25.1  PURPOSE.  This chapter provides guidance and definition for the requirements, responsibilities and actions for continued submarine Unrestricted Operation (URO) to design test depth.  The URO Maintenance Requirement Card (MRC) program is invoked on all Submarine Safety (SUBSAFE) certified submarines.

25.2  UNRESTRICTED OPERATION MAINTENANCE SCHEDULING, PLANNING AND REPORTING.

25.2.1  Maintenance Requirements for Continued Unrestricted Operation to Design Test Depth.  Reference (a) establishes the Maintenance Requirements and identifies the responsibilities and actions required to support continued unrestricted submarine operations to design test depth.  In conjunction with reference (a), Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) has issued individual manuals containing required, periodic SUBSAFE maintenance actions for each ship/class.  The URO MRCs in these publications will identify degradation of the material condition of the hull integrity boundary and of those systems affecting ship's recoverability.  The requirements set forth in these publications are, in addition, defect monitoring requirements, established on an individual ship basis, for submarines in which known uncorrected deficiencies exist.  SUBSAFE certification indicates that a valid recommendation for URO to design test depth can be made.  Maintenance of certification is dependent on both the positive control of all re-entries into the SUBSAFE boundaries per Volume V, Part I, Chapter 5 of this manual, the satisfactory and timely completion of applicable URO MRCs as required by reference (a) and any necessary repairs.  Accomplishment of the URO MRCs specified with this program identify changes within the SUBSAFE boundary which result from inadvertent error and/or from degradation caused by the service environment.

25.2.2  Scheduling and Reporting.  In order for the Type Commanders (TYCOM) to carry out their responsibilities in the material certification of submarines and to aid in decisions concerning operational restrictions, an auditable system of scheduling the performance and reporting of URO MRCs has been developed.  This system provides visibility to problem areas, facilitates verification and provides a permanent record of URO MRC accomplishment in the ship's Maintenance and Material Management (3-M) machinery history maintained at the NAVSEA Logistics Center.

25.2.2.1  Non-SSBN/SSGN 726 Class Ships.  Submarine Maintenance Engineering, Planning and Procurement Activity (SUBMEPP) provided Periodic Maintenance Requirement (PMR) inventories and schedules and the 3-M Master Job Catalog (MJC) Programs are used for scheduling and reporting.  The scheduled URO MRC requirements added to the Current Ship's Maintenance Project (CSMP) from the local scheduling system and the Automated Work Requests (AWR) produced will contain unique Job Control Numbers (JCN) consisting of ship's Unit Identification Code (five characters) plus WC (Department/Division + JC) (four characters) plus Job Sequence Number (four characters).  Appendices A and B of this chapter show a URO AWR for Ship's Force and Fleet Maintenance Activity (FMA) accomplishment respectively.  Appendices C and D of this chapter show examples of the SUBMEPP URO MRC inventories and schedules respectively.

25.2.2.2  SSBN/SSGN 726 Class Ships.  SUBMEPP provided URO MRC inventories, schedules, Master Job File, as well as the Refit Work Planning System, are used for scheduling and reporting.  The scheduled URO MRC requirements added to the CSMP from the local scheduling system and the AWRs produced will contain unique JCNs consisting of ship's Unit Identification Code (five characters) plus WC (Department/Division + JC) (four characters) plus Job Sequence Number (four characters).  Appendices A and B of this chapter show a URO MRC AWR for Ship's Force and FMA accomplishment respectively.  Appendices C and D of this chapter show examples of the SUBMEPP URO inventories and schedules respectively.

25.2.2.3  Submarine Maintenance Engineering Planning and Procurement Activity Inventories and Schedules.  The SUBMEPP inventories and schedules are provided quarterly.  The SUBMEPP schedules reflect all URO MRC requirements coming due within the next 12 months.  A description of the data elements used in the inventories and schedules is provided with each issue.

