The Contractor shall give the Government a 30-day notice of the time and place of their validation so the Government may attend.

2.5 The Contractor shall provide the Government with Final Reproducible Copy (FRC) DA TMs IAW the CDRLs. All errors discovered by the Government or Contractor during validation, verification, and reviews shall be corrected by the Contractor at no additional charge.

2.6 Technical manual data prepared and delivered digitally IAW this standard shall be Extensible Markup Language (XML) tagged using the Document Type Definitions (DTDs) and the XML Style sheet Language (XSL), or style sheets in accordance with MIL-STD-2361. A sample source file is provided in MIL-HDBK-1222. The DTD referenced in this standard interprets the technical content and structure for the functional requirements contained in this standard and is mandatory for use.

The XSLs referenced herein interpret the style and format. As specified by the contracting activity, XSLs or style sheets may be used to produce final reproducible paper copy for all TMs prepared in accordance with this standard. For additional information on DTDs and specific XSLs, refer to MIL-STD-2361. To obtain the DTD, style sheets, associated tag and attribute descriptions, which are XML constructs, may be obtained from the Logistics Support Activity (LOGSA) also listed in MIL-STD-40051-1/2.
