The commission strives to be fair and consistent in the assessment of each case, judging it on its own merits against certain criteria. The commission does not discriminate on the basis of race, sex, creed, or national origin. There must be conclusive evidence to support the threat to the victim's life, the rescuer's degree of responsibility, and the act's occurrence. The act must be performed in one of the 50 american states, the district of columbia, or 12 canadian provinces and territories or the waters thereof (12 nautical miles). The act must be brought to the attention of the commission within two years of the date of its occurrence. Members of the military are ineligible. "military" includes coast guard and members of the national guard and reserves who have been activated for training or otherwise, are on annual training or otherwise are in uniform under military control.
