The Suggestion Office then forwarded the suggestion to the directorate office who then determined that the suggestion was job related. How can one man make such a determination after a suggestion has already been approved by so many others? QI A director has the authority, as the approving official, to disagree with opinions rendered in a suggestion file. This disagreement does not necessarily mean a cash award will not be granted.

This opinion is reviewed with existing directorate opinions by the appropriate suggestion panel. The suggester is notified of the decision. If the suggester is not satisfied with the decision, rationale must be provided within 60 days requesting reconsideration of the award action. The file is then forwarded to HQ AFLC for reexamination.
