GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. This AMA cancels AMAs 2017-07, 2017-07A, 2017-07B, and 2017-15.

2. Numerous formatting and spelling errors, including the errors noted in AMAs 2017-07, 2017-07A,
2017-07B, and 2017-15, have been corrected in COMNAVAIRFORINST 4790.2C. The corrected copy has
been posted and is available for download from the NAVAIR website at
http://www.navair.navy.mil/logistics/4790/.

3. The following amplifying information remains required reading:

A. An example of a BCM Request Form can be downloaded from CNAP Sharepoint at

https://cpf.navy.deps.mil/sites/cnap/default.aspx.
Directions: On the right hand side of the Sharepoint webpage, click on the link to
"CSEC/AMAs/CTPL/MESMs/AMMT POCs/TWDC/ NDI/JSF". Once opened, click on the "AMAs" folder.
NOTE: AMA 2016-22 provides procedures for accessing Sharepoint.

B. Completed CSEC checklists do not have to be routed to the MO.

The purpose of the memorandum sent to the MO after completion of Program and Work Center Audits
is to report that the audit was done and inform the MO if there are any outstanding issues that require
more than just "fix on the spot" correction.

C. Program Audits designated as a responsibility of the Assistant Maintenance Officer or MMCO can be
performed by other personnel. If AMO/MMCO audits are delegated to other personnel, the
AMO/MMCO must be fully confident that the individual performing the audit has expertise in the area
and will do a thorough review.
Delegation does not relieve the AMO/MMCO of responsibility to review the audit, sign off completion,
report results to the MO, and track correction of discrepancies.

D. As stated in Chapter 1, paragraph 1.1.2.1.b., forms without DOD or DON form numbers may be
modified as needed to meet specific aircraft or equipment requirements, provided the minimum data
requirements specified in the NAMP are met.

E. (Modified) The Hydraulic Contamination Control NAMPSOP, paragraph 10.5.4.5.c., requires the
Program Monitor to perform the annual proficiency test of designated Hydraulic Contamination Control
Analysis Technicians. The proficiency test cannot be simulated; it must be based on an actual hydraulic
fluid sample. For example, the proficiency test can be a sample required to sign off the WO for removal
and replacement of a hydraulic component, or a sample performed on hydraulic servicing equipment.
The intent is for the Monitor to utilize the CSEC 5800 during the actual sample processing steps. A
separate WO/MAF does not have to be generated to document the annual proficiency test. The QAR
designated as the Hydraulic Contamination Control Monitor can satisfy their annual proficiency
requirement through another Hydraulic Contamination Control qualified QAR/CDQAR. In large
organizations (FRS training squadrons; large IMAs, etc.) where the annual proficiency test workload
exceeds the capacity of the Program Monitor, the QA Officer may allow other QARs or CDQARs
designated as Hydraulic Contamination Control Analysis Technicians to administer the annual proficiency
tests.

F. Per the NAMDRP NAMPSOP, paragraph 10.9.5.2.c., the MO will designate Discrepancy Report (DR)
Submitters via the Monthly Maintenance Plan. Activities need to be aware that HMRs, CAT I PQDRs, and
CAT 1 TPDRs submitted in JDRS are auto-generated as naval messages. Therefore, per the NTP 3(J)
Telecommunications Users Manual, DR Submitters must also be designated in writing by the activity's CO
to release organizational record messages for DRs. JDRS requires a copy of the designation letter when
when registering as a DR Submitter. A CO letter is not required for individuals registering only as DR
Drafters.

G. The corrected OPNAV Form 4790/106A Assembly Service Record form has been posted to NAVFORMS
ONLINE and can be downloaded from https://navalforms.documentservices.dla.mil/web/public/home

H. Chapter 3, paragraph 3.2.2.8.h.(1) says the Weight and Balance Officer will be designated in writing in
the MMP, and paragraph 3.4.1.5.f. specifies the CO as the designating authority. To clarify, the CO will
designate the Weight and Balance Officer, per the direction in NAVAIR 01-1B-50, Section 8, par.
8.2.3.(e)(3).

I. Per the NAMDRP NAMPSOP, paragraph 10.9.3.7a., Acceptance Inspection Deficiency Reports (AIDRs)
must be submitted for newly manufactured, modified and reworked aircraft. Regarding AIDRS for depot
modifications: AIDRs are not required when a D-level TD is incorporated on aircraft in the physical
custody of the squadron; i.e., when the squadron Maintenance Control and QA have oversight of the
modification work and tool inventory in the same manner as they do for a Depot In Service Repair (ISR).

J. The SE Training and Licensing NAMPSOP, paragraph 10.16.5.2, NOTE 3, discusses failure of the practical
or written examination during testing for verification of proficiency or license renewal.
However, verification of proficiency to honor a license issued by a previous command is no longer an
option. As a minimum, personnel previously licensed on the same T/M/S aircraft must pass the same
Phase II written and practical tests required for license renewal, and will be issued a new license. When
deemed necessary due to the individual's lack of current experience in operating SE, activities should
also direct refresher Phase II OJT prior to renewing a license.

K. Per the HAZMAT NAMPSOP, paragraph 10.19.3.2c., Work Center Supervisors and Work Center
HAZMAT Coordinators will complete HAZMAT storage and handling training provided by the station
HAZMIN Center.
If the HAZMIN Center does not provide training, the command's HAZMAT Supervisor may provide the
training. Training must be conducted per a written training syllabus that includes state and local
HAZWASTE laws and regulations.

4. Submit CSEC discrepancies to the AMMT Program Lead, as listed on CNAP Sharepoint under the
AMMT folder at https://cpf.navy.deps.mil/sites/cnap/default.aspx.

5. Submit administrative discrepancies (incorrect spelling, punctuation, paragraph numbering, code,

title, email address,
etc.) via email to namp_policy.fct@navy.mil// BT
