>
> i. If approval is based on the written justification, the supervisor/manager
> shall enter "Approved" in the "Comments" and change the activity status to
> "Completed."
>
>
>
> ii. If approval is based on the written justification but additional
> conditions/requirements need to be addressed before VR Staff or VR
> Contractor can take action on the approval; the supervisor/manager shall
