PURPOSE OF THIS FORM
This form is to be used by DoS contractors (an individual employed by a firm under contract to DoS to perform services for DoS - sometimes referred to
as "third party contractors") only. This form will be used to notify overseas DoS diplomatic facilities or project sites of the contractor's intention to visit or
deploy to the overseas facility or site in conjunction with official contract business for DoS. This form should not be utilized for notification of personal
travel, and may only be used by DoS contractors. Contractors under contract to other Agencies must arrange for travel notification through that
Agency.
Submission of this form will result in official notification to RSOs, SSMs, and Post Sponsors (when applicable) of dates of visit (Note 1 and 2), purpose
of visit, all Posts/Project Sites to be visited during dates provided, security clearances level (or Public Trust Investigation data - Note 3), whether PCC
access is required, passport information and any electronic equipment the traveler intends to bring onto Post/Project Site (Note 4).
This form should not be sent directly to Post/Project Site by the contractor. RSO/SSM will not accept information from any entity other than DS/IS/IND,
who is responsible for processing of VARs, maintenance of the database for all contractor clearances, and certification of contractor clearance levels for
all contractors who will either perform at, or visit DoS locations.
Note 1 - Contractor travel notifications do not convey flight arrival/departure information. Itineraries should be provided by the traveler/contracting firm
directly to Post Sponsor or Site POC if requested by Post/Site.
Note 2 - Lodging, meet and greet, and transportation requests cannot be accomplished via CCCRs. Any Post/Project Site assistance should be
coordinated separately with the Post Sponsor, Project Site POC, or by the COR.
Note 3 - SCI indoctrination status cannot be passed via CCCR. If SCI status info is required for travel to Post, contractor should contact DS SSO.
Note 4 - Listing electronic equipment on the CCCR does not constitute approval or permission to bring items onto Post or Site. Approval to bring
electronic items on Post/Project Site should be coordinated separately with Post Sponsor or SSM.
