§ 43.4 Policy.

It is the policy of the Department of Defense to safeguard and promote the welfare of DoD personnel as consumers by setting forth a uniform approach to

the conduct of all personal commercial solicitation and sales to them by dealers and their agents.

§ 43.5 Responsibilities.

(a) The Assistant Secretary of Defense (Force Management and Personnel)

(ii) Personal commercial solicitation is permitted by the local installation commander.

(iii) A specific appointment has been made with the individual concerned and conducted in family quarters or in other areas designated by the installation commander.

(2) Those seeking to transact personal commercial solicitation on overseas installations shall be required to observe, in addition to the above, the applicable laws of the host country and, upon demand, present documentary evidence to the installation commander, or designee, that the company they represent, and its agents, meet the licensing requirements of the host country.

(b) Life insurance products and securities. (1) Life insurance products and securities offered and sold to DoD personnel must meet the prerequisites described in Appendix A.

(3) The conduct of all insurance business on DoD installations shall be by specific appointment. When establishing the appointment, insurance agents must identify themselves to the prospective purchaser as an agent for a specific company.

(4) Installation commanders shall designate areas where interviews by appointment may be conducted. Invitations to conduct interviews shall be extended to all agents on an equitable basis. Where space and other considerations limit the number of agents using the interviewing area, the installation commander may develop and publish local policy consistent with this concept.

(5) Installation commanders shall make disinterested third-party counseling available to DoD personnel desiring counseling.

(6) In addition to the solicitation prohibitions contained in paragraph (d) of this section, DoD Components shall prohibit:

(v) The use of the "Daily Bulletin” or any other notice, official or unofficial, announcing the presence of an agent and his or her availability.

(c) Supervision of on-base commercial activities. (1) All pertinent installation regulations shall be posted in a place easily accessible to those conducting personal commercial solicitation activities on the installation.

(2) When practicable, as determined by the installation commander, a copy of the applicable installation regulations shall be given to those conducting on-base commercial activities with the warning that any infractions of the regulations will result in the withdrawal of solicitation privileges.

(d) Prohibited practices. The following commercial solicitation practices shall be prohibited on all DoD installations:

(1) Solicitation of recruits, trainees, and transient personnel in a “mass” or "captive" audience.

(2) Making appointments with or soliciting military personnel who are in an "on-duty" status.

ing.

This is not intended to preclude normal home enterprises, providing applicable State and local laws are complied with.

(13) Soliciting door to door.

(14) Advertising addresses or telephone numbers of commercial sales activities conducted on the installation, except for authorized activities conducted by members of military families residing in family housing.

(e) Denial and revocation of on-base solicitation.

(i) Upon withdrawing solicitation privileges, the commander shall promptly inform the agent and the company the agent represents orally or in writing.

(ii) If the grounds for the action involve the eligibility of the agent or company to hold a State license or to meet other regulatory requirements, the appropriate authorities will be notified.

To "show cause" means an opportunity must be given for the grieved party to present facts on his or her behalf on an informal basis for the consideration of the installation commander.

(iv) If warranted, the commander shall recommend to the Military Department concerned that the action taken be extended to other DoD installations. If so approved, and when appropriate, the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Force Management and Personnel) (ASD(FM&P)), following consultation with the Military Department concerned, shall order the action extended to other Military Departments.

(v) All denials or withdrawals of privileges will be for a set period of

(vi) When such denials or withdrawals are lifted, the Office of the ASD(FM&P) shall be notified for parallel action if the same denial or withdrawal has been extended to other Military Departments.
