If you wanted more than the minimum it was always necessary to provide a 
story that passed a smell test.  Also, if you wanted another batch of 
numbers you always had to explain what did with the old ones you were 
given, usually providing some data, much of the "bureaucracy" 2013-3 
wants to eliminate.

Verified: 1. Make sure or demonstrate that (something) is true, 
accurate, or justified. 2. Swear to or support (a statement) by affidavit.

Justified: 1. Having, done for, or marked by a good or legitimate 
reason. 2. Declared or made righteous in the sight of God.

So, please tell me how "verified operational need" is that different. 
If you would prefer justified or validated operational need.  OK, what ever.
