1 . The Coast Guard continues to recognize the unprecedented challenges imposed on its Auxiliarists since the outset of the COVID-19 global pandemic , and greatly appreciates the understanding and responsibility demonstrated by all Auxiliarists in preserving their health and well-being as well as that of our Nation ’ s maritime public .
2 . Significant constraints were again levied upon Auxiliarists ’ ability to perform authorized activities in Calendar Year ( CY ) 2021 by the COVID-19 virus . These constraints significantly and detrimentally impacted the ability of many Auxiliarists to apply their competencies , perform their authorized activities , and maintain their currencies . Consequently , the following changes to CY 2021 currency maintenance requirements apply for CY 2022 :

Currency maintenance requirements that were applicable for CY 2021 are cancelled ( e . g ., a Vessel Examiner will only have to perform five vessel safety checks in CY 2022 in order to maintain currency ).
( 3 ) CY 2021 completion of the Team Coordination Training ( TCT ) Refresher and the Crew Resource Management ( CRM ) Refresher is not waived because these refreshers were available through webinars .
( 4 ) If an Auxiliarist started CY 2020 in REYR status in a competency and was unable to fulfill the requirements to regain certification during CY 2020 and CY 2021 , then the Auxiliarist will remain in REYR status in that competency and will have until 31 December 2022 to complete those same requirements in order to regain certification .
