The Equipment Applicability List, NAVAIR 00-500C, lists publications that pertain to particular aircraft systems, aircraft components, or specific A technical directive (TD) directs modification or onetime inspection of a weapons system or equipment. The TD also requires supporting documentation that the modification or onetime inspection was accomplished. An amendment can modify or cancel an existing TD. After amendments A, B, and C to a TD have been issued, a revision must be issued. The Weekly Summary of Issued Technical Directives lists TDs that have been issued. The quality assurance (QA) division at an aviation maintenance activity manages the technical publication library (TPL) program. When more than one TPL is needed at an activity, one library becomes the central technical publication library (CTPL), and the other libraries become dispersed TPLs that are supported by the CTPL. The Naval Air Systems Command Technical Manual Program, NAVAIR 00-25-100, and the Naval Air Technical Data and Engineering Service Command (NATEC) Technical Publication Library (TPL) program govern the management of TPLs for aviation maintenance activities. A request for initial outfitting for a TPL is sent to NATEC. NATEC carries out automatic distribution of technical publications to a maintenance activity. Automatic distribution is facilitated by the use of the automatic distribution requirements listing (ADRL) for the activity that lists publications for which automatic distribution to the activity is required. When a change in the automatic distribution of a technical publication for an activity is needed, the CTPL of the activity sends an updated ADRL to NATEC. A page change is the only approved method for making an individual change to a technical publication. The CTPL uses the Change Entry Certification Record (CECR) to ensure that a change or revision to technical publication, issued to a dispersed library, has been entered into a publication. The CTPL removes part 1 of the CECR from the CECR tickler file after the dispersed library enters the change into a technical manual. The minimum information on a technical publication library stamp includes the name of the activity, the copy number, and the location of the publication. The transaction file of a CTPL reflects the current working status of the CTPL. When over 60 percent of a technical publication is affected by changes, a revision of the publication is issued. Page A (list of effective pages) of a technical manual lists all pages that are affected by past and present changes. An interim rapid action change (IRAC) disseminates urgent essential data to change technical information in a technical manual. IRACs should be incorporated in a manual within 2 working days. An IRAC, later to be replaced by a formal rapid action change (RAC), is placed behind the title page of the affected publication after the change’s application has been annotated on the master copy. The IRAC Tracker should be used to verify that all IRACs have been received. The Department of the Navy (DON) Information Security Program (ISP), SECNAVINST 5510.36, is the basic Navy directive that applies to classified information, including classified publications in a TPL. The QA division audits the CTPL annually. The CTPL librarian conducts quarterly audits of dispersed libraries in the work centers. The Aviation Maintenance Discrepancy Reporting Program (NAMDRP) is used to report substandard workmanship, an improper quality assurance procedure, or a material or technical publication deficiency. The quality deficiency report (QDR) under NAMDRP furnishes information on a deficiency in new or rework material. The technical publication deficiency report (TPDR) under NAMDRP documents a technical publication discrepancy, such as incorrect artwork or an incorrect and missing part number. A category 1 (CAT 1) TPDR reports by message a discrepancy that, if uncorrected, could result in death of injury to personnel. A CAT 2 TPDR reports a routine deficiency in a publication. A CAT 1 TPDR or a CAT 2 TPDR is not authority to alter a technical pub1ication in any way. A deficiency in a tactical publication is reported by submitting the NATOPS/Tactical Change Recom- mendation Form, OPNAV Form 3710/6. 3-30