25.2.3  Baseline and Due Dates.  The baseline date for determining URO MRC due dates is the Last Maintenance Action (LMA) date.  LMA dates for new requirements will be based on the Change Issue Date of the URO MRC invoking the new requirement unless otherwise directed from NAVSEA.  Due dates are calculated based on LMA dates in accordance with paragraph 25.2.3.2 of this chapter.  It is recognized that upkeep and docking schedules for ships which are well into the operating cycle may not permit full compliance with the scheduled due dates.  In such cases, a Departure From Specification (DFS) for the URO MRC will be addressed on a case-by-case basis as specified in Volume V, Part I, Chapter 8 of this manual.  LMA dates and URO MRC due dates are determined as follows:

25.2.3.1  Last Maintenance Action Date.  For new construction ships, all URO MRCs have an initial LMA date established at delivery from new construction or from Post Shakedown Availability to start the operating cycle in accordance with the applicable URO MRC manual.  During the operating period between commissioning and start of Post Shakedown Availability and during the operating cycle following Post Shakedown Availability, an adjusted LMA, as discussed below, is used for URO MRCs.  Calculate the adjusted LMA date as follows:

      a.             If the PMR is accomplished during a period other than a scheduled Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) Availability (e.g., voyage repair periods, at sea, port calls, FMA Availability, refit, upkeep, Technical Availability, etc.) the adjusted LMA date will be the first of the month following the completion date listed on the PMR data form.

      b.             If the PMR is accomplished during a scheduled CNO Availability (e.g., Selected Restricted Availability, Extended Refit Period, Depot Modernization Period, Engineered Refueling Overhaul, Interim Dry Docking and other CNO Availabilities), the adjusted LMA date will be the first of the month following the scheduled availability's actual completion date.

NOTE:          IMMEDIATE SUPERIORS IN COMMAND (ISIC) OPERATING WITH THE ON-SITE PMR SCHEDULING SYSTEM MUST ENSURE THAT AVAILABILITY DATES ARE ACCURATELY MAINTAINED SO THAT COMPLETED AWR UPLINE REPORTED DATA REFLECTS THE ADJUSTED LMA DATE AND ON-SITE PMR SCHEDULING RECORDS CALCULATE THE PROPER NEXT DUE DATE.

25.2.3.2  Calculating Due Dates.  Next due dates are calculated based on an adjusted LMA date.  Due dates are calculated, for scheduling purposes, by taking the adjusted LMA date month (number) and adding the periodicity months (number) to show the month due (i.e., an item with an adjusted LMA date of February 2003 (2/03) with a six month periodicity would be due in August 2003 (8/03)).  The PMR will be accomplished prior to midnight of the last calendar day of the month due.

25.2.4  Periodicity Extensions.  When determining the due dAate for URO MRC inspections 001, 004, and 005 for an individual submarine, inactive time (defined as the number of days pierside plus the number of days in dry-dock) may be excluded from the time elapsed since the last inspection.  When determining the due date for URO MRC 002, 003 (certain portions) and 035, only the time in dry-dock may be excluded from the elapsed time.  The ship's deck log, engineering log or the ship's coolant discharge log will be used to determine the number of days pierside or the number of days in drydock.  Ship's Force will perform this review and provide the applicable dry-dock and/or inactive time via official correspondence to the ISIC.  Extensions of periodicity from the next due date identified in the SUBMEPP PMR inventory for these URO MRCs can be authorized by the TYCOM without further NAVSEA approval.  However, they are not automatic and such requests shall be submitted by letter, in the format of Appendix E of this chapter, to SUBMEPP via the TYCOM.  Upon receipt of TYCOM authorization, SUBMEPP will reflect the periodicity extension and the revised due date in the next issue of the ship's PMR inventories and schedules.

25.2.5  Scheduling, Planning and Reporting Unrestricted Operation Accomplishment at Ship/Fleet Maintenance Activity Level.

25.2.5.1  Scheduling.  The TYCOM PMR Scheduling System Inventories and Schedules is distributed by SUBMEPP to the appropriate ISIC every quarter.  Except at NAVIMFAC PACNORWEST, along with this PMR CD, electronic update files are provided to keep the local scheduling systems up to date with the Class Maintenance Plan (CMP).  As a minimum, ISICs will schedule applicable URO MRCs 45 days (SSBN/SSGN 726 Class submarines) or 60 days (non-SSBN/SSGN 726 Class submarines), as applicable prior to refit fleet maintenance availability.  Those URO MRC AWRs requiring work packages or other planning are forwarded to the FMA Planning Section. 

