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
