraction, the commander of 
the medical facility should, if circumstances permit, coordinate with 
the servicing staff judge advocate or legal officer.
    (ii) The medical facility commander authorizing the extraction 
under the Manual for Courts-Martial, United States, Military Rule of 
Evidence 315 (2002) need not be on duty as the attending physician at 
the facility where the extraction is to be performed and the actual 
extraction may be accomplished by other qualified medical personnel.
    (iii) The authorizing official may consider his or her own 
observations of the individual in determining probable cause.
    (c) Role of medical personnel. Authorization for the nonconsensual 
extraction of blood samples for evidentiary purposes by qualified 
medical personnel is independent of, and not limited by, provisions 
defining medical care, such as the provision for nonconsensual medical 
care pursuant to AR 600-20, section IV. Extraction of blood will be 
accomplished by qualified medical personnel. (See the Manual for 
Courts-Martial, United States, Military Rule of Evidence 312[g] 
[2002]).
    (1) In performing this duty, medical personnel are expected to use 
only that amount of force that is reasonable and necessary to 
administer the extraction.
    (2) Any force necessary to overcome an individual's resistance to 
the extraction normally will be provided by law enforcement personnel 
or by personnel acting under orders from the member's unit commander.
    (3) Life endangering force will not be used in an attempt to effect 
nonconsensual extractions.
    (4) All law enforcement and medical personnel will keep in mind the 
possibility that the individual may require medical attention for 
possible disease or injury.
    (d) Nonconsensual extractions of blood will be done in a manner 
that will not interfere with or delay proper medical attention. Medical 
personnel will determine the priority to be given involuntary blood 
extractions when other medical treatment is required.
    (e) Use of Army medical treatment facilities and personnel for 
blood alcohol testing has no relevance to whether or not the suspect is 
eligible for military medical treatment. The medical effort in such 
instances is in support of a valid military mission (law enforcement), 
not related to providing medical treatment to an individual.


Sec.  634.40  Testing at the request of the apprehended person.

    (a) A person subject to tests under Sec.  634.8 may request that an 
additional test be done privately. The person may choose a doctor, 
qualified technician, chemist, registered nurse, or other qualified 
person to do the test. The person must pay the cost of the test. The 
test must be a chemical test approved by the State or host nation in an 
overseas command.
    (b) If the tests are requested, the apprehended person is 
responsible for making all arrangements.
    (c) All tests will be completed without unnecessary delay, within 
two hours of detention if possible.
    (d) If the suspect fails to or is unable to obtain any additional 
tests, the results of the tests that were done at the direction of a 
law enforcement official remain valid and may still be used to support 
actions under separate Service regulations, UCMJ, and the U.S. 
Magistrate Court.


Sec.  634.41  General off installation traffic activities.

    In areas not under military control, civil authorities enforce 
traffic laws. Law enforcement authorities will establish a system to 
exchange information with civil authorities. Army and Air Force 
installation law enforcement authorities will establish a system to 
exchange information with civil authorities to enhance the chain of 
command's visibility of a soldier's and airman's off post traffic 
violations. These agreements will provide for the assessment of traffic 
points based on reports from state licensing authorities involving Army 
military personnel. The provisions of Subpart E of this part and the 
VRS automated system provide for the collection of off post traffic 
incident reports and data. As provided in AR 190-45, civilian law 
enforcement agencies are considered routine users of Army law 
enforcement data and will be granted access to data when available from 
Army law enforcement systems of records. Off-installation traffic 
activities in overseas areas are governed by formal agreements with the 
host nation government. Procedures should be established to process 
reports received from civil authorities on serious traffic violations, 
accidents, and intoxicated driving incidents involving persons subject 
to this part. The exchange of information is limited to Army and Air 
Force military personnel. Provost marshals will not collect and use 
data concerning civilian employees, family members, and contract 
personnel except as allowed by state and Federal laws.


Sec.  634.42  Compliance with State laws.

    (a) Installation commanders will inform service members, 
contractors and DOD civilian employees to comply with State and local 
traffic laws when operating government motor vehicles.