25.2.5.2  Planning.  FMA Planners will requisition materials, obtain plans and drawings, prepare Formal Work Procedures and/or Controlled Work Packages and coordinate the scheduling with the Ship Superintendent, Production Officer and ISIC Material Office.  Then the job will be turned over to the production WC for accomplishment.  For Ship's Force accomplishment of URO MRCs, the ISIC will provide an AWR to the ship.  The Maintenance Document Control Office (MDCO) will adjust the scheduled start and completion date within the local scheduling system.

25.2.5.3  Reporting to the Maintenance and Material Management (3-M) System.  Each URO MRC AWR contains specific instructions on reporting the completed action and on use of a special feedback code to identify the material condition or that a change in inspection frequency is required.  In order to ensure URO MRCs are correctly accomplished and reported to SUBMEPP, the following actions are to be taken prior to closeout of the AWR by Analysis, Records and Reports Section (ARRS):

      a.             Submarines completing URO MRC AWRs are to fill-in the AWR with action taken codes and suffix of A, B, or C for material condition assessment, if applicable.  Ship will sign for completion, ISIC will sign for acceptance.  Include a narrative statement, if required, and return the original AWR to the ISIC.  The ISIC will review the AWR and forward to ARRS to close out the computer AWR and update SUBMEPP inventories and schedules.  Note that because of the Auto-Close features, the completed AWR will automatically close the deferral in the CSMP.

      b.             FMA Lead Work Centers (LWC) completing URO MRC AWRs must ensure that all assist WCs have completed their work.  The LWC then completes the AWR by filling in action taken codes, signing for completion and obtains acceptance signature from Ship's Force.  The AWR is then returned to ARRS.  The ARRS will verify that all participating WCs have documented completion of their assigned tasks and then pass the AWR to the ISIC for review and updating of SUBMEPP inventories and schedules prior to close-out of the AWR by ARRS.

25.2.6  Unrestricted Operation Maintenance Requirement Card Accomplishment During Chief of Naval Operations Maintenance Availabilities.

      a.             The Availability Work Package (AWP) prepared by SUBMEPP will reflect all URO MRCs authorized for accomplishment during the availability at the AWP Ship Work List Item Number (SWLIN) level.  The Work Package Supplement (WPS), accompanying the AWP, will identify a specific URO MRC requirement to the applicable AWP SWLIN paragraph.  Appendix F of this chapter provides an example of the WPS format.

      b.             For URO MRCs assigned to the depot, the ISIC will enter "Assigned to <depot name> by AWP <AWP number>" in the Remarks/Completion block of the URO MRC Schedule/Inventory and in the local scheduling system.

      c.             URO MRC completions by an industrial activity during CNO Availabilities will be, for non-SSBN/SSGN 726 Class submarines, retrieved from AIM (shipyard information system) by SUBMEPP.  For SSBN/SSGN 726 Class submarines, completions will be reported by the industrial activity as a function of the Submarine Maintenance Program Coordinator as established by reference (b).  The WPS, annotated by the Submarine Maintenance Program Coordinator to show URO PMR completions and material condition feedback categories, will be returned to SUBMEPP and forwarded to parent ISIC upon completion of the availability.  The ISIC will verify that all URO MRCs assigned to the shipyard were reported and subsequently updated by SUBMEPP.

