REGION 5 FIELD BULLETIN NO. 63 -4
TO All State and Local Civil Defense Directors
SUBJECT: Implementing Procedures for the Cancellation of Fallout
Shelter License or Privilege Form
The Fallout Shelter License or Privilege Form provides that a property
owner may cancel his agreement by 90 -days written notice to the local
political subdivision and the Federal government. The OCD Regional
office is the Federal government office to which the cancellation notice
should he sent. As indicated in the following procedures, the Local
Civil Defense Director sends the notice to State Civil Defense Office
which in turn notifies the OCD Regional Office.
The Local Civil Defense Director, upon receipt of the property owner's
cancellation notice should contact the owner to ascertain the reason
for cancellation, and make any necessary arrangement for removing the
shelter signs and the shelter supplies, if the building has been marked
and stocked. If the cancellation is confirmed, the local director should
deduct the shelter space from his inventory and transmit this information
in duplicate to the State Civil Defense Director. The State Director
should retain one copy for his records and forward one copy to the OCD
Regional Office, Attention: Director, Field Operations Office.
If the cancelled shelter has not been stocked, the Local Civil Defense
Director will note the cancellation on the pre - printed requisition form
or the Shipping Document, (if one has been received) and return the form
to the Defense General Supply Center at Richmond, Virginia.
If the cancelled shelter has been stocked, the Local Civil Defense Director
should relocate the shelter supplies to another shelter which meets OCD
minimum requirements or to a place of temporary storage. Detailed pro-
cedures regarding the moving of the shelter supplies will be issued by a
separate bulletin.
It is suggested that the Local Civil Defense Director send the owner of
the cancelled shelter a letter of appreciation for participating in the
fallout shelter program.
