b. Parking Committee. The Parking Committee approves or disapproves requests
for parking spaces and considers employee appeals. The committee consists of
two permanent members: one from the Office of Management, Budget and
Evaluation/CFO (head of parking) and the other, the Forrestal Chapter
213/National Treasury Employees Union President or designee. If these two
members cannot resolve an issue, a third individual, acceptable to both
management and the union, will be designated to review and decide the issue.
c. Allocation and Assignment.
(1)
(2)
(3)
Parking spaces at Forrestal must be assigned for official needs according
to the following priority:
(a) Government-owned vehicles specifically designed and used for
criminal investigation, firefighting, and other emergency functions;
Section 2
(b) other Government-owned and -leased vehicles, including motor
pool vehicles and vehicles assigned for general use; and
(c) service vehicles and Government vehicles being used by
employees and visitors.
Parking spaces not required for Government vehicles or official needs
must be assigned to DOE Federal employees in the following
priority:
(a) employees with disabilities;
(b) executive officials;
(c) vanpools;
(d) carpools;
(e) employees with unusual working hours;
(f) shift workers; and
(g) two-wheeled vehicles (subject to the availability of satisfactory and
secure space and facilities, DOE will provide parking for bicycles,
motorcycles, and other two-wheeled vehicles, if practical).
If space is insufficient, priority for assignment of vanpool and carpool
parking permits will be based on the number of regular DOE members
(Federal and contractor) in vanpools and carpools (i.e., six members
receive highest priority, followed by five members, four members, three
members, and two members, respectively).
CANCELE
D
HQ O 344.1A 3

(4)
d.
When parking space is insufficient to meet the needs of vanpool/carpool
applicants, parking spaces will be reassigned according to the following
priority: vanpools/carpools with the most DOE regular members (Federal
and contractor); and vanpools/carpools with most regular members
(including personnel from other agencies).
Parking Permit Applicants.
(1) General. Applicants for parking permits must submit two forms, the
“Parking Permit Application,” DOE F 1400.12, and the “Parking
Authorization,” HQ F 1400.22, to the Parking Management Office
by the 15th day of the month for review and approval or disapproval.
When the 15th falls on a weekend or holiday, the application must be
submitted the preceding workday. Applications received by the
15th will be considered for issuance of parking permits for the following
month.
(2) Disabled Employees. Parking permit applications from disabled
Government employees must be accompanied by a certification from the
DOE Headquarters medical unit, justifying priority consideration. Prior to
granting such a certification, the medical unit must receive a statement
from the employee's physician that attests to the disability. Such
certification will be based on a medical determination by the agency
medical officer, who will provide advice and counsel on medical
matters.
(3) Unusual Hours. An application for priority parking privileges because of
unusual work hours must be accompanied by a memorandum from the
employee and the administrative officer confirming and justifying the
employee's unusual work hours, listing the unusual hours that are to be
worked (e.g., 8:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.), and stating that these hours will
be worked 50 to 75 percent of the time. Administrative officers should
reevaluate the justification for existing unusual hour permits within their
organizations before submitting requests for any additional unusual hour
permits. Approval or disapproval of these requests will be based on
available space allocated to this category. If additional parking spaces are
unavailable, the Parking Committee must determine who will be assigned
the unusual hour permits within that organization. Alternative work
schedule (AWS) hours are not considered unusual hours.
(4) Employee Responsibilities.
(a) The employee to whom the parking permit is issued (i.e., the
principal member in a carpool or vanpool) must ensure that all
information on the parking permit application is accurate and
current.
Section 3
CANCELE

visible areas of the building and garage, and at the garage
entrances to the building.
(b) Employees eligible for parking permits must have proper
Government identification and present a properly validated HQ
F 1400.22, “Parking Authorization.”
(c) Parking permit holders who are on official travel or leave, or who

(d) Parking permits, where applicable, will be issued to the authorized
vanpool/carpool principal and single vehicle drivers and are valid
until revoked, terminated, voluntarily surrendered by the holder, or
forfeited for failure to pay established fees or failure to pick up a
permit for 2 consecutive months.
(e) When a valid parking permit is suspected to be lost or stolen, the
holder must report the circumstances to the Parking Management
Office. Failure to comply with this requirement may result in
suspension or termination of parking privileges.
(2) Parking Permit Verification.
(a) Prior to the issuance of an initial vanpool/carpool permit, the
principal member must provide an application form with the
signature of each vanpool/carpool member verifying membership.
(b) Once each year during the anniversary month of the issuance of the
parking permit or upon the request by the Parking Committee, the
principal member of each vanpool/carpool must recertify
vanpool/carpool membership for each member within 10 days of

Committee may suspend for 1 month the permits of individuals
who fail to follow directions provided by the parking attendants.

stacked lane must be exited during normal working hours, the
operator of the blocked vehicle must call the person identified on
the parking permit of the blocking vehicle and ask him/her to move
the vehicle. Operators of vehicles that must exit the garage for any
reason should make a concentrated effort to notify the operator of
the vehicle that has them blocked at least 15 minutes before their
intended departure time. Once notified, the person must move the
vehicle immediately (i.e., within 15 minutes). Employees who
must leave their vehicle keys with personnel in their offices are
responsible for having the vehicle moved immediately when
requested.
(h) Employees who intend to leave during the workday should park in
lanes designated for such access and egress if available. If such
parking is not available, a parking attendant should be asked to
provide assistance.

authorized by the Parking Management Office for Government
vehicles, visitors, executive officials, and disabled
individuals.

Failure to comply with the specified operating procedures outlined in this
Order, or other oral or written parking instructions provided by the
Parking Management Office, will result in a Notice of Violation. The first
parking violation is a warning. The second violation will result in a
1-month suspension of parking privileges. The third violation will result
in a 6- month revocation, and the fourth violation will result in permanent
termination of parking privileges. Each violation will be removed from
the file after 12 months.
Any falsification or misrepresentation of the information furnished on a
parking permit application will result in a 1-year revocation of parking
privileges for the first violation and permanent termination upon a second
violation. In addition, employees may be subject to disciplinary action for
such falsification or evasion. Suspended employees cannot join other
vanpools/carpools while they are suspended.
Acts taken to circumvent the provisions of this Order or other established
DOE and/or GSA parking directives and procedures will result in a 1-year

parking privileges.
An employee whose parking permit is terminated in order to accommodate
an application that provides for a carpool with a larger number of riders
will receive 15 calendar days notice of such termination. During that

of the existing parking permit.
Failure to maintain the required number of members for a vanpool/carpool