25.2.7  Unrestricted Operation Maintenance Requirement Card Completion Reporting.

      a.             Within 30 days after the completion of an availability the activity accomplishing the URO MRC is required to provide a report of accomplishment to SUBMEPP and the ship's ISIC as well as other technical codes as designated in the URO MRC.  Specific information to be included in the report is identified in the applicable URO MRC.  The accomplishing activity shall retain a legible copy of the most current inspection report until the ship is disposed of or stricken from the Naval Register. 

      b.             Prior to Fast Cruise for CNO Availabilities, the industrial activity is required to provide the ship and ISIC with a letter of certification (including final inspection categories A, B, or C when applicable) that certifies all required inspections have been satisfactorily completed.  For items which must be accomplished in dry-dock, the industrial activity is required to provide such certification prior to undocking.

      c.             Upon identifying a material condition that would result in a reduced inspection periodicity if not restored to Category A condition during the availability in which the condition was found, a special report is required to be submitted by the accomplishing activity in accordance with the applicable URO MRC and, if applicable, the AWP.  This special report shall be provided immediately to NAVSEA (SEA 07), TYCOM, ISIC, and SUBMEPP indicating:

                      (1)           Applicable MRC.

                      (2)           Equipment component identification.

                      (3)           Inspection category.

                      (4)           The reduced or deferred periodicity of each equipment component that should be inspected at less than its normal periodicity.  This reduced periodicity report requirement is in addition to the completion reporting requirements of paragraphs 25.2.7.a and b above.

25.2.8  Operating Cycle/Interval Extensions.  An Audit Plan to assess the material condition of ships prior to extending their operating cycle/intervals beyond URO MRC periodicities due to changing CNO Availability dates or operational schedules, is addressed in reference (c).  Additional guidance and responsibilities are contained in Volume II, Part I, Chapter 3 of this manual.

25.3  RESPONSIBILITIES.

25.3.1  Type Commander.

      a.             Perform periodic audits of the ISICs and FMAs to verify full compliance with the provisions of reference (a), Volume V, Part I, Chapter 9 of this manual and this chapter.

      b.             Provide guidance to the ISICs, obtaining NAVSEA concurrence as necessary, when deviations in the scheduling or accomplishment of maintenance or repairs are required by a DFS request and resolution per Volume V, Part I, Chapter 8 or this manual.

25.3.2  Submarine Maintenance Engineering, Planning and Procurement Activity.

      a.             Receive reports of completion of URO MRCs from all completing activities.

      b.             Review completion reports for compliance with the scheduled periodicity requirements and any change in the status category.

      c.             Establish an LMA date per paragraph 25.2.3.1 of this chapter.

      d.             Revise the periodicity and next due dates in ship URO MRC inventories and schedules to reflect any NAVSEA approved periodicity change, TYCOM approved periodicity extensions for URO MRCs 001 through 005, and 035 as allowed for in paragraph 25.2.4 of this chapter and NAVSEA approval of Major DFSs for extending URO MRC requirements.

      e.             Notify the TYCOM via the on-site SUBMEPP Representative of any URO MRC beyond periodicity for TYCOM resolution.

      f.              Provide updated:

                      (1)           URO MRC inventories and schedules CD in accordance with the distribution.

                      (2)           For SSBN/SSGN 726 Class ships, provide Refit Work Package electronic files which reflect URO MRC scheduling to the Trident Refit Facility at the arrival minus 60 day milestone.

                      (3)           For those ISICs using Micro-PMR, provide scheduling and configuration files to process in the local scheduling system and FMA database quarterly.

                      (4)           Provide MJC update files which reflect URO MRC changes to the ISIC/TYCOM at least quarterly or upon request.

      g.             Provide, as enclosures to the quarterly inventories and schedules forwarding letter, a list of URO MRCs that appear overdue in the schedules and a list of URO MRCs that have been reported complete by the fleet but Objective Quality Evidence has not been received by SUBMEPP.

      h.             Receive and review URO MRC Objective Quality Evidence for technical accuracy and maintain URO MRC completion history.

