The Office of Commissioned Corps Operations (OCCO) seeks to provide excellent customer service to all of
our customers. To assure the fair and equitable processing of requests, OCCO will be following this
policy and the suspense time periods noted above. We ask that managers honor this requirement,
particularly when requesting CAD orders and Permanent Change of Station orders. OCCO staff will work
closely with the Commissioned Corps Liaison in adjusting the effective dates of forms PHS-1662 that do
not meet the 10- or 20-day time frame. |
