MEMORANDUM FOR: DISTRIBUTION

SUBJECT: Approved Defense Logistics Standard Systems/Defense
Logistics Management System (DLSS/DLMS) Change 6,
Identification of Flight Safety Critical Aircraft Parts
(FSCAP) on Shipments to Disposal

The attachment is forwarded as an approved DLSS/DLMS change
to the DoD 4000.25-1-M, Military Standard Requisitioning and Issue
Procedures (MILSTRIP) and to DoD 4000.25-M, DLMS, Volume 2, Supply,
Chapter 5, Requisitioning.

The effective date for this change consists of staggered
implementation dates as provided by the Services and Agencies.
The authorization to implement incrementally was agreed to by the
Services and Agencies during the March 23-27, 1998 Supply Process
Review Committee (PRC) Meeting. Assigned implementation dates are
as follows:

Defense Logistics Agency April 1998
Air Force December 1999
Navy July 2000
Army December 2002
All Others No Impact

Addressees may direct questions to the DLMSO points of contact,
Ms. Vermella Sav4ge, the DoD MILSTRIP System Administrator, on
DSN 235-5272 or 703-272-5272 or e-mail: yermella savage@ha. dla.mil or
Ms. Ellen Hilert, the Supply PRC Co-Chair, on DSN 235-5271 or

APPROVED DEFENSE LOGISTICS STANDARD SYSTEMS/DEFENSE
LOGISTICS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM CHANGE 6 (SUPPLY/MILSTRIP)

i. ORIGINATOR:

a. Service/Agency: Office of Deputy Secretary of Defense for
Logistics (Materiel and Distribution Management).

b, Originator: ODUSD (Logistics) (Materiel and
Distribution Management); 7/05-697-5981; DSN 227-5981; FAX
703-693-5773;

2. FUNCTIONAL AREA: Supply (MILSTRIP).
3. REQUESTED CHANGE:

a. Title: Identification of Flight Safety Critical Aircraft
Parts (FSCAP) on Shipments to Disposal.

b. Description of Change: FSCAP shipments must be identified
at time of disposal in both clear text and code form.

c. Procedures: Revise MILSTRIP Appendix C12, record position
73 and Appendix C46A, Block 27, as follows:

Appendix C12

Sereening/Elight 2B “Ei”.

Safety Critical Elight Safety Critical Aircraft

Aixecxatt Parts Part-Nuclear Hardened or Code
Critical Aircraft Part.

Appendix C46A

27 This block may contain additional data including bar

coding for internal use. Enter data in this block as
required by the shipping activity or the DRMO
receiving the material. When data is entered in this
block, it will be clearly identified. For hazardous
material and waste turn-ins, enter the DoDAAC of the
bill-to office, the contract line item number (CLIN)
for the item, and the total cost of the disposal.
“This block will contain both coding and clear-text
information to identify Flight Safety Critical
Aircraft Parts (FSCAP) shipments to DRMOs using
Criticality Code E or F as follows: “FSCAP E ~-
Flight Safety Critical Aircraft Part-Nuclear
Hardened” or “FSCAP F ~ Flight Safety Critical
Aircraft Part.”


4. REASON FOR CHANGE: The Flight Safety Critical Aircraft Parts
(FSCAP) Process Action Team (PAT) came about amid concerns by the
DoD and FAA that surplus DoD aircraft parts were being used in the
civil aviation market without proper FAA certification after being
sold to the public by the Defense Reutilization and Marketing
Service (DRMS). The PAT consisted of members from the FAA/Coast
Guard, Army, Navy, Air Force, the DLA/DRMS and the Office of the
Secretary of Defense (OSD). The purpose was to address issues with
the disposal of FSCAPs. The PAT recommended that current
provisioning records be updated to identify FSCAPs with the
provisioning data reflecting the requirement for FSCAP
identification to determine appropriate life cycle documentation.
The PAT foresaw the need for a classification and coding structure
to be part of the Federal Logistics Information System and
universally available. The PAT final report has been approved by
the DoD and the FAA.

5. ADVANTAGES/DISADVANTAGES: Coding of FSCAP benefits will include
improved documentation of surplused parts. Increasing the number of
FSCAP with proper documentation will require fewer parts to be
mutilated and scrapped. This improved documentation should result
in savings to the DoD if these FSCAPs can be sold by DRMOs for
installation on civil aircraft. If this is not done then it is
likely that there will be an increase in new and reparable FSCAPs
being sold for scrap. No studies have been done to calculate the
value or savings which could be realized. There are no known
disadvantages.

6. IMPACT: MILSTRIP must be amended to identify FSCAP codes and
clear-text explanations in Block 27 of the Defense Turn-In Document
(DD Forms 1348-1A and 1348-2) and FSCAP codes in record position 73
of the Disposal Release Order (MILSTRIP Appendix C12). A
corresponding change to the DLMS (Volume 2, Supply) change will be
made to accommodate these FSCAP coding requirements. The DoD
Regulation 4160.21-M must be revised to indicate FSCAP coding
requirements. This change requires modification to wholesale and
retail inventory management and distribution systems. To ensure
compliance, all wholesale and retail inventory and distribution
systems must maintain or access this data prior to initiating a
disposal action.
