ADMINISTRATIVE MEMORANDUM NO. 91
SUBJECT: MODIFICATION OF ARTICLE  E (4)(f) OF THE PARKING REGULATIONS AT HEADQUARTERS (IMPLEMENTED BY ADMINISTRATIVE MEMORANDUM NO. 83) 
ON THE TEMPORARY ASSIGNMENT OF PARKING PERMITS AND PRIVILEGES

CONSIDERING: 

          The conditions under which staff members may assign their parking permits and privileges to other staff members under Article E(4)(f) of the Parking Regulations at Headquarters require clarification and modification. 

I.        The Decision

          The Secretary General has authorized the Assistant Secretary for Management to modify Article E(4)(f) of the Parking Regulations at Headquarters  (implemented by Administrative Memorandum No. 83), as follows: 

(f) A staff member who has been assigned a Parking Permit under the foregoing provisions of these Parking Regulations and who is absent from Headquarters on official travel or on leave (with or without pay) for a period of no less than three weeks, but not to exceed six months ("the Assignor"), may request that the Department of Material Resources temporarily assign that Parking Permit during that absence to another staff member designated by name ("the Assignee").  All such requests shall be submitted directly to the Department of Material Resources, and shall be accompanied by the approved official documentation verifying the Assignor's absence on official travel or leave.  The Department of Material Resources will process and decide upon those requests from Memorial Day to Labor Day, and the Parking Committee will process and decide upon them during the rest of the year.  When such a request is approved:  (i) the Assignor shall remain responsible for the payment of the parking fee, together with any and all fines and penalties assessed against the Assignee or any other holder of the permit for parking violations under Part H of these Parking Regulations; (ii) the Parking Permit shall be displayed in the vehicle of the Assignee; (iii) the Assignee shall be obligated to comply with these Parking Regulations in full; and (iv) the Parking Permit shall be for the exclusive use of the Assignee, who may not sub-assign it to another.   Any request for extending the period of temporary assignment must be submitted to the Department of Material Resources, together with the corresponding official documentation verifying the extended official travel or leave of the Assignor, for decision by that Department or the Parking Committee, as the case may be. 

II.          Derogation 

          This Administrative Memorandum supersedes any contrary provision, regulation, or practice of thee General Secretariat. 

III.      Entry into Force 

          This Administrative Memorandum shall enter into force on the date it is signed.
