UFC 4-150-09 27 February 2019 FOREWORD The Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) system is prescribed by MIL-STD 3007 and provides planning, design, construction, sustainment, restoration, and modernization criteria, and applies to the Military Departments, the Defense Agencies, and the DoD Field Activities in accordance with USD (AT&L) Memorandum dated 29 May 2002. UFC will be used for all DoD projects and work for other customers where appropriate. All construction outside of the United States is also governed by Status of Forces Agreements (SOFA), Host Nation Funded Construction Agreements (HNFA), and in some instances, Bilateral Infrastructure Agreements (BIA). Therefore, the acquisition team must ensure compliance with the most stringent of the UFC, the SOFA, the HNFA, and the BIA, as applicable. UFC are living documents and will be periodically reviewed, updated, and made available to users as part of the Services’ responsibility for providing technical criteria for military construction. Headquarters, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (HQUSACE), Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC), and Air Force Civil Engineer Center (AFCEC) are responsible for administration of the UFC system. Defense agencies should contact the preparing service for document interpretation and improvements. Technical content of UFC is the responsibility of the cognizant DoD working group. Recommended changes with supporting rationale should be sent to the respective DoD working group by submitting a Criteria Change Request (CCR) via the Internet site listed below. UFC are effective upon issuance and are distributed only in electronic media from the following source: • Whole Building Design Guide web site http://www.wbdg.org/ffc/dod. Refer to UFC 1-200-01, DoD Building Code (General Building Requirements), for implementation of new issuances on projects. AUTHORIZED BY: LARRY D. McCALLISTER, PhD, PE, JOSEPH E. GOTT, P.E.

This UFC contains extensive modifications in the following areas: • Inclusion of lessons learned from past operations • The use of commercial, industrial and offshore industry standards where appropriate • Updating, conversion and combining of several NAVFAC manuals and local command guidelines to a more uniform format and a document to be used by all services with general updates and revisions Reasons for Document: The existing guidance was inadequate for the following reasons: • Need to convert to UFC format • Incorporation of changes described above • Update to referenced documents Impact: The following direct benefits will result from the update of UFC 4-150-09, Permanent Anchored Moorings, Operations and Maintenance • Although primarily a U.S. Navy document, a single, comprehensive, up to date criteria document exists to cover mooring operations and maintenance. • Eliminates misinterpretation and ambiguities that could lead to conflicts. • Facilitates updates and revisions and promotes agreement and uniformity of design and construction between the Services. Unification Issues: • There are no unification issues.