25.3.3  Immediate Superior In Command.

      a.             Maintain auditable records of URO MRC accomplishment for each submarine.  These records will include the current SUBMEPP Quarterly inventories and schedules, completed AWRs for URO MRCs completed, data report forms/reports submitted as a result of last accomplishment and all approved DFS.

      b.             Conduct periodic audits of assigned FMAs and units to verify full compliance with the provisions of reference (a), Volume V, Part I, Chapter 9 of this manual and this chapter.

      c.             In addition to the records of audits, maintain a file, by ship, of the current URO MRC inventories and schedules as provided by SUBMEPP.  The schedules (Appendix D of this chapter) for each ship shall be annotated with the Job Sequence Number (JSN), the new adjusted LMA date and the next due dates for the completions and any periodicity extensions authorized.

      d.             Although the responsibility for the accomplishment of URO MRCs must rest with the ship's Commanding Officer, the nature and scope of the URO MRCs dictate that the ISIC coordinate the accomplishment of URO MRCs in accordance with the SUBMEPP provided PMR inventories and schedules.  Accordingly, the ISIC shall assist in the preparation of, and approve each submarine's URO MRC performance schedule.  In addition, the ISIC shall:

                      (1)           Unless previously notified by SUBMEPP of delays, notify the SUBMEPP Representative at TYCOM of the non-receipt of schedules and reports.

                      (2)           Upon receipt of the quarterly report from SUBMEPP, perform a line-by-line verification of  each ship's new URO MRC Inventory and Schedule against the URO MRC Inventory and Schedule report held by the ISIC.  At a minimum, this verification will include a review of each URO MRC LMA, Due Date, and Periodicity to ensure any recent completion data or rescheduling data that has been submitted to SUBMEPP has been accurately incorporated into the new Inventory and Schedule.  PMRs accomplished during the month preceding the quarterly report may or may not be reflected in the issue received.  Similarly, upon receipt of URO MRC changes, audit the individual URO MRC procedural and schedule information against each ship's PMR Inventory and Schedule held by the ISIC to verify that the component/equipment and periodicity has not changed and that provided changes do not impact current schedules.  Resolve identified deficiencies through the SUBMEPP Representative at TYCOM.

                      (3)           Review the enclosures to the PMR procedural inventories and the schedule forwarding letter and advise SUBMEPP of the completion dates and JSNs for URO MRCs listed.  Forward copies of completed Data Report Forms for these and any other URO MRC completions identified by SUBMEPP as having missing Data Report Forms.

                      (4)           Following receipt of the URO MRC Inventory and Schedule quarterly report from SUBMEPP the ISIC shall provide the following material to each applicable ship:

                                      (a)           A copy of each PMR Inventory and Schedule CD.

                                      (b)           A copy of each organizational level URO AWR assigned to Ship's Force and scheduled for accomplishment during the next refit/availability.

                                      (c)           A copy of the individual ship's URO MRC Inventory and Schedule that has been customized by the ISIC to include information more current than the quarterly report provided by SUBMEPP and JSN scheduling information entered by the ISIC URO MRC coordinator.

      e.             Control input of the SUBMEPP scheduling file (M79EII) to the local scheduling system and resultant calldowns to the CSMP, which will produce the JCN and products for job completion. 

      f.              Ensure that all URO MRC requirements with the appropriate screening (Ship's Force, FMA) are in the CSMP for subsequent development by SUBMEPP of forthcoming CNO Availability AWPs.

      g.             In the event that deviations from required periodicities or full requirements of the URO MRCs are required, request approval from the TYCOM by submitting a DFS request in accordance with Volume V, Part I, Chapter 8 of this manual.  Such DFS requests will be a Major DFS for URO MRC program deviations.  DFS requests are also to be submitted when repairs arising from the URO MRC inspections cannot be completely accomplished.  Periodicity extension requests for URO MRC 001, 002, 003, 004, 005 and 035 shall be submitted in accordance with paragraph 25.2.4 of this chapter. 

