Visitation Plan

FOCI Mitigation Agreements (SCA, SSA, Proxy, and VT) establish requirements for visitation between the FOCI Company and their Affiliates. Any deviations from the requirements in the FOCI mitigation agreements must be approved prior to implementation by DSS.

Many SSAs and Proxy Agreements require seven (7) days of advance notice for Outside Director or Proxy Holder visit approvals unless precluded by unforeseen exigencies. DSS requires advance approval of visits; however, defers to the Government Security Committee (GSC) to determine the appropriate advance notice required. Once the GSC has determined the suitable advance notice period for visit requests it must be formalized in writing to DSS. Furthermore DSS defers to the GSC on what constitutes an unforeseen exigency, so long as visits are reviewed and approved after the event.
