   The letter requesting the special exception should:
   
   
      - 
         
            •
            
               provide all of the information needed to issue a certificate (see RS 02001.845C.) and 
               
             
          
       
      - 
         
            •
            
               explain why a special exception is desired.
               
             
          
       
   
   
   Each agency will coordinate with the other agency as necessary if it believes the
      exception should be granted. When an exception is granted, the agency of the country
      which will cover the worker issues a certificate of coverage to serve as proof of
      exemption from coverage and taxation in the other country.