      h.             Establish procedures to affect routing of completed AWRs from the FMA ARRS or from the submarine (LWC 991) through the ISIC for all URO MRC transactions.  The ISIC should ensure proper documentation has been completed as described in the special reporting procedures of the AWR.  This must include the material condition feedback code as part of the final action, if required.  A rejection series code (6A-6I) should not be accepted unless the FMA Repair Officer cannot accomplish the URO MRC at that site.  Delays in accomplishment are to be reported as status changes so that the job remains in the production system and is visible as a "to-be-done" requirement.  If the URO MRC requirement cannot be accomplished at the site, the ISIC must ensure update (re-screening) of the CSMP concurrently with DFS notification, if necessary.  Each processed AWR is to be validated with the PMR Special Report described in the Maintenance Resource Management System section of Volume II, Part I, Chapter 2 of this manual and, if satisfactory, passed to the Automated Data Processing Center for computer input.  Upon receipt of the report of maintenance action accomplishment from an assigned unit or the FMA, review the report for completeness, consistency, acceptability of conditions and material trends.  Where unsatisfactory conditions are found, direct repairs.  Where repairs cannot be made, submit a DFS in accordance with Volume V, Part I, Chapter 8 of this manual.  Ensure SUBMEPP inventories and schedules are updated in accordance with paragraph 25.3.3(c) of this chapter.  Clear URO MRC major DFS upon TYCOM or NAVSEA approval and upon receipt of the SUBMEPP Quarterly PMR inventories and schedules, and ensure they accurately reflect the new due date of the URO MRC as stated in the approved DFS.

      i.              Upon identifying a material condition that would result in a reduced inspection periodicity, ensure the accomplishing activity immediately reports the condition found via faxed letter to NAVSEA (SEA 07), the TYCOM and SUBMEPP in accordance with paragraph 25.2.7.c of this chapter.

      j.              Monitor the timely submission of URO MRC data report forms and the report of accomplishment for URO MRCs completed by the FMA and Ship's Force to ensure required documentation is submitted in accordance with paragraph 25.2.7 of this chapter.  Ensure data report forms are submitted to report component replacement/repair/operation out of specification.  Review all Ship's Force accomplished URO MRC data for compliance with the requirements of the URO MRC Program prior to submittal to SUBMEPP.

      k.             Prior to a ship's underway period, review the ship's certification continuity report, if submitted, to ensure the ISIC and ship's records (including the CSMP) accurately reflect URO MRC status.

      l.              The Parent ISIC of deploying ships will:

                      (1)           Ensure that any URO MRC due for accomplishment by the ship during its deployment period is identified in the CSMP transfer file and that the ship possesses the AWRs and URO MRC data report forms (if applicable) for reporting job completion.

                      (2)           Provide a message to the applicable deployed FMA/Squadron identifying any URO MRC expected to be accomplished by the deployed FMA and the status of required materials for each submarine deploying to cover the period of the deployment.

      m.            Deployed Squadrons will review the URO MRC status of deployed submarines upon in-chop.  Perform the function of the Parent ISIC in ensuring all URO MRCs are accomplished and reported within the required periodicity while the submarine is deployed.

NOTE:          THIS IN NO WAY RELIEVES THE PARENT ISIC OF THE RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE THAT THE REQUIRED URO MRCs ARE ACCOMPLISHED WITHIN THE SPECIFIED PERIODICITIES.

      n.             Prior to the start of a CNO availability, ISIC URO coordinators will:

                      (1)           Assign JCNs to URO MRC items assigned to Forces Afloat in the AWP and screen them to an availability prior to the start of the CNO availability or to the concurrent availability in accordance with the directions in the AWP.  Forces Afloat items are accomplished by Ship's Force or Performance Monitoring Team.  Care must be taken to appropriately assign URO MRC items to the correct accomplishing activity.

                      (2)           ISIC URO coordinators will not assign JCNs to URO MRC items assigned to the shipyard in the AWP.  In the URO MRC inventories and schedules, in the remarks/completion information area, enter "assigned to (name of shipyard) by AWP (name and number of availability)".  The shipyard is responsible for performing, auditing and reporting all URO MRC items assigned by the AWP.

