  publication control program. Consist of
• Unit Publication Control Point (UPCP)
• MMO
• XO
• Subordinate officers
• Section officers
• UPCP and MMO must work together to develop the

103
FUNCTIONAL AREAS

• Four functional areas of a control system
• Publications Allowance Control.
• Which publications are required.
• Internal Distribution Control.
• How publications are handled to ensure the
  correct publication, and quantity get to the
  correct section.
• Inventory Control.
• How they are maintained once in the library.
• Requisition Control.
• How deficiencies are replaced.

104
PUBLICATIONS ALLOWANCE CONTROL

• Consists of step-by-step procedures, what and how
  many publications are required and ending with a
  Publication List update.
• Three categories of publications are involved.

105
CATEGORIES

• Technical Publications (Equipment Associated).
• Technical Publications (Non-Equipment
  Associated).
• Non-Technical publications.

106
PUBLICATIONS ALLOWANCE CONTROL

• Categories previously discussed are taken through
  a series of seven steps that will culminate a
  Publication List.
• Each category will be taken separately through
  steps 1 through 4, starting with Technical
  (Equipment Associated)

• Steps 5 through 7 are common for all three
  categories.

107
STEP ONE

• Determine what equipment is rated or supported by
  each maintenance/commodity section by using
• Units T/E
• Allowance List
• Special Allowance List

108
STEP TWO

• What publications are associated with each type
  of equipment using the SL-1-2.
• Locate each type of equipment in the SL-1-2
• Record all pubs related to that specific
  equipment and within the units authorized EOM.
• The units authorized EOM, and any special
  maintenance authorizations granted by higher
  headquarters will be located in the units T/O.

109
STEP TWO

• All MIs will be maintained by the unit
  regardless of its EOM.
• Support maintenance units must have all
  publications for the units they support.
• Some end items have components that have their
  own pub.
• These are not always listed under the major end
  item, may have to be researched separately.

110
STEP THREE

• Number of copies required for each publication.
• Requires a judgment call based on number of
  technical libraries and number of copies in each
  library.
• You must enter the quantity required per
  location.

111
STEP THREE

• Factors to consider in determining number of
  libraries.
• Units concept of employment.
• Units T/O.
• Contingency plans, periodic deployments, and
  mobilization.
• Shop spread out, or centralized.

112
STEP THREE

• Factors to consider in determining number of
  copies in each library.
• Quantity of each type of equipment.
• Number of maintenance/operator teams that may be
  working at the same time.
• Where is the publication going to be used.

113
STEP FOUR

• Determine and record the PCN.
• Technical publications you must check the PCN for
  each individual publication in the SL-1-2/1-3.

114
STEP FIVE

• Similar to Step three, but this is when you are
  going to analyze and refine your publication
  requirements.
• Example Two copies of TM-B PCN 22222222222,
  and three copies of TM-C PCN 33333333333.
• Ensure you list on the PL that you require these
  amounts, for these two types of pubs.

115
STEP FIVE

• Reviewing the requirements, under each PCN,
  decide how many copies you need.
• Lists the PCNs you require and Qty.
• You may want to separate the source of each
  publication.
• HQMC, Force HQs, Major Commands, MSC.
• Be alert of duplications during your analysis.
• Some publications may apply to more than one type
  of equipment, you may only need one.

116
STEP SIX

• Consolidate the units requirements at the unit
  level.
• This is to prepare for updating the PL.
• UPCP and MMO should chair a meeting of all
  required personnel that have requirements for
  these publications

117
STEP SEVEN

• UPCP will prepare the necessary correspondence
  for updating the PL.
• Correspondences must also be prepared to request
  changes to the distribution lists of higher
  headquarters.
