    c.  Decision Briefs
    d.  Command Briefs
4.  EFPB Tasks
    a.  The following tasks were closed:
        (1) (EFPB 37-02) - MCICOM coordinate with CMC(SD), PP&O(PS), and HQMC G-10 to develop and implement procedures to ensure motorcycle riders are in compliance with training requirements upon entry to USMC installations.  Deliver decision brief to ACMC.  Resulting action: MCICOM briefed a series of actions to be implemented over time addressing the issue(s).
        (2) (EFPB 37-06) – CMC (SD) coordinate with DC CD&I (TFSD), DC P&R, DC M&RA, MARFORPAC, MARFORCOM, MARFORRES, MARSOC, and MCICOM to reconcile civilian safety and occupational health GS-series structure, provide Tactical Safety Specialists (TSS) to the OPFOR O-6 level, align MCPC 630604 CIVPERS funds with structure, and implement controls to prevent reversion of billets or diversion of CIVPERS funds to other non-safety requirements.  Coordinate with Operating Forces for submission of appropriate TOECRs to effect this reorganization.  Resulting Action: A standardized service level TSS Position Description was written by CMC SD and has been classified by M&RA as a GS0018-11 and CMC SD has provided said PD to the Operating Forces. Civilian structure placement and Manage-to-Payroll decisions are individual command decision to prioritize.  As the designated Safety and Occupational Health Community of Interest Leader, CMC SD in coordination with DC M&RA (MPC DC CD&I (TFSD) will continue to identify unencumbered civilian structure and assist commands develop Table of Organization Change Request (TOECR) submission(s).
        (3) (EFPB 37-07) - HQMC G-10, develop interim policy for the handoff of Force Preservation Council information between commands to be used until CIRRAS reaches IOC.  Coordinate with MARFORCOM and MARFORPAC to accomplish IAW EFPB Task 36-03.  Resulting Action: Provide draft and recommendation to the ACMC.  Based on the accelerated timeline (IOC August 2019) for CIRRAS, this task was deemed obsolete and closed.
        (4) (EFPB 38-01) – HQMC G-10, discuss Command Climate Workshops at the annual G-10 summit to determine level of interest and feasibility of wider implementation.  Resulting Action: Coordinate potential implementation with CMC (SD).  Fleet response was positive and CMC SD will convene an OPT to look at best way forward to implement standardized workshops across the enterprise.
        (5) (EFPB 38-02) – CMC (SD) deliver an Information Paper to the ACMC discussing survey completion rates and quality of response to the GCAS/MCAS/CCS surveys.  Resulting Action: Information paper provided and briefed.
        (6) (EFPB 38-03) – CMC(SD) prepare, staff, and deliver a Decision Paper to the ACMC on the merits of changing authority for Safety Investigation Report extensions requiring Engineering Investigations from the Aircraft Controlling Custodian to CMC(SD).  Resulting Action: No change to current system, no further action required.
        (7) (EFPB 38-04) – MCSC deliver an estimate of supportability to the ACMC detailing the viability of accelerating development of all phases of CIRRAS if additional funding becomes available.  Coordinate with DC MRA (MF).  Target suspense date is 31 July 18.  Resulting Action: Update of supportability provided, no change to current phases of development and implementation.
        (8) (EFPB 38-05) – Operationalize Motorcycle Safety.
Resulting Acton: MARADMIN 482/18 published and provides the requisite responsibilities towards operationalizing motorcycle safety and will be incorporated into the revision of the Drive Safe Order (MCO 5100.19G draft) in FY19.