[[Page 79006]]

    (b) Commanders will coordinate with the proper civil law 
enforcement agency before moving Government vehicles that exceed legal 
limits or regulations or that may subject highway users to unusual 
hazards. (See AR 55-162/OPNAVINST 4600.11D/AFJI 24-216/MCO 4643.5C).
    (c) Installation commanders will maintain liaison with civil 
enforcement agencies and encourage the following:
    (1) Release of a Government vehicle operator to military 
authorities unless one of the following conditions exists.
    (i) The offense warrants detention.
    (ii) The person's condition is such that further operation of a 
motor vehicle could result in injury to the person or others.
    (2) Prompt notice to military authorities when military personnel 
or drivers of Government motor vehicles have--
    (i) Committed serious violations of civil traffic laws.
    (ii) Been involved in traffic accidents.
    (3) Prompt notice of actions by a State or host nation to suspend, 
revoke, or restrict the State or host nation driver's license (vehicle 
operation privilege) of persons who--
    (i) Operate Government motor vehicles.
    (ii) Regularly operate a POV on the installation. (See also Sec.  
634.16).


Sec.  634.43  Civil-military cooperative programs.

    (a) State-Armed Forces Traffic Workshop Program. This program is an 
organized effort to coordinate military and civil traffic safety 
activities throughout a State or area. Installation commanders will 
cooperate with State and local officials in this program and provide 
proper support and participation.
    (b) Community-Installation Traffic Workshop Program. Installation 
commanders should establish a local workshop program to coordinate the 
installation traffic efforts with those of local communities. Sound and 
practical traffic planning depends on a balanced program of traffic 
enforcement, engineering, and education. Civilian and military legal 
and law enforcement officers, traffic engineers, safety officials, and 
public affairs officers should take part.

Subpart E--Driving Records and the Traffic Point System


Sec.  634.44  Driving records.

    Army installations will use DA Form 3626 (Vehicle Registration/
Driver Record) to record vehicle traffic accidents, moving violations, 
suspension or revocation actions, and traffic point assessments 
involving military and DOD civilian personnel, their family members, 
and other personnel operating motor vehicles on a military 
installation. Other Services and DLA will use their service equivalent 
form for this purpose. Table 1 to part 634 prescribes mandatory minimum 
or maximum suspension or revocation periods. Traffic points are not 
assessed for suspension or revocation actions.

Table 1 to Part 634--Suspension/Revocation of Driving Privileges (See 
Notes 1 and 2).

    Assessment 1: Two-year revocation is mandatory on determination of 
facts by installation commander. (For Army, a five-year revocation is 
mandatory.)
    Violation: Driving while driver's license or installation driving 
privileges are under suspension or revocation.
    Assessment 2: One-year revocation is mandatory on determination of 
facts by installation commander.
    Violation: Refusal to submit to or failure to complete chemical 
tests (implied consent).
    Assessment 3: One-year revocation is mandatory on conviction.
    Violation:
    A. Manslaughter (or negligent homicide by vehicle) resulting from 
the operation of a motor vehicle.
    B. Driving or being in actual physical control of a motor vehicle 
while under the influence of intoxicating liquor (0.08% or greater on 
DOD installations; violation of civil law off post).
    C. Driving a motor vehicle while under the influence of any 
narcotic, or while under the influence of any other drug (including 
alcohol) to the degree rendered incapable of safe vehicle operation.
    D. Use of a motor vehicle in the commission of a felony. Fleeing 
the scene of an accident involving death or personal injury, i.e.: hit 
and run.
    E. Perjury or making a false statement or affidavit under oath to 
responsible officials relating to the ownership or operation of motor 
vehicles.
    F. Unauthorized use of a motor vehicle belonging to another, when 
the act does not amount to a felony.
    Assessment 4: Suspension for a period of six months or less or 
revocation for a period not to exceed one year is discretionary.
    Violation: A. Mental or physical impairment (not including alcohol 
or other drug use) to the degree rendered incompetent to drive.
    B. Commission of an offense in another State which, if committed on 
the installation, would be grounds for suspension or revocation.
    C. Permitting an unlawful or fraudulent use of an official driver's 
license.
    D. Conviction of fleeing, or attempting to elude, a police officer.
    E. Conviction of racing on the highway.
    Assessment 5: Loss of OF 46 for minimum of six months is 
discretionary.
    Violation: Receiving a second one-year suspension or revocation of 
driving privileges within five years.

