PHYSICAL INVENTORY OF CONTROLLED EQUIPAGE

All controlled equipage items must be inventoried annually during the period 15 February through 15 March. Other inventories, which must be completed within 30 days after the commencement date, are listed as follows:

1. On commissioning, inactivation, or reactivation of the ship

2. On relief of a head of department, for those items in the custody of the department concerned

3. On change of command, at the discretion of the relieving commanding officer

When a shipwide inventory of all controlled equipage has been taken during the 6-month period preceding 15 February, the annual inventory requirement for the current year is considered satisfied.

PUBLICATIONS

Normally, the technical library for the supply department is established within the supply support center (SSC). As the AK assigned management responsibility for the technical research unit, you must determine the technical manuals and publications required to support the organization and maintain receipt and distribution control. You must also be responsible for making sure changes and revisions are incorporated to keep the publications current and up to date. Once established, the majority of the manuals and publications are placed on automatic distribution to your activity.

There are many general use manuals, publications, and directives that are used by aviation supply personnel to determine standard supply operating procedures and to obtain management data relative to material identification, material requisitioning, and processing of repairable components. The manuals and publications that should be maintained in a technical library are covered in the following paragraphs.

NAVY COMPTROLLER MANUAL

The Navy Comptroller (NAVCOMPT) Manual provides policy, regulation, and procedures within the area of primary support responsibility and technical guidance of the Comptroller of the Navy. There are 10 volumes of the NAVCOMPT Manual. Volumes 2 and 3 are of primary concern for the technical library.

Accounting Classification, volume 2. This volume is a reference book that contains the classification necessary to report the receipt and expenditures of public funds in each of the three phases of the Navy accounting system. It also includes appropriation, cost, and property accounting.

Unit Identification Codes, volume 2, chapter 5. This chapter includes unit identification codes (UICs) for all activities, ships, aviation units, and other organizational components of the Navy. This chapter is issued as a separate volume.

Appropriation, Cost, and Property Accounting, volume 3. This volume prescribes accounting procedures in connection with appropriation, cost, and property accounting for field activities. As a manual of the Navy accounting system, this volume establishes methods used by supply and fiscal officers ashore to report the receipt and expenditure of public funds and property.

DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY STAFF OFFICES (NAVSO) MANUALS

The Financial Management of Resources Fund Administration (Operating Forces) NAVSO P-3013-1, the Financial Management of Resources Operating Procedures (Operating Forces), NAVSO P-3013-2, and the FinancialManagement of Resources Operations and Maintenance (Shore Activities), NAVSO P-3004, contain information related to the procedures for maintaining operating targets (OPTARs) and define the terms used in the resources management system pertaining to activities, ships, and squadrons.

NAVAL SUPPLY SYSTEMS COMMAND PUBLICATIONS

The various Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) publications required in the technical library are covered in the following paragraphs,

Introduction to Federal Supply Catalog and Related Publications

The Introduction to Federal Supply Catalog and Related Publications, NAVSUP P-4000, is a consolidated text that contains guidelines for the use of various federal catalog system and NAV-SUP publications. It contains instructions that issue information relative to items within the Navy supply system and also indicates the interrelationship of the various publications. All related publications are described in detail in individual chapters of this publication. It contains descriptions of the format and contents of the Management List-Navy (ML-N), the Consolidated Master Cross-Reference List (C-MCRL), the Master Repairable Item List (MRIL), the Hazardous Material Information System (HMIS), the List of Items Requiring Special Handling (LIRSH), the Afloat Shopping Guide (ASG), the Identification Lists (ILs), and the Navy Item Control Number/National Item Identification Number (NICN/NIIN) cross-reference.

Management List-Navy

The Management List-Navy (ML-N) contains selected management data for all Navy-managed and Navy interest retail items and provides a historical record of stock number deletions and supersedure. Items excluded from this publication are subsistence items; cryptographic/ cryptologic, defense nuclear, and special weapons items that are listed in security classified catalogs; and publications and forms. This publication contains basic management data for each national stock number (NSN) such as inventory manager identification, item nomenclature, security classification, shelf-life code, material control code, and deleted or superseded information. The ML-N is published by the Defense Logistics Service Center (DLSC) on microfiche, listed in NIIN sequence, and complete revisions are redistributed to applicable activities quarterly. The distribution is controlled by the Navy Fleet Material Support Office (FMSO).

Consolidated Master Cross-Reference List

To assist in identifying NSN items of supply in the Federal Supply Catalog System, the Consolidated Master Cross-Reference List (C-MCRL) provides cross-reference information in three parts. Part I provides cross-reference from reference numbers and applicable commercial and government entity (CAGE) codes to NSNs. Part II provides cross-reference from NSNs to reference numbers and applicable CAGES. Part III, listed in CAGE sequence, provides a crossreference from CAGES and reference numbers to NSNs. The C-MCRL is a consolidated publication that includes items of supply that are used by all services. Many NSNs identified in the C-MCRL are not listed in the ML-N. The C-MCRL provides management data such as reference number (part number), CAGE code, applicable NSN data, description (if available), and nomenclature. This publication is published on microfiche by the DLSC. The distribution is controlled by the FMSO and is issued semiannually.

Master Repairable Item List

The Master Repairable Item List (MRIL), NAVSUP P-4107, is a catalog of selected Navymanaged items that, when unserviceable and not locally repairable, are required to be turned into a collection point or to a designated overhaul point (DOP) for repair and return to system stock. The primary purpose of the MRIL is to provide to fleet activities the data required for disposition of not ready for issue (NRFI) repairable, including repair level data, shipping data, or when applicable, local disposal direction, and other selected management data. The MRIL must be used in conjunction with the Supply Afloat Packaging Procedures, NAVSUP P-484, and Afloat Supply Procedures, NAVSUP P-485, for all afloat activities and MILSTRIP/MILSTRAP, NAVSUP P-437, and the Material Turned In To Store (MTIS) Manual, NAVSUPINST 4440.157, for ashore activities. The MRIL is published on microfiche by the FMSO and distributed monthly to all ships and shore activities that use or process repairable. Each edition supersedes the previous edition and the old microfiche should be discarded except for the introduction which is published and distributed quarterly. The MRIL is divided into two parts. Part I contains NSNs and NICNs of repairable items and aircraft engine type/model/series identifiers. It also contains information required to make repair or turn-in determinations on repairable and aircraft engines. NSNs and NICNs listed in this part are in NIIN sequence. Part II contains addresses of DOPs including contractors and other indicated destinations for all items listed in part I. Addresses are listed in shipping code sequence. Items that are either in long supply or are authorized to remain in place are indicated, and the NIIN of specially designated reusable shipping containers for returning the repairable component is identified.
