What criteria does DDTC use in assessing the need for an agreement rebaseline?
The agreements officer will be looking at the age of the case. Agreements older than 10 years are prime candidates as the physical file may no longer be available to the reviewing officer. As well, there have been numerous policy updates over the last 10 years and many agreements have not been updated to meet these requirements. The number of substantive amendments approved for an agreement is also considered regardless of age. If more than 10 amendments, to include proviso reconsiderations, have been approved, an agreements officer’s ability to audit and maintain an agreement becomes increasingly difficult.