Notes

    1. When imposing a suspension or revocation because of an off-
installation offense, the effective date should be the same as the date 
of civil conviction, or the date that State or host-nation driving 
privileges are suspended or revoked. This effective date can be 
retroactive.
    2. No points are assessed for revocation or suspension actions. 
Except for implied consent violations, revocations must be based on a 
conviction by a civilian court or courts-martial, non-judicial 
punishment under Article 15, UCMJ, or a separate hearing as addressed 
in this part. If revocation for implied consent is combined with 
another revocation, such as one year for intoxicated driving, 
revocations may run consecutively (total of 24 months) or concurrently 
(total of 12 months). The installation commander's policy should be 
applied systematically and not on a case-by-case basis.


Sec.  634.45  The traffic point system.

    The traffic point system provides a uniform administrative device 
to impartially judge driving performance of Service and DLA personnel. 
This system is not a disciplinary measure or a substitute for punitive 
action. Further, this system is not intended to interfere in any way 
with the reasonable exercise of an installation commander's prerogative 
to issue, suspend, revoke, deny, or reinstate installation driving 
privileges.


Sec.  634.46  Point system application.

    (a) The Services and DLA are required to use the point system and 
procedures prescribed in this section without change.
    (b) The point system in of this part applies to all operators of 
U.S. Government motor vehicles, on or off Federal property. The system 
also applies to violators reported to installation officials in 
accordance with Sec.  634.46.
    (c) Points will be assessed when the person is found to have 
committed a violation and the finding is by either the unit commander, 
civilian supervisor, a

[[Page 79007]]

military or civilian court (including a U.S. Magistrate), or by payment 
of fine, forfeiture of pay or allowances, or posted bond, or 
collateral.

Notes:

    1. When two or more violations are committed on a single occasion, 
points may be assessed for each individual violation.
    2. This measure should be used for other than minor vehicle safety 
defects or when a driver or registrant fails to correct a minor defect 
(for example, a burned out headlight not replaced within the grace 
period on a warning ticket).


Sec.  634.47  Point system procedures.

    (a) Reports of moving traffic violations recorded on DD Form 1408 
or the CVB will serve as a basis for determining point assessment. For 
DD Form 1408, return endorsements will be required from commanders or 
supervisors.
    (b) On receipt of DD Form 1408 or other military law enforcement 
report of a moving violation, the unit commander, designated 
supervisor, or person otherwise designated by the installation 
commander will conduct an inquiry. The commander will take or recommend 
proper disciplinary or administrative action. If a case involves 
judicial or non-judicial actions, the final report of action taken will 
not be forwarded until final adjudication.
    (c) On receipt of the report of action taken (including action by a 
U.S. Magistrate Court on the CVB), the installation law enforcement 
officer will assess the number of points appropriate for the offense, 
and record the traffic points or the suspension or revocation of 
driving privileges on the person's driving record. Except as specified 
otherwise in this part and other Service/DLA regulations, points will 
not be assessed or driving privileges suspended or revoked when the 
report of action taken indicates that neither disciplinary nor 
administrative action was taken.
    (d) Installation commanders may require the following driver 
improvement measures as appropriate:
    (1) Advisory letter through the unit commander or supervisor to any 
person who has acquired six traffic points within a six-month period.
    (2) Counseling or driver improvement interview, by the unit 
commander, of any person who has acquired more than six but less than 
12 traffic points within a six-month period. This counseling or 
interview should produce recommendations to improve driver performance.
    (3) Referral for medical evaluation when a driver, based on 
reasonable belief, appears to have mental or physical limits that have 
had or may have an adverse affect on driving performance.
    (4) Attendance at remedial driver training to improve driving 
performance.
    (5) Referral to an alcohol or drug treatment or rehabilitation 
facility for evaluation, counseling, or treatment. This action is 
required for active military personnel in all cases in which alcohol or 
other drugs are a contributing factor to a traffic citation, incident, 
or accident.
    (e) An individual's driving privileges may be suspended or revoked 
as provided by this part regardless of whether these improvement 
measures are accomplished.
    (f) Persons whose driving privileges are suspended or revoked (for 
one violation or an accumulation of 12 traffic points within 12 
consecutive months, or 18 traffic points within 24 consecutive months) 
will be notified in writing through official channels (Sec.  634.11). 
Except for the mandatory minimum or maximum suspension or revocation 
periods prescribed above, the installation commander will establish 
periods of suspension or revocation. Any revocation based on traffic 
points must be no less than six months. A

