Revised / New Forms
As available on the National Forms Site, all Facility Inspection forms, Vessel (7003), Radio (7004), Aircraft (7005) and PWC (7008) have been revised to include facility availability questions. All previous editions are obsolete and may not be used. Also added to this group is a new Vehicle Offer for Use form, ANSC-7065. The purpose of this form is to correct the problem of liability insurance in the case where a privately owned vehicle (POV) was not covered for liability insurance when towing government property.  The vehicle may now be "Offered for Use". This is particularly important if the vehicle is towing a trailer registered as a DHS trailer with DHS license plates. The vehicle owner must annually complete the new ANSC 7065 form, "Vehicle Offer of Use", (available on the Forms page) and have it on file at the DIRAUX's office prior to the towing. A record of this POV "facility" will eventually be recorded in AUXDATA. Members should contact their DIRAUX for more info as that is where the records will be stored until they can be inputted into AUXDATA not earlier than this summer.
