XPMS USER TRAINING NOTES - WAIVER PROCESSING

1. Introduction

When the plan violates some restrictions and that that violation cannot be avoided by changing
the work dates and work location, applicants should apply for waivers corresponding to the
restrictions being violated through XPMS.

Note: some violations can be avoided by changing the work dates and work location.

Four types of Waivers can be applied by the UU Working in Excavation Permit Management
System (XPMS), they are:
- Shallow Cover Utility Area (SCA)
- Road Opening Restriction Zone (ORZ)
- Registration Lead Time (RLT), and
- Repeated Road Opening (ROP)

Waiver Processing is applicable to NXP, CWXP, and SSW Jobs. The following shows the
permit with applicable waiver types:

Permit Type Applicable Waiver Types

NXP SCA, ROP, ORZ, RLT
CWXP ROP, ORZ, SCA
SSW Jobs ORZ, SCA

The workflow involved in each of the four types of waivers, beginning from the waiver
application at UU Working, up to the final approval of the waiver, will be further discussed in
the following sections.