[[Page 79008]]

longer period may be imposed on the basis of a person's overall driving 
record considering the frequency, flagrancy, severity of moving 
violations, and the response to previous driver improvement measures. 
In all cases, military members must successfully complete a prescribed 
course in remedial driver training before driving privileges are 
reinstated.
    (g) Points assessed against a person will remain in effect for 
point accumulation purposes for 24 consecutive months. The review of 
driver records to delete traffic points should be done routinely during 
records update while recording new offenses and forwarding records to 
new duty stations. Completion of a revocation based on points requires 
removal from the driver record of all points assessed before the 
revocation.
    (h) Removal of points does not authorize removal of driving record 
entries for moving violations, chargeable accidents, suspensions, or 
revocations. Record entries will remain posted on individual driving 
records for the following periods of time.
    (1) Chargeable nonfatal traffic accidents or moving violations-3 
years.
    (2) Non-mandatory suspensions or revocations-5 years.
    (3) Mandatory revocations-7 years.


Sec.  634.48  Disposition of driving records.

    Procedures will be established to ensure prompt notice to the 
installation law enforcement office when a person assigned to or 
employed on the installation is being transferred to another 
installation, being released from military service, or ending 
employment.
    (a) If persons being transferred to a new installation have valid 
points or other entries on the driving records, the law enforcement 
offices will forward the records to the law enforcement office of the 
gaining installation. Gaining installation law enforcement offices must 
coordinate with applicable commanders and continue any existing 
suspension or revocation based on intoxicated driving or accumulation 
of traffic points. Traffic points for persons being transferred will 
continue to accumulate as specified in Sec.  634.46(g).
    (b) Driving records of military personnel being discharged or 
released from active duty will be retained on file for two years and 
then destroyed. In cases of immediate reenlistment, change of officer 
component or military or civilian retirement when vehicle registration 
is continued, the record will remain active.
    (c) Driving records of civilian personnel terminating employment 
will be retained on file for two years and then destroyed.
    (d) Driving records of military family members containing point 
assessments or other entries will be forwarded to the sponsor's gaining 
installation in the same manner as for service members. At the new 
installation, records will be analyzed and made available temporarily 
to the sponsor's unit commander or supervisor for review.
    (e) Driving records of retirees electing to retain installation 
driving privileges will be retained. Points accumulated or entries on 
the driver record regarding suspensions, revocations, moving 
violations, or chargeable accidents will not be deleted from driver 
records except per Sec.  634.46(g) and (h).
    (f) Army users will comply with paragraphs (a) and (d) of this 
section by mailing the individual's DA Form 3626 to the gaining 
installation Provost Marshal/Director of Emergency Services.

Subpart F--Impounding Privately Owned Vehicles


Sec.  634.49  General.

    This Subpart provides the standards and procedures for law 
enforcement personnel when towing, inventorying, searching, impounding, 
and disposing of POVs. This policy is based on:
    (a) The interests of the Services and DLA in crime prevention, 
traffic safety, and the orderly flow of vehicle traffic movement.
    (b) The vehicle owner's constitutional rights to due process, 
freedom from unreasonable search and seizure, and freedom from 
deprivation of private property.


Sec.  634.50  Standards for impoundment.

