research unit must determine the technical manuals and publications required to support the organization and maintain receipt and distribution control. Once control is established, the majority of the manuals, publications, and changes are placed on automatic distribution to the activity. The requisitioning procedures are described in Section I of the Navy Stock List of Publications and Forms, Cognizance Symbol 1. Normally, new publications are issued directly to affected activities without request. Some publications are distributed automatically, because they are required in the performance of various supply corps functions. Copies of the publications are consolidated and mailed to the address listed in the Standard Navy Distribution List (SNDL). GENERAL-USE SUPPLY PUBLICATIONS The supply officer is responsible for ensuring that a list of all official publications held in the supply department is maintained. The list includes the title of each publication, the number of copies, and the location of each copy. The publications will be reviewed at least annually. When changes in current requirements occur, the issuing bureau, command, or office will be notified so that adjustments can be made in the applicable distribution list. A change to a manual or publication consists of a set of replacement change pages for the area of the manual affected by the change action. This action is required for paper manuals or publications only. When a change is required to a CD-ROM format, the CD is usually reissued in its entirety. Unlike a change, a revision constitutes a complete reissue or a replacement of a manual with all change information incorporated. Issuance of a revision normally takes place when 60 percent or more of the document is affected by a single change or accumulated changes, or in the event manual use would be impaired because of change complexity. You will be using many general-use manuals, publications, and directives. You will need them to determine standard supply operating procedures and to obtain management data relative to material identification, requisitioning, and processing of repairable components.
