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. We cover these manuals and publications in the following paragraphs. The Naval Supply Systems Command Manual is comprised  of  the  following  volumes: Volume 2, Supply Ashore, contains basic supply principles   and   procedures   for   NAVSUPSYSCOM managed  shore  activities. Volume 5, Transportation  of  Property,  contains policy  and  procedural  instructions  for  all  ashore activities shipping and receiving Navy property via commercial  and  military  transportation  media. The  Naval  Logistics  Library  (NLL),  NAVSUP P-600,  issued  on  CD-ROM,  is  specifically  designed  by FMSO to make logistics information more accessible to abroad range of personal computer users. The two types of data found in the NLL are full text data (documents such as publications, manuals, and instructions) and structured  data  (fixed  format  records).  The  NLL  is published  biannually  in  September  and  March.  all changes and rewrites will be included in each release to ensure availability of the most current information. The data included in the NLL are NAVSUP publications, NAVSUP P-4400, Afloat Shopping Guide, NAVSUP P-2002, Navy  Forms  and  Publications,  and  NAVSUP instructions. 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. Although the NAVCOMPT manual has 10 volumes, only volumes 2 and 3 are of primary concern to you. The Accounting Classification,   volume  2,  is  a  reference  book  that contains the classification necessary to report the receipt and expenditure of public finds in each of the three phases of the Navy accounting system. It also includes appropriation, cost, and property accounting. The  Unit Identification  Codes,  volume 2, chapter 5, lists the UICs for all the activities, ships, aviation units, and other organizational   components   of   the   Navy.   The Appropriation,   Cost,   and   Accounting,   volume  3, prescribes accounting procedures in connection with appropriation,  cost,  and  property  accounting  for  field activities. This volume establishes methods used by supply and fiscal officers ashore to report the receipt and expenditure  of  public  funds  and  property. The  publications  that  contain  information  for operating  target  (OPTAR)  maintenance  are  in  two volumes. The first volume is the NAVSO P-3013-1, Financial   Management   of   Resources   Fund Administration.  The  second  volume  is  NAVSO P-3013-2,   Financial   Management   of   Resources Operating Procedures.  These  publications  also  contain definitions of terms used in the resources management system  pertaining  to  ships,  activities,  and  squadrons. 2-3