    (a) POVs should not be impounded unless the vehicles clearly 
interfere with ongoing operations or movement of traffic, threaten 
public safety or convenience, are involved in criminal activity, 
contain evidence of criminal activity, or are stolen or abandoned.
    (b) The impoundment of a POV would be inappropriate when reasonable 
alternatives to impoundment exist.
    (1) Attempts should be made to locate the owner of the POV and have 
the vehicle removed.
    (2) The vehicle may be moved a short distance to a legal parking 
area and temporarily secured until the owner is found.
    (3) Another responsible person may be allowed to drive or tow the 
POV with permission from the owner, operator, or person empowered to 
control the vehicle. In this case, the owner, operator, or person 
empowered to control the vehicle will be informed that law enforcement 
personnel are not responsible for safeguarding the POV.
    (c) Impounding of POVs is justified when any of the following 
conditions exist:
    (1) The POV is illegally parked--
    (i) On a street or bridge, in a tunnel, or is double parked, and 
interferes with the orderly flow of traffic.
    (ii) On a sidewalk, within an intersection, on a cross-walk, on a 
railroad track, in a fire lane, or is blocking a driveway, so that the 
vehicle interferes with operations or creates a safety hazard to other 
roadway users or the general public. An example would be a vehicle 
parked within 15 feet of a fire hydrant or blocking a properly marked 
driveway of a fire station or aircraft-alert crew facility.
    (iii) When blocking an emergency exit door of any public place 
(installation theater, club, dining hall, hospital, and other 
facility).
    (iv) In a ``tow-away'' zone that is so marked with proper signs.
    (2) The POV interferes with--
    (i) Street cleaning or snow removal operations and attempts to 
contact the owner have been unsuccessful.
    (ii) Emergency operations during a natural disaster or fire or must 
be removed from the disaster area during cleanup operations.
    (3) The POV has been used in a crime or contains evidence of 
criminal activity.
    (4) The owner or person in charge has been apprehended and is 
unable or unwilling to arrange for custody or removal.
    (5) The POV is mechanically defective and is a menace to others 
using the public roadways.
    (6) The POV is disabled by a traffic incident and the operator is 
either unavailable or physically incapable of having the vehicle towed 
to a place of safety for storage or safekeeping.
    (7) Law enforcement personnel reasonably believe the vehicle is 
abandoned.


Sec.  634.51  Towing and storage.

    (a) Impounded POVs may be towed and stored by either the Services 
and DLA or a contracted wrecker service depending on availability of 
towing services and the local commander's preference.
    (b) The installation commander will designate an enclosed area on 
the installation that can be secured by lock and key for an impound lot 
to be used by the military or civilian wrecker service. An approved 
impoundment area belonging to the contracted wrecker service may also 
be used provided the

[[Page 79009]]

area assures adequate accountability and security of towed vehicles. 
One set of keys to the enclosed area will be maintained by the 
installation law enforcement officer or designated individual.
    (c) Temporary impoundment and towing of POVs for violations of the 
installation traffic code or involvement in criminal activities will be 
accomplished under the direct supervision of law enforcement personnel.


Sec.  634.52  Procedures for impoundment.

    (a) Unattended POVs. (1) DD Form 2504 (Abandoned Vehicle Notice) 
will be conspicuously placed on POVs considered unattended. This action 
will be documented by an entry in the installation law enforcement desk 
journal or blotter.
    (2) The owner will be allowed three days from the date the POV is 
tagged to remove the vehicle before impoundment action is initiated. If 
the vehicle has not been removed after three days, it will be removed 
by the installation towing service or the contracted wrecker service. 
If a contracted wrecker service is used, a DD Form 2505 (Abandoned 
Vehicle Removal Authorization) will be completed and issued to the 
contractor by the installation law enforcement office.
    (3) After the vehicle has been removed, the installation law 
enforcement officer or the contractor will complete DD Form 2506 
(Vehicle Impoundment Report) as a record of the actions taken.
    (i) An inventory listing personal property will be done to protect 
the owner, law enforcement personnel, the contractor, and the 
commander.
    (ii) The contents of a closed container such as a suitcase inside 
the vehicle need not be inventoried. Such articles should be opened 
only if necessary to identify the owner of the vehicle or if the 
container might contain explosives or otherwise present a danger to the 
public. Merely listing the container and sealing it with security tape 
will suffice.
    (iii) Personal property must be placed in a secure area for 
safekeeping.
    (4) DD Form 2507 (Notice of Vehicle Impoundment) will be forwarded 
by certified mail to the address of the last known owner of the vehicle 
to advise the owner of the impoundment action, and request information 
concerning the owner's intentions pertaining to the disposition of the 
vehicle.
    (b) Stolen POVs or vehicles involved in criminal activity. (1) When 
the POV is to be held for evidentiary purposes, the vehicle should 
remain in the custody of the applicable Service or DLA until law 
enforcement purposes are served.
    (2) Recovered stolen POVs will be released to the registered owner, 
unless held for evidentiary purposes, or to the law enforcement agency 
reporting the vehicle stolen, as appropriate.
    (3) A POV held on request of other authorities will be retained in 
the custody of the applicable Service or DLA until the vehicle can be 
released to such authorities.