                      (3)           URO MRCs assigned to Forces Afloat by the AWP for accomplishment prior to the start of the depot period, but for some reason were not completed, will be reassigned to a concurrent availability or formally reassigned to the shipyard via a supplemental work request.

      o.             During a CNO availability, URO MRCs assigned to the shipyard by the AWP which are not accomplished during the depot period will be placed on the guarantee list or reassigned to a fleet availability by the TYCOM following the depot period provided the URO MRC does not exceed its due date.  The ISIC will be notified of this reassignment by formal correspondence which will include justification and reason why the scheduled and planned requirements were not met.

      p.             Prior to CNO availability completion, ISICs will audit URO MRCs assigned to Forces Afloat by the AWP and ensure all have been satisfactorily completed and documented within the required periodicity.  The ISIC audit will also verify that all URO MRC items coming due within six months of availability completion are complete or assigned to a follow-on fleet availability.  Under no circumstances are URO MRC due dates to be exceeded.  ISIC Quality Assurance Officers will not be responsible for auditing URO MRCs assigned to the depot in the AWP.

      q.             Following CNO availability completion, the ISIC URO coordinator will ensure that all URO MRCs assigned to the shipyard were reported and subsequently updated by SUBMEPP.  ISICs will only upline the closed JCNs for URO MRCs completed by Forces Afloat.

25.3.4  Submarine Commanding Officer.

      a.             Ensure all URO MRCs are accomplished within the required periodicity as specified by reference (a), Volume V, Part I, Chapter 5 of this manual and this chapter.

      b.             For visual inspections in between URO MRC 003 inspections, see Volume V, Part I, Chapter 5, paragraph 5.8.3.d. of this manual for a description of requirements to inspect submarine hull structure in between the periodic URO MRC 003 inspections.

      c.             Maintain auditable records of the accomplishment of URO MRCs to permit verification of compliance with reference (a), Volume V, Part I, Chapter 10 of this manual and this chapter.  These records shall consist of:

                      (1)           A copy of the TYCOM and NAVSEA SUBSAFE Material Certification message from new construction, Depot Modernization Period or overhaul until the ship's current status is reflected in reference (d).  When the ship's current status is reflected in reference (d) the messages may be destroyed and the current notice will be retained.

                      (2)           Copies of letter of completion for all URO MRC work accomplishment by other activities.

                      (3)           Copies of letters of completion and inspection reports for work accomplished by Ship's Force.  The required report forms are located at the end of the individual URO MRCs.  A copy of each completed report shall be submitted to the ISIC for review a minimum of 24 hours prior to underway.

                      (4)           One copy each of the current Quarterly URO MRC inventories and schedules as printed from the CD provided by SUBMEPP via the ISIC.  Annotate the URO MRC Inventory Report when accepting completed work requests from the FMA or Ship's Force (LWC 991).  It is the ship's responsibility for ensuring that the reports reflect the actual configuration, especially with regards to the equipment identity and the Allowance Parts List.

                      (5)           Copy of outstanding URO MRC AWRs to be accomplished by Ship's Force.

                      (6)           One copy of each approved DFS from the requirements of reference (a), Volume V, Part I, Chapter 8 of this manual and this chapter.  This authority is based on the following factors and considerations:

                                      (a)           The completion of all URO MRCs, or portions thereof, will be reported on AWRs provided by the ISIC in accordance with paragraph 25.2.5.3 of this chapter.  Particular care must be exercised to ensure that existing conditions found at the time of inspection and/or need for repair or replacement of components is recorded in detail as prescribed by the URO MRC.

                                      (b)           Deviations from URO MRC requirements or periodicities may result in operational restrictions being placed on a unit.  In order to determine whether such restrictions are necessary, the TYCOM must be fully apprised of the number and extent of deviations involved.

                                      (c)           Allow no deviations in the scheduling or accomplishment of required URO MRC maintenance actions unless formal NAVSEA approval of such deviations has been granted by an approved DFS or as allowed in paragraph 25.2.4 of this chapter.  All system disassembles, repairs, and reassemblies must be conducted in accordance with Volume V of this manual, including requests for a DFS, if necessary.

                                      (d)           Except in an emergency, refrain from submerged operations if all required URO MRC maintenance actions have not been completed within the specified periodicities unless formal authorization to deviate from these requirements has been granted by NAVSEA.  NAVSEA recommendation and TYCOM authority to conduct URO MRC to design test depth are contingent upon the satisfactory completion of these maintenance actions.