Sec.  634.53  Search incident to impoundment based on criminal 
activity.

    Search of a POV in conjunction with impoundment based on criminal 
activity will likely occur in one of the following general situations:
    (a) The owner or operator is not present. This situation could 
arise during traffic and crime-related impoundments and abandoned 
vehicle seizures. A property search related to an investigation of 
criminal activity should not be conducted without search authority 
unless the item to be seized is in plain view or is readily discernible 
on the outside as evidence of criminal activity. When in doubt, proper 
search authority should be obtained before searching.
    (b) The owner or operator is present. This situation can occur 
during either a traffic or criminal incident, or if the operator is 
apprehended for a crime or serious traffic violation and sufficient 
probable cause exists to seize the vehicle. This situation could also 
arise during cases of intoxicated driving or traffic accidents in which 
the operator is present but incapacitated or otherwise unable to make 
adequate arrangements to safeguard the vehicle. If danger exists to the 
police or public or if there is risk of loss or destruction of 
evidence, an investigative type search of the vehicle may be conducted 
without search authority. (Air Force, see AFP 125-2).


Sec.  634.54  Disposition of vehicles after impoundment.

    (a) If a POV is impounded for evidentiary purposes, the vehicle can 
be held for as long as the evidentiary or law enforcement purpose 
exists. The vehicle must then be returned to the owner without delay 
unless directed otherwise by competent authority.
    (b) If the vehicle is unclaimed after 120 days from the date 
notification was mailed to the last known owner or the owner released 
the vehicle by properly completing DD Form 2505, the vehicle will be 
disposed of by one of the following procedures:
    (1) Release to the lien holder, if known.
    (2) Processed as abandoned property in accordance with DOD 4160.21-
M.
    (i) Property may not be disposed of until diligent effort has been 
made to find the owner; or the heirs, next of kin, or legal 
representative of the owner.
    (ii) The diligent effort to find one of those mentioned in 
paragraph (a) of this section shall begin no later than seven days 
after the date on which the property comes into custody or control of 
the law enforcement agency.
    (iii) The period for which this effort is continued may not exceed 
45 days.
    (iv) If the owner or those mentioned in Sec.  634.53 are 
determined, but not found, the property may not be disposed of until 
the expiration of 45 days after the date when notice, giving the time 
and place of the intended sale or other disposition, has been sent by 
certified or registered mail to that person at their last known 
address.
    (v) When diligent effort to determine those mentioned in paragraph 
(b)(2)(iv) of this section is unsuccessful, the property may be 
disposed of without delay, except that if it has a fair market value of 
more than $500, the law enforcement official may not dispose of the 
property until 45 days after the date it is received at the storage 
point.
    (c) All contracts for the disposal of abandoned vehicles must 
comply with 10 U.S.C. 2575.

Subpart G--List of State Driver's License Agencies


Sec.  634.55  List of State driver's license agencies.

    Notification of State Driver's License Agencies. The installation 
commander will notify the State driver's license agency of those 
personnel whose installation driving privileges are revoked for one 
year or more, following final adjudication of the intoxicated driving 
offense or for refusing to submit to a lawful blood-alcohol content 
test in accordance with Sec.  634.8. This notification will include the 
basis for the suspension and the blood alcohol level. The notification 
will be sent to the State in which the driver's license was issued. A
